How Did I Do It?
Like I said in my first post, Jesus came to me in a vision. After that, many things began to change around me. My workload became lighter at my job. My college educational focus increased. I moved out of the city. My children went to live full time with their father. Everything became easier for me to study and prepare for a life-altering journey that I had no idea was coming. As I mentioned before, it all happened as part of everyday life choices. Only my choices were directly influenced by God.
I began serious meditation in late 2007-2008, as part of my Master's program at the university. My studies were becoming more holistic in nature with each class. I sat for about 20 minutes each morning in meditation. I never pushed myself to sit longer. I tried a variety of methods from guided meditation, to counting my breath to listening to musical rhythms. But, I lost focus on counting. I didn't like some of the music. One of the guided meditations even made me feel ill afterward. What was best for me was to just sit quietly. It took a couple of weeks to attain No-mind.
Then, I started to see swirling forms and colors behind closed eyelids. It was pretty cool. A little psychedelic, I think. But, I stayed with it as part of a
class meditation/self-observation lesson.
My dreams were increasing in volume and clarity. I was documenting up to 10 dreams per night on a little notepad by my bed. If there were words or concepts I did not know, I looked them up on the Internet the next day. Some of the dreams were for then and there; while others were for the coming experience. I kept journals daily from about 2006 forward. (another guided pre-awakening task.)
To date, I believe there are well over 200 journals.
In 2008, I watched a 60 Minutes documentary on cattle feedlots and chicken & turkey farms and was so put off by what I saw that I gave up meat in my personal protest against these practices. (another guided behavior by God, as eating mammals is toxic to the human anatomy) I became a vegetarian but I was told to keep eating fish, the term is pescatarian.
The gluttonous consumption of killing mammals and birds for food must end. Throughout many countries around the world, vegetarianism and diet control is part of their culture. Americans, specifically are paying the price for their poor choices in the form of colon cancers, heart disease, obesity, and more. When you are tired of being sick, you will change your eating and exercise habits.
Through dream messages, I was guided to take up Raja-Yoga. It is a breathing exercise that expedites the Awakening of the Kundalini. I read parts of the book and then just did the breathing technique without all the nose plugs. I used the visualizations of airflow up and out the top of my head. Their instructions were a bit dumb to me so I changed them for my comfort. Likewise, when I sat in meditation, I did not put my thumb to my finger and sit with my hands on my knees. All those techniques are egoistic control methods.
In November of 2009, I felt a strange wobble movement/sensation in my root chakra area. As I was unfamiliar with Kundalini, since the Hindu words were all gibberish to me, I did not know what this feeling was. It didn't hurt so I just kept with it. I laugh now at my ignorance and blind trust. Anyway, as it was my soul destiny to Awaken Kundalini, the changes I made had no effect on the outcome. I did it!
Once that silent sleeping serpent is roused from its slumber, there is no putting it back!
I have learned that Kundalini can be slowed down and controlled to a certain extent by limiting carbohydrates but when God wants something done; HE overrides all my abilities to stop it. In fact, awakening kundalini reduces your free will to about 25% and you become completely dependent on the Ineffable One God.
This makes your EGO scream "No Free Will?" Saying it out loud does seem a bit odd but the living - element of it comes down to God, the Loving Creator or Ego, the pain suffering, and profane world? Choose.
I choose Jesus and the Ineffable One of the loving miraculous!
After the first wobbling/slow spinning sensation in my root chakra area, the full rise of Kundalini up through my entire spinal column (aka 8-point Chakra Tree) and out the top of my head took almost another year.
Drumming, chanting, singing bowls, crystals, massage, hot mineral soaks, sexual activity (alone, with a partner, or stimulated by Divine), lots of sunlight, limited sugar, a high plant protein diet (wheatgrass, spinach, kale, salads, etc), lots of water, grounding and moderate exercise were all part of the process.
It is important to note that I did not do any of this on my own. Jesus was guiding me the whole time, by influencing my thoughts, my actions, and blasting the earth (and me) with solar flares, gamma rays, moon cycles, equinoxes, planetary alignments, and other cosmic energy forces to make this transition happen. The sun was entering a solar maximum period and the blast out of body was perpetrated by a profound 10-minute gamma-ray burst a few days prior.
Remember, everything is interconnected!
