easiest way to enter the central channel?

[mike 134]

Hi again,

 

I have painstakingly refrained from ejaculation for the last two weeks in an effort to accumulate vast quantities of body heat so I can study its effects on different bodily areas. I am frankly disappointed at the results thus far. Sending heat to the neck, chest, abdomen, and limbs produces no effects whatsoever, and heat to the pelvis possibly increases erection quality but it's probably placebo. I don't need to mention again the negtive effects of heat in the head. I don't think it's because I can't produce enough heat, in fact I managed to create so much that it almost burns, and there is a swirling vortex wherever I concentrate the most.

 

Most of the heat I produce within the torso is along what you might call the front and back channels that are the constituents of the so called microcosmic orbit. There is one important area that I have not explored however, and that is the central channel which runs from the bottom in the perineam to the very top of the head. So my question for today is, what is the easiest way for me to enter the central channel so that I can formally investigate its functions? Is there a way to use the heat that I create as a portal to entry? I've already tried heating up the perineum and then sending heat upward from there, but that doesn't work.

 

Now before anyone says that's way too advanced for a one trick pony like me who doesn't even know how to meditate or do any yoga poses, I will say that I have actually entered this channel several times before, but never consciously and intentionally. It always occurs randomly every few weeks within the context of a lucid dream. One moment I am in the middle of a dream, the next I feel an electrical steam starting from the perineum going upward, and I see lots of bright multi-coloured lights and swirls, and when it gets high enough I get a strange and difficult to describe whole-body-trembling-electrical-tunnel cloud effect. So I know that I can enter the central channel somehow; the switch is somewhere, but I don't know how to consciously pull it off when I'm actually awake.

 

Any ideas? Thanks again.

Read my signature. You won't get far fiddling with the form skhanda. It's mental hindrances that have caused our chi to be so clogged in the first place, so no matter how much chi work you do you need to let go of chi and meditate to open all the channels anyhow.

 

 

Don't give yourself extra work, just progress through shamatha (read 'The Attention Revolution' by Alan Wallace), developing wisdom and virtue along the way. That's what matters. Chi purifies as a natural side-effect of having a balanced, clear, strong mind!

 

 

If you want to speed things a little, do some simple chi work (such as nadi shodana pranayama) on the side, but don't attach to the body, and keep things in perspective.

It seems that lucid dreaming comes naturaly to you , so prehapes try and explore it toroughly and learn that way -- it is obviously your gift . Through lucid dreaming one can learn to be lucid in waking state too .

One good way is to ask yourself a question about this issue and concentrate on it in quietness before going to sleep . It may be suprisng how much we can learn from ourselves in dreams .

You see , on one level you already 'know how to do this' , otherwise it would not happen . Kundalini is your fuller potential that is manifesting in your dreams , through becoming aware in the dreams this knowledge will be become clear and common knowledge in subconciusness . Which means easy acess to it in the waking state .
