RajG Posted December 2, 2008 Hello folks! New guy Raj here. Sorry if this seems long... I am hoping to find a path on this journey I seem to be on. Started training in martial arts in the mid 80's (Hwarangdo\Hapkido) which led to some initial internal work. Stopped that after philosophical conflicts and some unnerving events of sleep paralysis which seemed to occur after meditation then stuck with external arts (Kempo, Okinawan Karate)for about 12 years until a couple of months ago. Seen stuff personally regarding chi direction recently which peaked my interest with internal energy work which I lightly practiced with Hapkido which brought me back to the journey within after 20 years. The path led to reading about John Chang which took me to reading both of Kostas' books which led to this site. So after reconciling some spiritual conflicts and dealing with fear of sleep paralysis and the unknown it seems that the Tao is where I have been led. I am more than curious to see where this leads   Cheers,  Raj Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taiji Bum Posted December 2, 2008 Yep, sleep paralysis sucks. Its usually the first stage of an OBE and if you can overcome the fear you will either pop out of your body or have a kundalini rising. Nice intro and welcome to da Bums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice intro and welcome to da Bums. Â Â Darin, Â Thanks! At first I was terrified on the sleep paralysis but in the last couple of months after reading some stuff here and there I am going to see where it leads. I've just had those incidents so frequently something needs to happen. I've heard stuff during it (chains rattling, high pitched hum even muffled voices) and of course felt trapped in the body along with pressure on me and swaying back and forth motions. My greatest fears were what I may see (scary monster types) or losing my mind. Now that I'm actually looking for it to occur it may not happen for a while...

Mal Posted December 3, 2008 Now that I'm actually looking for it to occur it may not happen for a while... Â that does seem to be the way that these things work. I'm never prepared for the "cool stuff" It's always afterwards that finds me going "oh so that's what was happening" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taiji Bum Posted December 3, 2008 Sounds like your spontaneously in an early stage of kundalini awakening with the noises and swaying. How old are you? These things usually happen in seven year cycles and at the ages of 21, 28, 35 and 42 kundalini really erupts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just turned 43 in October and had the swaying experience just before that. The noises happened earlier...several months ago. Funny thing is the episodes usually happen, or should I say end, between 4:30am-7am ish give or take some minutes. Will they dwindle now that I am past the 42 year age?
