When an ant crawls upward!

When all the five organs of perception - eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin and organs of action - the hands, feet, speech, organs of reproduction and excretion - are stilled and refrained from expression, the energy of the mind is diverted and focussed within. It rises within and fills the being. In that heightened state of awareness, the supreme joy that exists is revealed just at the time when a sensation like an ant crawling upward is experienced. The verse gives an idea of the minute and particle-level experience of awareness spoken about. - Swahilya Shambhavi. (Pic.

Awareness...

Through the spine

Nadis are subtle channels of energy that flow through the body. They are not something tangible that one can touch and see, but it is perceptible to those with subtle vision and can nevertheless be experienced. This technique mentioned by Shiva says, one can realise the supreme being if they sit down in a relaxed manner with the spine erect and focus the attention on the Sushumna Nadi that runs from the tip of the spine to the top of the head like a slender fibre of the lotus stem. Energy or Kundalini Shakti, which is nothing but one's awareness, flows through this space which is an experience of the stillness and silence of Shiva. - Swahilya Shambhavi (swahilya.soulmate@gmail.com)

Kundalini move

At the speed of lightning

The energy of the Kundalini moves upward as fast and powerul as a streak of lightning passing through vortex after vortex of energy. After its travels upward completing three fist measurements of length at the end of it is the experience of the great dawn of consciousness.
