Part 2: Orgasmic Kundalini Rush, Tantric Taoist Awakening
Shakti Prana, Resistance, & Freedom
Shakti Prana is an expression of earthly chi and is often one of the first signs that one’s life force and spirit is seeking actualization, or liberation. It is characterized by uncontrolled, spontaneous movements of a mildly convulsive, undulating, or vibrating quality. It may happen in a sexual or nonsexual context, awake or asleep. It is called streaming, kriyas, and body orgasm by many. Those who call it Kundalini are ill informed as true Kundalini, though sharing some of these qualities, is different, and very powerful, potentially dangerous.
Shakti Prana becomes more apparent when this energy overcomes our resident resistance. Ordinarily we have enough energy to run our minds, bodies, emotions at a certain level. Either by increasing our life force, or decreasing our resistance, there will then be a surplus of energy available. You are experiencing this surplus as an energized pleasure and enhanced creativity. This is a very normal experience in this state.
Resistance tends to keep our energy “locked down,” allowing just enough life force so we may participate in the dream of the herd, our social consensual reality. Resistance is mostly fear. It can have a touch of sadness or anger or many subtle variants, but the main force that keeps our energy low is simply fear. Anxiety. Stress. Being ill at ease. Call it whatever you want, fear is the glue that holds us to our illusions.
Freedom involves giving up our “death wish,” our dream of fear and suffering. Few people authentically do this, though we may pretend to. We are supremely resistant to accepting the power, joy, and pleasure that is our birthright, preferring the mild amusements, silent desperation, and secret yearnings of our materially obsessed world. This resistance is not only of the mind, it is very present and deeply stored within the body. We may fool ourselves and others, but our bodies are always telling us the truth, if we could but listen.
When these sort of energy events begin to occur, whether spontaneously, or because of diligent training and practice, it is always an important signpost on the evolutionary highway. The expression or form that the energy takes may vary greatly and depends on the ego fixation and the ratio of energy to resistance of the individual in this present time. Some people experience great pleasure or bliss, others may experience some confusion or other expression of the shadow side at first.
Energy free and strong enough to move the physical body spontaneously can heal and set you free! © 2006 Keith E. Hall. All rights reserved.
