con-fusion

kaiyafuson — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 22:14:27 GMT

Con - against Fusion - merging http://kaiya.podbean.com/# I have lived with 'confusions' in my awareness, for which I have somewhat effectively medicated myself with understanding. It has been incomplete. I hear so much. It rains in like a tickertape of thoughts, mostly monotone... from a whole layer of awareness that seems to be... you. the people around me. Yet very aware versions of ya'll, seeing and thinking and recognizing things I cannot. Hearing my thoughts. Here is my emerging model of understanding. the Hawaiians understand both a higher, and a lower self. WE live and grow in the middle mostly, and have both layers in relation to ourselves. I believe this as wavelengths, and energy fields. There is an 'octave', a range of energy that extends from one wavelength to the wavelength twice as long...along with the waves in between, and the relationshiops between themn... this corresponds to a musical 'octave' from one note to the next higher note of the same 'letter'. C to C. then there is a whole range below this, down to HALF the original wavelength... and a whole range above this up to TWICE the higher wavelength. By comparison, pianos have over seven octaves. So I believe that the range we are most attuned in, with the traditional hive senses, is the middle self. We are learnging to harness the 'lower' self, and integtate its strengths, and we are learning to be guided by the 'higher' self, and integrate its strengths. Thie 'higher' self is, in my understanding, not 'above ' us, but a higher WAVELENGTH. the actual energy is, and has always been, within us. the challenge is to bridge it so clearly that we are functioning with it, rather than amidst confusion. con fusion, the experience of forces pushing against each other, rather than learning to merge, and harmonize. My sense, my intuitivon, is tis. My chin chakra, energy center, wildflower... seems to function as a translator. If I op[ened all the receptors at once, I'd go nuts. I have tyried this, or rather, I have tried opening much more than I had before, and it really is overwhelming. But this series of steps did enable me to open MORE, and learn to channel energy through my chin. The chin 'translates it into more palatable pieces. my balance? I get this tickertape of thboughts that my own essence has somehow selectyed, or my guidance has... for me to be aware of. It often involves very insightful glances into other peopole. I overhear YOUR thoughts. It isn't an open door scenerio. I can't CHOOSE to, and I can barely choose NOT to. But when it comes through, I get repeated examples that it is in fact the real deal. Yet many of the 'thoughts' I hear are very very mean. I had SUCH a difficult time with this, constantly overhearing nasty statements amidst confusion.. the warst thoughts and feelings realloy. My perception now, is that I was diving. I was learning to focus, to refocus my consciouslness into the octave BELOW, where more primal, survival thoughts and feelings live. It isn't that this is a evil or even horrible vib ration. It isn't directly less evolved, but it is heavily focused on the body. Along with the passions and emotions that are most challenging to cinorporate. they are here for everyone, I just somehow got 'stuck'. and it is almost as if my middle self trying to be a very good person self, got focused on the lower self, so I began taking an aweful lot of 'hits' energy meanness that I presume most people mostly ignore. then there is the higher range. It is easy to be there sometimes, but con fusion still comes in. Because how on earth can this person who just said that very mean thing and threw a fit... actually an Angel? because we are all divine, and we all focus a greater awareenss of divine connection in this higher self within us... and we are all learning to integrate the body centered life and thoughts we are...l with this more eternally aware self. In the grand scheme of things, it isn't hell. It is karma, it is the process of learning to integrate divergent awareness and experience within one life. that is the magic of this body, this self, this existence.

Orange Root

kaiyafuson — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 20:10:06 GMT

If you meditate on it, you'll realize that this distribution, this 'tuning' of the chakras leaves a red root, and a 'yellow' heart. I have found after about two years of working with this approach, that it is possible to change the natural color of the chakras, within a range of influence. the results are... interesting. With the red root, and the yellow heart, I find that the love is fiercer and raw. The love that tears things down because it is time to change them. the love that will end relationships, jobs and homes because love knows it has a clearer place to live and thrive. Love always does this, but with a consciously yellow heart, it seems to be... more raw and fierce. After a while of working like this, I am more consistently tuning my root to orange, and my heart then becomes green. I do not believe there is a 'fixed' color for each chakra. with the standard new age way of putting the root as red, and the heart as green, the distribution is stretched out. In my experience this has functioned to SLOW THINGS DOWN. As we all learn about the chakras as a culture, it has been appropriate to keep it with breaks on so to speak. When you allow this shift... it flows more freely. with the root orange, some interesting things happen. first of all, to be raw about it... there is a desire to leave 'fucking' It isn't a judgement, its a vibration. The higher fibe (higher doesn't equal beetter, just higher frequency) changes things. so the result has been mixed. For periods my sex life has shut down almost completely. and then when it turns on, it is full of much more intense orgasms, that come from much LESS intense 'work'. Namely, less is more. By being intune with more subtle vibrations, the energy body is able to let more energy in, and out. Its worth it : ) It does require you to be willing to abstain from sex for periods however, becuase the changes can get a little wild. basically, be gentle. meditate with the color orange in the root, and an orange yellow 'fire' in the pelvis. Much Love

Awakening Dreams

kaiyafuson — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 12:18:50 GMT

years ago I moved into my grandparents house when they left. It wasn't exactly an inheritance, but it was indeed a gift. A refuge, a side door out of the corporate world, and expectations. I sat and meditated for nine months. Over the past decade, I have had a recurring dream, that I inherit that house, and go through this... rather obvious door, that I somehow never managed to enter. an incredible space opens, huge, expansive, dilapitated. it needs work, but it offers space to create my true dreams. what I need is right here with me...Yesterday I recorded a new flow in a giant, dilapitated, mostly empty, barn. It is lovely, a true expression of my soul. http://kaiya.podbean.com

Shakti Flow Sex and Flowers

kaiyafuson — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 18:42:18 GMT

As we say goodbye to michael jackson, I think its opportune to look into how our pranic awakening gets confused with sexuality, and how they can both influence and bless each other. Even the roots of the Indian chakra system seem to have handed us this idea that the pelvis chakra is the 'sexual' chakra. bullshit. it is INTIMACY, a very powerful expression of which is sexual. raise the energy, and it becomes quite clear that this is pura vida, prana, intense life itself (one expresssion of which is sexual). I'll go so far as to suggest, if you cannot raise the energy to your heart STOP. This is your system saying NO, and sexual orgasm under such circumstances is consistently draining in my experience. Once you dolearn to raise it, well it is no longer a desperate feeling to release, the energy has found a new way to flow. from this vantage orgasm can be much more powerful, and yet it is no longer insistent. from this balance, it is also wonderful to simply allow calm, and the feeling of fullness to come into the body, breathing the prana into every cell. when shakti flows powerfully, the pelvis chakra activates often. I went through a lot of confusion thinking this was always arousal. it isn't, its just flow. EVERYONe can connect in a way that activates the second chakrachildreen and octagenarians, if we imagine its always a 'sexual' arousal, the genitals will respond, and a lot of confusion, shame and fear result. GET IT INTO YOUR HEART before going further. its really wonderful, maturing, and transformational. There are several ways to do this. If the arousal is demanding, and somewhat uncomfortable, I suggest focusing on the navel, balanced by the third eye. get them both activated with focus and intent, while the pelivs churns. then feel the energy move up once it is in the stomach, it is easier to raise it further once this step has been taken. this 'chord' is a very strong way to direct the flow when it is demanding, and confusing. If it is a more gentle feeling, focusing on the third eye balanced by the heart together will raise it . It gets more and more natural, and it is very empowering to mature into a relationship with prana that is no longer demanding. you never loose your sexuality, it just becomes a more humble, (more amazing) and graceful part of life.

Raising and Transforming 'sexual' energy

kaiyafuson — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 15:53:57 GMT

thank you for your great posts! Its REALLY important to change this confusion of 'sexual energy'. Indeed, as we say goodbye to michael jackson, I think its doubly important. Even the roots of the Indian chakra system seem to have handed us this idea that the pelvis chakra is the 'sexual' chakra. bullshit. it is INTIMACY, a very powerful expression of which is sexual. but as mani says, raise the energy, and it becomes quite clear that this is pura vida, prana, intense life itself (one expresssion of which is sexual). I'll go so far as to suggest, if you cannot raise the energy to your heart STOP. This is your system saying NO, and sexual orgasm under such circumstances is consistently draining in my experience.

Moon Casting

kaiyafuson — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 18:31:54 GMT

two new flows, 'opening' and 'eye of the storm' I pray with both of them, meaning I'll chant the chorus, and flow out the words inbetween. thus each time I pray is different, but has the common anchor. I'm usually suprised people don't 'get' how deep and difficult it is to do this. But its so much fun, and so true and liberating, I keep going anyway : ) http://kaiya.podbean.com/ Love to hear from ya'll on them. Much Love

I recently resolved an old drive to flow with music by choosing to record some every moon cycle and post in rhythm with the Moon. Its not a song really, its a Lfow. I use the Chorus to center and focus the prayer, and let spirit sing through my heart.

spiritual dominance

kaiyafuson — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 12:58:27 GMT

I feel the need to be clearer. I don't want to embody what I'm criticizing here, and at the same time Its important for me to assert this. I find the 'break the ego down for you' approach to be very abusive. It is designed specifically to 'wash' people clear, so they can take in the energy of a guru. this presumes that they are filthy as they are, and only the teacher can clean them, and that this person is the best one to fill them back up because they are more divine. this thread began with coyote sharing HIS OWN guidance, and mr yogi saying 'this is the wrong guidance'. THAT is abusive. it seems subtle, but it essentially communicates that he shouldn't trust himself. (I, rather than trust themselves 'because they are not ready'. A child is ready to learn how to trust themselves. the insidious nature, is that once someone has been 'cleared' in this way, they feel very clearly that they should help others 'clear' in the same fasion. they see the ego game they were subjected to everywhere. There is some medicine in this, and a lot of misuse. for some people, it may be the best medicine. but it is not designed to elevate everyone. I really want to make that clear. yogi maden even said it, he's only searching for the select few..., (despite having 34534r friends). these few are 'elevated' in a paradigm that needs peons. that is what happened in India. I am grateful, deeply grateful, for the gifts of yoga. and I'm also aware that it has been, for millenia, an elite practice of a caste system that KEPT the lower classes down, at all costs. they were not allowed to be anything other than the lower classes, by birth. and they played the role of feeding the upper classes their spiritual energy. as the practices comes to america, we have the opportunity to be part of a transformation, where their wisdoms and gifts of learning to feel, to balance, to breathe, and to explore both physically and spiritually are freed to the world, and we discard the klipatch, the husk, the patterns of dominance that were perhaps necessary to keep the fire burning through ages where culture could not afford to support many people who didn't work to create shelter and food.... but are not relevant to our present age. Now is different. we are more in touch with our eternal selves. we can draw on ancient wisdom easily and naturally. most of us are highly literate, and we have it available to create a world without war. we begin, by removing the need to dominate each other. knowledge is never more important than love. learn, accept teachers. but do not surrender personal divine guidance as the ultimate root. teachers are part of divinity, and each of us is always divine. the same balance on excess, the same stability that highly revered teachers provide, can be replaced by something much more dynamic and fun. spiriutal collaboration. we balance eeach other. thje only prerequisite for participating at the lowest and highest levels, is that we honor and respect the divinity already present in everyone. no level of consciousness can be embodied that exempts any of us from being humbled by a child, or a bird.

Fear of Change

kaiyafuson — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 21:50:59 GMT

I find that at a certain point in my 'evolution' I passed my teachers... and found children speaking the truths I needed to hear, or the checkout clerk... or a sign post had the words that spoke into my thoughts, and I found my eyes focusing on them without real-eyesing why. Now is the age of the spirit that imbues us all. everyone must be able to discern whether or not a truth resonates with you, or not. the fear of change often manifests physically as pain. the conscious mind believes it would love to do away with the pain... while subconsciously we are choosing to continue to experience it rather than go further. When I first opened my crown, I can remember feeling my awareness shift between my pure lighted crown, and all the lower chakras. it was like the lower were screaming 'don't let in all this light!'. yet it felt so divine, I did. It awakened boatloads of fear. everything felt sexually charged, violent... everything seemed to be dying... it is these feelings that loom beneith and behind the change. While the pains may seem unendurable, they are often far preferable to facing the ego death, facing a wild prana flow which seems to want sex everywhere, facing repressed anger that manifests as rage that drives people to kill, or commit suicide. And yet it is opening to the divine that also washes these feelings clean, and allows us to start anew. I don't share these things to scare, I share them because they are there, and it is only through awareness, and humility, and the surredner to fierce love, that we can learn to move through them. while I honor the many 'teachers along my path, ultimately it is the friendships, the company, and the unconditional love of others that brings me through. living love, prana, chi, is everywhere. the 'answers' are everywhere. We choose what we trust, even if we are choosin to turn over our power to another person, that was our choice to begin with. A Dine Peyote church guide taught me that. He expressed four contradictory ideas to me within an hour, each with fierce assertion. then laugh. the lesson? I couldn't just trust 'him'. Because he was contradicting himself. Whatever I choose to trust. Is me.

Musical Theory, in Energy

kaiyafuson — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 15:48:09 GMT

oh my goodness pieces after pieces. I want to assert the twelve chakra set within this seven model. I first found it in 'The ancient secret of the flower of life'. He just puts it out there... and then moves on to other ideas. he says the two sets do not work together. I believe they can... with a minor shift. how do they fit together? well the same way music does. in music you are only using seven of twelve notes at a time (in most cases, jazz plays around a bit more). Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, (Do) the last do is the thirteenth note in the twelve, the same note as the first do, but at twice the wavelength. basically, you take the twelve, and start at any one of them. Do Root skip pelvis Re navel skip solar plexus Mi heart Fa lungs skip throat Sol chin skip nosetip La eyebrow skip forehead Ti top of head (Do) above head (return) Same pattern for every key start at a different center same pattern in the chakras all the white notes on a piano are one 'key' of music - C. They are like the seven chakras (with a little shift). the black keys expand the set to twelve and EACH of the twelve has their own 'key' based on the above pattern... seven notes... just like the seven chakras. So the point is, if you follow the same cycle of changes BUT START AT DIFFERENT CHAKRAS, we can share realities but not step on each others toes so to speak. and in the same vein, the new age movement can all exist within one 'set' but other sets are alive and 'working for other people cultures, even other beings... right here under our awareness. And like in music, there isn't ONE right way... but there are patterns that work, and patterns that do not work very well. this approach helps give insight into how, and why, there are so many 'different' systems of chakras. In music, these systems do not compete, they just exist. a Jazz musician will say ' play this rhythm in C major...' or 'play this rhythm in F# minor' they are supposed to know how to play more than one. they may LIKE one key more than another, but it would be silly to say this one is right, and the other isn't even real. but you CAN say that this or that pattern is 'dissonant'. They almost never play three notes i a row! But the present new age chakra set DOES play three in a row! root, pelvis navel now if you look at the way we use chakras, right now, its kind of like pecking at one note at a time, even holding it for quite a while in meditation. If you played music this way, holding one note for ten minutes, then the next... well it would be hard to 'hear' that anything is off... within this approach, its hard to discover the flow between them. I'm suggesting, if you look at the pattern I layed out above, that the set we are using IS NOT actually a 'real' set. its just almost a set, it is actually a dissonant set, with an energetic kink, that is meant to keep us pecking, rather than playing music. because the flow is out of balance... we never get to open the groove, and very little energy will flow... as we begin to learn. it is like kindergarten, training wheels. the way to change it? access the chin, turn OFF the second chakra (put it on idle, by intent). then START with the chin! Do Chin skip nosetip Re Eyebrow skip forehead MI Crown Fa Root (startover) SKIP PELVIS! Sol Navel skip solar plexus La Heart skip lungs Ti Throat DO! If you 'played' music with the present set... root, PELVIS, navel heart lungs eyebrow crown.... IT WOULD SOUND DISSONANT. that is why we just bumble around and mostly treat them one at a time. If you did that with notes on a piano they'd still make a sound... but if you sped it up... the sound would be 'off'. The point is to PREVENT kundalini from activating! (while introducing the chakras that can stabilize shushumni flow when the 'students' are ready.) I'll go all out and say I am being taught this mostly at night, woken and given small lessons

kaiyafuson — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 17:56:30 GMT

Say we have a challenge in the 'second' chakra... Well its balance is the nose tip (which can be simplified down to 'guidance'), and we can add the lungs ('creative love' in my experience), or the heart, to create major and minor chords respectively. So if we are feeilng blocked in experessing love.. we can tune to the major chord of the pelvis, where the nosetipe balances our intimacy.. we surrender to guidance on HOW to feel balanced intimately, and then we create a way of loving that works to express it... if I feel my boundaries are too confused, i go into a minor chord of the pelivs, pelivs nosetip heart... which enables me to share unconditional love with whomever kufe brings me, yet dampens the energy over all, thanks to the minor chord relationship..l; and we can feel this happening... then we can use the pelvis as a blance to the throat... and have a whole new relationship to it... even adding the forehead (extra dimensional vision) or the third eye... to make a majro or minor chord (which seem to hieghten, or dampen the energies, respectively... You can also go into the 'key' of the third eye... and use its balance... the heart Then the pelivs becomes the expression (the third in music theory)... and yet another relationship opens... All enabling a wide range of feeling emotion, CHANGING that feeling, and bringing up blockages... where they can be transmutined, freeing space, to play

We are not in our bodies yet. We have been travelling to them for aeons. Little waves of us have reached, and connected, and continue to gather a deeper sacred love... here. I speak from deep within my pineal gland, from where I see... myself coming. I called myself here aeons ago, by seeing what I have chosen to become. A mating of ways, gaiaded by vision, what we have called Inner. In to it aeon... we enter ourselves, and allow our understanding of self to be alive within our body, for this is what we have chosen to be. Gaiaded by Loving Synchronicity, we surrender our memory with each life, that we may learn this much more about what it is to be hue man, to live and breathe within Gaia. Tara Earth how many more names have there been, and will there be? for US It is this that I choose to be, by seeing it. In telling you, and asking you to see the visions of my imagination, I ask you to help me be real in these changing tides. And if you should choose to come closer, once upon a time, perhaps we shall learn to dance, and make love. Please allow our understanding of making love to begin with the simple act of learning how to see, what each of us is choosing to become. Surrender preconceptions about how and when and what we are, and thus the rules of the rhythms of a dance we began to learn through remote control of these bodies, as we have become the energy of sight that enables angels from distant stars to see through what we have called space, each in their own way, and make love here. Love that becomes us. The Love that we are. And in this collision of ways, pain and rage have ruled. Reverberations, each trying to hold the ocean still. And in thee collisions, we have been innoculated. An innoculation of love, that has been short. The past several thousand years of hue-man-ity have been a vast lesson in what not to do. and the sparks and quiet flames of the new dance have been protected by the klipatch of each race. These husks are what we have called our cultures and religions. It is to the birthing flame of the dawning way, that I offer my skins of many lifetimes. Please teach me how to surrender, and to stand with grace. With deep respect for the incredible gift of this life. Please teach me to stand.

Angel Music and Inner Chi (from chakra tribe)

kaiyafuson — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 17:37:15 GMT

Last Night I had a clear meditation in which Angels asked me to make a disclaimer on this tribe. Now I presume that for some of you that makes total sense, and for others that sounds fishy or even just plain ridiculous. And that is why I'm writting this. For the past year I have been taught new layers to using old energy centers. I spent almost eight years reading, practicing, studying and exploring with books, excellent yoga and energy healing teachers, and divine guidance. And then a year ago it took off, and I began getting inspirations and guidance that go beyond anything a human being has taught me. I have been sharing a lot of that on this tribe. So in my meditation I was essentially ordered to make this clearer. I have increasing faith in what I'm learning and sharing. And it is important to be clear about where it is coming from. The foundation is simple. There are four pages in the book the ancient secret of the flower of life volume !! that discuss the thirteen chakra system, with twelve in the body and one above the crown. It diagrams notes beside each chakra, and then moves on to a wide variety of other topics. the system ws given to the author in meditation. He states that it is a 'different' system than the traditional one from india. I received an image of a three d shape that I will post here, while reading the section, and working as an energy healer and yoga teacher at a center in Berkeley. By meditating on the image with the written system, and my knoweledge and love of music/musical chord progressions... I began learning about an expanded and elegant way to make music with our energy system. It shows e how the systems are not different, they just need to be bridged. I'm learning how to do that well. I began to get visions guiding me to continue this exploration. Night by night I went deeper. And I've shared most of the path on tribe, and in my blog. this approach offers ways to read energy systems, clear confusions and dissonance, tune them, rebalance them and then create in ways that go beyond health, into explorations of consciousness and joy. People have come here asking questions about chakra meaning, health, and balance, and the system I'm learning has provided simple and hopefully clear and helpful insight. What I'm sharing is not commonly established. In fact, I'm trying to commonly establisxh it here. I grew up loving the smurphs, Star wars, Bruce springsteen Axel Rose, Sinead O'Conner and Tori Amos. I was raised in an academic town, lived and worked in ny city and explored the country for the past five years while learning from healers, artists, musicians, yogis, shamans angels and explorers of many ways. I'm an indigo child of this culture, with passion for liberating myself and the world I came to help rebirth. I'm not trying to be a guru, an egoist, or any 'thing' really. This is my calling. I believe we can create a world where we learn and pray together without spiritual dominance. That is what inspires me most, to explore ancient ways and nurture them into something beyond their roots, with much more autonomy and freedom through collaboration. This is an invitation for criticism, and hopefully, *more* collaboration. peace.

We are Home

kaiyafuson — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 17:59:14 GMT

Yesterday we shared a sweat lodge. I carried the stones, and walked barefoot in the snow. Now this is ultimately not that big a deal I suppose. You stand there and feel the 'cold' and keep saying 'this is just energy this is just energy' and if the commitment is pure... it seems... (for reasons that are loving and prayerful, humble with the earth) then it works, and eventually this trancelike space is reached where it isn't that difficult, and there isn't much resistance. It isn't cold. It is love flowing into my feet. And in the prayer I felt myself choosing to come to this planet. I felt the terror of the cold, the depths of hollow space that were so FAR from the sun.

Chakra Chords

kaiyafuson — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 15:52:43 GMT

This may sound complicated... but once you get the hang of it it isn't actually all that bad... and it is very worth learning. I've been working with twelve chakras. I realize this may seem overwhelming... afterall, just accepting that the chakras everyone talks about are real... is a leap at first. Adding more can seem a bit chaotic. Thing is, they really are available to work with, and doing things like... carefully turning down a specific chakra... is a lot easier if you use the whole set. start at your tail Tail Pelvis Navel Solar Plexus Heart Lungs Throat Chin Nosetip Eyebrow Forehead Crown These are spaced the same distance apart... the distance of our nosetip to chin - same as the distance betwen both eyes - and is the same distance between all the chakras. It seems to be true for everyone I've worked with. So take any chakra that seems 'out of balance'... and count eight up from it (the starting 'home' chakra is 1). If you get to the crown, just continue at the tail and keep going up (so the eigth up from the heart is the crown, and the eight up from the eyebrow is the heart...) Balance these two chakras. Put one hand on each, and use your intention to get them in harmony. Pay attention to any other strong feelings you are having in your system, and consciously let them go. For these moments, the two chakras in question are the only ones that matter. The principal behind this is a lot like in acupuncture... if something in one place in the body is out of balance, the actual place to bring it back into to balance may be elsewhere. With the chakras... it is likely that there is an imbalance in an undiscolsed area. it doesn't rise to the surface until the harmony between these two points is focused on. It is likely that you'll get good enough at this, that as the mind focuses on the energetic 'chord' (chord between the chakras... AND chord like in music) made between these two chakras... your whole body will shake as you let go of whatever is creating the initial imbalance. It feels quite good : ) The reason this works has a lot to do with music theory. Every note in music vibrates really well with certain notes, and sounds dissonant with others. These two chakras resonate at rates that are in harmony, just like the basic structure of a musical chord. Now to really get into your question... There is a lot more you can add in using this approach, like including a third chakra (the fifth to turn the energy up, the fourth to turn it down... the foundation is to tune our instrument (our body), and that starts with the two chakras I've illustrated. Once you get them down... you can add in the changes. This is a good way to get started. For those interested... this is basically creating a 'power chord' like punk rock musicians use. It is a very strong resonance, and is good for cutting through the chatter, and asserting the energy YOU are trying to create in your own body. If you count the fifth up and use these three, you make a major chord. This will turn your whole bodies energy UP, if you are ready to handle it. The fourth up, included with the 1 and the 8... will make a 'minor' chord. and will turn your whole bodies energy down. But to just calm down one chakra... I've found the initial balancing is enough. Peace

For a while I have been receiving Ultra cool Visions about how to .... wait let me slow down. for a while I have been receiving ultra cool visions about dynamic worshipful communities, that draw upon the sacred and mystical arts of many cultures. Its so vivid I can breathe it. This is partly because I'm not seeing the world around me as much... so the visions I have inside are just... energetically louder to me. Turn up the valume, the volume begins to notice me, and talk with me more. The model we have, of one dude or dudette guiding a whole room, is rather restrictive. It is tight, too tight, and has been widespread of necessity, to keep things organized. What I'm seeing are large rooms full of peeps practicing in different ways... all together. Working with simple wireless headphones and sets to allow different guides to 'talk' all throughout the room, without having too much noise. Then a main set of music going, drumming is usually my first instinct... this allows different styles of yoga, dancing, some tai chi, greakdancing, capoera, and acrobats, all to work together, all amplifying the same vibe. I normally think of this as the GaiaDance, the rhythms of many practices working together. In my eye, it is essential. We are opening so much energy... so much chi... that we HAVE to learn to channel it, or we'll blow our circuits. maybe that isn't true, perhaps its fine to keep it on low volume... but once we do begin turning it up, and expanding the range of our perception with the range of our abilities... it is necressary to explore the skill of harmonizing... harmonly (we shall respect any harm we do to each other...) while in the same, or close, physical and energetic vibrations. And the gifts of such advancement are many. First of all I believe we'll learn a lot faster, because we'll break out of the bottlenecks of dominance paradigms that give many 'teachers' a polarized increntive to NOT pass on their knowledge... because they become so identified as their role...that if they teach too much... they lose the ego hit of being the teacher. to change that, we have to learn so many different things that everyone practices changing roles, to the point where individuals still earn influence, but the clear distinctions between student and teacher turn from black and wheite, into many shades and tones of color. Around the edges of these explorations, in wide open spaces... are more private, semi private areas, where healing session, and more tendernes i ntimate work is done. So much opening creates massive psychological, spiritual changes, bringing up a lot of pain. Extreme forms of expression will bring repressed angers and hurt to the surface, sobs, confusions... and it will be crucial to develop support systems of peer mentors and caretakers to bring people into the energetic realms we are becoming capable of opening. Essentially, the music, the art, the performance of the future... HAS TO BE prayerformance. It isn't a choice, or a style. If an 'artist' doesn't care for the people who are inspired by their vibtrations and feelings... then they simply won't get very far, because they'll open confusion and everyone will have to shut down the vibe least it take over. We HAVE TO devlop increasingly sacred ways of inspring and holding love in the sapce, a commitment to the love t takes to not just 'rise' in iration.. but fall to. The expansion of the range of life we live within. Similarly, or in harmony with these changes... is the humility that the past has not fully practiced. the yogic tradition is a charaicature of a pattern that many traditions have followed, of what is, in my eye, faux humility based in abject humility 'to the master' well this is obviously bullshit... if I'm humble with the master... and learn and drow... then someobdy is going to treat ME like the master, and I get that ego hit of gravelling people on the floor. It is a very loaded deal though. I can feel it in my bones. At the price of this momentary burts of adulation, comes the strong connection with semi powerless beings, who give up theri autonomy in the face of... skill. really, that is what it boils down tol we areall divine. all of us. already. no degree of wisdom or skill in expression can change the fundementals. So sister and brothers, lets burn the past. lets do away with models that have us fughting each other to take mini step[s forward, with elaborate mechanisms for ego formation and preservation wrapped around each step we take. let us give priority to our shared fivinity... and learn to dance with each other with ever more elaborate color. Learn and keeplearning. see this, and keep seeing this. take in as much as we can and share of our hearts, when others are open and hungry for the love we are birthing I see rooms full of people. I see these rooms as the evolution of learning and family, hospitals and prayerformance. lets learn to dance. Namaste

Deeper Chakra work... from a 2012 thread

kaiyafuson — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 07:14:10 GMT

Re: A Story to Believe In Today, 11:11 PM So Nick... I have been asking the questions about the 'reality' of chakras... and that is what has taken me in this direction. My insight so far... is both extensive and simple... I'm writting my own long version, but the quick one is... they are as imaginary, and as real, as our bodies, and thoughts. Meaning our thoughts have energetic presence, as do our bodies. The differences are in form, but not in fundementals. Its all vibrating enrgchi. thought is vibration, matter is vibration... now how do they interact? My sense is that the chakra system was seeded in many places in various forms... much like carolyn myss researched. But they weren't seeded inthe same form! the different cultures throughout the world were given different keys to evolve within. Just like in music, the keys overlap... some use the same frequencies of others... but they all matter... in realtion to the home key. and to some cultures, energy centers wer/ARE dormant to others. In india, from where we get the most commonly used set, I believe they were given a very rigid (and if i'm right a purposefully handicapped) set of centers to deal with. they actually weren't all that real at first. That is part of why i believe the yogic system was so rigid... they were actually meditating the chakras in to existense withinthe collective subconscious. since being nurtured for so long, they are now present in a more tangible form, and it is time to work with themin much more dramatic ways... all part of the plan so to speak... we couldn't have done it earlier, they weren't anchored enough in the collective consciousness to connect well with the material plane. Basically, if you look at the indian system mapped over the 12 chakra system drunvalo got from Thoth... the Indian system is the 'key' the musical set of chakras... that begins with the navel, our center of power. in this set... all the other chakras are active, if you imagine which chakras would be active as refernced to standard old western musical 'key' progressions. the two differences? The root, and the chin. Basically the root wouldn't be active in the key of the navel, under this musical version i'm being taught... and the chin would be. There is almost no literature about the chin... except one statement i read again from drunvalo, quoting yogi bhagan as saying the chin is one of the most important chakras... and then nothing. Do a search on it, there isn't much out there. so my theory.. 'my my my' sorry, academic competative mindset speak... this idea is that the yogis were given the key of the navel, told to focus on 'raising their kundalini' from the root, and not focused on the chin. all the others are there. the reason i believe they wre told to do THAt ws so they would learn how to be in one kay... while eventually accessing another... through the root. its like being told about the next lesson as you begin... to have a sense of where you are going. when i first started meditating on chakras, i felt my heart... connected as it broke apart when i seperated from my lover. then i began feeling the other one's culminating in a massive and confusing activation with my crown... during which I 'felt' heard... my own friggin chakras screaming not to connect with the crown... that they couldn't handle it. THAT was something. But even then I don't remember feeling my root. i began to get the sense that it was all hooey, that they were obssesd with trying to feel it... but they couldn't. the problem, i believe, is that its all stuck in a physical linear metaphor of fluid dynamics. this ISN'T primarily fluid dynamics, its vibration. music lets us skip from chakra to chakra by changing frequency, but if every chakra is a change in frequency... then obviously a simple idea of a liquid floating through our systems is not adequate, and is somewhat detrimental, as a manner of understanding what is going on. in this key structure, that makes sense. it SHOULD be hard to tune to the root, if you already have the navel ANd the pelivs awake. in music, you never use three notes in a row, any key you are in will pass over one of the three. and if you wnat to be using a note you havne't been using, the approach has nothing to do with the key geometirallyl next to it, you have to change frequency structure... you have to change keys. If you tune to the 'key' of the root chakra, everything is different. you still use the heart... and the most powerful 'notes' chakras that are used most often... are the root, heart... AND THE CHIN. the chin and heart are common in both the key of the navel, and the key of the root. So by focusing on these chakras... you can let go of the others, and allow the shift. but this can't be done unless you use the chin. the chin balances the root.. and you can't balance the root if you don't even know the chin chakra is there.... so all these freaking monks meditating on their root couldn't really properly access it, ecase they didn't hae the 'key' so to speak. and they weren't given the key... because it was more imporant that they just imagine the chakras spinning and vibrating. the collective work they were doing was actually creating the energy centers within human form. we weren't ready to be moving around more... yet. When i did finally access my root, i went friggin nuts again, burst energy out my spnie so hard I cou;dn't think straight eat, or sleep for ages. I did what i was supposed to do for all I knew. I meditated on my root shooting energy up and out my crown to ' a lotus flower right above my head'... but for a while after that I COULDN'T FEEL ANY OF THEM! I just felt energy, and flows.. waves. if i'd known about the chin chakra, i could have balanced it and found myself in a new key... but i didn't, so I think I essentially let go of them almost altogether. my sense is that I went into a space that was akin to the 'light can be measured as a particle or a wave ' thing... while experiencing it as a wave, i couldn't feel the particles... and in this analogy the chakras are experienced within particle awareness this indicates to me that the chakras have their own kind of existence, not as ephemeral as thoughts, not as material as the body. Drunvalo doesn't write much about them, oddly enough, but he does say that the egpytian system clearly states the distance between the pupils as the sacred distance between ALL TWELVE, root up to crown. And that this is on the surface of the body, not speaking further about their exact physical presence. this is because... they DO NOT HAVE AN EXACT PHYSICAL PRESENCE, they have interfaces with the physical and the meridian system, but the interfaces exist to connect us with a system that is not actually all in a line. we experience the interface in a line... but the chakras themseles, i believe, exist in a ball that fits exactyl in a dodecahedron, ni a different dimension than our three d. (twelve balls fit perfectly around one ball... thirteen total. i have only begun to figure out what this does, its fucking awesome. Damnit, there is so much more to go into. to keep it smaller than i could... by working with the chakras in this way, my experience is that each chakra has the potential to vibrate at several pitches.. .so to speak. some note, different pitch. We begin, under the (handicapped?) Indian new age sytem... with one set of pitches... like twelve notes in a row on the piano... but if we access the crown and root, and begin working with other keys... I think we unlock the capacity to go up one octave AND DOWN ONE. three octaves in one body. The higher, and lower self. so rather than having chakras understood linearly going up forever, and linearly down... we really choose to work with twelve, period. a living instrument that expands, unfolds... unlocks... with keys. and to finally bring this full around, with gratitude for ya'll reading so much... i believe that it is in the higher octave, that we actually ignite our 'higher' self... WITHIN OUR BODY! if we 'only 'talk to' our higher self, its like we engage those frequenciews without 'owning them' so to speak. we can learn this way... but only within liits because our chakras don't learn to resonate them, and the potential they are. this higher self octave is, i believe, attuned more openly to cyrstal consciousness... and to keep it vibrating... we have to make damn sure we don't have lingering hatred fear or greed that will manifest in the world so muc more quickly.

Okay, I'll remind you why we are here... again.

kaiyafuson — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 20:30:13 GMT

I visualize that throughout existence... we little creator beings grow and learn and explore. And as we play and practice creating... we get stuck in little patterns where we end up trying to create a little past our means, and fall into frustration and blame... competing with other creator beings... and sometimes we get so lost in these clashes that we forget ourselves and get very very lost in meanness and resentment. I visualize that Gaia, an ancient being of many ways, invited us all here to learn how to agree again. She invited many ways, from many places, all of which were a little bit stuck. So we can learn how to dance again. And play music with each other. And i visualize that she offered us our bodies as gifts, and that the pain and hatred we have been playing out have been like the trials and lessons of cosmic relearning... that ultimately lead us to learn how to learn with and from each other.. whereas before we came we were a little stuck. That she gave some of us Yoga, to learn how to bring hatred and violence into stillness... and others music, to learn how to feel sadness and move it into joy and pray for rain. that she gave some of us the sweatlodge, to pray for terror to be brought back to the stones, and others the ability to swim in the deep ocean, so we could one day learn to speak with the dolphins again... still others learned to talk with the herbs, so we could know how to tend sickness, while another group learned to practie with knives, so we could fix the broken limbs we get when we dance too hard. That each of these gifts is sacred... and the only problem... is the same problem we had before we came... really. The belief that my gift is better than yours. and that you 'should' do what I tell you to do. and that we waste so much time on such drivel that we don't learn from each other. Which is the real point. I visualize that we are really only... now... completing the violence and dominance section of our curriculum, preparing to graduate to the learning how to levitate and dance in the sky while making love through the air... section. But she won't let us start the next set till we clean up our room. She told me so herself.

Our Time Has Begun

and you know it deep within TRUST LOVE

Declaration of Love

kaiyafuson — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 15:48:58 GMT

Signs of intense change are upon us. the mystery and magic at work defy all that I have witnessed, and can comp[rehend. The call of change is a call of death and rebirth. This is a time unlike any humans have known. These are the days when life as we know it ends. We are entering a new way, and the birth has begun. In the times ahead, when uncertainty dances with confusion, love may be born anew, and we shall face much disaster. The breathe of Gaia shall draw more deeply, and the winds of our world shll tear down what she chooses. Her storms and her tides shall rise, and reshape the land for a new time., moving us as she will. Her body shall quake, and open forces from the deep which deify every hope and fear. Her fires shall rise, and be unleashed to burn the old ways forever. And her Spirit shall make itself known within each of us. This is the dawn of an age of chaos and magic. It is beyond our control, and well within hers. Humans will die, through compassion and fierce justice for the imbalances we have come to embody. Many many opportunities will be given to rebegin. Do not fear. Place in your hearts the commitment to surrender yourself into this, our body. Act and share and do and be to call in a new way. Of balance, of love. Each time the fear rises, each time the ground of our lives ripples and shakes and takes more of itself back into the earth, choose life. Choose the capacity to be reborn yourself, with nothing more than what you need. Need your Desire. And all that you need shall be here. Open, please, to sharing love beyond the constraints of our practices, our patterns, our gospels, and our cultures. The way in which we have been raised is dying, and it is not meant to last much longer. Trust yourself. We are of her, and when we accept our body our spirit, as the love that breathes the new world into being, we become that. We will move where we need to be, when we need to, without confusion. We shall stay where we need to be, when we need to stay, and be open to doing and being and sharing all that we can to guide ourselves and each other into the deepest roots of love that we are prepared to become. Do this now. Surrender yourself now, in your mind, into your own heart, which is already, and has always been, of her essence. Allow the brain, and its daunting gifts to this world, to humble itself to the world herself, and the path of love shall open even deeper to you, and you shall make choices that are this much more of our very finest nature. For we are needed. Our love is the divinity of a new age. Be it. Choose this now. We are needed. If you are an artist, make your art in each moment. Begin now. We are asked to create love in the face of all fear and pain. If a storm tears down my home, i shall dance in the grass. If a fire burns down my store of food, I shall make music in the ashes. For that which we create in our souls is what shall surround us and those we love. We ripple through the minds of those who are changing by our side, and makes all more fully prepared to be born anew. Make love, and keep making love in the face of all fear. Begin now, and do not stop save to rest in joy. Joy for the love that we all long to be. And we are called, we are begged, to keep making it, to ease the changes. to live the prayer that the pains be loved into peace, the devestations sink back into the earth and the sands of time, and the flowers of our hearts shall sprout, and keep living long past what we can anticipate. See in the eyes of those you know, and those you watch, the choices they are making. Feel in your body the ripples of the vibrations that everyone creates. If beings are choosing fear, allow them to. If those you love choose fear, speak your peace, and walk away. For arguments shall not birth love, and anger breeds itself. If you encounter either, be them, feel them, and let them go. Make love, and keep making love, in all ways you can. Care for your body. Begin now. Now for this is your sacred gift and connection to this world. It is from the strength of the balance we create in our body, that our love may rise and ripple through our shared body Gaia. Gaia, I am Gaian. Protect me in the days and years ahead. Guide me to peace and safety, to open myself to your calling, and to align my dreams with yours. May I be joy and creative love in the face of whatever changes come. May the seeds I carry in the Garden of my heart \ sprout wherever they may grow well, of true balance, where humans remember our self, become anew... And learn to be reborn as Angels. Gaia, Into your hands I commend my spirit.

Darkness

kaiyafuson — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 19:54:20 GMT

Today I practiced blindfolded. Twas amazing to receive the extra perspective on my body, to recognize how often I actually do use my eyes to maintain alignment and balance.... to have to trust my feelings first. There were several thresholds to go through. Times when my mind actually threw a fit insisting it needed to see. But I got over it, and got into my body in some very good ways.

Yoga Class

kaiyafuson — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 18:05:39 GMT

I've been going deeper lately in my practice, and have explored ideas that I want to teach... only they are too dangerous to present in a typical class. So I'm going to explore them teaching... here. If anyone is up to it, try this out. Ask questions in private or as comments. Explore. Breathe. Breathe Breathe. How are you breathing naturally? What are your lungs doing, and how can you open to a sweeter breathe? In each moment, stay with what opens this brethe. If you can't breathe, back off. Back off. Back off. Find your edge. The area of balan e, of extension, tension, and tension, that opens you. So you can breathe. The best way to stay on your head for a long time, is to move. There are advantages to channelling all your weight into your arms, but to do this... you need to basically rest it all on your crown. First, get up there. Now, immediately after you get into the pose, no matter what you WANT to be doing.... stop. Where did you naturally gravitate first? Pause here. Are your legs bent? Is one knee bent and one straight? Just notice, don't change. The reaction to a new position, or even a seemingly familiar old position... is to act to avoid tightness. Be aware. I usually presume that my body needs to chill a sec before moving on. Before you change position, find the feeling in your body that feels best, and breathe it in. Breathe. Then, from this balance, and moving in a manner that preserves and een feeds this initial sweetness, move in relation to whatever feels most tense. Your neck feels sore? Try bending your head so your weight is as far back as possible, then slowly adusting so it comes down your fore head. Keep with your breathe. If it is shallow, let it be shallow, and be sure you feel the sweetness of it. This is the energy of motion, of thought, of feeling, in and out, all day long. As you challenge yourself, honor it for keeping you alive, and commit to learing to enjoy it. Bend your legs, one at a time. allow the bent one to use its own weight to stretch open the thigh, let it go further down, as it reaches for your butt. No strain. If you strain, it is 'wrong' back off, and refind your edge. Always aiming in the edge. When you first think that your neck is hurting too badly, and you might be doing irrepairable damage, KEEP GOING. This is the part I won't say in class. But its how I work, often, so how can I teach it if I don't even say it? You'll have to be very very good at discerning between true warning, and worry that creates itself. It would be so easy to hurt yourself. don't, its boring. simly adjust, slowly and consciously, in a manner that cvhange the tension that was screaming. Once you do, feel the area that takes in a new sweetness, and breathe it in. Repeat this process. How many ways can you move those legs? Can you pay tight attention to how they change the pressures on the neck, and spine? Feel the arms, and adjust, from an edge where they are doing as little as possible, to one where you are just on the edge of being ready to lift your head up, allowing only the forearms to maintain weight and balance. Explore. Come down consciously. One easy way to knoew you are past your edge, is if you fall. there is no cause for falling. Doesn't mean its embarassing to fall, just be aware that if you fall you are doing more than your body knows how to do. Again, find your edge, going over it prematurely is not a recipe for success. When you come down, have enough stregnth to come down gracefully. Feel the first placement of your body - just like when you went up - what is your body reaching to do first thingas you come down. I tend to go into child's pose, loose my head and neck foreward, and breathe deeply. Then, before you complete the rest of your self designed practicethat you will choose based on what your body needs, get on your back. place your hands on either side of the head, just above the ears. push your body up, so your head bends back up and over, and then allow weight to rest there. from this srong yet challenging head wheel... work on countering the pressures of the headstand, and open the neck to loosen. Breathe. If you feel any remaining tension in your neck, shoulders or skull, get into it. Your first priority is to feel how to feel into it. What can you do that will affect the area that is tense. Quiet any worry. The time after a seeming muscle pull is crucial. if you respond to it as 'pulled' than pulled it shall be. But what really happeed is it got opened, and the way you balance it after opening makes the difference between a week of pain, and an opening that you get to retain. Breathe slowly, and allow the sensations in the tension to dominate your attention. First ste is to feel the synchronicity with breateh. Second step s to stretch into that area, gently. I have sometimes found it necessary to go back into the pose that pulled me open, briefly. It feels counter intuitive, but it works. Do all tehse steps till you feel balanced. Then relax in savasana. Peace.

WildFlower Sessions

kaiyafuson — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 18:54:01 GMT

Coming off of three months retreat... and deep helaing... I am offering phone sessions to introduce you to your chakras in a whole new way. The sessions focus on just three chakras. One question, or intention, and a clear response that leaves you with a simple meditation to balance yourself in new awareness. Out of your question, we'll show you how to identify a pattern in your energy body that helps to make sense of tangled experience, and teaches you about the harmonics of lightning in your body. An intro session takes fifteen to twenty minutes. I'm charging a dollar a minute over paypal. I will always teach you as much as I can. If you are interested, reply with a number and a time that works well. WildFlowers are spinning flowers of light in our bodies. They are knwon in many cultures, and are commonly called chakras, from the yogic tradition of India. Spinning wheel of light. They balance, channel and communicate a wide range of energies in our bodies. Working remotely, I can tune in to them, and illuminate how they are influencing your life, and how you can influence them more consciously. If you're drawn to this, but balk at the money, we'll work something else out. I have several projects I need help with, including a webmaster - with ongoing work possible. I also have a couple of prayers I could use deep witnessing in, for which I'll trade ya. Finally, things are brewing up for us... if anyone is interested in an ongoing role as a business manager/assistant, please tell me. The three chakra reading will provide a focus and two stabalizing rhythms to help you hold changes alive in your body. It is also an excellent way to begin to understand what is going on in your energy field, and how we can effect it through intentional prayer.
