Concentrating on this point sometimes leads to vibrating sensa-
tions or the feeling that something is jumping inside or a strong
sexual arousal. Abdominal breathing can cause an erection to re-
cede and allows for the concentration to continue without interrup-
tion. If you concentrate on this point too long however, it can open
the thrusting routes (or Kundalini), which leads to various side ef-
fects. If the energy succeeds in passing very quickly up through
the throat chakra and continues up to the top of the head to the
crown, where it spreads out sprinkler-like, showering down over
the practitioner, there will be very few, if any side effects. In fact if
you have managed to open all the channels, your whole system
will be nourished in the process.
Time is essential in all meditation. You cannot expect any re-
sults without putting in a great deal of effort. Remember that the
navel is the generator and every time you commence practicing
you have to start from this point. When you feel power has devel-
oped there (warmth, tightness, expansion, etc.), bring it down to
the second point, then down to the third.
