we are indeed following signals and going-with the particular phase, not fighting
it. If it’s a grounding, relaxation, exhaustion phase then we must give in and not try
to overwork ourselves and prop ourselves up on stimulants. Similarly the excitation
phase will demand extra exercise, breathing, hot baths and time in nature. That is
we must have a sober and respectful adjustment to whatever reality is presenting to
us in order to work-with metamorphosis.
I surmise that the trajectory and duration of an awakening is determined by
all the body systems and conditions, coupled with one’s life circumstances and
the specific work that kundalini was doing in the body, plus the nature of one’s
spiritual practice. By conditions I mean the strength, conductivity vs. friction and
reserves: strength of protein structures, strength and openness of cardiovascular
system, strength and development of the nervous system, immune strength,
degree of muscular spasticity, toxicity load, plaque/ama build up, liver efficiency,
glycogen stores, antioxidant supplies, mineral and enzyme reserves, plus hormone
and neurotransmitter resources.
The phases of metamorphosis cycle round roughly in an annual cycle following
the seasons, and solar-lunar gravitational tides. Over the years the cycles DO get
easier, or we become more conscious in our embrace of them. Things tend to get
less electrically “raw” also with time and once we are over the peak years it gets
much easier. We learn to learn and our resistance gets slowly worn down by ecstasy.
We learn to find solutions and through meta-adaptation we can face-into kundalini
without fear. “Consciousness” ceases to be a “problem.” The more people that do
this, the more we awaken as a collective organism, and thus the less likely we are to
commit global suicide through heightened sense-ability.
