At times when I meditate as I watch my breath, I feel an energy rising from the base of the spine upward to the heart.
Expanding like ripples of water from a stone tossed in a pond, warmth emanates outward from the heart . What is it?
It seems to enlarge the heart and spreads outward in the chest, even down the arms and legs…up the throat…to the nasal area and forehead.
I continue to breathe in meditation and follow this warmth.
It may move to a soft pressure at the top of the head.
As I ground deeper, I let go, rooting more to the earth and rising up out of this solid base. The warmth in the heart expands even beyond the body, pulsing outward.
Respect this flow. Root down and rise up. Breathe. You cannot control it. It has a life of its own. It is the source of life. It is the kundalini shakti.
