Kundalini doesn't leave me "light headed" or "high" feeling the way some Qigong or Tai Chi movements do.Grace Victoria Swannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06503682527620107990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817682567561164198.post-82869192580720895422010-03-25T17:19:11.256-05:002010-03-25T17:19:11.256-05:00c.f. generation and completion stages of Buddhist ...c.f. generation and completion stages of Buddhist TantraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817682567561164198.post-71366984424305759842010-03-25T16:04:33.633-05:002010-03-25T16:04:33.633-05:00@Ananael - not knowing very much about Qigong prac...@Ananael - not knowing very much about Qigong practices makes answering your questions a bit difficult. Perhaps the reason why I consider Kriya and Tantra Yoga to be the foundation of ritual magick is that it facilitates more than just energy working in the body - it also aids one in overcoming psychic barriers to spiritual evolution and to assume the godhead in one's body, not to mention to emulate spiritual union through sacred sexuality. So I would guess that there is more to these two yogic systems that lend themselves to assisting the magician in obtaining samadhi.Frater.Barrabbashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11689013897789072360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817682567561164198.post-10801889139451431532010-03-25T15:37:12.417-05:002010-03-25T15:37:12.417-05:00This sounds like an interesting set of practices. ...This sounds like an interesting set of practices. My main question would be whether they constitute "the key" to mastering ritual magick as you write above or simply "a key" to accomplishing the same.<br /><br />I ask because I agree with you that energy work is a vital part of magical practice, but most of my own ongoing work along those lines is based on combining western ritual practices with Qigong techniques rather than Kundalini Yoga. Do you believe that the Kundalini Yoga approach is more effective, and if so, why?Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.com
