Hello sexy_saint

Maybe that is the crux of the matter - you are here.

What is it you are supposed to do here? Yogani talks about a life of service as the natural counterpart to spiritual practices. Otherwise spiritual pursuits can be empty and meaningless.

What to do? Continue your meditation in safe doses, be kind, and serve others. Surrender all expectations and question your addictions. This process isn't only about you; there are no guaranteed outcomes.

Hi Sexy Saint,

It sounds like you have come a long way with your yoga practice. This experience is caused by kundalini reaching the crown chakra. As you say, the experience can be very enjoyable and even addictive. The connection between the root and the higher chakras (third eye and crown) is a naturally ecstatic one at this stage in the awakening. But it is not the end of the journey as you have noticed, so the question naturally arises, what is next?

The next stage on the path is to continue with Spinal Breathing Pranayama and meditation and to begin to test to see if you are ready to begin direct crown chakra practices. The guidelines for doing this are given in lessons 198 and 199.

It sounds like you already meet the pre-requisites for targeted crown chakra practices. It is a very beautiful stage in the journey and very blissful.

If you have not done so already I would also recommend beginning self inquiry practices. This is discussed in the Self Inquiry book and also in various lessons such as this one:

Self inquiry: from inspiration to realization

Once the crown is beginning to dissolve, the next stage will be the path back down to the heart, bringing about divine love and unity.

Good things are happening.

Christi

Hi Sexy Saint,

The feeling of the water drop in the crown is amrita (nectar) being produced. It can be quite intoxicating, but as you say, it is not self-realization. It is however a stage on the path to self-realization and is something to be cultivated and nurtured through practices. It has a lot to do with sex, as it is the manifestation of sexual essences in the higher centres, especially the crown, third eye and bindu chakras.

Both amrita and kundalini have a strong relationship with sexuality and sexual thought and at this stage, as you have noticed, there is a very direct connection.

For self-realization other practices are needed in addition to what you have been doing so far, as per my post above.

Dear SS,

I would recommend that you read the AYP lessons to give you perspective on what is happening to you and teach you good self-pacing /grounding options. It is important at this stage to gain understanding (and Wisdom!), I believe.

Dear SS,

Thank you for sharing your experience of rising kundalini to the crown chakra. Your experience is very beautiful and touching.

On the path to self-realization, there are three milestones:
1. The cultivation of awareness/witness/silence/stillness/ your Ishavara, coming with feelings of joy, hapiness, bliss, peace;
2. The awakening of Kundalini, and rising it to the crown, experienced as extatic conductivity in the body;
3. The experience of unity, enlightment, omnipresence, when the two components - the stillness and the Kundalini, or Shiva and Shakti - come together.

Read Yogani's lesson 35 for a more complete description of these stages:

http://www.aypsite.com/35.html

For many people in the western culture, the first experiences of the path are those of awareness, the witness, the stillness. For other people, like yourself, the first experiences are related to Kundalini awakening. In fact, you describe a classical ascension of Kundallini to the crown. No matter what the first experiences are, we all have eventually to cultivate both the Divine and Kundalini, Shiva and Shakti, before we get to their unity in self-realization.

You may want to continue your meditation practices, to cultivate the witness, the stillness, the Divine. As you progress, you will go deeper and deeper inside, and you will have insights/understandings of the way the mind functions, the relationship body-mind-Self, the nature of being, and so on. If you read the AYP lessons, you will get a good understanding of what you need to do.

As Christi mentioned, self-inquiry is a great technique in the third stage, to bring Shiva and Shakti together. Also, samyama is an amazing way to progress.

You are well on your way to the Divine home! Keep up with your practice!

SexySaint,

Don't be to harsh on yourself, you are young. You are here on this planet to enjoy and celebrate life and at the same you are developing your spiritual journey. It is not bad for your spiritual path to have orgasm. It takes time and practice, to develop inner strength. You received beautiful advises already, take your time to read and practise. That is all you need. Time.....it takes time......Ask questions to yourself in silence, observe your thoughts then you become more and more aware of who you are, and what you need.
Love your body ,love your Self.

Hi SexySaint,
I agree with Charliedog: Let go of judgements, and focus on practice (sadhana). Sexual energy is the creative force that should be preserve and cultivated. Read Yogani's lesson on Brahmacharya:

http://www.aypsite.com/T9.html

Then look up the Tantra Lessons, and follow their instructions. What is very hard at the beginning becomes natural and effortless with practice. Best wishes for you on the spiritual path!
