doing energy work and wanting to be healthy is fine.. but has nothing to do with truth. there is the illusion that energy work clears blockages which is necessary for spiritual evolution. blockages are subconscious fears and habits that must be addressed. the best and fastest way to progress is to surrender and not associate with the body, mind, or emotions.
awakening kundalini is great, but that is just the first step. having a momentary glimpse is awesome.. but not the end.
You need to save your money, kid. Yogani's kundalini methods are more than sufficient. Internalize the above quote. Kundalini is no big deal. Chakras are more or less imaginary. A chakra is simply a place in your body where you repetitively focus your attention. You could have a knee chakra if you thought about your knee enough.
The ultimate result of astral body visualization is realizing the rainbow body. This is just a light show. True meditation is a process of letting go of illusory material and light bodies. You will never be satisfied looking here and looking there dear seeker. The ideal state of the yogi is perfectly balanced prana or chi. You do not want chi to dominate your forehead or any where else. When you see deep enough you will not find seeing.
quote:
“There are no two things as contemplation and contemplator, when fully contemplated, these teachings merge with the seeker; although when sought, the seeker himself cannot be found, thereupon the goal of the seeking is attained and the end of the search. At this point, there is nothing more to be sought, and no need to seek any of them.” –Book of the Great Liberation
Understand the Tantra, and kundalini is fundamental tantric, is about divesting you of your normal "self" structures, so that you can detach from your conventional reality. It is training in detachment. It also shows you that your intention controls the flow of chi in your body. It is an exercise in moving and controlling chi. You should intend that it be balanced evenly through the body after you are aware of your control.
What is missing from modern teaching is that you are not to detach from one prison cell and attach to another. Whether your cell is concrete or crystal or light doesn't matter; it's a prison for your mind.
You will only free your mind when you cease clinging to practices and results of practices. If you don't, in the final stage, you will remain attached, you will not be free, you will become disillusioned and turn away from truth.
Dear seeker, please understand that these practices are for awakening you to your true nature, a selfless, loving and altruistic person whose life is dedicated to the good of the world.
Keep in mind that kundalini practice is to introduce you to a deep state of relaxation where it is easier for you to release the mental knots and blocks that are at the heart of your seeking. Therefore, it is not finding that you need, but releasing. Kundalini tantra, and meditation is not always in synch. Yoga Tantra is preparatory to real meditation practice.
Attachment is the only evil, the only problem. Cling to nothing whatsoever and you will succeed. You will find what you seek.
HA!
