Are there any dangers?

Well I find with meditation just doing it, is the thing. Its a great `fixer` of us, all we need to do is keep doing it regulalrly. It is the vehicle for the spiritual journey, and it enables us to be clearer `humans` too. and now im going to stop using ` `s cause I hate it when others do LOL.
Just keep doing it dawn, dont think too much. Try to stop the thinking by noticing when your mind moves away from the focus of your meditation and when it does, gently but firmly bring it back.

I happened to be reading some of the Seth material (Jane Roberts) and one of the things he said about meditation was this:



"Meditation must be followed by action--and true meditation is action....it takes aggressive energy to send forth thoughts and feelings of peace. So your idea of aggression is completely wrong. Aggression is action, and the thoughts of peace radiated outward take aggression and joy and vitality."

Seth mentions peace as the subject of meditation but the focus could be anything of course.

For what it is worth. Food for thought perhaps?

it seems as if most people here are doing it and nothing negative is coming out of it. Everyone here talks positive about it. I'm wondering if the stories I was told are even true now.

So I guess my question is this: Can someone meditate and open themselves up to bad things? Christian leaders and such always taught me the kundalini spirit was a demon spirit. But no one here says anything awful about it on this forum. I'm beginning to feel as if I was brainwashed.

Do you pray? That is meditation. You have indeed been brainwashed.

If you consider mental clarity, focus, discipline, stress relief, good heath, and spiritual fortitude to be bad things then by all means avoid meditation. The only negative experience I have heard of involving meditation is when people try to forcefully awaken their kundalini energy too soon. Personallly I never experienced this but apparently some do.

The meditation isn't really a goal. It is to see the truth about yourself. That is a pure wholesome honest and truthful quest...

If 'dormant abilities' are there, they will become apparent as an aside, but the meditation is completely pure.

In Christian terms ... it's like allow God's love to come to you, and come to know yourself through pure honesty and trust in Him. (I ususlly don't speak in terms like that teehee).

That is what I'm afraid of, awakening my kundalini too soon. I want it to awaken on its own, so I'm assuming meditating is the way to do this. There are tons of videos on Youtube about chakra cleansing and grounding, and I figure I could do that too and still be 'safe.'

Yeah I was really too gung-ho these last few weeks cause I've ignored my spiritual gifts for so many years that I'm like 'come on out, let's get this thing going' (whatever this 'thing' is lol). And the end result is that I pushed open my third eye way too fast and not properly and was suffering with headaches for days, it was soooo bad it made me feel sick. I dispersed that energy evenly throughout my body and haven't really meditated too much since then, but no headaches at least.

Last night I was going to sleep and was focusing on my breathing, just to practice. And for a moment I started seeing those beautiful white energies that float around everywhere - so white and brilliant. Then they were gone.

Not afraid anymore, and not ignoring it anymore. I just smiled and closed my eyes and continued breathing and fell asleep.

I have never heard of someone awakening their kundalini by mistake. I wouldn't let that idea stop you from exploring meditation. Also keep in mind that there are many different meditation techniques. If one is causing you trouble find another. You will find something that works for you.

Okay I will. There are so many techniques (on youtube) about awakening kundalini and I don't wanna specifically do that, I would rather just meditate for the sake of meditating, cleanse chakras, grounding, etc for my overall health and well-being, and if kundalini rises then it won't be because I forced it somehow.
