Undoing the knots feels so amazing!!!

[@arobersonable]

I thank God for you, Forrest. Everything you've described here has happened to me in this progression. Understanding what is exactly happening in the brain solidifies the experience and reminds me that I'm on track. I practice very often moving the energy before I start my kriyas. After several several months of this, I am finally repeating the rewards of dramatic expansion each and every time I meditate. These techniques do take time and practice, and doing them the RIGHT way is paramount.

Only when we surrender our heart to the God head, the source, higher self or supreme higher self is when the soul knots that have imprisoned us are untied. Thanks a lot Forrest ji.

[@hardstyleminded]

What exactly is a knot? What does it mean when the feeling of overwhelming energy is in the heart chakra? Where does such energy come from and what can be done with it? What is the purpose? Could I use it to heal others? Or is it a connection with the spirit?

[@Brittanyem]

I wonder if this knot is why ive developed this snake like lisp when I silently speak affirmations "outwardly" rather than internally lol 😳

[@arobersonable]

Remember the story about Ananda Mayi Ma having a satsang and one of her disciples was in the process of dying in the next room- Ma yelled out to her, "KEEP DOING YOUR OM JAPA!!"

Oh my goodness that's amazing! 🤩🤩🙏🙏

[@vsaitta]

Hola mis guruji! Gracias, thank you so very much for going over the three knots and kundalini again. You suggested looking for the experience of feeling and not sight was great advice. I remember the one time I experienced the roll up and I felt as though I was in outer space with infinite. I’m looking forward to experiencing this again.

[@ForrestKnutson]

Wonderful Susan! That's perfect! 🤩🤩🙏

[@HMALDANA]

Wow, beautiful account, Forrest! Awesome experience with your wife. I remember I also freaked out a little during my first Kundalini experience. It felt overwhelming! It is one thing to read about something, it's quite another to experience it. "What else is in there? What else is in there?", one starts wondering. Thanks for sharing! Blessings and blissings!

[@simplifyingspirituality]

Thank you! People on kundalini journey can feel so lonely and isolated because the spiritual experiences are so different from those of light. It is good to hear it coming from someone following a path, it all makes sense🙏🏼

[@ForrestKnutson]

Very true, thank you! 🙏

[@Mochi-fc6uy]

Curious..why do yogis and gurus change their prefessional or family life choices after getting enlightened. Like go out of a family setting and stop working etc.

[@ForrestKnutson]

In some cases the yogi can become overwhelmed because of his experience. However Lahiri Baba cautioned against this. That the Yogi was best to keep his householder life, continue in his work, continue with his family duties, and find some time to Hideaway everyday and meditate.

[@L_Explorateur]

I see the spiritual eye on méditation or when the mind wake up in morning....I have the body that make the subtle spinning or snake movement in méditation,but Never evolve anyway....that's make 6 years now i expérience this things everyday... What type of kriya have you make before you go to bed with the "screw spinning sensation" in coccyx ?

[@Scott-Ramseva]

The scriptures talk about how members in a Yogi’s family will be benefited by their practice or their enlightenment. Is this because of that close connection the yogi has with them? Similar to what happened to your wife? Also, the major difference between knots in The kriya world (besides the prereverse order) is that they are resting places of experience and not blockages as is they are commonly thought of?

[@monkkwok6725]

Forrest you are the MAN, thank you !!

[@athen33]

one time i was hanging out with a person i knew i shouldn’t be with and i got this crazy feeling of pain through my whole body, and both of my parents felt it as well. this confirms it thanks for your work brother

[@pavneetkaur4545]

Just amazing! Hopefully, I understand it correctly- after my kriyas nowadays when I finish and just sit with my eyes closed, I can see the waves of light going in front of me. Hopefully, it's the first knot. It goes on for some seconds which is very short and then disappear but it's a blissful experience. I am right or just assuming that it's the first knot Lahiri baba had described? Please let me know! Thank you and it feels as if you tailor made these videos at the exact time for everyone in need. lol! Love and gratitude! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@tsalmaveth4862]

Hello. You said some things that I can identify with and want to learn more about. In what book can I read about these knots? Thanks.

[@solarmoon33]

Hey quick question...does one have to be a kriyaban in order to practice OM japa or does it still have benefit as a stand-alone practice?

[@bricktea3645]

So what's the range of this connection between u and ur wife,is it limited to ur house or can it happen half way around the world?

[@SCRSggIE]

I was worried it was going to do damage at some points it was so uncomfortable, thanks so much for helping me understand ❤️

[@JoeBlogs000]

I started doing third eye meditation when I was quite young and at some stage I started noticing what I now realize are third eye knots! They’re really uncomfortable and they’ve plagued me ever since. I found I can rub my hand over my forehead to get rid of it if I need. Now when they happen I know I need Om Japa!

[@ForrestKnutson]

Wonderful, Joe!

[@dakotahsimonson631]

I was looking for these and I think my most prominent is when the inside of my body was vast which I feel blessed and blissful to experience it just felt like a open space with so much potential and even my face and head was disappearing it just was merging with every thing with eyes open at times . it felt like I was free? And now I still feel free 😮 i don't know how to explain this?

[@dakotahsimonson631]

Wait is that Sahmadi

[@arobersonable]

Now I know what that was duh!! I've had that corkscrew thing happen a lot at night- I can't stand it and feel the intense need to be in nature. It's like a knot that is tugging so tightly my legs are compelled to stretch out to their limits. Walking in the woods relieves that. Very strange!

[@ForrestKnutson]

Beautiful Amy! I'm so glad you have found a way to relieve the symptoms. Walking in the woods is perfect.🤗🙏

[@nickbrosnowski]

Thank you Forrest. I've been seeing the light rotate in the spiritual eye for many years and was wondering what that was.😊

[@ForrestKnutson]

Perfect! That's part of the 3rd knot experience, and it's quite deep. It means you're entering profound mental relaxation.

Oh Forrest, you strike again with perfect information presented perfectly. I had an experience several years ago while lieing in meditation that I was hesitant to label but it was the corkscrew effect, I think? I felt as if a very large snake was writhing in my abdomen. Is this what you are describing? Thank you!

Forrest, when I focus my attention on the medulla, I get pain. I have had this for about a year now. It's one reason I cant focus on that area. Any suggestions?

[@ForrestKnutson]

How does the pain manifest? What does it feel like? Is it accompanied by any physical tension? Are you feeling the back of the skull or are you in the center of the neck?

[@thecosmicechopodcast5677]

@@ForrestKnutson if I bring my awareness to the place you said I should feel at home, I get pressure, like it pools up in a spot and like a cracking almost. I did it for some time once and then put my finger on the ridge of the occipital bump on the top of the ridge and felt a soreness there. I never felt the home feeling, just like pain. I had an MRI done a while ago, and they said I had a narrowing in the top of the spine, so I wonder if this is why I feel that way.

[@ForrestKnutson]

@@thecosmicechopodcast5677 sometimes when there is an injury the subconscious and the Kundalini will pool their energy at that point in order to bring resources and attempt to heal. You may be experiencing that.

Thank you so much about the first knot at the spiritual eye. The mid of eye brows. I had the same experiences as yours. I couldn't speak to my better half and at one instance I just had to sit down hard. It vibrated real real hard . I couldn't even tell the people who were trying to help me up, as to what was happening to me. You answered my situation. Oddly trying shambhavi mudra helped a bit. Can't thank you enough for this video of yours.
