The reason I ask is because when I saw the Reiki Tummo website I did think quitely to myself: "Are they really doing this?", and "can it possibly be safe?". Things like that, which many people must also be asking themselves.
I saw that after one weekend of attunements, the recipient has their entire shushumna cleared and purified of any knots, and their kundalini awakened and risen to the crown chakra. Is this right? My main concern was that people could be getting cleared before they are ready karmically to handle the energies involved, and the transformations that happen in consciousness, creating all sorts of difficult side effects and instabilities.
What do you think?

Hi Christi,
I have never had any Reiki Tummo attunements but I believe in a top down approach where Divine Light can help dissolve karma, and I also believe that the heart is the center.
These are my three reasons:
1) I met Jesus in 1988. I had a friend that was very religious and she invited me to go to the Victory Christain Center to see what it was all about. I thought she was a Jesus freak most of my life (we were in the same grade at school). But this time I decided to check it out. I attended some services on Sunday and saw people doing strange things like raising their hands in the air and praying fervently.. Then, one Wednesday night, the group (my friend and some others) decided to attend a night prayer session and then go spreading the word downtown in Edmonton. I went to the night prayer session.
This time, I decided to try to contact Jesus. I raised my right hand into the air and thought "Praise Jesus. Please come to visit me". Well, a bright white light appeared in my mind's eye and it became brighter and bigger until I could see the face of Jesus. He was smiling at me! The face descended to about 10 feet in front of me and became the full blown figure of Jesus. He had golden light streaming out from his body. He was wearing red and white robes. His power was immense. I felt like he had all the power in the universe and that I was just little pin prick of light. I mean, I was awestruck by the power that Jesus has (or maybe God). I know that there is enough power there to create universes. Just unbelievable power.
Jesus said to me "You are saved.". After that I could not move as I sat in the bench. I had waves of energy pulsing from my head to my toes. I was totally frozen. I had tears streaming down my eyes. This lasted for about 40 minutes. Finally, it let up and I could move again.
Since then, whenever I ask for "Love and Protection from God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit" I get waves of pleasing tingles going through my body.
I'm not entirely sure, but I think this experience may have been some kind of attunement.
2)The following Sunday, I went to a service again with my friend at the Victory Christian Center. When I walked in the auditorium, I could see a ball of light in the upper left of the auditorium. It had two little wings of light, one on each side of it. It was shooting beams of light down at some of the people. After the beam of light touched the person, two little wings of light appeared on the person's head. The pastor started welcoming people and presented the topic for the sermon which was "The Holy Ghost". Was that the Holy Ghost that I was seeing?
In the middle of the sermon, everyone was to stand, hold hands and ask for a gift from the Holy Ghost. I participated. I held my friend's hand and her friend's hand on the other side. After a minute, I felt a tingle on the top of my head that sounded like a 'pop'. After that, it felt like someone had spilled honey or molasses on my head. I could feel this liquid slowly oozing down from the top of my head, down to my ears, lower jaws and to my throat. Then a voice said "You can now speak in tongues". So, I decided to try. It was like opening you mouth and sounds would come out but they weren't words I understood. Although, when I made the sounds, I could see a group of people standing in a lighted space in my mind's eye.
Was this an attunement?
3) About three months ago, using crystals, I practiced a kundalini chakra meditation which dissolved my crown into a pool of bright white liquid light which I then took down through my chakras to my root chakra. I kept the light just pouring in. It was very intense. My concentration was so intense that my back arched, breathing was almost non-existant and my spine stretched upwards. This awakened the snake and she started to rise. I just kept pouring in white light. Gradually the dark green snake got about 4 inches up the spine and it felt 100 times better than any orgasm I had ever had. I wanted so bad for the snake to keep rising to the crown. Slowly, it did rise. I was like a pillar of vibrating energy. The snake got to my crown chakra where it opened it's mouth wide and attached to the crown funnel-like pool of white liquid light at my crown. Meanwhile, I was watching this from about 3 feet back from my body. I let the snake feed for about 3 minutes and then I shut off the crown and the snake retreated back to the root. I was now back in my body and noticed that there was a tunnel of pastel rings up above my brow. I sat watching the tunnel for quite a while, tried to push myself through but no luck. After a while I quit looking up and brought my attention down to my heart area. That is when I saw a scene of 10 people (monks in brown robes) holding their hands upwards towards a cauldron with fire in it, that was floating in the air. The scene was so clear and sharp and I examined it for quite a while. It was like I was in another world. What this scene said to me is that there is something more in the heart chakra or lower body.
Since Jesus' message is "Love is the key", and the heart is the root of love, I have always tried to develop the heart chakra. When I read about Steve posts about Reiki Tummo, I went and bought Effendi's book and read it. It amazed me that the Tummo practice is very similar to the Kundalini meditation that I had been doing (number 3 as described above) but with a few variations. In Reiki Tummo, they take the snake out through the crown chakra to mix with divine energy above the head. The result is a shower of a mixture of divine energy and kundalini energy which then is absorbed back into the body, granting health, happiness and more energy.
I also did the Reiki Tummo grounding exercise and the earth (love her) shone her green light energy at me. It was wonderful. I also channel divine energy from above into the crown and through my hands. After doing this for a few days, the skin on my hands got moist and when I rubbed my palms together, the top layer of skin rolled up and fell off! Now the skin on the palms of my hands is very smooth. Channeling divine energy is so wonderful. You smile, surrender and relax, let divine energy flow into your head and through to your palms while focussing on your heart. There is no thinking, just intention. I sent this divine energy to Jesus last week, as an experiment (pointed my hands towards him) and I immediately received a strong flow of energy back, except this time it was large tingles and they went up and down my spine. I was kind of scared (not really), actually, because it was so localized in the spine area right down to the root. I shut that down after 3 minutes..
In my analysis, and after reading (yesterday) this book called "Kundalini - The flow of Eternal Power" , as taught by Yogi Bhajan, Ph.D by Shakti Parwha Kaur Khalsa", I've decided that perhaps it is true that very small amounts of the kundalini is always flowing through ida and pingala. I believe that even if you do clean out the sushumna, kundalini just doesn't all of a sudden start to rise through it. You either have to tempt her to rise with Shiva light, or by suspending your breath until you feel like you are going to suffocate and little balls of energy are released from your root and sex chakras, or by blocking the lower chakras as in Bhajan's Mul Bandh (root lock). This method consists of tightening the anus, sex organ and solar plexus all together, and holding your palms together above your head while foussing on the brow. When I do that, my head immediately gets hot and I sweat a lot so it does increase the kundalini energy to my head. But it is nothing like feeding the snake with Shiva light from an activated crown. The way to activate Shiva light is by activating your crown by focusing on it, meditating on it and making it rotate clockwise. When you activate your crown, divine energy pours into it from above. Or, as perhaps Yogi Bhajan might say, the pineal gland vibrates and secretes, causing radiance. The book also states "Imbalance in the area below the pineal gland upsets the pulsating radiance that regulates the pituitary gland. Since the pituitary gland regulates the rest of the glandular system, the entire body and mind go out of blance when the pineal is dormant." - page 106 Perhaps the problem with kundalini symptoms is that the pineal is dormant or not functioning as it should? Or perhaps there is no divine intervention or component to the development?
Some points about the Reiki Tummo teachings:
1) Kundalini will not flow much unless you have perfect posture. I agree because when I sit in perfect posture, the flames start to rise. Also, perfect posture makes it easy for vocal mantras or hissing breath's sound to carry up and stimulate the inside of the nasal cavity. Also, when you sit up perfectly straight, it is very easy to do the root lock.
2) Divine energy can clear blockages too! To me, it makes way more sense to clean the house out first using divine energy before inviting Shakti to come visit. Because, if she finds a mess, she will start housecleaning for you and perhaps she would rather be socializing with Shiva instead? This is the top down, then bottom up approach.
3) The heart is a big centre for me. I can see a hole universe in there. It is the bridge between the upper and lower chakras. The back of the heart chakra is also supposed to be the assemblage point (if you want to believe Castenada). If you use the heart to feel while gazing, the mind quiets down a lot. It is very hard to think when you are expressing or feeling heart chakra love.. In Reiki Tummo, the heart is the junction between divine energy and earth energy and it transmutes these two energies to build up the aura.
4) Although I continue with my mantra meditations and other practices, it is very refreshing to smile, relax, surrender, focus on the heart and let divine energy come through.
May divine light shine in you always!
