The Nembutsu and Kundalini
I know that the Kundalini is very different from Buddhism, but I wonder if it could be at all useful when trying to attain Samadhi when practicing the Nianfo/Nembutsu.
Years ago I had a Kundalini awakening, and so the energy rolls up and down my spine constantly. I know that it could be considered as a form of “self-power” if used to try to gain some spiritual merits. But I’m wondering if I could use my kundalini energy as a tool for concentration when thinking of Amitabha. I find myself doing spontaneous small kriyas that ultimately lead me to having a pinpointed concentration.
What do you guys think on this? Should I ignore the energy all together or should I continue to use it if it helps with my practice?
