Whats The Big Deal About FRANK BACON | The Seven Chakras & Emotions | Old Wisdom POST By DEV Guru
CAPRICORN, CAPRICORNE, CAPRICORNUS is the constellation the Goat, which lies in the southern hemisphere near Sagittarius. The tenth sign of the zodiac, it is the day house of Saturn, the exaltation of Mars, and the depression of Jupiter (Confessio Amantis VII.1169-84; Tetrabiblos I.19).
The sun, Phoebus, is in Capricorn, the winter solstice, and bitter frosts destroy the green in every yard, FranklT 1248-1251. Capricorn is called the winter solstice or the tropic of winter, Astr I.17, because the sun enters the sign on December 13, the shortest day in the northern hemisphere in Chaucer's time. Today, the sun enters Capricorn on December 21. The circle of Capricorn is the widest circle of the three principal circles, Astr I.17, the others being the tropic of Cancer and the equator...
Capricorn, the English variant, appears in FranklT 1248 and throughout the Treatise on the Astrolabe. Capricorne, the French variant, and Capricornus, the Latin variant, appear only in the Treatise on the Astrolabe.

In a few words, all these technical terms will only confuse. Boil it down to simplicity, "Kundalini" in that world only means the acceptance of the release of different hormones. Our accepting, and our restricting of these hormones makes a physical difference in the process and our practices do more than the beliefs. Kundalini is just a word created by someone who was of a view that people will not be able to understand the concept in its rawness, but that in itself is prejudice and restriction.
Accept love, accept intimacy, accept bliss, accept that you are the same material inside that everybody is, accept that you're a creative force, accept that you can be filled with love and joy and still function, as soon as you do, your whole inner body will feel as if it is glowing. And the practice and habit of keeping this acceptance alive is simply what we so confusingly acknowledge as "The kundalini yoga", I'd rather call it "Perseverance of positive emotions". Yes it's boring and doesn't sound oh-so-shiny, but it is closer to the raw reality.
