The Chakra, the Kiss and the Connection

To Kiss or Not To Kiss, What's the Question?

I was being interviewed for a "Kissing School!" video and the producer asked me, "are there different kinds of kisses?". My mind was instantly overloaded with images and I realized that there probably are as many kinds of kisses as there are intentions for giving them. The technique itself doesn't carry the kiss, it's the energy transmitted, the emotion or thought behind it that informs the kiss. The technique may translate the intention skillfully or not, but that's more a matter of finesse and perhaps even more the quality of presence within the act.
Contemplating this later I started sorting out various roles that kissing plays in this culture by relating them to the qualities of energetic makeup represented in our chakra system. The language of chakras comes out of a mostly eastern vision of various psychic energy transformers within our bodies which we unconsciously use on a daily basis.
To the degree that these energy centers are functioning to exchange and modulate the energies between our body, mind, emotions and spirit, our intentions will be activated thru our energy system into nerves and chemistry and expressed outwardly by our body.

Consider your last kiss. What was going on with you when you planted it? Were you placing a benediction on your beloved's head? That's a crown chakra intention, or blessing coming from your spirit, maybe arising from the warmth of your heart chakra, and placed upon his crown, the 7th chakra which acts as an antennae to the divine. This has an effect of connecting them to a benediction from the energy of spirit itself. Intention delivered.

Ever had your toes sucked? Not the same energy at all! More than likely this was done as an act of titillation by someone with a major charge in their 2nd chakra, the center of sexual and creative energy. However if you really received it, it may well stir more than your second chakra, mostly because the feet are connected to your root, or first, chakra. When we get the root chakra charged up we tend to be more grounded; that's bioelectrical talk for having the ability to circulate your energy instead of shorting-out.

The grounding connection from that toe sucking action has the potential to activate a lot of various energies, shifting the charge level in the whole body. Initially it helps bring your mental body consciousness all the way into the body in order for you to experience, with clarity, that warm wet action on your toe. Along the way this embodiment of the mental body naturally fills every other part of the body with heightened awareness from head to toe. A major bodymind rush!

Then this grounding action generates circulation which in turn kick-starts a swelling flow into the 2nd chakra. Toe sucking is usually ticklish so you're probably also giggling, and that belly laugh activates the personal power (3rd) chakra in the solar plexus, which ripples into diaphragmatic action bursting open the door of your heart (4th) chakra as the energy rises and melting begins.

Ultimately powerful communion states begin to be possible if the energy continues to rise; sounds from the 5th chakra of wisdom bubble out activating harmonics in the bodymind instrument, upward into the psychic realms of chakra 6. And if you allow All to open and unfold that toe kiss has the possibility of melding you into bliss states, Oneness, ecstasy, possibly the fully embodied orgasm...

One kiss, many roles, perhaps with a common denominator. Wake up baby, and really be alive and vibrant in that body so we can really connect! Let me feel the fullness of you resonating thru your whole system. Fill me with your kiss, let me fill you with mine....

Now, not all kisses and not all intentions come across as inviting and friendly; with the effects of warming and opening us. In a dualistic world view there are always shadow sides and kissing has it's darker roles as we all know. They tend to come out of distortions of our inherent energy flows.

Chakra three, the energy center at the solar plexus is often home to distortions about power.
Many people tend to view power as something one holds over another, and it's natural for them to express this in their kiss. Kiss of death, kiss my butt, kiss this! Excessive use of force, not making room for the partner's presence, the "I'm doing it to you" kinds of kisses. Everyone's had them. Not everyone wants them, and they can easily become a form of war. Biting, hard, and brutal kisses. You're my object and I'll do what I want with you. I have power over you.

And of course there are purely sexual, 2nd chakra shadow kisses; no heart, no intimacy, all heat and hurry. For someone seeking purely lustful contact this may not be a kiss from the shadow side, but for someone wanting to deeply relate these kisses can be pure hell. They leave demons behind, hungry ghosts. We didn't get the nourishment we'd desired; the energized contact, the sweet melting, the fullness of feeling and merging of soul weren't offered, weren't shared. We're left wanting, and these wants haunt us.

Hungry ghosts are part of our life on many levels, the hunger that still haunts us after a junk food feed, the soul emptiness after a night of tv watching. Hungry ghosts generate addictions because we rarely go deeply enough into our experience to feed them our wealth of nourishment.

We mistake more, lots more of the same for the possibility of satiety. A kiss that originates from the depths of our heart, the home of our soul, and which warms, swells and flows into our whole self never leaves one hungry for anything, except possibly the ability to expand one's bliss tolerance....

Beloved, let me kiss your boo-boo; or turn over your offered hand, unfold it gently merging my warm lips into the heart of your tender palm, my kiss will heal us.
Kiss me playfully, all over, melting all the stress I've hidden in my body, I long to flow again.Let me erase any illusion of separation; lock lips with me,
matching paces, breathing together, falling deeply into our eyes I see me in you, I see your deepest You...Welcome me with this kiss, send me away with another, nibble me anytime you'd like a taste. It's just that I must kiss you now, for there are never, never enough reasons not to kiss, my dear.
