All yoga is rising of kundalini. tantra karma will be worked through people and places . In yoga one suffers bodily. That is why many people who do esoteric work has painful problem in the body. In the west it is called healing crisis. Yoga first works with physical body, then the mind, then the emotions, then the instinct and then the act. In the tantra it affects the act first, then on instinct, then on emotions and then on the mind.

Symptoms Of Advances Of Spiritual Practices In Yoga.

Physical- clear voice, radiant complexion, eyes will shine, hair will be lustrous, pleasant smell after going to toilet and physical work out.

Mental- clarity of speech, non lying, fearlessness, trust in divine, strong memory and concentration.

Emotions- non anger, loving kindness, non sexual relations, deep listening

Energy wise- people will feel calm; situations will become positive, rain will happen, warning signals of natural calamity can be felt.

Siddhies - small siddies like vak, intuition, writing poetry, winning in debates, making of story, fast composition in music dance or any arts will happen.

Deep interest in sadhana will be more than in teaching or preaching. This is the hall mark of growing yogis.

When the energy starts purifying on the instinct plane, action and plan will be very painful, long, repeated and will have many failures. In tantra physical plane and intelltcual plane will be longest and for some of them even instinct level will be difficult to break.

All siddhies is maintaining breath with certain inhalation and exhalation rhythm and focusing on chakra for certain minutes. For example one wants to fight exhale fast for 10 minutes and inhale shortly and also concentrate on solar plexus.

Fear- put your attention on the navel for 20 minutes. With exhale and inhale every 2- 3seconds with short breaths. Imagination will take over. Hunched back posture will help. Sexual and navel chakras long exhale, attention in navel charka .nose will also get activated. Concentration and inhalation must be longer than exhalations.3 times for inhalation is one exhalation.

Yoga works from physical to karmic. Subtle to gross tantra works from gross to subtle, mind to Physical.
