Khechari
February 18th 2007 by Sean in wordzI often use the username “Khechari”. A few people asked me what it means. My understanding of the Sanskrit word Khechari is that it can be defined as follows: “sky-goer”, “sky-walker”, “one who moves through space” or more literally, “one who enjoys space”.
There is also a mudra called the Khechari Mudra.
As for me, I just sit around daydreaming with my tongue pressed to the roof of my mouth.

I once woke up from an enlightening dream with my mouth in that position.
That is how I found out.
Cris Griscom mentions this in her books under ancient accupuncture points known as “windows to the sky”. People who show up for her intensives at the Light Institute have this point activated as an entry way to healing past life traumas.
She claims the the “emotional body” remains stuck in time and does not forget sometimes recreating traumas in present life.

A link to wisdom
http://www.khandro.net/dakini_khandro.htm#dakhma
“The heavenly realm or “pure land” of dakinis is called Khechari.”
Dakini = sky-goer [dancer, etc.], or sky walking woman. A Daka would be the male version. This is a literal translation.
Also:
“Dakinis have been explained as “emanations of Enlightened Mind” but here is a further sense, since to possess “enlightened mind” is another way of saying, “holding the bodhisattva commitment.” It can connote the wish for enlightenment not for one’s self alone, but for the benefit of all sentient beings.”
