What To Do?

[Guest guest]

Dear Jerrysan,

 

I am so sorry that you have to suffer so much. Like all of the other friends

here, I would love to help, but unfortunately I do not feel really qualified

to give any advice because I have never had any such problems with K. All I

can do is tell you about some of the traditions of my own path; perhaps you

might find at least some of it helpful.

 

Paramahansa Yogananda placed great importance on a healthful and vegetarian

diet. He spoke highly of the vibratory power of raw food such as spinach

leaves, fruits, nuts, avocados, etc., and said that yogis would find a raw

food diet beneficial, and should follow it religiously. He used to say that

the nerves must be strong and healthy to stand the divine currents, or else

there would be a severe danger of burnout. The "Energization Exercises" and

some breathing exercises he taught also serve that same purpose.

 

One other point that is stressed on the Kriya path - the divine currents

have to run in the proper channels. They can do much harm when they don't.

You have probably read Gopi Krishna's books where this phenomenon is

described. Some of his symptoms were quite similar to yours.

 

Here is something you might try - many times a day, if found helpful. Take

an ice cube, hold it with a pair of tongs or a thick glove, and run that ice

cube from the base of the spine, along your spine and skull, over the

forehead to the point between the eyebrows. Repeat several times. This might

help to keep the energy in check.

 

Lastly, there is the power of prayer. As you are no doubt aware, devotion

and love for God raises the vibrations of the nadis and chakras to a higher

level, making them better able to withstand these energies.

 

Well, dear Jerrysan, that's all I can think of at the moment. My prayers and

sincerest good wishes for you well-being go to you.

 

In loving friendship,

 

Michael
