Each single mantra repeated has to have a definate feeling of the mantra. Otherwise one is just a 150 lb parrot. If Kundalini-Prana is manifesting then it is the Universal Mind, we hardly know better than She. As I said spiritual seekers have big egos, bigger than ordinary folk. Partly due to paying attention to the 'Thief in the Palace'. I cannot believe that turning within properly can have a deleterious effect with kundalini-prana. If it does then IMO this is just one of the five pranas randomly acting in the system of nadis and not Kundalini-Prana. This is a common mistake amongst people who essentially are not sadhakas........ONS...Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
