I think the flu has been my teacher about physical

overload. I have spent months sick

as a result of "doing what I'm supposed to do", following running

schedules that weren't right for me. (They sure looked right,

and they were supposed to work, if I just followed them correctly!)

 

I am not sure yet how to sense

when I am approaching energetic overload...

how can a person sense when too much energy is moving/has moved, and

s/he needs to back off a while? I don't have a good feel for this yet, which

prompts this line of inquiry.

 

Might you and anyone else please share

what their personal "red flags" are, if you are

aware of any, and how one responds/adapts

when they find themselves at their outer limits for moving energy/removing

blocks/changing via the sadhana?

 

When I am utterly adverse to practice, that is a personal red flag,

but I imagine there are probably more subtle signs that I am missing

along the way before my bodymind is viscerally revolted by the

thought of chanting a single mantra.

Um, yeah, that! After my first k-yoga class, I spent the next day

in bed. It wasn't really the physical soreness that sent me there,

although there was plenty.

It was so much energy getting moved/released, I guess.

 

I really hadn't expected it- I mean, who would have thought, that kundalini

yoga actually ~works~? :-)

 

A similar thing happened more recently after

trying another new set- which was not all that

challenging physically- I didn't have to go to bed, but lost all desire

to practice for a couple of days. Is this just part of the process?

Dear Ardas Kaur,

 

LISTEN. Your intuition will always tell you. All this takes is attention

and practice.

No matter what in this Pysical world whatever we do,we have to take care of

our physical body first before we have strength for spirituals....at time it

is real sad in this phyiscal world when spiritual practisionars once they

fall sicks turns to spiritual cures without realizes that they have to make

use of physical cure until they are able to have"the ommisciece"spiritual

knowledges........which I had mentioned earlier to one of the

correspondences about this and here again the ommi science of knowing can be

in many "forms" it can be good for me but it will not be good for

you......unless compassion ate through meditations are able to tell if you

so happen to met a Medicine saints or Masters.,before you upgrade

yourself.by understanding what kundalini powers can do...prolong your

life...Yes/No,gives you good energy in what normal senses usage or spiritual

useage etc,etc blah,blah....It's real rather sad here in the groups many

experiences sickness and others..how do we over come this????We are suppose

to over come this as spiritual person in the senses of spiritual levels

while here?????Guess the Yin & Yang ...Law????
