Spontaneous Kundalini Energy experience

[Guest guest]

This is in reply to the recent question about dealing with a student who has

had a spontaneous Kundalini experience. I have met several such people myself

who have come as students or to seek advice. This is a large topic of

discussion, but I will try to cut to the chase. Though there are various

reasons for this occurance, it often happens with people who have a serious,

often self-directed meditative practice without the physical aspect of yoga

to prepare their body for the flow of Kundalini energy. If you practice Sat

Nam Rasayan or can otherwise read the energetic balance in the chakras, you

will probably find where energy is blocked or misdirected, usually in the

lower three chakras. Once you have this info, you can give the person the

appropriate exercises and meditations to help balance the flow of energy.

Grounding exercises are often helpful as are Kirtan Kriya, Sat Kriya and

similar meditations for balance and flow.

 

Although it is not covered in KY teacher training, I have found reading about

Gopi Krishna's experiences very helpful in understanding this spontaneous KY

energy experience. Though there are areas in which I cannot say I agree

totally with Gopi Krisha, his descriptions as to how Kundalini energy works

in the body, how the process can go awry ( but not if you practice under Yogi

Bhajan !!!!) , and its importance in the evolution of consciousness of the

human race, make fascinating reading. To get a good sampling of his writing,

I would suggest, "KUNDALINI, EMPOWERING HUMAN EVOLUTION, Selected Writings of

Gopi Krishna, Edited by Gene Kieffer, Paragon House, 1996. I hope this info

is of some help. Ram Rattan Singh

Dear Ram Rattan Singh,

 

Thank you for your reply about spontaneous kundalini awakening. As far

as I understand it my student did not have any mediative practice when

this happened to him, but it had far reaching consequences in his life

and he thought he was having a nervous breakdown. Your advice coincides

with my own intuition - working on the lower three chakras, promoting

grounding and balance. The student himself wants to do healing

meditations. If anyone else has anything to add I would be very grateful

for any ideas - I haven't been able to locate any information in my own

KY books on how to deal with this phenomenon.

 

Blessings to all,

Avtar K.

Seems like denial of the realities of the body, and the emotions, are classic

pitfalls on the spiritual path. I wonder if such attitudes are responsible

for my own physical problems...

 

I was considering trying to live on fruit juice and yogi tea,

whenever my k was particularly

active.

We once had a great conversation at our local spiritual center, with a woman who

had been through a very rough time due to a spontaneos K awakening (not caused

by the practice of KY). She couldn't even hear a KY mantra without feeling

overwhelmed. As mentioned before in other e-mails the problem seems to be all

the energy going up and none going down, as well as the body not being properly

prepared for handling K. In her case it was so extreme that when she ate the

food would come out the other end without being digested. All the energy was

going into the spiritual, and none into the mundane.

 

Besides the need for grounding (she recommended not yoga, but swimming, jogging

or walking in nature, gardening... doing simple "earthy" stuff) it sounded like

her aura was totally whiped out. During her worst stage she couldn't even leave

her home, she told us that she would walk down the street and be flooded with

other people's thoughts, memories (even of past lifetimes) and emotions. She had

lost the ability to discern who SHE was amongst this chaos. (Maybe the "I AM - I

AM" meditation would help in such cases).

 

This woman was very aware of her previous incarnations; she commented that she

had already died in a previous life due to improper K-practice (she didn't

elaborate on that), and that this experience was meant for her as the last stage

of the evolution of her Soul. She said "the spiritual path is one of detachment,

and this experience helps you to let go of the final atachment - atachment to

God."

 

I know this all sounds pretty wild, but I just thought I'd pass on the story as

I heard it :-)

 

Hope this helps!

 

Blessings,

Henno
