Dizziness

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam,

 

About the dizziness. Are you drinking enough water? I know sometimes with

certain sets that work around the kidneys you can get dizzy when you aren't

drinking enough water.

 

Blessings,

Siri Ram K.

I am very new to Kundalini Yoga, so I hope this question doesn't

come across as totally silly. I am curious to hear the group's

opinion on KY practice, Kundalini energy and dizzy spells. I have

never had dizzy spells of any kind prior to the practice of

Kundalini Yoga, but since working with the "Kundalini Yoga: In

Grace and Strength" video more and more regularly/frequently,

I've noticed (this week) a light-headed feeling. Today I

experienced a solid dizzy spell -- quite alarming for someone

who has never even come close to fainting previously.

 

Would the release of toxins, the raising of the Kundalini energy,

have any component to play in such an occurrence? Opinions,

thoughts?

 

Obviously, I'll be seeing my physician tomorrow as well but as I

have no history of such -- and the biggest change in my lifestyle

has been the inclusion of Kundalini Yoga -- I was curious

whether anyone else has experienced this, etc.

 

As always, looking forward to the discussion -- whether about

this or something else!

Hello! Your question sounds like a good one to me. Here is a link to some

past messages on dizziness:

Kundaliniyoga/messagesearch?query=dizziness

 

We were discussing dizziness that people were experiencing before they began

KY practice, but I think some of the points may still apply. There are

probably other reasons too, but my expereince with dizzy spells has been

induced by being ungrounded, ie: Spaced out, not rooted in your body. I

have stopped having dizzy spells since I began consciously practicing being

grounded by visualizing tree roots coming out of my feet, squatting down on

the ground, breathing deeply into my body, whatever works. I know sometimes

when I am teaching I feel like the class gets pretty spaced out and I make a

point to do a grounding visualization to root everyone. Perhaps that is

happenning with your video, I don't know since I've never seen it. But

there are many knowledgable people on this list who will likely have

insights for you.

 

Love Always,

Sat Nam,

To accomplish groundedness keep your breath focused at the navel center (2

inches below the navel) Keep the navel center strong during exercises, i.e

do not just let the navel center and abdominal region go limp.

Hi Pete,

 

It sounds to me like the experiences you are describing are natural spontaneous

"cleansing" effects of the Kriyas, spontaneous kriyas occuring as inner

cleansing of your mental-emotional system takes place. These experiences are not

to be feared; it sounds like your practices are clearing "stuff" from your

mental-emotional levels and your natural energy blockages are being released so

the deeper levels of consciousness may be experienced. It sounds like your

practices are working well; keep practicing and you should move beyond these

experiences into the deeper levels.

 

Sat Nam!

Hi!

During the last 3 - 4 weeks of practicing Kriyas at home, I've been experiencing

some strange things. Whenever I feel a negative emotion coming up, I get really

dizzy. The dizziness makes me feel quite anxious, fearful and sometimes even

forgetful and I have an almost constant "knot" in the stomach. Also, I'm

getting memory flashes, especially one such a flash of when I had an electrical

shock as a small child. Another is of a place I don't recognize at all, a white

building with red polished floors. The flashes are very short (they last for

much less than a second) and some of them are tastes or smells.

Should I discontinue my practice? Please, can somebody with lots of experience

reply with any advice?

Chela Shanti. (I'm not Pete, I'm his friend)

Hi!

Thank you so much to Buddy and Dharam for your replies. Although the dizziness

is not gone, it is easier to tolerate and to keep going when you know that it

means your practices are working.

Dharam can you recommend any reading material or websites to find out more about

ayurvedic?

Regards

Chela Shanti

Sat Nam,

Many years ago after a particularly strong Bio-energetic therapy

session, I mentioned to my therapist that I felt sort of dizzy. She said

"you're going to want to relax....really relax". She said that it was

integration. That has been gospel to me ever since then. You still need

to "get out of your own way". Lighten your diet, drink lots of fluids

and particularly organic veggy juices (Carrot, Celery and a little bit

of Beet is best for going through transitions) and yogi tea (

http://www.sahej.com/yogi_tea.html ) is good.....not mixed together!

Do a search of the archives. Some good links have been mentioned. Can't

recall them, right now, but do that search. Google is very good, also.

Below are a couple.

And get into chanting. You need to access and move with the emotional

body. http://www.yogatech.com has a ton of Sadhana CDs plus others.

Sat Nam,

Dharam Singh
