Physical Reactions

[Guest guest]

Hi Ejaye,

 

I understand to a certain degree what you are going through. Although, my

"sideeffects"

were much like yours they never "just went away" I believe they change

through time and

sometimes I feel them strongly and other times not so much....

I definately understand about the food sensitivity...........I can hardly

eat "anything I want" these days (even it it is supposedly "good for you"

and in moderation)..I have reactions and these reactions vary according to

what-- I am not exactly sure..I just know to be careful and very

selective...I have found that even what I can eat must be eaten at the right

time, in the right combination and amount...I too, shake after eating sugar

and feel very sick and achy right after eating the smallest amount (doesn't

even have to be white sugar) and coffee is also a problem...(forget

processed foods!!)....Actually I have been going through what you are

talking about for well over a year and a half now...diet has been crucial

and puzzling....

I have tried eating 3 times a day but every three hours or so ( my stomach

is empty since my body will only tolerate small amounts at a time) if I

don't eat something small my complete system--especially my brain---just

gives out----

Due to changing chemistry (I assume)....what was Ok before is no long. I

have found not much room for error in maintaining a sensitive and exacting

balance in matters of diet....(among other things)

.....have you had to eat more or less proteins(vegetable of course)? More or

less often? Do certain asanas enable you to digest and assimilate better?

(that you have found personally)

You say even brown rice and lentils are out?

what works for you?--

all the best,

michelle

Hi everyone

I am quite new to Kundalini Yoga although I have practised Hatha Yoga for a

number of years. Anyway just wondered if what I have recently experienced

is usual. I began practicing and doing about 2 to 3 hours per day. I was

21 days into the 40 days when the following happened.

I first began to feel a movement at the base of my spine, what I can only

describe as kind of something moving inside me. The next day the whole of

my spine was on fire, the nerves either side of my spine were what I can

only describe as intense. Intense to the point where I couldn't stand. The

glands around my throat were so enlarged that I had difficulty swallowing,

and my breath was so hot. I had an intense throbbing inside my head. I had

a temperature that fluctuated between 100 to 104 for 3 days. However as

crazy as this may sound inside myself I was incredibly peaceful. The

intense sensations within my body felt very very sensual. It was a really

profound experience. Then everything disappeared as quickly as it had

appreared and I woke up on the 4th day feeling fine. In fact more than fine

I now find I am unable to eat any processed food without feeling incredibly

sick, if I eat anything with sugar I physically begin to shake. Coffee is

complete no no, even brown rice and lentils.

Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this. I feel it was a form of

cleansing but would be great to get some feedback.

Many thanks
