I am by no means an expert in this area but I had a friend who was

bi-polar and the same thing happened to her when she got into

spirituality. I feel in some instances medication can help stabilize the

sufferer and then can be introduced to meditation, yoga, etc. to

compliment treatment. There have been successes this way to the point

the person no longer needs meds.

Kundaliniyoga

Re: Kundalini Yoga Re: meditation

 

my ex husband was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. He was attending a

group meditation instructor course and went into mania and believed the

mania was an enlightenment not mental illness. The second mania he had

he became psychotic and attempted to kill me (even thought I had

poisoned his mind with meditation and the yoga practices I did). In one

of the books from the institute (taught by a Thai Master who has

institutes all over the world) it said that meditation can be dangerous

for some who have mental illness (it was in poor English and was not

worded quite that way~but that was the jist of it).

does anyone know about this at all?

Well, as far as I know the meditation, as being told by the experts ( they are my Gurubhais, the fellow companions following the same Guru) it is likely to happen when someone follows or tries it in the wrong way. But, in rare cases, the bad spirit or things like that residing inside the body can cause things like that because the positive vibration and the energy surging through irritates them and such reactions appear. In such cases, you gotta find the real enlightened Guru who can guide you to the path. Only the enlightened one knows what is right for the particular body/soul and what this particular one can perform, exactly in what way.

 

Well, does your husbabnd suffer still ??? Upto where you are eager to measure the globe to find out the real Guru??? I'm dead sure I can guide you to the one.

 

regards
