Trouble with strange body odor from Kundalini Yoga

[Guest guest]

Hi SatPal Kaur,

Funny things happen for different people. When I first started doing

this yoga in '77, a similar thing happened for me except it was from

the armpits. I'm sure it's a process of toxins, on one level, but on

another I'm not so sure. We are, after all, addressing our sexual

energy pretty directly, when working with the kundalini and there is

this "musk" component of our being that various companies claim to

sell in bottles, except they have to sugar coat it in order to have

mass appeal. This is part of what's going on, I feel.

In the process of becoming a fully processsed human being, we have

several levels of human stuff to resonate with. The most subtle

manifestation of the processes of our various tissues (do a search for

the seven Dhatus) is Ojas, sometimes called Soma. At this point we

smell sweet to others and can taste the sweetness in our beings.

While in the "grosser" aspects of this process, Yogiji recommends

that women (especially) should use chlorophyll internally. Yogurt is

also used internally and externally. When the weather gets hot enough

you might consider a yogurt bath. Take 2 quarts of yogurt, cover your

body with it and just lay in an empty bath tub for a couple of hours.

Avoid soap like the plague!!! It will strip away your acid mantle

and natural bioflora which is/was your protection against odor causing

bacteria. Use oils to bath with. If that's too out to lunch, check out

some of the soaps that are made from oils, 100%

Using Almond or Sesame oils, however, have the additonal benefit of

pacifying Vatta through the moisturizing of the skin.

some more on this from my personal experience.
