KY dangerous?

[Guest guest]

Kundalini is the force of your own soul "inviting" you to become aware

of and relate to your deep self.

 

Kundalini yoga is the yoga of awareness.

 

To some, awareness is dangerous. To a person who is in really deep

denial about their life, awareness can be dangerous. ("Denial" is not

a river in Egypt!)

You will find people who have practiced some kind of Kundalini yoga,

other than that taught by Yogi Bhajan, and who end up blowing their own

minds and now they want to blame something outside themselves. These

same people call it "K". That is they have moved all of their lower chakra (1st

survival issues and 2nd chakra sexual angst) into their walking day awareness

with no understanding of the process. They really need some good therapy at this

point (I suggest a body centered therapy. check out

http://www.thepositivemind.com/HTML/intensefeelingarticle.html ).

 

What helps in having a beautiful, organic Kundalini yoga experience is

having a love of and a trust in your teacher. This is actually an

essential ingredient in the beginning if you are to study with

another person.

It is also essential to tune in with the ADI Mantra. Once your

practice is established and you are walking on your path it doesn't matter what

your teacher does or doesn't do, you will relate the G.O.D. within them.

Kundalini has been defined as meaning "coil of the hair of the

beloved". That's something to think about.

 

Suky, do you live near a certified (or at least very experienced

and realized) Kundalini teacher? Whether you do or not, there is a

lot of good info and a very unique online course at

kundalini yoga written by Gururattan Kaur, PHD

 

You are in the right place. Stick around.

Sat Nam,

Sat Nam Suky,

 

first of all - relax ;-)

Just think over of the following:

We yogis / yoginis are in no way lunatics or eager to commit suicide on an

elaborate way.

 

What should be said is the following: Kundalini Yoga is POWERFUL - you

realize it very soon after doing exercises like Sat Kriya, stretch pose or

breath of fire. Kundalini Yoga is 'a little bit more' than just stretching

and bending - KY works on much more levels of your existence. KY has

especially lots of benefits and influence on your glandular system and this

could be harmful for persons 'poisoning' their body with drugs, alcohol or

tablets, pills and whatsoever.

 

Therefore not doing appropriate exercises, missing warm ups and tuning in

or mixing kriyas, yoga styles etc could have a negative impact. So it is

best to have a real 'human' teacher around you, who could guide you through

the lessons and exercises. Studying at home with only DVD and books is

better than nothing, but you are missing the feedback and corrections of a

teacher as well as the group energy of a 'real' yoga-class.

 

KY done correctly (means tuning in with the Adi-Mantra, doing some

warm-ups, doing a Kriya, relaxation, meditation, chanting a mantra, tuning

out) as taught by Yogi Bhajan is not dangerous at all - but the positive

effects are numerous. Therefore dive into the world of KY, look for a

teacher, take it easy and enjoy it!

 

Sending blessings, peace and light from Shanghai,
