Experiencing Waves of Heat & Insomnia

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam All,

 

I have been experiencing waves of heat and insomnia whilst and after practicing

Sadhana. The energy is in my head, thus causing me not to sleep. What can I do

to bring it down, or shall I let it run it's course? Please also tell me if

there is anything to worry about, as well as, are these symptoms of an acute

premature Kundalini Rising? This is actually the second time this has occurred,

yet silly me went on to google my symptoms and all sorts of worriesome info came

forth, such as refraining from Kundalini and Yoga, the computer, eating sugar

and bread for grounding. As someone who is teaching Kundalini, should I refrain

from teaching too?

 

Blessings & love to all,

Bliss Cohen

Many kundalini yoga practitioners experience an aggravated vata

dosha, I've noticed. If the problem doesn't go away by itself I

would suggest you look into doing some specific exercises to

counteract that problem. Mr. Google, or David Frawley, can help you

with that.

Dear Bliss:

 

Something about what you are saying sound strange. I have heard of beginners

experiencing so much energy after a morning yoga class that they cannot

sleep well that same night. But after a few classes this problem goes away

as Kundalini Yoga strengthens their nervous system.

 

Do you do your Sadhana in the presence of others and in the presence of

teachers in particular? I am curious how you practice Kundalini yoga.

Kundalini yoga is the best way to avoid sudden surges of energy ("kundalini

rising") that the body can't handle.

 

What you read on the internet about Kundalini Yoga is mostly wrong unless it

is in a site offered by practicing kundalini yoga teachers. So please keep

teaching... but study with a teacher who can watch your practice and guide

you!

Sat Nam Atwar,

 

Thank you for getting back to me. My Sadhana practice is done in private, but

again needed to stop because of the intense heat I believe it has generated in

the past and now very recently. During my Kundalini practice I've noticed that

this heat also rises during Sat Kriya and any exercise requiring locks. Yes, I

do take Hatha, Vinyassa & Kundalini classes at a yoga studio, but most times I

do my practice in the privacy of my home.

 

If this helps at all, I've had my annual check-up, and my doctor confirmed all

is in order, including my bloodwork/hormone levels, and has assured me that I'm

not old enough to be going through periomenopause. Could it be possible that my

body is releasing toxins via sweating? Please also know that my diet is very

healthy, and includes wheatgrass and organic produce.

 

A big thanks in advance for any light you can shed upon this query.

 

Blessings and profound peace to you,

Bliss

sat nam Bliss,

it sounds like the heat of kundalini energy rising. There are a couple

of things you can do to make the experience more manageable. The

first, and most important, is to learn how to ground your energy. This

can be done after your practice simply by taking the time to relax and

integrate your experience. Or you can sit or stand and imagine that

any excess energy is flowing out from your feet into the earth (this

is most effective when done outside). Think of it as sharing your

energy with the earth or planet in a loving way. Also, if you're

someone who has a tendency to push very hard, who is very achievement

oriented (as different from experience oriented) then perhaps you're

just pushing a bit too hard or a bit more than is comfortable.

 

if you're finding that the energy rising is making you fearful or very

uncomfortable just start approaching all the forms of yoga you're

practicing in a more gentle manner and that should soften and slow the

process (fast is not always best, yoga is not a race or a

competition). Take the time to integrate and understand what you're

experiencing, respect your body and its current limits.

 

Essentially if you approach it as an experience from a non-judgmental

and observing perspective you can explore the energy and become more

comfortable with it. Eventually you'll know and trust the energy and

your own ability to moderate it. However it's very important to learn

how to ground the energy you're generating so that you can use it in a

way that is comfortable and natural for you. Remember, yoga is about

the experience
