Guest guest Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Sat nam All, I have been practicing KY for about 2.5 months. A newbie. I use dvds. I've been doing Gurumukh's dvd and also I have 2 from Ravi and Ana. This week, I've been doing Gurumukh's mostly but today decided to do R & A's Begginers and Beyond. Everything was fine till we got to the rootlocks. Rootlocks tend to be pretty intense for me and I can't hold them very long yet. Today as I was doing about the 3rd or 4th one I suddenly had this searing pain shoot up from the back of my neck and explode in my head! Ouch, my head still hurts, though not as intense now, it's been about 15 min. What the heck was that? Was that the energy coming up my spine? Why does it hurt so much? Will it get better if I keep doing the locks? Do I have a blockage or something? I'd appreciate any input here. I love the yoga but I had to stop my practice today because that headache was like no other..... Thanks, Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Hi, Melissa. I am by no means a master, just a student as you are. I have been practicing for 5 years now and hope to go for teacher training the Fall of this year. I have found that when you do your root lock, the easiest way to get into position is to pull you belly button back into your spine and all else will pull up and in to place. It gets easier with practice, just do your best and keep up! I think you may have released during the practice, but that is good, let it go. There are many emotions you may go through during the practice of Kundalini but unfortunately sometimes physical pain is present as well. You may experience emotional pain, fear, happiness or even weep or scream out loud. It is so incredible. I hope your pain has passed by the time you read this. Are there any Kundalini instructors where you live? If you are not sure, check the 3HO website. Practicing with a certified teacher with other students is wonderful because you will benefit from their expertise and energy. Best to you.
