anti-depressants and ky

[Guest guest]

hi,

 

can anyone tell me if anti-depressants are prone to further block energy

from major chakras? i feel both my naval and heart chakras are really stuck,

it seems i need the anti-depressants though. main problem i think resides in

the naval, if that is significant at all.

 

thanks so much!

I am really glad that you have posed that question because I take anti

depressants and anti anxiety medications and was also wondering if they

influence

your chakras. Ana

Hi,

yes, from what I understand it does block energy. however, kundulini yoga

is specially desing to help remove those blocks. You can try that.

I don't know the answer to your question about

antidepressents -

however, have you tried doing a consistent daily

sadhana of a kriya that focuses on the navel?

A couple years ago I was in a really depressed state,

and committed to doing 40 days of Nabhi Kriya. I was

determined to try whatever I could before going on

antidepressants. The yoga really worked and changed

my life! It helped me become more resilient, active

and inspired. I still have intermittent periods of

depression, and honestly, I should probably do Nabhi

Kriya more often. . . but at least I know it worked

for me when I committed to a consistent practice.

Sat nam!

 

 

 

I am also taking a anti depressant and also working with a holistic MD in

coming off. It entails replacing the synthetic with the natural (in this

case Amino acids (and their co factors) targeting the specific

neurotransmitters the drug was).

 

 

 

Also I a doing specific KY - like Sodarshan Chakra Kriya as outlined in

Dharma Singh Khalsa's book, " meditation as healing. " This meditation is

great for depression he says.

 

 

 

My friends parents (who studied with Yogi Bhajan in the 70's) heard of my KY

practice and medication and warned me to not do both at the same time for

adverse reactions or something. ??????

 

 

 

My thought is that if one goes off his meds without replacing the drug with

an alternative, disaster awaits.(decompensate) However the KY is designed

(as Dr Khalsa) so clearly states, to create balance in the endocrine system

to restore neurotransmitter balance.

 

 

 

So I am doing a balance of slowly coming off the med, taking its natural

replacement, and my KY to restore internal health. Then hopefully in a year

or two see if I can find a lower dose of all the aminos I am taking. :-)

 

 

 

There are a lot of books out there by MD's and Yogi's a like to help with a

transition from chemical to more natural ways to alleviate depression. I

have a list my from MD friend. Write if you want the info.

 

 

 

Let me know your thoughts please in this shared journey.

Keep up, sodarshan kriya help me clean out my first chakra where my much of my

pain from the past was stored 800+ days very difficult the first 180days do

minimum times on tough days to avoid overwhelem. I´d also suggest the Healing

Trauma exercise on youtube or mahan gyan mudra for opening the heart, great for

anger/depression/anxiety I done it for 5 years and it´s always kept me going.

I´d preceed this with a couple of months of nabhi and sat kriya, before trying

it. -Chris

Sat Nam Erin,

 

I don't know about the energy being blocked by anti-depressants, but I

know that they do kind of numb feelings.

Depression is usually caused by an imbalance in the sixth chakra(third

eye). I'd suggest that you do some meditation that focuses on the

third eye and do some deep resonating mantras. Also, try some

alternate nostril breathing. This gives a great sense of well being.

Any inverted postures and postures where the forehead touches the

ground are also good for strengthening the third eye. You may feel

after a while of doing these exercises that you won't need your anti-

depressants anymore. Give it a try. You never know.

 

Love and light
