Guest guest Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Hello Michelle, What you are doing is good regarding the diet and the yoga. It reads as if you are feeling tired and that the body wants more sleep. The Kundalini will ask this of you at times. This shouldn't be interpreted as depression or an illness. There are a very many changes going on inside of you and the body will need more " down " time. Even when it's sunny. lol. Also if you have depressed thoughts or issues of self worth or not fitting in. These are also aspects of the change as you come into contact with aspects of the self that are being altered. Please go into the safeties and give yourself an experience of your Inner Joy. Follow those instructions and focus on the positive aspects of what has been occurring. Keep the tongue up and do the locks. If you are a vegetarian but Kundalini wants you to eat some meat then please eat some meat. It is needed or wouldn't be asked for. Surrender completely to the agenda of the Kundalini. Hold nothing back 24/7. Let it do its work with you and express your gratitude for the experiences that come and have already occurred. Look at the Chakra breathing and at the breathing in the safeties and do these as they can bring a balance to your flow. Please do some high energy excersices. Daily. Keep us apprised of your situation - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Welcome Shellie! It has been my experience that these episodes of feeling down will lessen as time goes on... the longer you're here and the safeties become part of your every day. There's nothing to fear... just think of what an amazing gift this is you're experiencing, and know that you couldn't have found a better place to continue learning and to grow... love & light ~Jen~ , " Michelle " <mindful_healing wrote: > > Hi, > > To introduce myself, I'm Michelle or Shellie to most, and have > realized my kundalini was awakened about 4 months ago.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 yes it can. i used it for three years and everyday it snapped me out of my depression. first i started with sat kriya to awaken the energy then nabhi kriya to contain it and build the third chakra. finally kriyas like mahan gyan mudra...if you push through the pain in your arms for the full 11mins you will find relief and a new energy will enter your heart and throat, but if you don´t do sat and nabhi kriya first for a few months the energy will leak out of you in 5minutes. just doing nabi made me feel likea new person see free online lessons kundalini yoga. transitions to heart centered world is a good book to buy. the naval energy kriya, smiling buddha, balancing the nervous and immune systems really worked and changed my life for about three years and i was not only feeling better but had a new sense of creativity and enjoyment that i had never experienced before in my life. try these kriyas they work..your can eventually build them to 31mins some of the arm kriyas but esentially what they do is raise angry energy and transform to action energy at the heart and throat so that you can really be in the moment and enjoy yourself. Other kriyas like sodarshan kriya i´ve done for 900 days and they can be trying because they make yuou face the dark side of your personallity. often the ego in a last ditch effort to keep old habits will put you in a dark period for a couple of days before you have a breakthrough..this is meditation which is cleaning house. That being said you could have an asymetricial brain hemisphere´s which could be alleviatedvery effectively through brainwave entrainment. --- On Mon, 7/27/09, shaun1154 <shaunjd wrote: shaun1154 <shaunjd Kundalini Yoga depression Kundaliniyoga Monday, July 27, 2009, 3:56 PM Hello, Pardon me that this is a long question.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Sat Nam Shaun; I have no answer for you. I just want you to know that I too have depression. Presently I am on 3 different pharmacuticals. I met a Power Yoga instructor Sunday who told me to " Let go or Lexapro " . (conincidental that I am on Lexapro?)[?] I am in a shelter and unable to practice KY....now that I cannot do it I crave it....of course when I have a home it is a struggle to get the ego to let me practice!

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Sat Nam Shaun: CHANT, CHANT, CHANT... Chanting involves Will, which depends on Emotions, which will lead to Desires and Actions. Chanting involves breath control, whether conscious of it or not. With breath control, the mind receives direction...from your own Soul. With chanting, any Pranic Body imbalance will start to harmonize. With chanting the prana-apana will revolve at the Navel Center so the true healing energy may irradiate. Chant the name of Guru, Shabd Guru, the Master within. Rise up and chant to the Infinite. The miracle mantra, Guru-Guru-Wahe-Guru...Guru-Ram-Das-Guru. Chant it! One minue, two, five, eleven, it does not matter. You will find yourself chanting it all day long! I know you have received very wise advise from many in this group. Follow your Self. My advise is very simple and I humbly submit it to your consideration. Simran, remembrance and repetition of the Name, Nam, Naad, Shabd. The Bhagavad Gita mentions " it is the highest form of spiritual practice " . Says Guru Arjun, AG-517 " Within our hearts we contemplate the Master, On our tongue is his holy Name, In our eyes resides his form, In our ears resounds the divine melody. We remain completely engrossed in his remembrance, We become merged in the state of ceaselessly dweling upon him. Our mind and intellect are completely coloured With the dye of his constant remembrance. Such persons alone gain honour and glory in the court of the Lord, And thus fulfill the great destiny of human life.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Please try this meditation and think about your association with the feet of the Lord during the day and night when you are free. Try to think at the solar plexus level and navel point level when you are not feeling grounded. Apart from this go for walk and jogging daily to release excess energy which is very important. Ask Him For strength. * Meditation of the Week Deep Memory of a Past Projection Past Projections can tempt, hypnotize, and distract us. A deep memory holds the impact of trauma, of disruptions of our identity. This Projection goes away from that. It is cautious about intensity from the past. Too much of this Projection, and depression, detachment, and lower learning develop. Too little and nostalgia, procrastination, and regrets dominate. When balanced, you become a rapid social learner. You are quick to avoid past temptations, and are able to let go of things that do not concern or serve you now. Synchronization Meditation Sit straight. Eyes look at the tip of the nose. Place the fingertips of each hand together with the other hand. Form a “teepee” and place it in front of the torso at the level of the solar plexus. Fingers are spread and facing forward. Inhale deeply through the nose. Hold as you mentally chant “Saa taa naa maa” once. Then exhale by segmenting the breath in eight equal strokes. Breathe out through the rounded mouth. The exhale is not from the tip of the lips; it comes from the middle of the mouth and is generated from the navel. By the eighth exhale, pull the navel point all the way back towards the spine. Continue for 11 minutes. Increase the time slowly to 31 minutes. The past is dropped. The five elements clear to reveal your real self. You see all without being caught up in any of it. Let go, let it flow. **Dust at His Feet* *harpreet* On Tue, Jul 28, 2009 at 2:26 AM, shaun1154 <shaunjd wrote: > > > Hello, > Pardon me that this is a long question.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Hi Shaun, shaun1154 <shaunjd > ...incredible sadness, no energy, etc. I find that it almost feels like a real physical sensation in addition to being something " emotional " . Thats true. When you do 'physical' yoga it changes your emotions, For 2 months when I lived in winter Belfast I would go out job hunting and come home depressed and feeling alone. It took me 45 to 90 minutes of yoga type things to get me back to feeling neutral or sometimes even happy. Most days I went thru this cycle of depression coming up threatening to overwhelm me then sending it away by 'working on myself'. I am lucky because I didnt have self-loathing more just lack of self respect. > 1. Could my increased awareness of what is happening to me be due to yoga? For sure it is and this understanding is the key to your way out. Yoga shows us that it is not just the world that makes us depressed but the way we react to the world - with our mind/body as a whole . When you develop tis sensititivy you can feel the processes inside you that are your negative reactions and you can stop or minimise them. Clming your nervous system is a ig part of this. > 2. What can I do (in a short amount of time each day- only cause I am too sad to make myself do much) I only know from my own case but I think a pranayama/meditation to chage your 'mind' state a bit like Meditaiton to Conquer self-animosity - others may suggest somethig bettr. This will put you in a quiet space and from there it may be easier to start a kriya that wll really help you. When I was alone with ots of time I realised this was a lucky place to be - noting to do except yoga! How lucky. > 4. Can kundalini help me? Please say yes. It is a tool to let you help yourself - but you must work. That is nearly yes and it is not said just to help you the is the truth. Do boy go!
