Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Namaste Sat Nam I would be interested to know, what people may think or the advice given to someone doing kundalini yoga, specifically the Kundalini Yoga teacher Training - if their kundalini had already activated prior to embarking on the path of kundalini yoga, in an attempt to understand and progress with the experience.And that that particualar arousal had disorganised ones life & normal functionings etc.But stability had been reached & that the practise of the regular kundalini Yoga, as taught in the training was having adverse effects ...and just restimualting an already overstimulated system and creating far to much arousal in the head & prana to focus & function in ones day to day life. Would all the various kriyas / sets & meditations be as conducive to this & safe to work with...or would they being doing more harm than good if they were not chosen appropriately - as such things as the BOF etc.even the spinal flexes are indeed stimulating to a system that perhaps has already been stimulated & remains top heavy... I am loathe to withdraw from this path, but I feel that without suitable knowledge or personal guidance I may do myself more harm than good. The original opening & kundalini release lasted for some time & was extremely full on, with all the atypical phenomena...however, the 10 years since this has been an attempt to heal / integrate & understand the process... I would apprecaite any views / info / opinions /expericence of this.. Thankyou Makaela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Dear Makaela I am not sure if you are talking about yourself. 1) Kundalini Yoga in itself is not a practice to create a " kundalini experience " or activate the kundalini for activation sake. It may happen, but that's not its 1st goal. 2) The first goal of Kundalini Yoga is awareness and building everything in a balanced way including the nervous system. If kundalini energy rises it is safe and smooth. 3) I have never heard of kundalini yoga practitioners having a bad kundalini experience. I have heard of meditation practitioners who don't practice yoga having a kundalini experience that left them weakened. I have also heard of people who willed themselves to experience something too powerful for their body to handle who shattered their nervous system. I have also heard of a person who had a " kundalini experience " during a Reiki atunement -- in that case it was powerful and enjoyable. 4) If a person has had a " kundalini experience " that has left them with physical weaknesses, then it is usually the nervous system that suffered and it has to be strengthened. Kundalini Yoga should be practiced slowly with the first goal of rebuilding their nervous system including long deep breathing instead of BOF. If BOF is attempted the practitioner should pay close attention to his/her physical reaction(s), and be ready to stop and do something soothing like sitali breath or long deep breathing. BOF will eventually be possible. 5) As for all advice, you should take into account that everyone is different and close attention to what this person needs and how this person responds is essential. 6) This person should be supervised by an experienced Kundalini Yoga teacher.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Makaela i think that the arousal of the Kundalini draws always adverse effects, I have heard many cases, some are very smooth, but there is always a change in the body and in many things. When my K energy aroused, I was not aware of it by that time, and I was very stressed because of the death of a dearest relative. All kind of electrical appliances began to unsettle, turning on and off all the time while I was near, even medical instruments. With time it passed but I had the doubt if the instruments of the doctors were influenced by my energy, even my heart changed the beat rhythme. But it passed, and the K path worths every symptom, sometimes we have to pass some "proofs" to cleanse the body. The Key word is to surrender any symptom with love and gratitude.

As it is myself, I am relieved to hear of your further recommendations, as I have indeed paid close attention to myself & my responses, and this is how my concern has arisen. And I to agree that I would need an experienced Kundalini yoga teacher & supervision to if I am to progress with this safely. As I am on a Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training Course I am not receiving this, and hence where my problems & subsequent concerns have arisen, despite my having spoken with the teachers & informed them of my situation. I cannot afford to let this situation continue, at my own expense, hence why I have appealed for more information in regards to kundalini yoga.

It seems to me the teacher training would surround you with people able to supervise and help you. If it does not provide that environment for you perhaps it is not the right teacher training for you. I don't want to know who these people are, they may have their reasons. But ask yourself: Is this teacher training KRI approved? If it is, you can contact KRI and ask them for advice on how to proceed. If it is not then you don't really have a recourse that I know of. I would consider those things. If I am not receiving what I need, I have 2 courses of action: 1) Ask for my money back and take a teacher training that offers me what I need. 2) Continue with the training and partner with a student you trust who remains with you when you do yoga so you can let that person know how you feel, and ask for help if you need to. When I took the teacher training I did not have much experience but I was assigned to be the buddy of someone who was having trouble coming to class on time and was in a lot of physical pain. The organizers saw to it that this student was supported. You can give yourself that much if the organizers are not providing the help you need.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 If you are experiencing negative effects from the Kundalini energy, you are probably having a blockage somewhere. Sometimes a block can create a pleasant experience, sometimes an unpleasant one. This can be subtle or extreme. At one time I was having physical body movements during my meditation. It was a very pleasant experience. I asked Guru Dev Singh (School of Sat Nam Rasayan) what my problem was and he said my Nadis were blocked and gave me a meditation to unblock them. It worked!After that I had stable body for meditation. I also had problems when people in my family had severe medical issues. I was taking on their energy empathically which was giving me the same symptoms they were having and not helping them. I felt very ill when I was with them in the hospital room, but fine when I left. I've learned to control this by learning the healing technique of Sat Nam Rasayan. Now I can be helpful to someone who needs healing rather than draining my own energy. My suggestion is to learn all you can about energy and healing. You are obviously a very " in-tune " person and it may serve you better to develop your talents rather than deny them, as you may continue to have the same kinds of experiences. You may want to look at this as an opportunity for growth. My personal experience is that I have studied many styles of healing techniques, but found that Sat Nam Rasayan was the most powerful and most exacting in being able to help the patient. It also taught me how to control my own energy. Please recognize that you are blessed. Kartar Kaur (Portland, Maine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Kartar Can you share your technique with us, or tell us of a site where we can learn about ? I always detect the lies from people or from any relative, and this bothers me a lot, cause I can't do anything about, is like if my brain were reading their mind, and it's very painful to know that they are lying. Sat Nam Aisha Never miss a thing. Make your homepage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
