Awful side-effects of Kundalini

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam,

 

In 'Awakening the Kundalini' Gopi Krishna lists similar hazards to

the awakening of the Kundalini.

 

I find that people who have had negative Kundalini opening

experiences don't continue practing Kundalini Yoga! I have met a few

who have had unpleasant sensations in the beginning as well as one

man who had a psychotic episode. I find myself have the 'storm of

erratic moods' but that it is controllable and part of the cleansing

process. I do find that I need to watch how much K yoga I do because

I have a lot of fire in my constutition.

 

I think Yogi Bhajan's style of Yoga is a lot milder work with

Kundalini that the one's mentioned in the books we're talking about

BUT as I said, there are people who have been disoriented by K YOga,

one was a girlfriend of mine.

 

Blessings

EOKS
