Kundalini and Health

December 13, 2009

Sat Nam

I sit here with what seems like all the energy of my body compressed into an

agonizing golf ball sized lump in the centre of my brain. My spine is locked up

and the horrible thoughts and emotions I am experiencing are indescribable. But

this is nothing new, it happens all the time, eventually it will free up with

the accompanying peace or relief. For now I will have to cope with the

dysfunction, unable to speak properly or think clearly, or have any routine, I

dread the busy week ahead and feel exhausted and intense. My head is so hot.

In normal people the kundalini flows downward, they work, aspire and build on

their dreams and desires and are egoic and materialistic. Not everybody who has

kundalini activation asks for it or invokes it. All mental illness is kundalini

dysfunction, I experienced this from the age of 5 and at 18 I was again in a

mental hospital. Then at the same age of 18 some exceptional clarity occurred,

and I found I could read things from objects given to me. Overnight I became a

clairvoyant and medium. I was giving 50 readings a week, giving services at

spiritualist churches 2-3 times a week, as well as public performances in front

of 200 or so people. I was giving readings on radio and interviews to

newspapers. I am not worldly at all, yet I met a lady who wanted to manage me,

she had been in PR, but was a Pharmacist by profession and interested in

alternative healing. Then I became able to see auras and to diagnose health

conditions from them as well as prescribe herbs clairvoyantly and give healing.

We toured Australia and the south of England and London and worked prolifically.

Then the dysfunction began to re-appear, until I became ill again, and have been

ever since. You must acknowledge I was very young and everything just happened.

My journey from 23 up until now age 40 has been in search of healing. I have

tried so many different meditations, yoga, therapies, pills, healers and have

sat in front of at least 10 enlightened Guru's, some supposedly kundalini

clearers of excellence yet the dysfunction persists and if anything has got

worse.

Kundalini activation can wreck your life and your health severely, extremely and

unimaginably, although not in all cases.

I studied Vedic astrology for about 12 years with some of the best teachers (

and gave it up because of the politics and power issues you are now experiencing

with the court case - how 'evil' gets a foot in the door is no shock to me, I

become more cynical as I get older) and it is worthwhile to consider the

symbolism and cosmic reality of Kundalini.

The channels of kundalini are represented specifically by the lunar nodes Rahu

and Ketu. This is the point where the Moon crosses the ecliptic, these are the

points where the Sun, Moon and Earth align and form eclipses. So Rahu/Ketu are

the eclipse points. Rahu/Ketu is a serpent, Rahu the head and Ketu the tail,

Rahu takes us into maya and illusion and Ketu delivers us and gives

enlightenment. They are the most intense energies in a chart and generally we

experience them in a malefic way. This is because they have the power to

eclipse, or totally obscure and blacken the Sun (soul, atma, being) and the Moon

(consciousness, mind and all it's levels, pranas). They do this often through

crises, and the aim is redemption. When the luminaries are eclipsed we see a

light or aura around them that we would not usually see, in other words they

obscure in order to reveal. It is said that Rahu/Ketu or kundalini always

achieve their objectives, by fair means or foul, we have little if any control

here.

In certain birth charts this energy is extremely exacerbated, usually in the

case where Rahu/Ketu are conjunct or in other words with the Sun or the Moon or

the ascendant (earth or the body), or the planet representing the soul known as

the Atmakaraka, which functions like the Sun. I have looked at enough charts to

tell you this is the case, and these people have the most intense experiences

imaginable. Yogi Bhajan has Moon with Rahu in Aries (sidereal positions).

Incedently I would love to know his birth TIME. Anyhow Yogi Bhajan got the best

of it, in others the suffering is extreme and unimaginable. The Moon in my

chart is very vulnerable and also with Rahu and Saturn which is AtmaKaraka,

Jupiter or Guru is on the other axis with Ketu.

So although I would agree that a clean kundalini rising may be associated with

perfect health, oftentimes it is the reverse, and the very nature of Rahu/Ketu

make for all manner of health problems, it is the most unnatural thing in the

world for kundalini to flow in an otherworldly direction, and can cause problems

you wouldn't even begin to imagine, and from which seem inextricable.

The energy that flows through these channels, the shakti, is Mars, the cosmic

electrician. Mars (not Mercury) represents the wiring or nerves, as well as the

electrical currents flowing through them. Mars is the juice flowing through the

earth, and yes sometimes he is a dodgy electrician, and crosses wires, or even

in the best of cases blows bulbs and fuses and short circuits. Now Mars is hot

and fiery and impulsive and headstrong. Most yogi's and yogini's will have a

prominent Mars, because in yoga we are directing, in a benign sense manipulating

, or however gently forcing the energy in a certain direction, and Mars is the

directing, goal orientated energy. Yes, Saturn helps with the stillness and

discipline but remember Mars gets exalted or Uccha (high) in the sign of Saturn

owned Capricorn. This is like being in the army where Mars is not just running

amok, but is highly disciplined and controlled, Mars in Capricorn. This enables

Mars to then encounter the adversaries he loves to face ie. doing our yoga and

overcoming.

The point I am making is all these planets mentioned are tamasic and malefic.

They are willful, erratic, headstrong and extremely powerful. They are not like

the benefics which are always appeasing. Everybody is under the influence of

kundalini, and kundalini always succeeds in her objective, everyone is under

this process of awakening, aware of it or not. When you are in periods of

Rahu/Ketu shakti takes specific control, you may not even know. But she always

shows you the most incredible things, not things you sought either necessarily,

usually it is a tremendous surprise.

Who knows where the story ends, I am in Ketu dasa and hope for the best, for

years I have smoked dope which helped and didn't help at all, to manage this

extreme dysfunction. Now I have stopped and seem as determined in my quitting

as I was in my using. Apparently my chart resolves in my early forties and from

then I have a nice life. At age 43 I am in Ketu/Rahu period, I have never known

astrology to fail.

I better do my yoga now, though I feel hot and intense, yesterday I felt like I

could pick up the world around me and throw it, the energy I described in the

beginning is so hard to bear, infuriating, but then if Mars is fire, Ketu is an

infrared laser so I just have to hang in there. This mail I have written out

three times, twice it got deleted, I ought not of written it I know that, but

that is just how crazy things are for me, so sorry.

All blessings,

Sukhnivas S.

Thank you Sukhnivas S.,

For sharing this with us, I appreciate it very much, I read enough for now to

actually see something that can help my understanding of the process which I

have been under going since 1985 when my crown blew off. And, the process does

continue, no matter what good or difficult health problems a person has, had or

will have. We that have it either deal with it or not. I am deeply glad that

you shared this knowledge and experience that you have and are having. Just a

little bit has helped me greatly and now I have it to re-read until I understand

what I need to know.

Blessings,

Sat Avtar Kaur
