Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Hi everyone It has been 6 months since my last Kundalini activation. Right now K. is indeed dormant. I am in the process of withdrawing my medication (I started 2 months ago and I am halfway through with Zyprexa) I want to do it very slowly to make sure I succeed. When I'm done with Zyprexa, Lithium will come next. After some disagreements, I have convinced my family that I should gradually drop all medicines but we have agreed that I am not to perform any spiritual practise (particularly book reading..) until all the meds are gone. So the fact is : Getting rid of the pills (which is not easy) and learning to live without spiritual books is my spiritual practice now. Maybe if I manage to drop all pills and stay " sane " long enough, I will convice my family that I am not mentally sick (I am certain of this already) and this will create an friendlier environment for a hypothetic Kundalini activation. Of course this is only theory... Maybe this " Strategy " will prove wrong :-) Take care you all Hector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Do it really slowly I think. With a Doctor. I used to live in a Yoga Ashram and a friend of mine who also lived there was on lithium. He stopped taking it and started acting out. He was disruptive and got thrown out of the Ashram. So if it makes you act out, maybe it is not a good idea to quit. My mother is now medicated, but for years she was not and acted in a fashion that denied her being acceptable to most people because she acted weird. On medication she is ok. So do what you want but be aware of the consequences. , Hector Blanquer <hbtur wrote: > > Hi everyone > > It has been 6 months since my last Kundalini activation.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Well, sometimes quitting a treatment without considering the consequences is not really helpful for spiritual progress, either. I agree with Bondzai: asking a doctor first is a good idea. Non-violence is a duty we have towards ourselves in the first place. Sel , " bondzai " <bondzai wrote: > > > Do it really slowly I think.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Hello Hector, Yes congratulations with your new "practice" I am sure from your previous writings that you understand your situation and I support your decision. Please know that when you feel it is time to continue upon the path that has chosen you that you are welcome and we look forward to your companionship upon the Kundalini journey. Thank you for the update and I look forward to the next. - blessings - Hector - chrism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Hector is well aware of what he is doing as per his post from October. - blessings - to him and to you Selena nd Bondzai for the Kindness you show for his welfare. Read below - c My intention is to withdraw Zyprexa in 2/3 months time (I will do it with my psychiatrist consent mainly because I know this will make things easier for my family) and see what happens. I think I am more experienced now, I believe my ego is not so strong as it used to be, and most important of all, I now know what Kundalini symptoms are typically like, so I hope not to be taken over by them.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Hi Leshya, Igor, Bondzai, Selena, and everyone on the list I am very grateful to you for you gentle answers.... I am aware of the risk I am taking and I can assure you it is not an easy decision to make, this is why I am very cautious. It is MY body and MY mind that are suffering from the side-effects , and it is only me that can have a complete picture ... my doctor and even my family have a more limited view. This doesn't mean I won't listen to them, I value their opinion and this is why I want to find a way that satisfies us all. Anyway, I think it is fair to give myself this chance. I will update you from time to time to tell you how I am doing. Again thank you very much, it is comforting to belong to this " Kundalini family " (as Chris said in a recent post) Take care Hector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Gee mate I am really sorry to hear that, I always thought an ashram was about healing and helping people with difficulties. I always thought they had some problems but I never thought the members or guru would turn any one out who was looking for help. You have me wondering if where you were come close to being an ashram at all. where I stayed I had to share a dormitory with drug addict coming of heroin and he was being deny his methadone supply, he was free to go back out to get a fix but was not forced or directed to leave. Whilst I was there there were other people that come from the medical establishment coming of the prescription medicines everyone just seemed to help one another and there were some that freaked out at times especially on the full moon. There were guys there when I was there recuperating from high dosage shock treatment. It was an amazing place I would have stayed there I loved the community only I was to highly sexed at the time and I didn't agree with some of the hierarchical politics. I myself have always thought in terms of a community created in ashram conditions but for couples and families sort of like a village were every one is interdependent. It is probably the only reason I poked my nose in this conversation.I just don't know how an ashram can relate to being an ashram when they don't look after the welfare of there co-members. About medications you should read up about the effects Zoloft has on people in the long term. John M. 1d.
