K the subject of latest Yoga Journal email newsletter

[Guest guest]

Hello, all,

 

I'm always on the lookout for signs that spiritual phenomena like

OBE, etc. are entering the mainstream.

 

In my latest " Yoga Journal " email newsletter (affiliated with the

magazine), the whole thing is on " Kundalini Rising. "

 

Here's the copy with links to related articles on their site:

Kundalini Rising

 

Recently I've heard of several people experiencing spontaneous

kundalini awakenings. There seems to be a good deal of mystery,

hearsay, and, in some cases, even fear surrounding this phenomenon.

 

What is kundalini? Kundalini is the power and essence of your

consciousness. It's the energy of infinite potential, coiled like a

serpent and housed at the base of the spine. When the kundalini

awakens, it moves up the spine, activating the chakras along the way.

 

So what's the problem? When you've prepared the nervous system to

contain the surge of energy through the use of asana and bandha, the

awakening has the potential to be joyful and integrating. However, if

the body is not prepared—or if you try to force the phenomenon—a

sudden flood of energy can overstimulate the nerves and other cells

of the brain to expand their activity beyond capacity, causing

potential mental or emotional discomfort.

 

This week, explore the symbolic origins of kundalini. See what

teachers and scholars have to say about the potential risks of an

awakening. Prepare the body and raise the voltage of your nervous

system with an energizing Kundalini Yoga sequence. Finally, if you

have concerns about a personal experience, consult your yoga teacher.

 

Namaste,

Andrea Kowalski
