Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Kundalini Rising According to much contemporary spiritual literature, and the field of Transpersonal Psychology, it is not considered wise to engage in any of these practices without the guidance of a credible teacher or without thorough psychological preparation and education in yoga. Any form of intense contemplative or spiritual practice without the support of a cultural context, or without the support of thorough psychological preparation, is usually considered to be unfortunate, and in some cases even dangerous. Traditional teachers of kundalini meditation also warn neophytes of the potential dangers of experimenting with kundalini Yoga techniques. These warnings should not be underestimated. A growing body of clinical and psychological literature notes the growing occurrence of meditation-related problems in Western contemplative life. Among these we find the Kundalini Syndrome (which is presented more closely later in this article) and different forms of " wind illness " described in the Tibetan tradition. http://www.crystalinks.com/kundalini.html I wondered about the " wind illness " they speak of. At this point, I am doing a bit of research into this vast subject. CV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
