When experiences that grew out of kundalini awakening resulted in my

feeling the emotions and psychic states of others, quite openly and without

my willing it, I became a little anxious about how to "protect myself".

Part of this concern was about food--ayurveda teaches that the emotions and

spiritual state of the cook are in the food. Oh no! What does this mean

if we have to stop at Subway for a sandwich on a busy day, instead of going

home and baking our bread after a quiet meditation, then making our

wholesome fresh spiritually clean lunch! My solution was to mentally thank

and pray for everyone who was in any way connected with the preparation of

the food I eat, rather than try to rid the food of all influence.

I think that is a wonderful approach Jill. You are right in that people with

an active Kundalini are very sensitive to vibrations and a positive mental

atmosphere is helpful.

 

This reminds me that when I was much younger, for a period of about a year

or so I would sometimes see many of the events of next day and the people I

would be meeting in my sleep the night prior. I wondered how my mind was

catching all that but somehow it did. It was both fun and somewhat

distracting. Mind is a powerful tool and connects us to each other at finer

levels. Mind becomes sensitive through awareness, meditation, and

reflection. Along with the sensitivity, developing an understanding,

compassion, and detachment towards the waves of the mind is helpful.
