We
are treading sacred waters here. To plunge in recklessly is to risk
self-annihilation.
When Kundalini awakening happens to people
who are not on a spiritual path, the experience can leave them fragile and
fragmented. As the Kundalini process involves a redefinition and reintegration
of self, it adds extra pressure when people wish to suppress the transformation
and insist to lead their lives normally.
Of greatest benefit is a
supportive framework, which can allow people to make sense of the intricate
connection between spirit and the movement of physical energy in the body,
rather than fearing they are going insane. It is important to understand that
Kundalini awakening is a process that taps into the blueprint for higher
consciousness, which is latent within every human.
While the
enormous changes associated with a spiritual awakening may demand psychological
and social adjustments, they are not in themselves necessarily indicative of
illness. Communication and connection with others who can provide support and a
meaningful context for understanding the process reduces the isolation and
overwhelm and can help to minimise the disturbance. Someone who has the personal
qualities of creative adaptation to change and a flexible mental framework is
more likely to weather the changes with grace and style than those who are rigid
in their beliefs and world
view.
Essential
precautions
When practising this system of yoga, please be
careful about these
points:
•
•
There
may be heat developing in the body. You may wish to go slow on the exercises a
little for some
days.
•
•
There
may be tingling sensations in the spinal column, palms of the hands or soles of
the feet. This is due to energy rising and freely circulating leading to opening
of sleeping charkas. You should not bother too much as it will gradually
subside.
•
•
Negative
thoughts and desire to express violent emotions. This is part of the energy
rising and cleansing process. Control and practise the
yamas
and
niyamas
strictly.
