Guest guest Report post Posted January 23, 2002 I have been practicing KY regularly for a little over a year. About 2 months ago I had a period of 3 weeks where I would get very light headed and sort of black out almost every time I stood up. I had tests done for blood sugar, etc. Everything totally normal. These symptoms stopped for awhile and now have started again in the past few days. I've read somewhere about some possible side effects of opening up and accessing this energy. I'm wondering if this could be related to these symptoms. I'm hoping to get some feedback on this. Thanks so much. Sat Nam, Jeanette Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted January 24, 2002 Are you locking your chin? Make sure that you apply jalandhara bhanda (neck lock) which regulates the shift in blood pressure. It is not too unusual to feel lightheaded when standing up after sitting for a while. Do so slowly. Another thing is something related to Prana - Apana balance. Too wordy for me to cover right now especially since I have yet to master the issue myself. How do you feel after these little episodes?? At any rate, I wouldn't worry. Integrations between head and body will always challenge your limits and understanding. Gotta run, DS ButterflyLoffie wrote: > I have been practicing KY regularly for a little over a year.

Thanks so much. Sounds to me like your energy is rising and you are not staying present in your body. You can be mentally in your head or out of your body. You stay in your body by feeling the sensations in your body. I sent an email with specific instructions on how to do this Monday. Practice these staying present techniques and see if this changes. And let us know. Sat Nam, Gururattan Kaur Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted January 26, 2002 About nearly blacking out when you stand up quickly. I get this problem off and on. It took me many years to find out what was happening. In my case it was due to a weakness in the adrenal glands which can become weakened by stress. There is a meditation for the adrenal glands in the book "Yoga for Health and Healing". It positively works. It is difficult but you can build up to it. Other kriyas which help the adrenal glands are often related to the kidneys because the adrenal glands are on top of the kidneys. Let me know if you need more info. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
