There are different obstacles listed in the Yoga Sutras, like body

movement (ie. sudden muscle spasms), I can't remember if overheating

through concentration is there, but it's often mentioned in Amma's

Awaken Children books and Swami P's talks.   Heating up the body

through regular exercise is a different topic altogether.  Here I'm

talking about a more psychic-generated heat, or spiritual heat.

 

I think we're all talking about 2 different types of side-effects:  

harmless and harmful(signs to slow down).   As I had mentioned about

the psychological causes, there's 4 people I've encountered who've

complained about not-staying in their body (you could actually see

the emptiness in their eyes).   Everyone experiences this

occasionally, but I'm not talking about that.  2 had anorexia (one

was a compulsive meditator), 1 was a former anorexic, and 1 was a

compulsive faster.    All these people had "control issues" common to

those with anorexia, and were definitely of the "aloof" type

(celestine control drama).

 

During my days of learning and memorizing Amma's 108 and puja

learning, and early days of japa,  I occasinally experienced complete

mental "blanking", but this was due to mental strain, and not a

spiritual experience.   Anyone who has ever been a waiter or waitress

would know what I'm talking about.

 

In my early Reiki days, taking on others trauma's was actually a

common problem, which technically should have been prevented by using

Reiki.  The cause, I found was a co-dependant/over-emphathic quality

to a person's personality/beliefs.    The only way to over come it

was strong detachment.

 

Kundalini 'awakening' in people was very common in my Reiki days and

the symptoms are entirely different when it starts to Rise.  

Awakening can be calmed down by lots of exercise, lots of rest, and

lots of eating (especially meat) and definitely a complete break from

meditating or anything needing mental concentration.

I am replying to this message because I have been listening to The

Carpenters' song "Superstar" lately and rememebering Karen

Carpenter's death from anorexia :( such a beautiful silky smooth

voice.

 

I also wanted to mention that nearly all of the Yoga Sutras are

posted at AmmaBhakti in Barbara Stoler Miller's

translation. I don't recall muscle spasms being mentioned yet, but

I'm just now getting into the most technical sutras toward the end.
