I really wasn't planning on taking the kundalini class, a friend of mine was going to until I mentioned the potential danger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 i know at least one person who experienced kundalini rising after doing swami ramdev's pranayama techniques its a phenomena that's difficult to predict, and even highly reputed gurus may not know how to deal with this or be ineffective, as i have also seen on a few occasions to anyone experiencing kundalini rising, i recommend gopi krishna's books - he writes in a genuine, honest and authentic manner in terms of treatment, my understanding of the phenomena is that it is akin to " shaman sickness " , and similar methods can be undertaken, even if only palliative with regard to diet, eating meat can actually help ground some people better than any other food, which is an important consideration, since kundalini sends vata spiraling out of control - it also may be a useful approach where gluten (wheat/kamut/spelt/rye/barley/oat) and casein (milk) and/or hypoglycemia are suspected factors in aggravating/worsening the condition a couple of useful online resources: http://www.schizophrenia.org http://www.spiritualemergence.net http://www.spiritualcompetency.com http://www.cpsh.org best... todd Caldecott todd www.toddcaldecott.com > Posted by: " criiii dum " dumicita dumicita > > i'm happy i helped u. if your friend is going to an authentic > school with experienced teachers, and he / she follows the > instructions, there is no danger.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 I have personally seen many people - not just one or two who have been harmed by kundalini yoga- not due to kundalini awakening, but due to the performing of pranayama and kriyas in a fashion that is not appropriaate. The above mentioned people are still not in perfect balance even after years of treatment, but they are managing a lot better. The problem seems to be that the training required to teach kundalini yoga is not very long and so the teachers may not have alot of practice under their belts and thus, may not know how to guide people according to their needs. I personally feel that a person should not endeavor to teach yoga without taking anatomy physiology and without having several years under the guidance of a highly qualified and experienced teacher. Yoga schools are popping up everywhere and people who have studied for two weeks are opening yoga schools. Yoga and pranayama are very useful, simple and powerful, but they can also be dangerous if performed incorrectly. criiii dum <dumicita wrote: i'm happy i helped u. if your friend is going to an authentic school with experienced teachers, and he / she follows the instructions, there is no danger.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 If someone has Kundalini rising and cannot control it, it would be best for them to see a Kundalini Yoga teacher. Yogi Bhajan always taught to have control of the kundalini and taught techniques to control it. One thing they need to do is to pull the locks or bandhs when meditating. That way the energy can just go up to the higher centers. Gopi Krishna may describe the kundalini experience but it gives Kundalini Yoga a bad name. There are specific ways to deal with it.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Namaste I took a Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training program in the tradition of Yogi Bhajan and controlling the Kundalini was never mentioned. Perhaps different teacher training programs address it much better, but not all 3HO teachers will be prepared to help students with kundalini rising. The head teacher of our teacher training program did not have these skills. T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 the guru of our school can do it, i mean control the rise of kundalini. i was at a conference in a yoga camp. during the conf a lady had a sudden rise of kundalini not very harmonious, it was really hard, her body was shaking and twisting without control, and by the sounds coming out of her mouth we could understand she was suffering. after about 10-15 minutes people told him about that lady in the room. he looked at her, and in few seconds the uncontrolled movements of her body just stopped, and she started to feel better. it's not so hard for a guru, but it might be impossible for a person that only went through 2 weeks training. _____ I took a Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training program in the tradition of Yogi Bhajan and controlling the Kundalini was never mentioned.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 i didn't really understand what do u mean. the event happened in a conference when he was talking about some spiritual subject, i forgot what. (it was about 12 years ago). it was not during chanting or meditation, but while we were listening to his words. after he helped her, he told us that it was kundalini, mainly at prana-maya-kosha level, which means etheric or energetic body. he told us that if we r in this situation by ourselves, we should focus in ajna (3rd eye) and this will increase the control over this energy. ______________________________ They used to call it shaktipat (?sp) when it happened at Swami Muktananda's ashram events - not really kundalini is it? <snip> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 I did not take the course where you took it. I was " grandfathered " in the certification. I have heard Yogi Bhajan mention this a few times though and different teachers have taught it.
