Hi Krish....
Thanks for sending on Kakaji Maharaj's instructions....Much appreciated. My only question regarding his advice is: doesn't fighting to keep the kriyas under control in certain circumstances create obstructions?
Hi emc....
I too could feel the "projections" of the other students on me when this was happening in the Kundalini Yoga class on Tuesday. I think every single thing you said probably went across at least one person's mind during my "flip out". And I think there was probably at least one person who wondered if I was having an epileptic seizure...I think I remember someone saying "Is he having a seizure, should we call an ambulance?", but I'm not 100% sure that wasn't in my own head. This was a wierd 5 minutes and I wasn't quite "with it".
Haha.
And thank you for the reminder about "sleeping kundalini". I definitely have a "weirdly" active kundalini. It's definitely not on 24/7, and I don't generally get the typical "electric rush" up the spine thing happening very often. Actually only twice have I had this the way I assume others have when they talk about kundalini rushes. I think I thought I was a little better at seeing/feeling the overload coming then perhaps I am. Usually I will get a few immediate symptoms that to me are an indication that I need to back off. Serious spine sweats are a trigger for me to back off. A heavily vibrating "strip" up my nose, over my head and down the back is another. (I often have a vibrating forehead/ajna, but it doesn't always go all the way down to my two front teeth and up and over my head. When this happens I know I am headed for overload soon). I did realize last night when I went to start my afternoon session (which is my long one and includes about 30 minutes of postures) though, that I am overloaded, totally, and that I need to back off for a while. I went to start my postures and before I had even done my first crescent moon bend I was getting the "twitches" in my left foot. I decided to only do 20 minutes of DM last night and I cancelled my AYP meditation group for the week as I couldn't have handled a third session which would have included Spinal Breathing, Meditation and Samyama. This morning I only did 15 minutes of DM cause I was starting to feel wierd again as well. Today I feel right out of it. My body hurts, I feel queasy, I have too much energy in my head and my head feels like it is spinning around on my neck...AND I'm very tired. I am going to seriously back off for a while and see what happens. I hate pushing myself over the edge and having to do this. I don't know why I don't learn from my mistakes the first time around. Gawd.
