Second, I have been coughing a lot lately and it's not from being sick or from smoking, it's like a cough for no reason that doesn't seem to alleviate anything. I didn't think anything of it until last night after my DM when the energy was moving through my system and when it got up to the throat I almost choked and started coughing really bad. Now today I feel like I have some kind of small blockage or something, and it's uncomfortable. It's like I have an invisible hairball in my throat that I can't get rid of! I was wondering if the dynamic jalandhara would help this and if it is okay to use it if I haven't got to the kechari stage yet...
Thanks in advance
I'm going through the exact same situation at this time. It feels like a strong pressure building up in the throat and trying to push up. It becomes intense and results in coughing reaction by the body.
It happens during the practice (which I've stopped since last 6 months) or it happens on its own. There is definitely some sort of 'blockage' in throat center. I guess that this is the situation with you also.
Continuing the practices at full swing would likely make it worse, so I suggest giving it a rest and seeking expert advice. It can take a long time depending on the person.
Dislike of coffee etc is a sign that the body is purifying itself of all toxins. I had a similar thing happen to me. Coffee started tasting so bad that I had to switch to tea, which also started tasting very bad after a few months, now I'm on ginger water. I did ignore the sign, and the result was upset stomach and all sorts of "medical" symptoms that appeared just after taking coffee.
This sensitivity has happened to other foods also, like milk or food cooked by others. I suggest giving up coffee slowly, if you don't want to find out what can happen. You can start it again once the sensitivity disappears.
I'm no expert in this field, so please double check with someone more knowledgeable. Keep us posted
