fatiqued after prana upward flow

[shantiseth]

Much prana upward flow. Then fatiqued and depressed afterward. Too much upward movement. Looking for energy practices to bring the energy down for balance. Many thanks, Seth

Hi Shantiseth,

have you tried spinal breathing pranayama? It is a great help when it comes to energy imbalances. More info can be found here: http://www.aypsite.com/plus/41.html

Your symptoms are classic signs of overdoing. This can be prevented by self-pacing your practice. Yogani talks about that here: http://www.aypsite.com/plus/38.html

Hope this helps!

You can also try this for a quick relief.

Lie down on the floor on your back.

Spread your hands like Jesus Christ on the cross.

Pray.

Imagine the palms of your hands being nailed down. The nails are going through your palms into the ground.

Similarly, feel the back of your head and your tailbone as if being pulled down into the ground.

The excessive energy/prana would sap into earth through these centres.

Welcome to the AYP forums Shantiseth.

I agree with Medea. Sounds like over doing practices.

Can you tell us what practices you follow and for how long do you do these practices?

Do you meditate or only work with prana?

If you manage to practice THAT much, I recommend doing a mantra (108 times if you can) at the end. Let it take over the energy. It can dissolve it correctly.
