In what way is Kundalini awakening dangerous?
#Kundalini#yoga
There are 2 main energy channels in our system
Ida and Pingala Nadi
Sushumna Nadi
The energy system looks like this
#Kundalini#yoga
So, if kundalini energy has been awakened in root chakra, and energy channels aren't balanced/purified enough & the body hasn't been prepared for higher energies, kundalini energy will get stuck somewhere causing various problems to certain areas of the body
#Kundalini#yoga
However there are a few options
Ordinary kundalini awakening: Kundalini awakened spontaneously or by some practice, both energy channels aren't purified/cleaned yet, resulting most likely into very strong awakening symptoms like mental illness.
#Kundalini#yoga
Kundalini is being pushed in all directions. Years of work will be required to bring back balance in the system.
#Kundalini#yoga
Ordinary Shaktipat through Ida/pingala: Kundalini energy awakened in root chakra, Ida & Pingala were purified through practice of pranayama/other methods, sushumna channel still blocked by major chakra blocks, lots of practice needed to bring back balance.
#Kundalini#yoga
Ordinary Shaktipat through Sushumna: Major blockages and channels have been purified through long preparation in guidance, some minor knots still exist in the upper system.
#Kundalini#yoga
Reiki Tummo Shaktipat: All blockages, knots & channels have been purified through master's guidance, lots of pranayama and other methods such as Asana yoga, qi gong etc, the energy can flow freely from bottom to the top to meet the creator at the crown chakra.
#Kundalini#yoga
Not Ordinary through Sushumna, and most dangerous in my opinion the kundalini energy has been awakened through the practice of meditation (prana dharana) the ida and pingala channels haven't been purifed yet,
#Kundalini#yoga
major and minor chakra knots still exist resulting in energy being pushed around the knots, most likely with very strong symptoms cancer might be one possibility but it's just my personal research that isn't proven in any way.
#Kundalini#yoga
Cancer usually manifests in the body area near the most imbalanced chakra that is most affected by their core issue.
#Kundalini#yoga
The Ida and Pingala Nadi can be balanced through the practice of pranayama such as Alternate nostril breathing
#Kundalini#yoga
Warning
As with all forms of pranayama, or controlling of energy, caution is advised. Many students who have managed to raise their kundalini energy without properly cleansing and preparing their bodies have suffered severe physical and psychological damage.
#Kundalini#yoga
These techniques should be practiced only under the guidance of a teacher who has been there before and knows the way.
The Sushumna Nadi can be opened/balanced through the practice of prana dharana, or energy concentration, at the ajna chakra
#Kundalini#yoga
Bhadavag Gita teaches us
Established on that seat, concentrating the mind on one point, and controlling activities of fanciful faculty (chitta, feeling— power that visualizes) and senses, let him practice yoga for self-purification. — Bhagavad Gita VI:12 --
#Kundalini#yoga
Firmly holding the spine, neck, & head erect & motionless, let the yogi focus his eyes at the starting of the nose (the spot between the two eyebrows); let him not gaze around in various directions. —The Bhagavad Gita VI:13 -- Read more: http://yogananda.com.au/gita/gita0612-13.html…#Kundalini#yoga
So is kundalini awakening dangerous?
It certainly can be dangerous but not necessarily if you are under a guidance of a trusted master
This energy can be very destructive if one is not prepared for it, it won't be a good experience.
#Kundalini#yoga
A reputed Guru says : Awakening the Sushumna when your not ready for it will result in you not being able to carry on with normal daily life.
#Kundalini#yoga
Many people suffer from depression & insomnia after awakening.
So many people out there think kundalini awakening is cool and fun…
No it's not, it can ruin your daily life/ career/ family & if your not ready or prepared for this it won't be a good experience
#Kundalini#yoga
So, don't start with meditation at least not with the practice of prana dharana, or energy concentration at one point; first, prepare your body with daily practice of nadi shuddhi (alternate nostril breathing) - at least a1-2 yrs, only then you can start.
#Kundalini#yoga
Playing with kundalini without Master/Guru is like placing an uneducated person in a nuclear power plant controll centre. You don't do that.
