[Kundalini Yoga] Kundalini Rising -Dangerous or Safe Path

 

Sat Nam,

The following is from my forthcoming book on Kundalini Yoga and
Meditation. This is a response to the emails about 'dangerous' energy
and what you might be feeling in your spine.

Blessings,

Guru Rattana :+)

Mental Systems for Awakening the Kundalini

Some systems activate the Kundalini solely through visualization and
breathing techniques. They do not focus on developing the physical body,
the nervous system and the electromagnetic field. The practitioners of
these techniques can experience sudden Kundalini release. When the
techniques used are primarily mental and do not include the physical
preparation and training, the human body and psyche may not be able to
handle the high-voltage energy.It makes sense that if your body is wired
for 100 volts and you receive 1000 or 10,000 volts, there can be
negative physical, mental and emotional reactions.

It is true that people who have not strengthened their nervous system or
prepared their bodies and psyches to hold these higher frequencies have
had problems when their Kundalini spontaneously arose. They like to
write books about it and claim that raising the Kundalini is dangerous.

Yogi Bhajan's Response and Safe Preparation

In response to the statements that Kundalini yoga is dangerous, Yogi
Bhajan said, "The people who talk like this don't know what they are
talking about. They have not practiced Kundalini Yoga as I have taught
it." If they have not personally practiced the technology of Yogi
Bhajan, their comments are not based on their experience of the effects
of this technology.

Negative attitudes can arise out of ignorance, jealousy, or the
ego-based fear of losing control. Those in power do not want others to
be empowered. Those who practice Kundalini Yoga cannot be controlled.
Also some people have fixed opinions about something that they simply
don't know anything about. They, too, need Kundalini yoga so that they
can have an experience of what they are talking about. Kundalini yoga
can change their mental structure and transmute their fear into love.

Kundalini Yoga of Yogi Bhajan offers us a safe, systematic technology to
purify and charge our nervous system, body systems and energy centers
and promote the natural flow of greater voltages of energy as the
Kundalini gradually awakens. This technology is designed to avoid
possible negative effects of spontaneous awakenings, cultivate a smooth
awakening and to prepare our body to experience the in-the-body ecstasy
of consciousness.

It is important to know that as the vibration on the Planet increases,
people will increasingly experience spontaneous Kundalini awakenings.
Thus it is possible for those practicing Kundalini yoga. When we receive
the gift of awakening, our job is to integrate this higher awareness
into our consciousness and daily lives. The ascent must be followed by
the descent to live fulfilling lives. Being present to the feelings in
our body, grounding in our bodies, connecting in nature with the Earth
and standing postures are recommended.
