Harsha: Many Yogis emphasize focusing on the Manipura Chakra for health,
strength, vitality, and healing of others. See for example Swami Sivananda's
book on Pranayama. Deep breathing and gentle retention exercises also have
been known to be effective in stimulating the Manipura Chakra. Guidance in
all this is suggested. For someone who is familiar with the subject matter,
Kundalini awakening and symptoms such as the feeling of electrical shock
currents, etc. will not cause concern. Sometimes, it is not the Kundalini
manifestations (call it Holy Spirit or Divine Intelligence, if you wish)
that can do harm, but the reaction of the people experiencing them. This is
why being familiar with the literature and having experienced yogis around
is very helpful in maintaining a balance. Western psychologists have only
recently started exploring this phenomena, perhaps with Carl Jung. So many
people who are having these experiences or have had them have indeed been
misunderstood. Fortunately with many Medical Doctors now writing about this,
the subject is becoming more mainstream. Kundalini Yoga is all about
exploring the nature of consciousness. Therefore it has a lot to contribute
to the understanding of human psychology and spiritual well being. Its real
import is however in revealing the true nature of the Self, which is without
any bounds or limits, Eternally Free.
