Dear Sverker,
It was indeed excellent for you to start karate practice. I am not sure if
you have read previous posts of mine. Kundalini and depression go hand in
hand, Kundalini energy at some point 'curing' or 'overcoming' depressed
states of being. Kundalini in fact (to say the least) is the process that a
Kundalite undertakes for self re-origination, SELF restoration. Severe
depression is often the start of the K process, as a person who undergoes a
severe depression is at the end of his or her rope.
In my Kundalini counselling I am very strong with my clients about SSRI or
SNRI type of medication. If it has been prescribed by a medical doctor or
psychiatrist I insist that my clients carry on with the medication....
unless..... and that is why I find that you made such a good decision ....
unless the depression is not too severe (anymore)... and unless they take up
martial arts and some form of dancing (belly dancing the most preferred). I
might at some later time get deeper into my reasoning about that. For now I
will just mention that it all has to do with the nervous / muscular
messaging system (neuro-transmitters, synapses), our feedback mechanism
between body and brain. If at some point early in life, or through some
later very strong trauma, this feedback messaging system has been
compromised... if one has been 'held by the throat' so to say... literally
or metaphorically... depression and often repression will arise later. Also
the thyroid gland (throat chakra) is quickly involved...(before even any
other glands start getting showing signs of damage). A serotonin and
norepinephrine recoil mechanism has started off, compromising a persons
global defence system, social, physical, expressional, immune system,
volitional, emotional, vocational as well as mental. Medication, if
prescribed judiciously and monitored and guided well (especially as far as
side effects are concerned) is very effective but this medicated care needs
lots of surround-, side- and after-care. (As a side note, some Tibetan monks
have been taken this kind of medication now for a number of years with very
good results.) Acute and severe depression can almost not be treated without
this kind of medication... So why is martial arts (and dancing) so good with
less severe depression? Well it helps re-establishing the global human
defence system... The melatonin, serotonin and norepinephrine
neuro-transmitters production increases. The traffic at the nerve synapses
increases tremendously and the nervous feedback mechanism gets re-activated,
one's metabolism increases enormously... etc. Note, one needs a strict
master or teacher or intensive training method.
The human offence / defence system is really nothing more than a feedback
mechanism in which all glands are intricately and mutually involved. If that
system is compromised or more seriously traumatized, certain glands will be
damaged and their concomitant energy centers (as they are located in the
nervous plexes (chakras)) will be over- or under-active. This is felt as
anxiety, mental pain, panic, anguish, lump in the throat, knot in the
stomach, hollow space in navel area, etc. Uncompleted messages (interrupted
feedback) will be held as stresses in the muscles, inflammation of the
nerves, the spine's muscle will spasm or knot up, nerve passages will be
constricted, the system will break down...depression results.
The way I talk here about Kundalini is somewhat uninspired and too clinical
almost. I am fully aware that when K takes over, one often goes way further
with one's SELF realization and actualization than what the 'normal world'
seems to be built for. Intense and specific K related problems will
invariably arise, uh, actually, these problems are more society related than
K related, as the problems have really more to do with the incompleteness of
the world at large which is almost nothing but the place where only lowest
common denominators are tolerated and allowed... Oh well :-)
The literature about the dangers of this SSRI type of medication, mostly re
Prozac, is rather misguided... maybe at some point I can show the history of
such literature, the why and how of its deliberations. It is interesting and
my argument is very convincing... I have found that out.
So much for now, Sverker, good luck with you K and K (Kundalini and Karate)
Love,
Wim
