Subject: Re: [K-list] High Cortisol - Panic and Kundalini
From: Divine Goddess

I would just add that high cortisol level is a symptom of adrenal
gland activity due to stress felt by the body...a physical and
emotional component. Cortisol is a steroid hormone.It is often seen
in prolonged flight or fight responses in the body. What are you
fighting or running from because your body is in alarm mode?

Relax and trust in the process. Prolonged release of cortisol in the
body will weaken your immune system and diminish the healing power of
your body(among other things). Cortisol release was only meant to be
a short term event. It is reverseable with relaxation and when the
body feels the threat to it is gone.

I have had the heat surges. This is a normal k process.

It shall pass. Breathe and breathe some more when it happens. Don't
hold your breath which people do naturally when they are panicked and
anxious. Keep deep breathing and remember...this is normal for k
awakening. The k just is burning away the blocks in your body so it
can move freely.

Don't give up. This just takes practice to breathe. When everything
starts to feel out of control, practicing deep breathing will bring a
sense of control back. Controlling our breath is one of the few
automatic responses that a person can control (unless one is trained)
with some practice on their own.

Inhale thru your nose and exhale through your mouth like a sigh.
Concentrate on your breathing and soon it will command your whole
attention. Bring the air in thru your nose and watch it travel
through your body. See if you can get to around 18=20 breaths a
minute...4 breaths every 15 seconds.

One of my favorite mantras in situations like this, "My heart beats
with the peace of God."
