Subject: [K-list] Sean's concerns about yoga

 Hi Sean
I do not think Gopi Krisna is a valid example to be used in a
discussion of kundalini and concerns about yoga practice.
Yoga means union of inidividual consciousness with universal or
cosmic consciousness, or the means used to attain such.
G.K's practice was devoid of any such intentions.
He did not practice yoga.
He practiced a dry lifeless concentration exercise without any
devotional aspect, without any idea of expanding individual self to
Cosmic Self.
Cultivation of such devotional and expansive sentiments are very
helpful in channelling the energies, experiences which are tapped
into.
Again G.K. did not practice yoga. He had one concentrative technique,
a very unballanced approach: no asana to prepare the physical nerves
and glands to handle K; no pranayam to purify the more subtle
nadii's, channels of energy flow; He did not have a progressive and
balanced yoga practice. No wonder he had trouble.

 .... Oh look! I have hooked up a pipe to Niagara Falls:
 now what the F!?K am I going to do with all this water?

You mention several other friends who had great difficulty with K
experiences.
What were their practices? I notice you are involved with the 3HO
organization where even a rank beginner is taught pranayams,
pranayams are even offered over the net by 3HO. (!!!!!!??????)
Most other schools of yoga discipline require a considerable amount
of time spent with asana practice as well as other meditation
techniques, to strengthen and prepare mind and body, prior to
commencement of pranayam.
Perhaps K is not the problem.

if it ain't broke don't fix it.
but always change a losing game.

Take care of yourself.
