Shelle,
Your fears are very similiar to what mine were in beginning I also have kids to raise a one and two yr old so I was terrified about all the horrible things I read about but it is only bad like that for people that fight it is kind of what I have seen so far. I also feel like even if you were doing yoga if a person has a rising it was meant to happen and would have happened eventually anyway so it is kind of unnecessary to hide from anything that could cause it. As far as meditation goes I have seen some people that could meditate as long as they want for me I cant think the word meditation without my k going crazy so I think you will just have to come up with your own personal limits with what feels right for you and let things go naturally I loved to meditate i used to meditate for 1-2 hrs a day every day and I cant even tell you the last time I was able to do it for a couple minutes since my k got going. Anyway I really feared sooo much in the beginning and dont get me wrong I still find myself wondering about my future every once in a while but I just try to take one day at a time now that is all I can do at this point I know I wouldnt take my awakening back though I feel it is a gift even with the occasional stress it brings it is for my own good is what I tell myself and I beleive it now. But we all have bad days now and then there are nights where I panic and think I cant make it but I just have to talk myself down and I always get through it and think that wasnt so bad after all. As for those horrible web sites out there I have a real prob with them cuz that is the first info I found and I had so much fear of kundalini after reading them that I started having severe panic attacks and physical symptoms I think it is the fear alone that these sites instill in people that puts so many people in psychosis so dont fear it what good will that do but make it worse. When I first joined this community my first question was is there any good to this I have read only bad and I couldnt beleive my responses I got back they were all positive people that were coping I was expecting them to all be writing from some psychiatric hospital somewhere from the info I had read but no not true there are really wonderful people out there that will tell you you can live with it just fine.
Love and Light
Kristena (good luck on your path it really isnt as frightning as it sounds just hang in there)
I must say this. I only go to yoga class once a week, but every time
I go I have a lot of extra energy from it; wake up in the mornings
with my body vibrating, and this is something that had cooled down a
lot, previously.
Also, what about meditation? I read something on this that said to
keep it to about 15 minutes; enough to get the grounding benefit and
not stir things up too much.
I welcome any thoughts on this.
thank you,
Shelle
