But if there K is active does this not make it worse?

Kriya teaches you to direct the energy up the middle of the spine,
into the shushumna. Most K. psychosis seems to be do to the energy
flowing up one of the side nadi, the ida or the pingala. However,
you have to try for yourself. If the symptoms get worse with Kriya,
stop meditating. After my awakening, the symptoms had for the most
part settled down on their own accord before I got into Kriya.

My K. chronology is as follows:

1. K. symptoms as a child.
2. Interest in transcending the material world in my early teens
(doing self-hypnosis, reading tarot cards, holding my breath, etc.).
3. K. psychosis induced by drugs in mid-teens, lasting about seven
years. Mostly cured by reading a book called "Be Here Now".
4. Self-realization and calm from doing Kriya Yoga.
5. Breaking away from yoga due to complacency (no more K. psychosis
and seen the light, so why bother?) and disillusionment with stary-
eyed irrational newagers, crackpots, and unenlightened people who
said they were.
6. Turning to Zen, with little results in zazen meditation.
7. More complacency, lack of interest, and spiritual stagnation for
a decade or so.
8. K. getting strong and "calling" me back to Kriya Yoga.

Peace and Love,

Ken
