Hi roommate,

I'll second what Lori has to say. Even in the case of Gopi Krishna, it was
very likely his fear and the resulting resistance to what was happening to him
that caused the bad reaction. Moreover, he had no support group ;)

K awakening is somewhat similar to "dropping acid." Most people have
positive trips, but for a few it can be disastrous. For an interesting article on
adverse LSD reactions, see:
http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/lsd/lsd_journal2.shtml . Not surprisingly, there seems to be a small correlation between
previous psychiatric problems and/or unemployment, and bad trips.

At least Kundalini, unlike LSD is "natural," which is both a plus and a
minus. The "drug" does not wear off! ;) With either "method" of unlocking
cosmic consciousness one can have experiences that are life changing, or if more
mild, simply life enhancing.

But in the six years I've been on the k-list, I can remember only a handful
of really unfortunate awakenings. Most people who become K awakened are able
to eventually ground to the point they can function more or less "normally."
That said, K is not something to treat cavalierly! I think doing some physical
practices (Hatha Yoga, Tai chi, etc) along with meditation is important to
clear pathways for the energy.

Love, Hillary

control, not any of us. i do however believe that the danger comes from
resistance... so if you relax and just let it be, all should be (mostly)
well.
peace
