Hi all--
I think I'm experiencing a Kundalini awakening (sadly, not a Kundera awakening) and I've heard a lot of horror stories about what can happen if you don't know what you're doing. And I don't know what I'm doing. Can someone recommend someone locally who knows lots about this? And maybe a Kundalini yoga class?
If you know a lot about it but don't deal with it professionally, feel free to reply anyway.
Thanks!

Date: 2008-07-02 08:56 pm (UTC)You know, if you made a post asking where the Stop Cultural Appropriation club meets, I wouldn't make a personal attack on you. I would just not respond.
I'm going to stop responding because I don't need this negativity, and I doubt you do either.

The train now standing
Leaves for higher planes
Due to a derailment
There will be no other train
So why not hop on this one?
All aboard the Express Kundalini

Date: 2008-09-22 08:01 am (UTC)One of my personal goals is becoming a point person for "esoteric" phenomena- having at least one serious, knowledgeable, non-scam-related resource/contact/referral for as many experiences as possible. It's a work in progress and I expect it will always remain so.
In general I am unimpressed by what the internet has to offer on these subjects- for the experiences that people write about, I find the material to usually be unhelpful (for various reasons), and, for one to determine the useful information from the useless information usually requires a level of expertise that if you had it, you wouldn't be going to the internet for advice. ^_^

Date: 2008-10-14 12:19 am (UTC)So it started out as a serious question about spirituality and became a cross cultural exchange. Cross as in angry of course. The streets would be overloaded if all the people posting to the internet left the house. Apparently, the internet provides both spiritual and personal interaction.
Thanks for the entertainment and education :)
