Energy practices that went further than expected
Kundalini practice, whether through yoga, breathwork, or intentional energy work, appears in between one in thirty and one in nine accounts, depending on how strictly it is counted. Some of these begin as deliberate practices that go further than expected; others begin spontaneously during yoga or intensive retreat.
The line between kundalini as a trigger and kundalini as a physical phenomenon (energy surge, involuntary movement) is often blurry in the accounts. The practice and the phenomenon are frequently the same event.
you know, certain things that would happen with my yoga practice or I I I also had a healing practice before I became an academic.
And so there's a lot of kind of energy work and I would have sort of experiences there working in Thailand with part of my both my healing practice but then also my research involved working with you might call them shamans or you know traditional spirit healers in Thailand.
Yeah, when I was young, I started in my 20s one of the things that I actually explored was some practice that was meant to awaken the Kundalini and I immediately started having experiences like this fire coming up onto my head and I thought that my head was going to explode.
So, I I did have I I have had a I have I had a yoga practice that I was doing, you know, physical exercise based yoga practice for at this point I've done it daily for over 30 years.
