Asian traditions recognize a number of pitfalls associated with intensive meditation practice, such as altered perceptions that can be frightening, and "false enlightenment," associated with delightful or terrifying visions (Epstein, 1990). Epstein (1990) describes a "specific mental disorder that the Tibetans call 'sokrlung' (a disorder of the 'life-bearing wind that supports the mind' that can arise as a consequence...of strain[ing] too tightly in an obsessive way to achieve moment-to-moment awareness" (p. 27). When meditative practices are transplanted into Western contexts, the same problems can occur. Anxiety, dissociation, depersonalization, altered perceptions, agitation, and muscular tension have been observed in western meditation practitioners (Bogart, 1991; Walsh & Roche, 1979). Yet Walsh and Roche (1979) point out that "such changes are not necessarily pathologic and may reflect in part a heightened sensitivity" (p. 1086).

Avoid drugs if at all possible, try Yoga first and meditation.  They are both great for chilling out...;

For me, it's between hatha and kundalini.  Both are highly spiritual for me.  I find kundalini very interesting in that the form isn't the most important thing.\n\nI've tried bikram...while it was interesting and a great work-out, I really didn't feel any spirituality with it.  Maybe the specific yoga studio I went to didn't mesh with my beliefs.  But also I have a problem meditating when there's a mirror in front of me, and they keep telling me to look at myself.  I like to close my eyes during practice, if at all possible, and forget that I have a physical body.

As a Wiccan, I have to advise you to seek the assistance of a mental health professional.  I have to say that what you describe does not correspond to any Wiccan teachings that I am familiar with.  In fact it sounds more like ceremonial magic.  \n\nAt any rate, what you are describing seems extreme to say the least, especially regarding spiritual practices, which leads me to think that you may be suffering from a mental disorder.  It's best to have yourself checked out so you can get treatment if necessary.

Start a physical program with a meditation component.  I would recommend yoga.  Breathe and do the yoga.  Do it several times a week.  This will change how you feel.  Knowing yourself through your body will increase your confidence.  Your body is what you take into the world with you.  Work on getting in touch with your body through movement practices.

Kundalini means the feminine energy that is coiled around itself. It is an energy that, when awakened, purifies ourselves, give us yoga (union with the all-pervading energy that is everywhere). As a result we become better, more balance, without stress people. It is our inner Mother, you can say.\nChrist taught us that by loving others, caring for them and being good people, we'll reach the heavens by the help of the Holy Ghost.\nIf you consider the Holy Ghost being the Feminine part of the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Ghost=Mother probably) that you might say that Kundalini is the inner spark of the Holy Ghost inside us.\nSo there no much difference between Yoga (that is using Kundalini) and Christianity

Question: As a child did you ever run a really high temp? My brother ran a sudden high fever(cause never found, of 105 and soaring)that nearly killed him. He was wrapped in towels and buried in a tub of ice to bring the fever down. But while waiting on the ice to be brought he was bathed from head to toe in rubbing alchol. At that time the doctor did the only things he knew to do. The fever came down but my brothers normal temp of 98.6 was changed to 96.0. So a temp of 99.0 is not low grade fever anymore; at least not for him.  Are you under great amounts of stress? Stress can do wild things to your body. Under tremendos stress  the muscles literally separated from the bones in my chest area. Doctor's at first thought it was a heart attack but my pulse did not indicate such to be the case. I felt as if a huge weight had been droped on my chest, but it was stress. Vicatin would not even allow my body any relief, and the doctors had said if it didn't help that morphine was the next step.Fianlly, after several months of just letting nature run its course; I finally stopped hollering with every breath. I would shake like I was in a ice house on min. and feel normal the next; but my temp. was up and down like a yoyo. Do you have any other symptoms, coughing, sneezing,dizzy spells, black outs, nausea? Have you been to a doctor yet? If not; I strongly reccommend you go see one immediately. Keep in mind not all diseases or illness's cause the same reaction in a person. You can take 50 people with the flu. Some it turns into more upper respitory infections, and some of those can be fatal. Others just feel crappy and tired. While some can't see much difference in the flu and what most people would call a bad cold. My temp. runs 98.6; 99.0 is low grade, and any thing more than 102.6 I start calling the doctor. As I said I strongly reccomend you go straight to a doctor and have them check you out. I wish you well.

I met a group of Buddhist monks a few years back.  One of the monks I talked with gave off this remarkable energy of complete peace and serenity and it was so palpable I literally felt that I was in the presence of someone who did not belong with the rest of us.  It was awe inspiring.

I have that alot... Its from stress, smoking, and not taking care of ur self. Heres something that u should try. I do it maybe 3 times a day. Go to a quite spot. Either your room, under a tree, where ever u are comfy at. Sit indian style and take your right hand and wrap it under your left wrist. Grip it until u feel your heart beat with 2 fingers. Close your eyes and consentrate on that heart beat. Dont think any bad things. Think of things that are peacful to YOU! Do that for 3-5 mins. then stop thinking and put your mind on your heart beating. Now think of your heart beat slowing down. By doing this u can slow your heart rate down enough so that u will be okay. Make sure that during the day you are drinking enough water... if u dont like water drink tea but the idea is to not have so much Caffine. It sounds like u might have Anxiety attacks and those are no fun some doctors try to give medicine for it but I dont take meds of ANY kind and never have. I have learned how to handle it. Try also taking time out for YOU every day. that means Alone... take a walk, pray, read, do whatever u like to do. I like to paint or do art. Find something that u enjoy doing and do it alone. If your problem get worse tho, u might wanna do see a doctor if ur into that kinda stuff.Personally Im not... but thats just me. Good Luck and I hope you feel better.

Tired one day I lay on the floor under the light of a triangle shape window and let the sun shine upon me. I fell into a sleep trance and heard crumpling sounds like as if someone was squeezing a plastic grocery bag. Then I saw a black shadow come over me. I was laying face down so I could see the shadow. It put weight on me and I couldn't get up. I was all alone and was very frightened. I started praying in my head and then the weight was lifted off of me. I left immediately and tried never to be alone in that house.

If it's just a recent change, then there is probably some tracable cause that you could track and deal with.  \n\nHave you changed anything recently?  Are you exercising regularly?  I know when I don't I get VERY moody, like easily annoyed, angered and close to tears!\n\nI have not found a website for support, but I have done searches on how to control mood swings, anger and irratibility and I find reading the articles very helpful for self-improvment.\n\nAlso you should get a book on Yoga.  It has helped me a great deal to learn to be more calm and take my time with things!

Challenge yourself with new things and couple them with the familiar. Meditatation is good, try it in the woods next time or by a waterfall. Also, think, study and live! Always new experiences.

i had this experience a few years ago.i was lying in bed late at night listening to the rain,i had my window open and it was a really heavy downpour.it had been going on for some time and i was becoming transfixed by the sound.then i felt like i became one with the rain.or rather i was the rain and the rain was me.i don't know how long this lasted because i lost all feeling of time.i then said or thought of the word"stop" and i felt this kind of stillness as the rain stopped.could of lasted a second or more -hard to say.my mind kicked in after that with the thought of "hey i stopped it raining".then it started again.haven't been able to do it since,tried loads-too much ego i think.the most beautiful and peaceful experience i v'e ever had.and no i had n't been on drugs.

You need to talk to your Mother about it. You could at least go to a support group that could help you understand. Your Mother seems to be a sex addict. There are support groups for this as well as depression groups to help you learn not to let your Mother's behavior affect you. If you attended one of those or one online, you may could learn to talk to your Mother better. There is a better way.\n\nYou don't have to go to an ashram to learn how to calm your nerves and meditate. There are many who do this in their own life as a part of their daily life to help them. I know it helps me. You are very important and your studies are important to you. You are worth the effort.
