since few days sometimes i am having shivers and feeling cold although the weather now is mild....last night i felt tickling in the trachea and the throat then i had a cry, you know those deep cries that come from manipura chakra and or from heart chakra today there was some very light flu...the tickling in throat is on and off but when i did samyama (my only sitting practice at the moment) the tickling throat was so strong and i had to cough which reminds me of an old thread i posted http://www.aypsite.org/forum/topic....Terms=throat
Glad you are feeling better. It's hard to tell at times if it is purification or not. But either way, when you do get hit by one of these, best to rest a lot and take plenty of fluids. Much love!
I had the same symptoms when you posted last regarding this symptom. And, yes I'm experiencing the same thing in Samyama these days. My throat is scratchy and ticklish, always end up coughing. Hopefully it's purification.
i am taking my temperature day and night...well no fever the throat is still in pain on and off but last night i was feeling ecstatic energy all over my body...and the hair was standing on end all over my body....the ecstasy was pleasant.... all day long i was thirsty..dry hot mouth...(like in soma cycle) so drinking lots of fluids wait and see
Ayurveda says that in the springtime the Kapha ( mucous etc.)which has been stored in the wintertime begins to flow due to the warming of the sun. This flow leads to colds and flu symptoms this time of year which is a purification of the body. Certainly virus and bacteria play a role here but in many cases it is an opportunistic one where someones immune system is weak or they have excessive waste stored up for them to feed on. For this reason the spring is a good time for cleansing practices to encourage a healthy elimination of this stored up mucous and waste from the winter. When it begins to warm up is a good time to do fasting or other yogic cleanses to clear your system and be fresh for the warmer months. If you don't then you may well get colds or flu to force the process.
Hello Victor ..thx for your input i never fast...i never liked it... also i am mainly vata and vata people cant tolerate fasting much due to their bodily constitution this weird flu is still there...the coughing during sitting practices..the itchy soar throat...and today lots of mucous...it is not sneezing or non stop mucous ,it is on and off, very slow....plus no fatigue at all....
