8yrs ago I used to post here. At that time my kundalini caused a nervous breakdown. I have been unable to meditate now for the same amount of years. I lost my job, car, sanity, etc. I am hopeful that this process will end soon. It has been very difficult. I hope all is well with everyone on ayp.

Hi VIL,
So sorry to hear of the difficulties. At the same time, happy to hear of your positive outlook in this situation. Just keep grounding.
I have this quote by Ramana Maharishi framed in my kids playroom. Sharing it with you.
"Have faith in God and in yourself; that will cure all. Hope for the best, expect the best, toil for the best and everything will come right for you in the end.”Ramana Maharishi
Please see attached questionnaire and post your response.

| I might have a bit of help. I just need to know more of the situation. I could easily just talk about myself and not be of help at all. |

| Sunyata, charliedog and lalow33 thank you all for the helpful advice and kind, supportive words. I have read the questionnaire but am using a cellphone to post. When I have access to a computer I will post my answers. Your replies of support really mean the world to me. I also wanted to sincerely apologize to everyone I had offended back in 2008 when I was mentally unstable. I know the kundalini will run its course in time so I need to be patient. So thanks again and to yogani for this wonderful site. Vil |

Welcome back Vil,
A boat may be a small appliance, but it can take you across the river. A lamp may
be a tiny device, but it can light your path across a jungle. A torch may illumine
only a distance of two yards, and you may have to go two miles. Do not despair. What
is required is your persistent effort! Hold the torch in your hand and walk on. With
every step, the torch will illumine a few steps more and you can safely cross the
two miles. But you must walk, without sitting idle by the roadside. Make the effort,
move from one stage to another listening to God’s Glory, recapitulate His sweet messages and concentrate on Him. Let your every act be saturated with devotion. Devotion should not be something that adds spice to your life – it truly must be the very breath of your life. Devotion should inspire your every act, thought and word.
“Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into.”
—Mahatma Gandhi, former political and spiritual leader of India
“ Hope never abandons you; you abandon it. ”
— George Weinberg
Joy and Sorrow
Kahlil Gibran wrote in
The Prophet:
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter’s
oven?
And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with
knives?
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that
which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth
you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
I love this passage and find it to be very wise and insightful. When we close our
hearts to hurt, sorrow, and discomfort, we also close our hearts to love, joy, and
connection. When we open our hearts, we make ourselves vulnerable to experiencing
many different emotions.
Also please add your name to the Samyama list on AYP. That will hasten your turn around surely.

Hi Vil,
Welcome back! 
Sorry to hear about the difficulties you have been having over the years. I remember that you had a spontaneous crown based kundalini awakening before coming to AYP. Spontaneous premature crown awakenings can sometimes be difficult to handle, especially if they are part of a pattern of premature awakenings happening over life-times. But even so, there is a lot that can be done to bring the situation under control.
I look forward to seeing your answers to the questionnaire, as I know that will be very useful as a starting point. I am sure there are many here who will be able to help you.
best wishes,
Christi |

Jusmail, there is so much wisdom in your post that I will have to refer back to it often. Wow, thank you so much for your thoughtful reply.
Christi, I have always benefitted from your posts in years past and will continue to do so in the future. You always bring so much to the forum that has always brought insight and new perspectives to look at things in a different light. It was really nice to interact with you again. Someone's name I recognize and truly respect.
I truly appreciate you taking the time to offer your comments.
Namaste to all,
Vil |
