Namaste all!
I have a question regarding sleep directionand the effects that might have one's kundalini.
I would really appreciate it if anyone could shed some light on this topic for me, as it has become rather pertinent.
To explain, about 6 years ago when i first moved homes, I notcied that my new sleeping direction had a profound negatvie effect on me and I had to change to sleep the other way around which felt much better.
After doing some research, it appears that according to the vedic rishis, it is quite good to sleep witht he head pointing east, which is brings expanded awareness, and to put the head to towards the south , which brings health and longevity.
Now i have moved to a new home and find that I am sleeping to the east for the first time. I think I might be very overly sensitive as i find it extremely intense in that eastern direction, to the extent that my body starts to shake and I get a lot of kriyas. I seem to tolerate it for a few nights and then I have to sleep in a another direction. I was quite shocked a first by the effects I was havin. What happens is that as soon as I lie down with the head towards the east, the kundalini goes up very powerfully..
My wife thinks I am making this all up and I wish I was! I have come to believe in my heart that the eastern and southern directions must be beneficial as this is what the vedic wisdom says.
Any advice on what i can do? is sleeping to the east recommended and is it possible that it is having such an effect on me?
Kind regards

i don't know much about the east and south direction related to kundalini.
i tried at least to feel the difference between sleeping head to the north and head to the south.
after months of sleeping head to the south, i tried recently to sleep head to the north for 7 days.
the full moon effect + this change brought too much heat and energy to the brain which gave me a headache for 1 day.
so now, back to the South position :) which feels the most comfortable.
then i found this video by Saddguru Jaggi Vasudev explaining why one should NOT sleep head to the north: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJOjRIijxwk
awaiting others feedback!

It seems difficult to me to accept the logic of this explanation. However, I sleep with my head to the south intuitively too. |

I had not thought about it before as yogic, but I sleep with my head toward due south, and have been doing so for over ten years. |

| My Ayurvedic teacher said that you should sleep with the head pointing east or south but never north or west. He said it had to do with alignment to the directional flow of the earth (facing east) and with the magnetic field (facing south). If you face with head east you face toward the rising sun and south towards a southern or sunny exposure so either of those ways would incline one to wake up earlier with the sun if out in the open or near a window. |
