Kundalini versus
Psychosis
From the above signs and symptoms, one must
differentiate psychosis from arising of the kundalini. This is not
easy, especially if the therapist or psychiatrist has not heard of
kundalini. The awakened person can diagnose partial awakening in
another subject. The psychiatrist can diagnose schizophrenia
easily, but give him a case of kundalini arousal, he may fumble and
label the yogin with partial awakening as pure psychotic. However,
there are certain signs and symptoms which occur are more in one
and not the other:
·
Sensations of heat are much more
common in kundalini states but are rare in normal
psychosis.
·
Vibrations or fluttering, tingling,
and itching that move in definite patterns all over the body. These
patterns may be irregular if the arousal is atypical.
·
Bright lights are seen internally in
kundalini arousal.
·
Pain, especially in the head may
come suddenly and it may also disappear as suddenly. It comes
during a critical period of the arousal.
·
Unusual breathing patterns are
common in kundalini.
·
Mudras such as automatic movements,
gestures as in prayers and even dancing are almost exclusively due
to kundalini arousal.
·
In kundalini cases noises such as
whistling and chirping are heard, but not negative intrusion of
voices. In psychosis, voices give negative instructions to the
patients to do harm to self or others.
In guided and systematic kundalini arousal, the
symptoms will disappear spontaneously over time. This is because it
is a process of purification, and the process must be
self-limiting. It is also therapeutic as they remove pathological
elements in the body. The kundalini energy is always positive and
creative if it takes its own gradual course and not forced. At the
end of the kundalini process, the individual is usually at peace,
and he is now able to handle much greater stress than before. The
best course to take is to find a guru who himself has successfully
awakened his kundalini and let him guide you to fruition. Without
proper preparation, the individual is bound to deem himself
psychotic when mental and emotional symptoms arise. There may well
be many a patient in mental homes who are not psychotic, but merely
has accidentally awakened his kundalini partially. The
institutionalization of the man alone may drive him
crazy!
Therefore in assessing a patient, the
psychiatrist (and not merely a GP), must be very cognizant of the
kundalini process. With the above distinctions enumerated and his
ability to ‘smell’ out a schizophrenic he may then come to a
correct diagnosis. Without this knowledge all GP’s and most
psychiatrists will diagnose them as psychotic. If the patient is
sent to an awakened master, the guru will be more likely to tell
the difference.
