Question:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cDear Deepak: Since I was 18 I had problems with anxiety but by the time I started discovering the spiritual world I was feeling in \u2018\u2019normal state\u2019\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After I had my spiritual awakening, I started practicing meditation 3 times a day with different guided meditations on the Internet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I suddenly began to feel blissfully fine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This lasted almost 1 month but, one day, for some reason I quit meditation and suddenly, I began waking up many times during the night.<\/span><\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t sleep well and anxiety appeared.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This time I felt that anxiety was completely out of control.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By that time, it was impossible for me to get my meditation back because I was so scared that it was impossible to concentrate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I read a lot of information on the internet and some people say that it might be related to the Kundalini awakening which can have very dangerous effects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But I\u2019m not sure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What do you think? Thanks for your response.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Response:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kundalini energy is a natural movement of awakening energy that is present in all humans and is a basic part of one\u2019s physiological and psychological development in life, whether you meditate or not.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You haven\u2019t given me enough information to determine whether your anxiety is connected to your meditations or not.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Certain practices can artificially stimulate and force the activation of Kundalini energy, and one should always be cautious of doing those practices only under the personal guidance of a qualified teacher.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know what meditations you found on the Internet, but if they were Kundalini activating practices, then it is best that you stopped.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s entirely possible that your anxiety and sleep problems would have arisen with or without the meditation you were doing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So address the anxiety as a separate issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Get lots of exercise and fresh air.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Go for walks in Nature to develop a deep appreciation for beauty and peacefulness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Talk to family and close friends about what you are feeling.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Begin an easy and simple meditation practice that lets your awareness settle down to its inner stillness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Do 10 minutes of alternate nostril breathing exercises or pranayama before you meditate, and for 5 minutes before you go to bed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The breath is a powerful way to calm the mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

Love,<\/p>\n

Deepak<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
