    Maybe it pretty much boils down to how much of your shadow you're willing or capable to face at once ;)

    Practising equanimity with Gross and Subtle vibrations by developing body awareness helps me get comfortable with my shadow relatively easily. Maybe that's just me and what's working for me. Three cheers for Vipassana and Kriya yoga.

    It indeed can be dangerous. When Kundalini is activated, your subconscious is powered with more energy and in turn powering up your shadow self too. 

    It would only be logical to practice non duality with meditation, presence, being or any other grounding activity to calm any  surge in energy. Basically any exercise to get you back to the present moment and away from mental chatter (*sub conscious). 

    Books, Power of now or The New Earth, by Eckhart Tolle are amazing to practice grounding activity.

    Once grounding is comfortable, Kundalini yoga should be relativity safe.

    And it's definitely not easy to face one's shadow ??????????????

    After futher research, i have read that is is very dangerous to suddenly start Kundalini yoga as it can be too direct.

    Indeed. End the universe, if you dare. Don't worry about us, we're not real anyway ;)

    @Leo Gura

    Oh if it were only that simple, trust me, Id do it in a heart beat and end this drama :D 

    I also believe in reincarnation being a good possibility, Id just be back with a bigger baggage of karma to eliminate :( 

    But we speaking about Mahsamadhi, hmmm this would be the most ideal way to leave I guess, when alive and kicking with all faculties functioning. If its meant to be then maybe this life time :D

    The entire universe ends.

     

    I would put this idea under speculation and as there is only one way to find the truth on this (:P) why do we have to zero in on this idea.

    Sri Paramahansa Yoganada has left the physical world with a large audience and yet there are a lot of ppl now who claim to be under some guidance and connection.

    Sri Lahiri Mahasaya was said to have severe pain after he declared the date of his Mahasamadhi and maybe that was the last part of fulfilling karma. Maya is surely tricky.

    however with evil spirit most of them are evil because of religion 

     

    Could you help me understand your through process behind this statement. I thought following religion gives framework for people who don't have a natural moral code themselves. Atleast out of fear. I see from my own thoughts that it maybe because they are not authentic, but how evil though?

    It up to what spirit or the deities you are working with, it could be from snake venom, blood, fruit or even your devotion 
    usually, you can put the fruit in the garden or special place for your offering 
     

    Hmmm makes sense. Thanks. Yeah I can do that.

    @Pacific Sage I think VO2 max plays a huge role. It's highly genetic but you can probably double it in a single year if you're very active.

    3 breaths per minute is nice if you can breathe like that outside kriya cause most people take like 16 breaths per minute :)

    Do you also struggle with KSF or am I the only one? I've heard you're supposed to hold it for 2 minutes and most days I'm happy if I can do 90 seconds.

    Yea I try 5-6 breaths a minute frequently through out the day.

    Ah no, the reason I haven't started with KSF is because I can comfortably hold my breath for about 45 seconds and I can push it to above a minute but that's uncomfortable. I am still working on my breath retention. 90 seconds is pretty good for KSF I believe.
