Okay, so this is my first time making a blog entry anywhere. At first I didn't know what to write, but then I saw my buddy Glenn is on here so that made it easier. I can just say what's going on with me. As usual I woke up at some ridiculous hour - actually this one isn't so bad, it was 5. Sometimes it's 1, 2, 3, or 4. The company hosting our website just switched us to a new server, so I spent the last hour figuring out how to get my email again. And it worked! So I saw the email from Ken, and… Continue

I'm interested in learning more about the body's physiological response during breathwork and how that compares with physiological responses during a strong episode of activated Kundalini.
Anna Russo, who recently attended some Holotropic workshops in Tasmania, Australia, suggested you might be a good place to start.
In 2007 I had a burst subarachnoid haemorrhage as a result of an aneurysm bursting. It was treated with a coiling procedure. I have had two angiograms since that show the treatment was effective and no new problems have arisen. I'm a 43 year old non-smoking female.
I understand that a history of aneurysms in the family (or personal experience I guess!) is a contra-indication for breathwork?
The other dimension to my inquiry is about the impact of Kundalini activity on brain physiology. I suspect Kundalini energy had been active within me for quite some time without me applying that label to it. However, in the two years prior to the burst aneurysm, I went through a very intense and difficult experience of Kundalini, following a spontaneous activation during an expressive therapies session. Amongst a range of phenomena, when clearing was needed, the Kundalini experiences were pretty physically demanding - hot/cold, shaking, trembling, sounding, panting, wracking, writhing, extreme yogic poses (along with altered state, light and energy experiences, mystical themes etc). These sorts of experiences emerged spontaneously and pretty much daily for a while there and at their strongest would leave me hoarse with burst blood vessels in my face/eyes.
So my questions are:
- Is there a difference in the way this kind of Kundalini activity impacts brain physiology, compared with what might happen in a breathwork session?
- Could this Kundalini activity have developed, hastened or triggered the burst aneurysm?
- Would there be a time when it is safe for someone like myself to undertake Breathwork?
I've never had a breathwork session, but have experienced such incredible transformation through the activited Kundalini, that I was interested in exploring the Breathwork modality as a therapist, in order to be able to facilitate something similar for clients. (I am currently completing studies and registration as a Psychologist and Holistic Counsellor).
Cary - any thoughts you have on this or other people you might direct me to would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Deborah Jackson
