Bill - Thank you. "If I understand you correctly, it seems as if you had too much energy. And later you crashed".
I would characterize it as a rise and coast. It's only an apparent crash, not crash landing or crashing down to earth. Using the analogy of an airplane the crash from rise to coast is only apparent or temporary, we have already gained elevation. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, William Parkinson <ameradian2@...> wrote: > > Thank you so much Ravi!! You have a very interesting story. And I can now see your inability to sleep for those periods is something quite different than what might happen in TM. If I understand you correctly, it seems as if you had too much energy. And later you crashed. It has some associative points of contact with manic-depressive states. I am just knowledgeable enough to know that kundalini-style yoga seems to emphasize moving energy around the various chakras. The problem in TM seems to be that the recognition within oneself of this silent innerlayer never leaves even during sleep. Your state was high energy, the TM state during sleep might be compared to a dimly lit candle-- but one nevertheless never goes out even during sleep. I am go thankful that you nshard this with me. I have a great awareness now of what happened to you and maybe it is also a cautionary tale against using this type of yoga in some cases. > Cheers > Bill  >
