My Grounding Crisis Story

Summary

, 17 min

An account of an ungrounding crisis in the ashram: all-day focus on the spiritual eye, spinal breathing without OM Japa or Navi Kriya, and a Kundalini awakening that brought hours-long headaches and night terrors. The story leads into the three insurance policies, the balance of heaven and earth, and a grounding exercise of lying on the floor and surrendering.
