Automatic Kriyas - Kundalini

Summary

September 3, 2021, 21 min

Why automatic movements and shaking appear in meditation: deep practice brings subconscious body processes into awareness, and when the freeze response is shallow they spill into movement, much as in dreaming. Remedies include a longer outbreath, deeper freeze, OM Japa, and a nightly Huna-style prayer asking the subconscious and Higher Self to tone it down.
