Joogan vaarat?
Robert Paul writes in "Suomen Lääkärilehti" [Finnish doctor magazine]
(5/85, p. 352) with the heading "Meditation psychosis - a new psychiatric disease?" as follows:
"With people who practice trancendental meditation or other introspective consciousness excercises there has been detected peculiar instances of psychic disease, that don´t fit into the framework of currently used diagnoses.
Common to the patients was, that during meditation or other autosuggestive activity they initially felt a strong discharge of energy, which the person observed to originate usually from sacral area and spreading powerfully elsewhere in the body. In classic yoga meditation this energy is known as kundalini.
After this phase of excitation the patients experienced inhibition - the feelings of darkness, emptines, fear and paranoia.
These feelings could last for a long time and eventually lead to a psychiatric disease and inability to take care for oneself.
Psychological testing revealed that the patients had several traits that can create suspectibility to psychoses, especially paranoia.
The writer sees that we are not talking about schizophrenia, especially since the patients had an awareness of the disease and they sought help.

Juu! Länsimainen ihminen ja varsinkin länsimainen lääketiede ovat varsin omituisia joskus.
Jos pääsee sattumalta syvään transsiin meditaation aikana, se saattaa kestää pitkään! Mutta mitä sitten? Meillä on 24h/vrk, josta pitää periaatteessa nukkua 1/3osa, tehdä työtä toinen mokoma ja vielä viettää nk. vapaa-aikaa 1/3 osa. Tämä on meidän länsimainen ongelma! Jos siis vapaa-aikana meditoit ja menet transsiin ja heräät siitä esim. 12h kuluttua, olet siis ehdottomasti psykoosissa! Näin meillä täällä!
...Ymmärsin toki mitä artikkelissa sanottiin! Suosittelen kuitenkin käyttämästä mitään stimulantteja meditaation apukeinona!
