Abstract
Traditional religious books contains rich anecdotal account out of in an instant arising experience happening during the meditation practice, but certified studies of such event is restricted. Early in the day works features often associated natural enjoy into the Indian antique contemplative thought of kundalini. Usually, descriptions away from kundalini emerge from Tantric schools regarding Pilates, in which this has been also known as a good rising time swinging during the backbone to the brain. Impulsive meditation enjoy have already started analyzed within Buddhist and you will Christian strategies and within this eclectic sets of contemplative therapists. Past explorations from kundalini has emphasized extreme knowledge, often having scientific effects. I used a primary such as data away from kundalini-associated event inside an example out of meditators from one Tantric Pilates society (called Ananda Marga) you to emphasizes new role regarding kundalini. We developed a semi-structured questionnaire to carry out a keen exploratory airplane pilot study out-of spontaneous neurological, system and you may affective event throughout meditation habit. As well as identifying the features away from personal feel, we measured quantity of reflection, extra techniques, attribute connect with and you will characteristic mindfulness. I applied it in order to 80 volunteers at several Ananda ong stated feel, i discovered the best frequency having positive mood shifts, with motor and then neurological feel. The fresh regularity away from impulsive skills was not connected with extent out of practiced reflection or characteristic procedures out-of mindfulness and you will connect with. Self-account included numerous definitions out-of ascending sensations, often are individually entitled kundalini. Enjoy with ascending feelings was in fact complex and some incorporated references so you’re able to self-confident affect, and additionally pretty happy services. There had been in addition to reports regarding spontaneous anomalous experience. Such experience out-of ascending feelings be like prior clinical descriptions that have been considered kundalini-related. The people whom said ascending feelings could not end up being notable of most other members in accordance with the chance out-of event, number of meditation practice, or characteristic steps of mindfulness and you will connect with. In contrast, better quantity of Tantric Pilates reflection habit is in the deeper confident apply at, less bad affect and you will greater mindfulness. After that study of these types of exploratory conclusions and just how they’re regarding spiritual and you can really-are goals away from meditation is warranted also medical data away from purported kundalini phenomena.
