A disorder called panic attacks will affect approximately 1.7% of adults, which is related to approximately 3 million people in the United States today (medicinenet.com). Unfortunately, the occurrence of panic attacks is more common in adolescents aged 15 to 19 years.
Panic attacks are a type of anxiety disorder that is sudden and unexpected and can be disabling. It is also often not triggered, however panic attacks are believed to be triggered by significant life stress but can be inherited in some cases. It is not known exactly what triggers a panic attack.
During the 1970s, those who were experiencing panic attacks and seeking treatment for some of the symptoms, such as feeling a possible heart attack, an extreme sense of fear, an overwhelming feeling of losing their mind, shortness of breath, nausea, and dizziness, they were often misdiagnosed in those days.
Doctors thought more along the lines of a mental illness than an anxiety disorder. Sometimes the episodes of panic attacks would be frequent and sometimes not so often. This reinforced the idea that it was all in their imagination for the doctors. This, in turn, often made the patient reluctant to seek help and suffered in silence.
Recent advances have helped to improve the situation. Treatments include psychotherapy and medications or both. Some of the best known medications are Klonopin, Paxil, and Xanax.
It is important to work with your doctor for these treatments. However, a new form of treatment is emerging.
This treatment is called Kundalini Awakening. This treatment also helps depression.
This is basically a rich source of psychic energy in the unconscious. Described as a serpent coiled at the base of the spine, classical literature called it Hatha Yoga Kundalini.
It is important to note that this is how yogis explain Kundalini, its network of channels and chakras, or micro movements in the brain. And, a latent form of spiritual energy, or Kundalini energy, is found at the base of the spine.
This energy is released through realization or spiritual advancement. Meditation, religion, or spiritual practices release this energy.
The same symptoms of a panic attack are the symptoms of Kundalini Awakening. Historically, the terrifying wave of feelings that people experience has tried to be stopped, either by the person himself or by doctors with medications.
Through the concept of Kundalini Awakening, these so-called panic attacks are actually manifestations of the micro-vibrations that are being stimulated. Instead of fighting these symptoms, it is important to give in to them and let them flow. In this way, recovery is possible as there will be no fear of symptoms.
Meditation is a way to release those fears. By understanding that internal energy is causing the heart palpitations and other symptoms, the patient will not fear that they are dying or going mad.
While Kundalini Awakening occurs or just after an awakening, the person will feel a sense of wonder, strong feelings of peace, emotional joy or reverence, a strong feeling of love or satisfaction, and a heightened sense of awareness. Some have even reported seeing a white light.
Basically all Yoga is considered to be Kundalini Yoga, but some people will use specific terms like Kundalini Yoga. It doesn’t matter, because in the end you are still awakening the kundalini with yoga.
There are 6 stages in Kundalini Awakening. 1, Prana-flows in Ida; 2, Prana flowed into Ida; 3, Prana made to flow in Sushumna; 4, the Kundalini energy is awakened; 5, Kundalini-leads upwards and finally Kundalini-rises to Sahasrara.
This gives the reader a basic understanding of Kundalini Awakening. It is essential to research other resources and instructors in the knowledge, training and process of Kundalini Awakening in order to understand the spontaneous awakening that usually occurs when you are alone, so that you can take control or be prepared for the so-called Panic Attack.
By working with personal problems and adjusting your thinking, you have controlled panic attacks better than traditional medicine.
