Hi Dawn,

Thank you for your sharing the Kundalini techniques. It sounded so mysterious before, but you explained it so clearly. It is a very mind practice and easy to follow. Thank you for being so generous.

Hi, when clasping the hands and practicing the “propeller” motion, my shoulders are a bit creaky. Although this felt great afterwards, I am curious if others experience the creaky knots and if this is typical.

Thank you for your calm detailed guidance. Kundalini can be a little intimidating to me, but you made it a lovely experience.

Hello Nyamyj,
Yes, the creaky feel in the shoulders is sometimes experienced with this movement, and nothing to be alarmed about. Be a little more gentle with the movement when the shoulders feel creaky, and, if you feel any pain, visualize the movement instead of continuing the movement with the pain. Sat Nam, Dawn

Thank you so much Dawn for getting my chakras to balance and move more freely. I have been trying to find a way to progress in my life and not be stuck in my fears or patterns that just work against me. I feel your program will be a big help. I have to work my way to be able to sit on my heels because the front ankles aren't used to being stretched out in that position for long. Any suggestions? Also even though I don't have a cold one of my nostrils was pretty tight and hard to get air in. As we progressed the insides of my nostrils felt sore from the air passing through. Any suggestions for that?

Hello Tiel,
You are so welcome, and I'm glad the program is a support for releasing fear and stuck patterns that hold you back.
For sitting on the heals, I suggest sitting your pelvis on a bolster (lengthwise) between the heals/calves/knees. Add as much padding under or on top of the bolster until you feel comfortable releasing all your weight into the support, with the ankles feeling comfortable as well. This will release pressure on the front of your ankles. Start with a short amount of time, and slowly work your way up to more time (in the shape/asana). Then eventually, release one layer of padding at a time, as the ankles start to release and feel more comfortable, with your pelvis sitting closer and closer to the height of your heels until one day, you can sit comfortably on your ankles! However, you may find that you may always use the support of the bolster and padding for this 'shape/asana' of sitting on the ankles, and this is fine - maybe your body will not want to sit directly on the ankles in this life time!
As far as the one nostril getting pretty tight and airflow feeling constricted - was there a particular pranayama you were doing? If so, let me know and I can give you more guidance. Generally, if you notice constriction in a nostril, stop the breathing exercise as soon as you feel the constriction. Continue to practice the breathing every day (if it is part of your daily practice), but only up to the point of feeling the constriction, and then stop for the day. Over time this will shift. Do not continue to breath through the constriction.
I hope that helps! Feel free to email me for clarification or more questions. Warmly, Dawn www.dawnrabey.com

I really enjoyed this. It as long and hard for me to find time to do it all and difficult mentally for me to make the space this long. But I know that's good forme. I learned a lot and was surprised by how well I could sustain the breathing.
