Hi I recently tried Sudarshan Kriya and experienced numbness, extreme lightheadedness and headache. I did some research and it says that it is hyperventilation. Is it dangerous to practice? does it cause brain damage?
Answer:
SUDARSHAN KRIYA is a safe technic and it is harmless in any manner. I feel you might not have followed to instructions or as thought in the classes. You should not do it all of a suddent fully and step by step increase has to be done. I am doing it and it is good.
Or you may be having some other physical problem. I suggest you to suspend it for some time and consult your physician or the instructor of Art of Living course. On taking their advice you can continue it. PLEASE DO NOT DO ANY RESEARCH YOURSELF and please follow the instructions.
It will not cause any damage to brain.
Now about SUDARSHAN KRIYA-
Sudarshan Kriya is a unique rhythmical breathing process that is said to have been revealed to Sri Sri Ravi Shankar during a spell of silent meditation that he had gone into for 10 days in 1982. The theory is that the kriya allows a healthy and pleasant mind to produce chemical messengers, which travel from the nervous system to the immune system, resulting in the overall betterment of both body and mind.
This kriya, as done at the Art of Living workshops, involves regulating one's breath to the sounds of So-hum ('So' for inhale and 'hum' for exhale)coming from the tape recorder in Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's voice. The entire kriya involves 3 rounds with each round having 20-40-40 of long, medium and short 'So' breaths respectively. The intensity of 'Hum' exhalation remains the same throughout the kriya.-
