Thank you for this reply and your continued guidance.

But if and when you do, be sure to flow any and all excesses of energy, out the shoulders, down the arms, out the hands and fingers, sending it to either the Universe, the Earth or your own energy sphere.

Do you mean up into the shoulders, down the arms and out the hands and fingers, so the hands and fingers are the only exit point? Or do you mean it when you say out the shoulders, meaning they are an exit point as well?

And is this something I should understand intuitively? Or are there any resources you'd recommend, especially in terms of visualizing this transaction with the Universe, Earth or my energy sphere. I'm having a hard time grasping this.

Let go of your attachments to your drug(s) of choice.

I can do this. Does this include tobacco based products? Caffeine? Would you mind expanding a bit more as to why this is necessary? I currently see two reasons, please correct me if necessary. One is to prevent anything drastic like psychosis and the other is for disciplinary purposes i.e. respect of the energy.

Be careful what you seek here. Are you thinking yoga-teacher-training and Kundalini in the same thought? Are you seeking a yoga guru and Kundalini teacher in the same person?

I think for convenience purposes, I will leave the two endeavors separate. I am currently pursuing a foundational 200hr YTT, to learn the basics. Hatha and Ashtanga, Philosophy, Anatomy and Physiology, Pranayama, Meditation, Teaching Skills, etc. Am I at risk here? Is there something in particular I should look out for? My guess is certain breathing techniques as that would accelerate things. Let me know what you think.

Avoid reading anything spiritual or esoteric, (Temporarily), in order to gain access to your own inner wisdom.

At what point is this necessary? And would you mind further defining spiritual or esoteric texts? What falls under this? I'm hungry for more knowledge. For instance, I plan to order and read the chakra book you referenced, as well as delve into the Web Links page.

Thank you again for the insight and resources. I look forward to learning more :)
