Alchemistgeorge Posted September 29, 2012 After the recent thread on neigong induced psychosis, I thought I'd post this link - its an interesting medium length article about folks who are carried away by their enthusiasm for their spiritual development. Although written about India, I think it applies equally to neigong/qigong practice. Death on the Path to Enlightenment: Inside the Rise of India Syndrome  Every year thousands of westerners flock to India to meditate, practice yoga, and seek spiritual transcendence. Some find what they're looking for. Others give up and go home. A few become so consumed by their quest for godliness that it kills them.   For those who've never read it, I recommend Nancy Chen's book "Breathing Spaces" which discusses qigong induced mental illness and its treatment in contemporary China.
