Being challenged when energy is high

[oildrops]

I tend to dislike complainy threads, so I'll try not to talk about my specific problems too much. What I have noticed is that when my energy is high, and I am able to function in new ways, physically, psychically, and in society, the challenges continue to grow. I have been practicing kundalini yoga and SFQG daily, and I have noticed a huge positive change in my life. However, I think I may become overconfident, or arrogant at times, and have been noticing huge flaws in my personality and actions. I like to think of myself as a humble person, but I also want to be happy and energetic, which I never realized can actually cause problems. I can handle the energy flux, but I feel that I need more self discipline and control to keep myself contained, or I am going to get myself in trouble. I have recently gotten back into dating, and this is where I need to learn to keep the intensity down most.

 

Does anyone else notice that when your energy levels are particularly high for a few days in a row, the proverbial shit hits the fan at some point, and it just seems like the universe is trying to balance things out? Or am I missing something?

yin and yang cycle of progress and regress, showing your light talking about how great you are etc makes you very yang which requires a cycle of yin or destruction..

 

I think

yeah. i go through the same thing. as a rule of thumb if i ever get to energy high and start to have thoughts like "i am gaining so much power" i remind myself to do some grounding and training in morality. if i put all my intention into feeling cool it goes to that, and i eventually crash. if i ground in morality and responsibility i maintain the energy for much longer

The path will continue to place challenges in your way according to what level you are at...it is likely that this will continue until the day we die. It's a very important part of life and for cultivating virtue. Self knowledge is and intrinsic part of growth.

Hum, I get maybe something like this. It visualises/feels like I have all of me but with the ends chopped-off-like.

And I do remember the chopped off ends but I don't know what they are.Oftentimes seems they'd be worth having back, but tradition rid us of them.

 

---sorry about that opinion--
