I recently met a very nice fellow from India who had some interesting things to say about schizophrenia. He has consented to allow me to reprint his notes here, along with some of the discussion surrounding them in this space. Note that what he has to say may not be helpful to everyone but it may be helpful to some... Quote:

My own response... Schizophrenia has trigger in tragedy. Yes, that's certainly been my experience although I accept it may not be valid in every single instance. Nonetheless, the role between trauma and schizophrenia seems to be much more than causal... Quote:

Can you explain more about - what is a 'balanced chakra' I looked it up on Wikepedia but I'm still confused - is it a prayer or massage?? Is it done to you or do you do it yourself? Very interesting and thanks for sharing.

In order to understand more about chakras, it might be helpful to look at the concept of kundalini... Quote:

Balanced chakra:
LYANN P: let me try to simplify chakra system. I know a lot of material exist on the net to the extent that there is almost no need to read the book on this topic. however here are my 2 cents which helped me understand it better.... We all are vibrating body and nothing is solid in this universe ( as per quantum physics). It is also believed that light is sound and sound is light and we are source of energy. Recall Einstein's equation E=MC. It is during the birthing process we become mass from energy... Now, our body has 7 points in our body ( look at the diagram above). These 7 points are major energy source and correspond to 7 colors, 7 sounds and dis eases or healthiness of specific part of the body... When these chakras ( points) vibrate in union with each other, they work towards your optimal destiny.. if they are out of synch, then you begin to feel various negative emotions depending upon which chakra went out of order. now how do they go out of balance?? you trusted a friend with your money and when next day you went to him and asked for money back, he refused to recognize him.. now, there are few things which you can do...get angry and recover money, fight for your right and file complaint with police... cry and feel cheated regardless, if you land up saying now you have learnt a lession and you will never make friends ever in your life...and close yourself, then your second chakra will go out of order because desires to have friends has not disappeared, you have just shut yourself...so gradually, it has potential to form a dis ease in your body... however, if you learn a lession that you will never go blind trusting people and yet continue to have friends ... you are moved up in your frequency.. and if you without loosing your cool, pursue your friend and recover your money, your 4th chakra will begin to vibrate higher and you will have so much confidence about yourself that you will go and take more bigger challenges in life... so you can now lift your energies up and take control of your life... so we make choices and we create belief system and acordingly our chakra come in balance or out of balance... hope this helps you somewhere... |

If I understand you correctly Naveen, what you are saying is that life experiences can either bring the chakras into balance or create imbalance within them. It's been my own observation that among the many "schizophrenics" I've spoken with over the years there is nearly always a triggering event that seriously challenges their sense of self-identity to the extent that the ego fractures, shatters, fragments, collapses. Sometimes this event may appear to be quite insignificant to those around that individual but it will always be of critical importance to that individual. If people can identify such a trigger, I feel it's nearly always to their benefit to address those issues. Once the ego collapses, contents from the personal and collective unconscious spill past the egoic boundaries that had been keeping them at bay. This can be very frightening, terrifying even, but it also possesses the opportunity to address repressed material and even to enter some transpersonal states. This is why some psychotic episodes are identified as healing and beneficial to some. __________________ ~ Kindness is cheap. It's unkindness that always demands the highest price. |
