I apologize if this topic has been covered before. I tried looking through a few pages and couldn't quite find it.
Although I stopped AYP about 1.5 months ago, I'm still experiencing energetic openings and sometimes this effects my mood and I can become irritable and easily upset.
I have often had a desire to let my parents (with whom I live) know just what it is what I do with my practices, what goes on, and what can go on inside me so they know why I sometimes can get the way I do. Although I try to be gentle and calm, sometimes it gets away from me, and I'd like to explain to mum that it's just energetic movement that needs time to balance but I don't know how to go about that conversation and to what extent I should explain what AYP is.
Part of this desire also stems, I think, from a both conscious and subconscious fear that one day I will have a full blown kundalini awakening and that my parents will be scared witless that I have broken my brain on drugs or something. I silently petition the divine mother for this not to happen. Mum has recently started doing yoga asanas on her own and has been reading 'The Power of Now' for about two years now so I don't think she's too resistant to these things, but I still am unsure how to go about it.
Franky, and I'm not sure why, part of me is very scared to do it. The notion of talking to my mother about such things as god or love scares me, even though we love one another. When I do hopefully eventually tell her, I think I won't unleash the full shabang, just give her a simplified rundown of what can happen when people meditation regularly and not really mention kundalini .
Anyway, I would appreciate if anyone had any advice, experiences or stories related to introducing your practices to those close to you and how it went.
Thanks for your time!
