I all my years of work with the human energy field, I have only encountered 
one case of someone damaged by kundalini and that was artificially induced by a 
large energy field from an orgone device gone berserk.

I know of no case where someone was damaged by meditation. My feeling on 
this is that what occurs is a combination of diet and altitude, the lack of 
certain nutriments does seriously affect the brain and lack of oxygen does it no 
good as well. Combine that with lack of sleep, and certain obsessive 
personality traits and yes, you can get a real mess.

These symptoms were assumed to be caused by kundalini, but in fact they have 
a purely physiological origin. The reason we do not see such things in the 
west is largely due to the fact that meditators also tend to be very careful 
about diet, almost compulsively so, and they work at near sea level, so the brain 
gets lots of oxygen.

Now, if you combine the physiological factors with a teaching floating around 
that says, "If you do this you will go mad," the implantation of that in the 
subconscious predisposes folk to such a response, even if they consciously 
have the good sense to reject it. The moment the physiological factors kick in, 
the subconscious programming from their society does the rest.
