Second opinion

[Ovauden]

I experienced a Kundalini awakening a couple of years ago. The energy has been active since then and I have had very low energy levels for the past several months. This does not allow me to do much. I have been taking the herb kratom to help with this and it seems to be the only thing that has given me the energy to get some things done such as brushing teeth and going on walks. I have stopped taking this before and am more than able to withstand the adverse side effects.

I consulted the I Ching and asked if I should continue taking kratom and the results were hexagram 6 (changing lines 3,5 & 6) changing to hexagram 32. Based on my understanding, it would be fine to continue taking the kratom but the sixth changing line in hexagram 6 has me second guessing myself as this is not something that I want to forever rely on. I do expect my energy levels to be optimal at some point though there are things I would like to get done without waiting for this to occur.

Thank you very much for reading my post. I will appreciate any thoughts and guidance that may be expressed by the readers.

I would read this is as saying it is helpful but perhaps not permanently. I've read a commentary on 6.6 that asks "is there no end to the striving" so I wonder if this is speaking toward a broader suggestion to seek out the true root of the issue so other sustainable measures can be put in place. (I should say, I know nothing about kratom so I'm neither for or against it personally.) Line 3 also made me wonder if you're connecting this exhaustion to a past kundalini awakening when in fact it's connected to something else. The correct course of action can be determined by understanding where this is coming from so either 1) you already know (the kundalini awakening) or 2) it would be helpful to identify the true source.

Just to add an edit: I also think this replies reads as saying you are more robust than it seems/feels right now. There is strength underlying but beyond that I am not sure given the current challenge of not having energy.

Thank you very much for the well though out reply. I must say that you inspired me to go ahead and get a checkup as it has been a while and this would probably have been put off if not for this casting. I've heard it said that when you have repressed fear, it can manifest as lethargy so it is possible that the source is related to Kundalini (which requires a great deal of inner work) or it could very well be an unrelated health issue.

Thanks so much again.

That seems like a very wise action. Sending you very good energy for that! Please do update and let us know how you are doing.
