Question #1637: Can I lift the kundalini with a crooked back?

[Ask Satya Operator]

my chest is out of place and it gives me pain in kundalini yoga and hatha yoga when I bend backwards and slightly forwards, I fear it will prevent me from becoming at least 1 level higher (not forgetting life, contact with gods) can I just lie down and electrically tense my muscles with my mind (this is my sith)Is this enough to raise the kundalini?

You could start by going to the doctor to help fix your back, do Sun Square to help hear your back too.

You need a healthy and strong body to raise such a force inside of you. While you might be able to achieve some higher states with unhealthy body you would also hurt yourself more by doing so. It is recommended that you heal yourself before you reach to higher states.
