I have a question relative to prescriptions and whether it is advised to not take prescriptions while having active kundalini. I was off meds when kundalini awakening occured. But then a 30 yo autoimmune diagnosis flared. Then menopause and related symptoms started. MD is suggesting starting HRT. My NP is against it but he has never been through menopause either.

Medications sometimes make sense
I am in peri menaupose, still taking the pill till age 50
Then definitely will switch to HRT
Main stream medicine is not always good
Nor natural ways of healing
I say to follow your inner voice
For me, menaupose without HRT is torture

My ND who is versed in Ayurveda, Master Herbalist and Acupuncturist reminded me that the meds for the autoimmune dx were from the bark of a tree. But I know there are other synthetics in there. Long term use can cause very negative effects though. It has been long term for me.
He does not however suggest HRT. He had an Naturopath practice in a hospital and worked directlywith oncologists. He cited cases of HRT and cancer development. I have been on HRT for a bit over a year which has its own negative side effects. Which keeps getting adjusted and “wait 3 more months”. I never had hot flashes. Insomnia had resolved for the most part. Brain fog, joint pain and atrophy.
My MD was more concerned about brain & heart issues surrounding decline in estrogen. “The studies have shown”. Who funded the studies?
I mean our ancestors never used rx. Herbs was all they used. Somehow they managed. I did read a book on the supposed bad science on HRT which apparently was damning enough to remove the black box warning.
I believe there is a place for modern medicine acute injuries etc. But when you go to the root of Pharmakia, the motivating principle to drugs seems to be motivated by 
treating symptoms, not supporting health. Centralized medicine just compounds their power. Little to no nutritional advise or lifestyle change recommendations. Deeply funded lobbyists wearing down the justice system when things go awry. Negative side effects buried.
Just going on a rant. I am just so disillusioned with the world in general rn.
I am taking antidepressiva and related medications. Long time, I tried without medications bc in spiritual communities often medications (espiacially anti-depressiva) wasn´t recommended. So, I have done practises without medications (5 Years), and now doing them with medications. (4 Years) Kundalini/or the energetic dynamic was active since the beginning, and has increased progressive and massively.
To be honest with you, there is not really a difference or a change noteable. Actually they help me to get more active in life, which has helped me spiritiually.
So, my suggestion and opinion is that whenever a doctor (ideal more doctors) says to take something, do it.
So, of course I know people who have bad experience with medications and kundalini. My opinion is that mostly it is because they believe it will affect them negatively (placebo or nocebo-effect). Of course there are real side of medications effects, too.

Our ancestors died very young.. not even reaching 30 or 40
I don’t trust doctors and big pharma and they are only motivated by money .As I said your call. For me HRT is the way for menaupose …but for example chemotherapy is out of the question, I prefer to die…it is a personal choice
Hi everyone
I can contribute my experience with HRT:
It has been all positive and possibly the best decision I’ve made in the last decade.
I continue to be cautious about drugs in general and will not take painkillers for example unless I’m in serious pain. Side effects of drugs are always on my mind and - like all yoga practitioners - I’m especially wary of all psychoactive substances.
I see hormones as a special kind of drug. They are substances that our bodies produce and need. And the medical science has come to a point where the hormones in pills and pumps mimic the real thing so well. Yes, 20 -30 years ago HRT was a very difficult decision for a woman. Nowadays, the list of cons has dwindled.
I’ve been on oestrogen + progesterone for about 3 years. Since I felt the benefits of HRT so clearly, I thought I’d try including testosterone too. In the session when I discussed it with my women’s health consultant, we joked that she was going to make me feel 20 again. Well, it’s early days yet, as I’ve started with a low dose and I’m feeling my way with it, but I have to say the joke might turn out to have been a prediction. It looks like testosterone is definitely staying, I’m only to work out my dose.
I wish you luck with your decision. For those who want to give HRT a go, I’d say: Start low and see how you feel. Increase the amounts very gradually and find your optimal dose (you might need precision scales, as the dosing of the pump is rather broad brush). The awareness you’ve developed through yoga will come in handy - you will feel the effects of the hormones on the body, so you’ll know what to do.
All the best to everyone
