Kriya Yoga: Experiencing headache while doing Maha Mudra

[Nichts]

Hey,

For about one or two weeks now, every time I do Maha Mudra, I experience headache. It happens right after bending forward, when I direct the energy back down. The headache starts at Medulla and then spreads out until it permeates  my entire head. 

I've been practicing Maha Mudra for more than a month now and at the beginning it all went smoothly. 

Has anybody else also experienced this? Is this normal? Or might I do something wrong?

I get headaches when I smoke weed sometimes but I find that they usually point me to tension I've been holding onto in my head so I find it useful

I do have headaches, too.

At the moment I have cut the exercise from my plan. I am going to practice without it for a month and then reintroduce. Hopefully it will help.

Headaches are common when there is more energy build up in the upper chakras than can be processed. Especially if you have kundalini. Can be quite common. Just relax and meditate less if it’s too much.
