When is it elation and when do I need to be careful about mania? I don’t trust my experiences... is yoga and meditation safe for us?

I can’t tell the difference between

1. a coffee high and getting excited
   And 2. Beginning psychosis

I don’t know if spiritual imagery of feeling

• 4 chickens walking into my chest while meditating (the chickens are coming home to roost )
  Is 1. Normal and where they got the phrase from or

2. Total barking madness

About a year ago I’ve run away from yoga for 9 months because of one chakra opening in class because

1. It frightens me and
2. I know my mum wouldn’t approve

I’m becoming

1. more centred and independent of spirit
   And 2. Emotional and needy

I’m thinking about myself being a representation of death, because I didn’t have a child.

I’m sure a spiritual path carries risks but what about schizophrenia

[everhopeful]

I think meditation is just asking for trouble if you have schizophrenia.
