Dear Gregor,
IMO, most of Gopi Krishna's problems arose from fear. Instead of
surrendering to the energy, he dwelt on fear of going mad and being consumed
by the heat. He seemed reluctant to let go of his ego.
He found that walking helped, and also drinking milk seemed to calm his
system. Perhaps that's one reason cows are so sacred in India! :))
However, unlike Gopi Krishna who was at first unaware of what was going on,
we, today, have a lot more information at our disposal!
He wrote: "I did not know then what I came to grasp later on--that an
automatic mechanism, forced by the practice of meditation, had suddenly
started to function with the object of reshaping my mind to make it fit for
the expression of a more heightened and extended consciousness ..."
He also found that he needed to eat small meals every three hours to keep his
stomach from being empty. In my experience panic attacks are relieved by
this also.
Here is the relevant passage about the different channels from Gopi Krishna. "Could it be that I had aroused Kundalini through pingala the solar nerve
which regulates the flow of heat in the body and is located on the right side
of shushumna? ...as if by Divine dispensation the idea flashed across my
brain to make a last-minute attempt to rouse ida, the lunar nerve on the left
side, to activity, thus neutralizing the dreadful burning effect...
"I brought my attention to bear on the left side of the seat of kundalini and
tried to force an imaginary cold current upward through the middle of the
spinal cord. In that extraordinarily extended, agonized, and exhausted state
of consciousness, I distinctly felt the location of the nerve and strained
hard mentally to divert its flow into the central channel. Then, as if
waiting for the destined moment, a miracle happened.
"There was a sound like a nerve thread snapping and instantaneously a silvery
steak passed zigzag through the spinal cord, exactly like the sinuous
movement of a white serpent in rapid flight, pouring an effulgent, cascading
shower of brilliant vital energy into my brain, filling my head with a
blissful luster in place of the flame that had been tormenting me..." p. 162

Good luck!
