(from "The Himalayan Master and the Sixth Sense: I Dared to Travel the Spiritual Path"):

Priyabhishek Sharma: My brother-in-law was a devotee of Maa Bagalamukhi - the eighth Goddess of Dasa Mahavidya. Sensing my penchant for the spiritual and occult, one day he said, "Why don't you learn Shakt Sadhana?"

"I don't know the procedure. It is also believed to be very strong and also dangerous if not properly done," I expressed my perception.

"It is dangerous only if you are not able to maintain discipline during the Sadhana period. But if a devotee has sincerity towards the Divine Mother, which you certainly have, then Mother's grace will fall on her children. When on an evolution path, we are traveling by bicycle in accordance with the cause-effect shaped by previous births, we are safe but slow," he explained. "But if you get a Ferrari for the same route, then the movement will be rapid but fraught with risks. Shakt Sadhana is also like a Ferrari." Such a noble soul, he was with wonderful persuasive skills.

Vira Chandra: words from "Aghora" of Swoboda come to my mind, "The Dakshina Marga is meant for those who seek steady progress with reduced danger of setbacks. The Vama Marga is  described as "Shighra, Ugra, and Tivra," or "fast, terrible, and intense." On this path, the chances for catastrophe are great unless a powerful Guru's protection is provided."

Vama Marga is "blood with tears" - it will simply kill the one who has taken up overwork - perhaps not only spiritually, but also physically. 

So thus it is extremely important to do proper sadhana and to soberly evaluate your level. Which is almost impossible without a Guru. The path of self-reflection and intuitive evaluation of what sadhana is good, and what sadhana is bad for you, is dangerous.
