There seems to be quite a bit of concern regarding Kundalini activation in the body. Individuals ask if it can be dangerous if awakened abruptly or before the body and mind are prepared. I can only speak from my own experience. For me, the sensations in the spine came on very gently for me…so gently that I was not able to associate anything with it. It seemed strangely familiar, and quite pleasureable, but I did not know how to maintain it. I felt like I was walking on air for a couple of weeks or so…until it went away…for years.
Fast-forward many years later, never forgetting the experience and wistfully thinking that a door that had once opened itself to me was now impossibly shut. However, to my great joy and for reasons I will not get into quite yet, the sensations returned. This time around, I was able to follow and feel the intensity of the vibrations back to the spine. Oh…my…God! Again, the feelings began very gently, but then built up into a crescendo of convulsive contortions of the body accompanied by hissing breaths…and yet with unimaginable sensations of pleasure and bliss!
Getting back to the question regarding whether or not Kundalini activations can be dangerous… Well, I believe there can be a danger if the body is not physically healthy and pliable, because the amount of energy going through it is quite high. It would be like having a body that is fit for 100 watts, but 1000 watts of power is trying to surge through. I also believe it important to have emotional baggage cleared out, because stagnant or stuck energy in the body can be quite painful when the energy surge finds any type of blockage.
The energy has its own wisdom, and especially when Kundalini moves through the body, it knows what to do, taking up certain postures and breathing patterns without our having to direct its flow. It is very much like a serpent spirit in the body, moving and undulating, twisting and squeezing…
Oh, and something else to consider… I believe I missed Her (Kundalini) for years because of her subtle, in-the-background presence, like white noise that I paid little attention too. Something that might help: pay attention to the finest sensation that you can feel in the spine and allow the breath to build up the sensation. Allow the body to assume whatever position it needs to, to magnify the feelings in the spine. The breath and body posture is not something that you think about, it just happens.
Hope this helps. Also, the visual for me regarding what is happening in the spine is that of a microscopic thread of pleasurable vibration that is being pulled through the spinal cord while the body naturally assumes certain “locks” or positions. This is a way of literally “following your bliss.”
I’ve gone through this recently but my entire body vibrated. It wasn’t soft it was intense I felt like I was floating and my eyes were shut and I couldn’t open them. I couldn’t control any part of my body. I only thought of holdi g myself down. And then it stopes. can you explain this to me. Please.
Thanks for sharing Vivien. I don’t think I can explain what you went through as it was your experience. I can only share from what I’ve gone through myself. For me, no matter how intense the Kundalini experience may get, there seems to always be the option to consciously stop it… but outside of some looming emergency, I would not choose to stop the pulsations of this blissful energy. There is, however, a sense of surrendering totally (a giving up control) to the ravishing vibration that moves so powerfully through the bodily field… and it stops only when it seems that every cell in the body, every fibre has been disassembled and then reassembled. Does this make sense to you?
I have experiencd the kundelini , unexpected one night , a loud crack and seeing a geometric pattern which my living entity was part of, no human body just one pattern/grid . since then i have experienced every emotion experienced in my life , it has been like a release of emotions held and infused in my spiritual DNA . 1 year later i,m reaching equilibrum and peace and having had what i call a stripping away of every concept and belief i held , replaced by a blank and empty vessel, this is a very odd but liberating feeling , detachment from all , like being in the world but not of it..my own thoughts are i,m but a grain of sand in the universe , i claim no power/insight to the meaning of life. just a deep knowing that all life is an illusion , manifested exclusively for expansion in the growth of the all.
Your article is most certainly well documented and quite interesting to read. The Kundalini Awakening experience is quite extraordinary in the fact that it bursts so much energy through the human matrix, to a point where it deconstructs and then reconstructs the energetic points and minor chakras. This is said to occur as a form of transitioning in order then feel the ethereal world much more sensitively.
