Kundalini Awakening anyone ?

i agree with the fact that the use of the Kunadalini Power is something you must work with a very great respect for.
The first time i tried awaiking the kundalini "dragon" i couldn't control it so it took control of me instead, it took me half a year to get it calmed down again so i could live with out the great pains i had done to myself.

today i have learned to control the "dragon" but then i call it to come, i always have in mind that it got control of me befor so i don't take it to my higher chakra lvls.

 

Kundalini Awakening?

hmm, dunno...

gave someone a 'Kundalingus' black-out once!

 

I saw the kundalini snake once when I was young. So I know it's real, that it functions and that it's flowing. But other than that my experiences have not been anything like one finds in the basic tracts on the experience. My kundalini experience is that is smooth, blissful, constant, and never stops for anything. But as said, it definitely started at a certain time in my life - like when I was fifteen or something - actually right after I got initiated into TM. I'm not sure everyone gets that sort of initiation from TM, but my TM teacher was very full of shakti.

 

TM=Transcendental Meditation?

Oh I am glad to have a place to talk about this where it's listened to. A couple weeks ago as I meditated (about an hour), I think I drifted into sleep, and then out again, and when I woke up, my hearing had changed. I could hear things... oh how do I explain it?!

You know the typical hearing range? and you know how you can't hear a lot of extremely high-frequency things, but now and then you get a glimpse of them, like when you turn on a TV and you can hear that high-high-high pitched tone? Well, it was like, I had my normal hearing range, and then a whole new one on top of it. And I could hear the high-range things, screamingly loud. Like my ears could hardly handle it, but at the same time it wasn't damaging them, nor was it loud in the typical sense of the word.
I could feel my hands on my knees, and felt my breathing, and my body swaying slightly and someone in the kitchen--I definitely wasn't asleep.

Hmmm now that I think about it, I also had some experiences about a month ago where my smell-sense did the same thing. The thing was, I wasn't meditating and I didn't connect it to this. This happened three times: I woke up around 5am feeling extremely nauseous. I'd stumble to the loo and throw up (basically saliva with a bit of food sometimes) for around an hour. The strange thing was, my sensitivity to smells was like nothing I've ever experienced or imagined possible before! All the smells completely overwhelmed me, smells that I had either been completely unaware of before, or just peripherally aware of. I read that 'morning sickness' is exactly like this, except, and this I'm sure of, I'm not pregnant.

Someone teach me!

 

I am currenlty undergoing a kundalini awakening. Happened spontaneously while having sex with my wife. I was high on pot but other than that, had no experience with meditation, acid trips or the kind. since then, my life has changed completely. Are any others going through a similar experience? would like to share stories.

 

To the original poster - watch Anna Brett and Ravi Singh's "Kundalini Yoga: For Beginners and Beyond" CD, and follow along. If you put your heart into it, I guarantee that by the time you get through the warm-ups you'll be convinced that it's real. That much change, that fast, is a little spooky to me. I think I'll wait until I can find a competent teacher before I explore any deeper.

But, damn, I felt great. I just didn't feel like I was in control, and that was an uncomfortable feeling.

 

Kundalini is a very powerful thing. I have had a lot of Kundalini Awakening type things happen when i've used mushrooms. It's a very powerful,white,female force that you have to respect.

 

I think I have partially raised my kundalini one time when I was working with my sexual energy, drawing it up my spine to my other chakras. I had been working with it like this for some time. Then one day I suddenly and unexpectedly felt this hot, "snaking" feeling winding its way up through me. It didn't exactly feel like it was located in my spine but it felt like something physical actually pushing its way up through me starting at the root chakra. It made me feel "full" where it was winding through me. It only went up to about my heart chakra and after awhile it went back down. It scared me at first. I had no idea what was happening but I was able to calm down and just give into the experience. It was very different than anything I have ever experienced.

Working with my sexual energy and brief periods of meditation are the only things I had done at that time. I had not started doing yoga at that point, but I can see where it could really help with raising kundalini.

 

here is what you have to look forward to once you have an awakened kundalini. (These are my personal experiences. Others may not have all of these but they will definitely be similar ones)

1) A greater feeling of oneness with the divine. As someone that never gave much thought to God or religion before, this has been a 180 degree turnaround. The question "Is there a God?" will no longer arise in my mind due to intense personal experience of the divine during the first few days of my awakening.

2) A complete disassociation with everyday mundane life and existence as we know it. Its exactly like in "The matrix" when one wakes up to the real world. You still live in this world and have a human form, but somewhere deep inside, there is a realization of the illusory nature of it all and/or the existence of a greater reality that supercedes the one we normally perceive.

3) Visions, images of deities, experiences of coincidences (synchronicities), events occuring to complete ones wishes, psychospiritual abilites to read minds, or more prominently, an increase in empathy and the ability to read emotions of other people, no matter how well they are hidden below the surface.

4) A constant pulsating release of energy along one's spine, which increases in intensity when i listen to music. i have changed my music listening habits. Went from rock and rap to more complex and harmonious music such as Indian Classical and Western Classical, Jazz, trance music etc.

5) An emotional rollercoaster that burns through all past memories, especially repressed emotions and things that one is ashamed of. It is all brought to light by the mind before being burned away. A process of ego-dissolution that can be scary sometimes, but is helped by actively surrendering to the divine energy that guides it.

6) An inability to connect to people from your life pre-awakening. Especially if one has ben an ego-driven person, one wonders how one collected other competitive, ego-driven 'friends' around oneself. One seeks others that seek the divine.

7) An increase in creativity. In my case, i was compelled by an urge to go out and buy a digital SLR camera and start taking pictures. In 6 months, I now make pictures that will soon be exhibited in a local coffee shop/art gallery. I was a photographer before my awakening but not a very good one, the unlocking of creativity post-awakening was like someone removing a blindfold from my eyes and let me really see with clarity.

8) One gets a better sense of the unity underlying all religions. They all say the same thing and the differences are only superficial. The differences are put in place by people that are more interested in power and subjugating others than in a true encounter with the divine.

Overall, A Kundalini awakening is not something that one should attempt with force, but with gentle longing for the divine. It can be helpful to have a Guru or teacher to guide one through the process but the force awakens only if it senses that the conditions are right and is a lot wiser than us humans can comprehend. So if it does awaken without a guru, stop resisting the changes in you and listen to your inner voice. Above all, surrender to the divine force.

Hope this helps. i would love to hear from others with similar experiences.

Namaste Flying Higher,
Well, its about time someone who is on the same page with me about serving the Devi Kundalini spoke out. You are right on the divine target. Everything you say is basically totally indicative of the concrete and superb realizations that are experienced when the Devi is allowed to move into Sahasrara and Her Lord Shiva. I recently published a book about my experiences with the Devi called "Kundalini Dream" and can be viewed for review on my website admin@kundalinidream.org.
Seeking and experiencing the Kundalini is the goal of human existence and the pinnacle of religious and spiritual experience. But to know this, one must experience it for oneself.
Also, there alot of moves the Devi can do which "do not" net in the depth and level of stuff we're talking about, drugs are bad about this. The Devi should be aroused and fructified through a complete yoga Sadhana.
Anyway, I'd be interested in further communications. namaste, Om Tat Sat, Yogin Bhairava Atmabhoda Sarasvati

 

Thanks Yogi Bhairava. I have sent you an email. My initial awakening experience was under the influence of marijuana and while i had an intense sexual experience with my wife. however, as time goes by, I have given up alcohol as well as weed. I am not against those things and may indulge once in a while, but i dont feel the need to do them regularly anymore, especially alcohol.

After the initial experience, not a single day has gone by that I have not meditated and read books about matters spiritual. I have had times where i underwent spontaneous 'asanas' and i undergo kriyas on a daily basis when I meditate or listen to music.

 

Maithuna is the practice of sexual intercourse in order to awaken the kundalini energy and the intention of this practice is to focus on the third-eye chakra and to take attention away from the lower chakras. Your lower chakras must already be awakened in order to successfully do this practice and it takes a lot of preperation typically through kriya yoga to have your chakras balanced in away that is conducive for the rise of kundalini. This is an advanced and very powerful way of awakening the kundalini and for males, you need to have complete control and awareness of your body. With this practice you do not wear a condom and you do not ejaculate... you are uniting the energy of both siva and sakti, not having sex for pleasure although this practice has the potential to be extremely pleasurable. Since it is a sacred communion, you do the practice with a partner that you perceive to be sacred-- your lover.. someone you have a special connection with. And there are certain practices that males do for at least 6 months to prepare their sexual organs and central nervous system for this experience and certain practices females do.

Anyone interested in awakening their kundalini or maithuna I'd recommend that you pick up Swami Satyananda Saraswati's book Kundalini Tantra.

 

A facinating book on this is "Kundalini - The Evoluntionary Energy in Man" by Gopi Krishna. It is the story of one ordinary man whose meditation practices awakened the spiritual energy of Kundalini quite by accident. He had no expectation and no idea at all as to what was happening to him. It actually eroded his health because he had not had any spiritual guidance. It took him years to integrate this powerful spiritual energy. He reports some really miraculous experiences. He eventually founded an Institute to investigate it from a "scientific" point of view. His writing is very straightforward - almost like a reporter and many here would find it interesting.

Half a Hippie - you should keep the signature line simply because its what YOU feel. But I hope you haven't concluded there is no truth to spiritual experience because some in their ignorance have wrought great suffering in its name. That would be to miss the most profound core at its very heart. Some only practice shariat - superficial adherence to religious rites and ceremonies - without real transformation. But genuine spiritual/religious experience is something else entirely.

 

Wow. thank you so much. I now know what I have been going through for the past while. I had no clue what a kundalini awakening was until I got into this thread. I was actually wondering what I have been going through; looking for answers without google searching and I found this thread.

I have experienced all 8 except that I haven't really seen my lower or higher selves yet. I have seen a wolf a few times, but I don't know why I have been seeing it yet. I do know that I have a higher self connection because I asked to prove that we were connected and I got 6 coincidences in a row within a couple hours.

I also have been humming without realizing it and I also have been doing tai chi and yoga moves without making myself do them. Is this connected with the awakening?

So many things has changed for me. It feels like a just let a huge load of my shoulders. I feel more outgoing and not so trapped. I now know I that there is more to me then just my ego and I am just reaching for the random. I have the desire to go deeper into my unconscious. It's so beautiful.

During these awakenings I feel one with everyone and everything. I feel that I am pure love and light. Everything around me is kinda cloudy white or brighter and I hear this higher frequency of sound. My whole body feels like its in ecstacy. I also would start crying because of how amazing everything is. Its just a perspective that is so hard to put into words. Theres so much more though. It's so mindblowing.

 

Hi. I would like to make sure that I have actually awakened the kundalini. Here is everything that has happened to me. Recently, it has been really heavy. I dont know about anyone else, but I had really heavy feelings and a really wide awareness like one would get from ecstacy or even psychedelics for about 48 hours now:

in no specific order
-shaky hands
-teeth chattering
-ecstacy
-a jump in awareness. I've had jumps in awareness before, but nothing like this
-increased patience
-a feeling that everything is love and light
- a feeling that my body is love and light
-whoosing sound or even a vibrating kinda sound
-humming without thinking about it
- doing some yoga and tai chi moves without realizing it
- going to sleep at 3am and waking up at 8am full of energy
- loss in appetite
- faster and slower heartrates
- deeper breathing
- decrease in dualities, almost like good and evil don't exist
- really feel like a kid again
- talking to people is hard sometimes.
- able to concentrate when I have to, but other then that I'm out in space somewhere
- a feeling like I disconnected from reality and reconnected to a way better and wider reality
- connection with higher and lower self.
- seeing/feeling that everyone being separated is an illusion
- understanding that both dark and light are necessary
- understanding that both pain and pleasure are necessary for growth
- prana flow all over the body
- an electrical current in the body, its got this burning kinda feeling, if feels like my hands are going to shoot out lightening
- a crawling feeling in my hands
- points on the body that I feel the most:heart, throat, forehead, middle of the head, nose, spine, base of the spine.
- increase in hypnagogic images
- increase in the number of dreams per night and symbols in dreams
- increase in visions
- laughing for no reason at all
- weeping in joy and amazement
- orgasmic feeling in the body and head. It feels so great that its not really necessary to have sex. I haven't lost the desire for sex, but I'm not rushing out to have sex either.
- pain in fingers and knees sometimes (on and off, i dont know, its hard to explain)
- sometimes I get some pressure in my skull, but its not a bad feeling
- heightened frequency, heightened consciousness
- its a feeling of being home
- extreme sensitivity to dancing. A different flow in dancing.
- a desire to write. I have never written poetry, but I have all these amazing dream like symbolic images in head waiting to get on paper.
- a way better understanding of symbols and dreams. Its like a second language to me.

bad experiences

- sometimes my ego doesn't want to move from the old way to the new way
- because of this it has caused me to sometimes lose it a little because I dont know anyone else that has been through this. I save myself though because I think to myself that everything that is happening to me right now, pain or pleasure, is necessary for growth.
- i have the desire to move forward and egoless as possible, but it actually is kinda hard, but I'm trying my best to just let this all flow.

I would like to meet people that feel the same.

 

sounds like your removing blocks from pne or more of your chakras more than a kundalini awakening... when kundalini rises you know.

 

ive been working with chakras and feeling them for several months. I have had prana flow in my body for months but I never had an in your face awareness like this before, I never had a feeling like this before. I have had jumps in awareness but nothing like this. I have been within the merkaba for a few months so maybe its just that, but after reading more on kundalini awakenings they have sound pretty similar to what i have read on the merkaba.

Trust me, this wasn't really something that was planned or expected so soon.

 

Maybe it was a kensho? I had one of those. You know, something werid seems to be happening. How long have you been practicing mediation/yoga?

 

you know... you guys aren't really explaining to me why you feel that I am experiencing something else or not. I'm very interested in both of your views so don't be shy in sharing them with me.

I just said how long I have been meditating for. I started feeling prana in my chakras and body after I activated my merkaba http://www.starlight-events.net/content/view/27/83/ several months ago.

I don't know much about any of this. What is kensho? and how does it differ from a kundalini awakening?

 

Several months is not an exact number. A kensho is a temporary glimpse into enlightenment. You're actually describing a kundalini awaking. Congrats. If you search online more, you'll find others who describe similar experiences. Are you still feeling this?
