Can Kundalini Make You Sick

Kundalini energy awakening is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that can be powerful, enlightening, and extremely healing.

Before we get into Kundalini syndrome, let's have a look at how Kundalini awakening works.

While there isn't a serpent at the base of your spine (that would be weird), the energy within you is similar.

It lays asleep at the base of your spine in a coiled mass until you do something to wake it up and drag it up along the Sushumna Nadi (aka energy channel that runs along your spine).

But it's not like it'd happen completely by chance. Mantras (such as the Adi Mantra), yoga postures, meditation, and pranayama breathing all help to awaken your Kundalini energy.

Different routines can aid in the opening of your chakras, which operate as gates along that energy line.

And if you're not careful, this shift in energy may be rather powerful, resulting in a slew of problems known as ‘Kundalini syndrome.'

When the raw life force of Kundalini (or snake energy) rises in the human body at a rate that the body cannot tolerate, these symptoms appear.

After a Kundalini awakening, many people may experience undesirable side effects and symptoms that resemble mental disease or even physical agony.

What are Kundalini symptoms?

Kundalini, as divine feminine energy, is normally latent in the root chakra (base of the spine). However, there are a variety of circumstances in which kundalini might be awoken unexpectedly, ranging from trauma to drug use to years of focused practice (such as through tantra or kundalini yoga).

I've separated kundalini awakening symptoms into two categories: “bright” and “dark” symptoms. Please keep in mind that kundalini energy is neither good nor bad; it is simply a fundamental power that exists within us. However, some of these experiences are pleasurable, while others are highly painful to the human mind:

‘Light' Kundalini Awakening Symptoms

• You have phases of Oneness during which your compassion for people grows.
• You're motivated to make significant, life-changing decisions and genuine changes in your life.
• The amount of synchronicity (meaningful or miraculous coincidences) increases dramatically.
• Your empathetic powers improve, and you are able to feel things deeply.
• You continue to receive large, cosmic “downloads” of data (soul communication)

‘Dark' Kundalini Awakening Symptoms

• External stimuli (bright light, TV violence, loud noises) cause your nervous system to become hypersensitive, and it shuts down or desires utter solitude.
• You are experiencing visual distortions that can be disconcerting (e.g., objects seeming to vibrate)
• Your body is suffused with strong heat, tremors, or electricity.
• You can't tell what's real from what's imagined (psychosis) and think you're going insane.

Other Kundalini Awakening Symptoms

The kundalini awakening indicators listed above are quite typical. However, as someone who has had kundalini energy travel through them, I can tell you that it does not happen in the same manner for everyone.

For example, one of the most recent experiences I've had was preceded by two weeks of low-level thoughts of ‘impending doom,' followed by the gentle movement of kundalini energy from my brain down through my body into my stomach. The energy was light, like a gentle breeze, and it seemed like it was ‘working' on something in my stomach when it reached it. Then it dissolved and gone.

What does Kundalini do to the body?

Kundalini awakening is characterized by the following characteristics. Sensations of ‘energy' moving or imprisoned in specific regions of the body, most commonly the chakra points. This process may become ‘visible' to the experiencer in some way. The energy is too strong or uncomfortable to tolerate, and it is frequently accompanied by shaking, jerking, or spasms.

What happens when Kundalini is activated?

Kundalini energy sits like a coiled serpent at the base of the spine, according to Tantra. Kundalini awakening occurs when dormant energy flows freely upward via the seven chakras (energy centers) and leads to an expanded level of consciousness.

A kundalini awakening is a profound spiritual event for which yogis and practitioners prepare for years. The experience can occur deliberately through activities like as meditation, pranayama, yoga, and prayer, or it might occur unexpectedly. In the spiritual world, this form of awakening is very common, although in Western civilization, kundalini awakenings are regarded uncommon.

What does a Kundalini surge feel like?

• You are able to see that we consciously build our reality by transcending the dual nature of the mind.
• You are filled with love and compassion for everything around you, and you recognize yourself as an integral part of it all.
• Your mind is notably calmer, and you've developed a new ability to concentrate on one topic at a time.
• Your mind has the ability to watch, discern, and witness (thanks to an open crown chakra).
• Problems from the past, including past trauma, no longer have the same impact on you. You remember them, but they don't bother you any longer.
• You may have wonderful physical sensations, similar to a full-body orgasm, but more sensuous than sexual.
• You've gained new strength and clarity, and you're no longer afraid to make beneficial changes in your life.
• It's possible that your body will quake. (This can happen if your Kundalini is rising but your chakras are blocked, preventing the energy from flowing.)
• The back of your neck is hot. (This, too, is an example of rising Kundalini energy not flowing properly, according to Rebelle.)
• You're having difficulty sleeping. (This is yet another example of what might occur when Kundalini rises in a body with clogged chakras.)

Can Kundalini cause psychosis?

According to those sources, kundalini should only be awakened gradually and under the supervision of someone who has first-hand experience with it; otherwise, a kundalini awakening in a body and soul that has not been properly prepared can have negative consequences, such as insanity.

What are the stages of Kundalini awakening?

An old style of life will no longer work during a Kundalini Awakening. Personal crises, changes of attitude, tastes, likes, and dislikes can all occur in people.

This had already happened to me in the United States. For me, the life I was living there was insufficient. My feet were itchy, and my relationship began to come apart as I yearned for a new life. It wasn't enough that I lived in a beautiful little town with foxes, chipmunks, Aspen trees, and snow-capped mountains. I flew home on my own in the end. Life as I had left it didn't fit when I returned home. Things that used to make me happy were no longer making me happy. My gaze was drawn to a new horizon.

I became really ill, waking up one night with a fever and severe chills that rendered me unable to move or walk. I was transported to the hospital because I couldn't stand up on my own. With excruciating body aches (especially in my hips), fever, and physical weakness, I stayed there for two nights. I was eventually well enough to leave the hospital without a diagnosis after IV antibiotics, X-rays, and observation. I have no idea what was wrong with me to this day, but I believe it was one of the Kundalini Awakening Stages.

What happens when your crown chakra is open?

The notion of chakra may be traced back to Hinduism's early traditions and refers to the energy wheels that run through our bodies that can only be seen, felt, and sensed by intuition. The crown chakra is one of the seven main chakras, and it is responsible for thought, wisdom, and connection to the Divine.

Physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual symptoms might occur as your crown chakra opens. Tingling in the head, emotional instability, drastic changes in sleeping habits, and the loss of one's ego are some of the symptoms.

The crown chakra opening (also known as Kundalini awakening) is a deep spiritual experience that includes the realization of unconditional love and increased intelligence. When the crown chakra opens, people will experience a variety of symptoms. Some signs to be aware of are listed below.

Is Kundalini awakening rare?

You've found the correct spot if you've had a Kundalini Awakening, are wondering about the Kundalini Awakening process, think you could have some of the symptoms of a Kundalini Awakening, or are looking for Kundalini Awakening support.

I've spent the last decade researching Kundalini Awakenings from all angles, including hearing from people who have experienced spontaneous awakenings and gone on to live healthy and productive lives. I've also totally integrated my Kundalini Awakening experience, and I now work with a number of students to help them integrate their awakenings, as well as teaching this (cheap) online Integrate Your Kundalin Awakening course.

Although a spontaneous waking can be frightening, Kundalini Awakening is our collective developmental destiny.

What is a Kundalini Awakening?

A complete Kundalini Awakening is an energetic event in which all of the psyche's knots and difficulties are healed. It's extremely uncommon and leads to enlightenment. The vast majority of people who have an energetic experience — 99.999999 percent – are only experiencing the beginnings of Kundalini movement in the body, not a full awakening.

This is nothing out of the ordinary, and the bells, lights, and whistles that might accompany any wakeup can become a source of distraction and impediment.

People can experience an energy shift that wakes layers of perception and temporarily activates the chakras. They have the ability to engage in certain unusual behaviors. A surge of energy rising from Muladhara, up the back of the spine, over the top of the head, and terminating in the forehead is the true Kundalini Awakening experience. The entire system has sprung to life.

Regardless, Kundalini Waking is the awakening of Kundalini energy, which lies at the base of the spine, whether it is a full experience or the beginnings of movement. In some manner, shape, or form, the energy begins to flow up the spine.

This burst of energy is unrelated to a person's culture, religion, or country of origin. While yogic scriptures often describe the experience, it is also known and referenced in other spiritual traditions. It is the human being's natural growth to come to consciousness as the truth of who they are.

What causes a Kundalini Awakening?

Kundalini was traditionally awakened through rigorous yoga practice. However, it's becoming increasingly frequent for people to have awakenings without any prior yoga experience or knowledge.

Intense energy work, drug usage, sexual experiences, abuse or trauma, yoga practice, or life events can all cause an awakening.

It's the first of many stages of awakening, not the final one! The true task of awakening and liberation begins now.

What are the symptoms of a Kundalini Awakening?

The indications and symptoms of Kundalini Awakening vary from person to person, and they are mostly determined by the energy blocks in the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies. The signs and symptoms are usually related to the blocks, and the symptoms fade as the blocks are worked through and released.

Signs & Symptoms can include:

• Electricity in the body or internal lightening bolts are examples of energetic feelings.
• Shaking and jerking of the body, frequently completely out of the person's control
• Cold sensations in the body, as well as extreme heat sensations in the spine or certain chakras
• Kriyas (yoga practices), mudras (hand gestures), Bandas (body locks), asana, or pranayama that appear out of nowhere. Typically, the individual has never studied or learned any of these emergent habits.
• Buzzing, musical instruments, or thunder are examples of strange internal sounds that no one else can hear.

What is the process of a Kundalini Awakening?

While an awakening may appear to be a bizarre and out-of-control event, Kundalini is an intelligent and organic process with a purpose and a method for achieving that purpose.

The goal is to go through all of the psyche's illusions and tangles in order to re-orient the awakened person's life toward truth. This can be a difficult process because it implies the termination of relationships, work conditions, and previous ways of life. People who are unable to let go of the known and familiar sometimes try to hold on to people and situations. Suffering is caused by clinging to the past.

The smoother the process is, the more hard work a person has done before Kundalini Awakens. If the person has experienced a spontaneous awakening with minimal effort on their part, they are in for a difficult journey. Kundalini changes people on a physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual level over time.

The most crucial part of effectively working with a Kundalini Awakening is a person's perspective on Reality. This is why having a good teacher who can impart the tradition's viewpoint is so important. The majority of people's problems with Kundalini arise from maintaining incorrect viewpoints, and the awakening can be skillfully integrated with a shift in viewpoint and the right practice. Integrate Your Kundalin Awakening, a four-week online course, covers all of this and more.

What are the benefits of a Kundalini Awakening?

When Kundalini emerges, a person may have a greater sense of empathy for others, almost telepathic empathy. Greater sensitivity, higher energy levels, sometimes psychic skills or deep understanding, aging can appear to slow down, creativity and charisma can rise, as can interior calm and wisdom, and aging can appear to slow down. It's as though you're a part of All That Is. Life's deeper secrets are no longer a mystery.

Where can I find help or support for my Kundalini Awakening?

There are several support groups on the internet, as well as literature about Kundalini Awakening. The finest type of assistance you can get is from an educated, skilled, and experienced yoga instructor who has gone through some form of awakening. They're uncommon, although not as uncommon as you may imagine. See who you can locate by asking around, using Google, and using your imagination. However, exercise caution and confidence in your own feelings and intuition.

And, yes, I do work one-on-one with clients who have had Kundalini Awakenings and want to integrate them. If this describes you, you can schedule a session with me by clicking here. Alternatively, you can enroll in the four-week course below for only $37US.

How does it feel when a chakra opens?

You don't have to spend a lot of money or time to work on your chakras. In fact, meditation is the most effective way to access chakra energy.

You can feel your chakras every day or once a week by doing a brief 15-minute chakra meditation. All you have to do now is pick a comfortable seat in a peaceful location.

Bring yourself to a pleasant place, set your objective for the meditation, and focus on deep steady breaths after you're seated in a comfortable posture.

Start with the first chakra after that (the root chakra). Consider the hue that corresponds to it and the energy that flows through it.

Remember that inhales direct energy to the chakra and exhales allow awareness to settle in as you move through each chakra.

When the chakras are open and functioning properly, it's very typical to experience a tingling feeling across your entire body. All tension will dissipate as a result of this sensation. You might feel loose if you were stiff. You might feel peaceful if you were restless.
