Kundalini Awakening

[Guest guest]

Silentsoul:<br><br>Thank you for your post. I

must say, though, that not all people that experience

spontaneous Kundalini release have bad things happen to them

forever. This happened to me (I was not meditating or

trying for it at all...in fact, quite the opposite...but

it was released) and at the time I felt like I was

going crazy. My skin was constantly tingling. The best

way I could describe it was that I felt like someone

plugged me into a socket. I was having vivid dreams and

nightmares, as well as unexplained twitching in my body,

bursts of tears, constant fatigue, etc. <br><br>Now that

I know what it was, though, and I have started

regular yoga and meditation exercises, my symptoms have

decreased and become managable. The most important thing,

in my opinion, is to understand what's happening and

know you're not alone when you go through this. I felt

extremely alone and like I was going crazy until I found

out what was happening and read the accounts of

others.<br><br>I am happy now and feel more comfortable than ever

with myself in this life. It's going to be a life-long

journey, but one I am ready for.<br><br>Om

Shanti,<br>Erica

Blessed Self, sugarandbrine<br><br><<The

what's happening and know you're not alone when you go

through this.>><br><br>These are two very important

steps in coming to terms with kundalini. Knowing that

the symptoms experienced are normal to spiritual

unfolding and have been experienced by hundreds of

thousands of people, immeditately starts to decrease the

fear and increase the acceptance of the process.

<br><br>Without them, mental and physical deterioration can

continue, doctors will suggest prescription drug therapy

and other harmful therapies. Spiritual emergence

syndrome is often misdiagnosed as bipolarism,

schizophrenia, psychosis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue

syndrome, ADD.<br>Seek the advice of a qualified, I repeat,

qualified, spiritual guide if you encounter unusual mental

and physical phenomena.<br><br>And, you are right

that not all people experience negative symptoms

during the process of spiritual awakening. But these

people are the ones who taken the time to purity their

minds, intellect, physical body, astral body and the

connections between them.<br><br>Patanjali tells us that when

one has a focused mind and is desireless, one becomes

of their true spiritual nature. But kundalini can

also arise outside of spiritual practices, if one is

very intent on something and if the desires are at a

minimum and related to whatever is being focused on,

especially if that person has a desire for truth lying in

the background. In these circumstances, the

experiences of spiritual emergence may not be so

pleasant.<br><br>Om and prem

I agree and thank you.<br><br>By my post, I meant

that even if you do experience "negative" symptoms at

first, they can subside. I guess I just wanted to

say...it doesn't go on forever! <br><br>Om
