Signs and symptoms of Kundalini from El Collies writings

[Guest guest]

I had many of these s/s but fortunatly not all. I didnt get dizzy or

feel sick, but did experience most of these symptoms and some that

are not listed. Remember much of what occurs is brought from what we

bring to it. Our life experiences our Karmas our natural

proclivities. So if you see something here you can correlate with

your own experience then good! And you can know that others have trod

that part of the path you are on. But not all of your path will

resemble mine or El Collies or anyones elses. You are special and

unique and so will your experience be. Here is her s/s of Kundalini: -

 

 

 

The following are common manifestations of the risen Kundalini:

 

Muscle twitches, cramps or spasms.

 

Energy rushes or immense electricity circulating the body

 

Itching, vibrating, prickling, tingling, stinging or crawling

sensations

 

Intense heat or cold

 

Involuntary bodily movements (occur more often during meditation,

rest or sleep): jerking, tremors, shaking; feeling an inner force

pushing one into postures or moving one's body in unusual ways. (May

be misdiagnosed as epilepsy, restless legs syndrome (RLS), or PLMD.)

 

Alterations in eating and sleeping patterns

 

Episodes of extreme hyperactivity or, conversely, overwhelming

fatigue (some CFS victims are experiencing Kundalini awakening)

 

Intensified or diminished sexual desires

 

Headaches, pressures within the skull

 

Racing heartbeat, pains in the chest

 

Digestive system problems

 

Numbness or pain in the limbs (particularly the left foot and leg)

 

Pains and blockages anywhere; often in the back and neck (Many cases

of FMS are Kundalini-related.)

 

Emotional outbursts; rapid mood shifts; seemingly unprovoked or

excessive episodes of grief, fear, rage, depression

 

Spontaneous vocalizations (including laughing and weeping) -- are as

unintentional and uncontrollable as hiccoughs

 

Hearing an inner sound or sounds, classically described as a flute,

drum, waterfall, birds singing, bees buzzing but which may also sound

like roaring, whooshing, or thunderous noises or like ringing in the

ears.

 

Mental confusion; difficulty concentrating

 

Altered states of consciousness: heightened awareness; spontaneous

trance states; mystical experiences (if the individual's prior belief

system is too threatened by these, they can lead to bouts of

psychosis or self-grandiosity)

 

Heat, strange activity, and/or blissful sensations in the head,

particularly in the crown area.

 

Ecstasy, bliss and intervals of tremendous joy, love, peace and

compassion

 

Psychic experiences: extrasensory perception; out-of-body

experiences; pastlife memories; astral travel; direct awareness of

auras and chakras; contact with spirit guides through inner voices,

dreams or visions; healing powers

 

Increased creativity: new interests in self-expression and spiritual

communication through music, art, poetry, etc.

 

Intensified understanding and sensitivity: insight into one's own

essence; deeper understanding of spiritual truths; exquisite

awareness of one's environment (including " vibes " from others)

 

Enlightenment experiences: direct Knowing of a more expansive

reality; transcendent awareness

Some people have told us they find the concept of " Kundalini " foreign

and prefer to simply call this their " awakening, " which is fine with

us. But for most who contact us, the Kundalini explanation provides

an important framework with which to accept and work with their

experiences. We each have a unique way of interpreting, honoring and

describing our spiritual wisdom. I do not believe there is only one

right way to know or express the truth. Far more important, I

believe, is to have an open heart and to be faithful to our own path,

wherever it may lead.

 

We have also been asked why we do not put more emphasis on union with

the Divine and God-realization, which are very much central to

spiritual awakening. Since everyone experiences and interprets their

mystical experiences differently and very personally, to make sure no

one will feel excluded, we just speak of " awakening consciousness "

or " transcendent states " on the ST Web pages. In our Shared

Transformation newsletter, individuals with variant religious beliefs

are welcome to (and DO) tell about their experiences of this sort.

Some speak of God, Christ, Goddess, the Holy One, Spirit, or simply a

magnificent Whole in which we all partake.

 

Also, for some people, profound spiritual realizations do not occur

until months or years after the other signs and symptoms. Individuals

who are having experiences of an obvious spiritual nature are usually

more able to integrate and benefit from the process, regardless of

how they may label it. But those who experience what seems to be

illness or weird psychic phenomena often are very alarmed until they

understand that they are not sick or crazy. And even the enlightening

and beautiful experiences can be so powerful that people doubt their

sanity.
