Kundalini Awakenings Symptoms and Signs

  Many individuals whose Kundalini has been unexpectedly unleashed DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING, and the prevailing social ignorance about this multidimensional transformative process makes it hard to find medical or alternative health practitioners or spiritual advisors who recognize the symptoms, particularly when they are strongly physical. Many people know that the risen Kundalini flings open gates to all sorts of mystical, paranormal and magical vistas but few realize it can also dramatically impact the body. A large percentage of Shared Transformation subscribers have reported long bouts of strange illness as well as radical mental, emotional, interpersonal, psychic, spiritual and lifestyle changes. Over and again we hear stories of frustrating, sometimes desperate visits to doctors, healers, counselors, etc. who neither understood nor were able to help with the myriad pains and problems catalyzed by raging 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, or PLMD
  • Alterations in eating and sleeping patterns

  • Episodes of extreme hyperactivity or, conversely, overwhelming fatigue

  • 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

  • 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

  It is the latent energy represented by the serpent called the ‘Kundalini’  coiled round a 'Lingam’ situated at the lowest of the 7 centres of psycho-cosmic force in the human body. This centre is called the Root Centre (Muladharacakra). The latent energy here is depicted as the dormant force of the goddess Kundalini who as the sakti of Brahma embodies the potentiality of nature, whose effects may be either divine or demoniacal. The wise, who control these force, may reach through them the highest spiritual power and perfection, while those who ignorantly release them, will be destroyed by them.  It is basically used by Hindu Tantric Yogi. The Tibetan uses a different modified form called the Yoga of the Inner Fire. This method has only five Centres (Cakra).

  Some simple ways to calm kundalini awakenings

   

  1) take long walk , especially in nature, hug trees, let your  feet touch the earth.

  Pass your energy to the nature

   

  2) soak in warm bath with aromatherapy oils

   

  3) drink herbal tea, rose, chrysanthemum to soothe nerves

   

  4) exercise, jogging, long walks and swimming help. Especially swimming in the sea with the high salt content.

   

  5) eat more vegetables

   

  6) sleep long hours

  1) Stop any meditation / yoga/ spiritual chanting that you are doing if your kundalini is very overwhelming.

  2) Listen to your body, what it wants. If your body craves for raw vegetable, just eat more.   If your body is very light and you often feel like you are floating, eat some meat to ground yourself

  3) Visit a transpersonal psychiatrist to talk about your kundalini awakenings. A transpersonal trained psychiatrist is more accepting of your strange encounters.

  The keyword is "transpersonal" .

  拙�梵文��kundalini，中文除了拙�也有翻譯為�力��熱或�翻譯直接�其音稱為��利�孔�里尼等。

  
  �代�度瑜�士在修練�程中發�人體內有股先天跟隨來的能�潛�在脊椎底部與會陰相接的地方，他們�為該能��一��曲的蛇一樣�在身體底部，所以��他�蛇��熱，因為一般人的這股能�未經修練終其一生都處於潛�狀態，所以�有�一�稱���眠女神。�年以來，許多瑜�士們努力想�喚醒她。�世紀（北宋時期），西�的馬爾巴譯師越�喜馬拉雅山進入�度，�當時�度�大的那洛巴祖師學得瑜�的精髓（後世稱為那洛六法），其中最首�的便是拙�之法。

  幾�年�的中國修練者也發�有這個�西，當時把它��先天之氣，�於修練這先天之氣的�程與方法，中國人於此與�度瑜�相比有異曲�工之妙。

  一般人終其一生都�會喚醒此能�，�有代代相傳�得正確修練方法的人能喚醒它，修練�程�分艱苦。拙�覺醒的�程有�能猛烈粗暴，讓修行人痛苦�已。但喚醒 此�熱�以轉化這粗糙的身體�為精細，超越一般肉體而得到特異功能，甚至長生�死。所以瑜�士們特別強調它。以下引述Swami Sivananda的著作："Kundalini Yoga"其中一段話，讓��知�拙�瑜�的��性。

  「在拙�瑜�中，全身之創造力與支�力，實與大自在相��。瑜�行者，激勵拙�，引自己到大自在處，拙�力生起與大自在相�，則�三摩地�心性之證知。�是拙�所賜之智慧，拙�本身�是智慧。瑜�行人，將拙�醒起之時，�得智慧與光明。

  喚醒拙�，有�種��之方法。謂�王瑜��哈�瑜�等。修拙�瑜�人云：更無有法超�拙�者，其所得之三摩地為最完備。其�由是，禪定瑜�中，由離世事�集 中心�，令心智能力生清淨覺�，�為心所阻礙，能得�就。此�露覺�之�績，全�定力�觀想力，�離世俗力。�言之，拙�是一切力，其本身�是智根，於其 被瑜�士醒起之時，則賜智慧�究竟解脫。復次，拙��但是由定而得之一種三摩地，亦是生命中心力，�用心與身二者之力。此所云之連�，比其餘任何方法為完 備。雖然兩種皆令心識消失，然在拙�則��心而身亦如是。因其指�中心力與頂輪之大自在王會�故，此會��是三摩地，能生大樂，為禪定瑜�者所無故。

  拙�瑜�行者，有正確與滿足之樂�解脫，所以此瑜�為所有瑜�之首，修身瑜�行者能將�眠之拙�喚醒時，則能�上打通�脈輪，激勵其熱烈�作。在其一層一層 上�之時，能將心完全打開，所有煩惱�貪嗔癡皆得消滅。瑜�行人�得�種見解�能力��報�智慧。於其�腦上頂輪時，瑜�行者�得極大智慧��報能力，以 �諸悉地（�就），如是則�於瑜�梯之最高層，完全得身心解脫，得一切自在無礙，�為一滿開花之瑜�士。�

  如�所講，修練拙�的�程�分艱苦，除了�有嚴謹無比的生活�律之外，還��離一切慾望與無謂的體力消耗，所以一直以來多是專業修行人��以辦到。�代許多 人把練氣功或��時身體的微微熱感誤以為是拙�發動的�象，這是錯誤的，或者以輕鬆的態度動作想�發動拙�，也是辦�到的。真正的拙�發動起來猛烈無比，沒有有經驗者在�指導，容易以為是生病，甚至因為精神�的���夠，就變�我們時常�到的"走�入魔"了。而練身體時微微的熱感中國�家把這�象��"相 �"，相�是修練�程中身體由��康轉變為�康而引發的病相，或者是胃腸功能引起的正常�象，時常會被急功好利者誤�為功夫到了，所以中國��士們特別強調出來。與其相�的��"��"，"��"�是瑜�士講的�熱，其中如何分辨�常複雜。西�的瑜�士類似的�分��的覺醒程度為�拙�與�拙�兩種，�於�拙�的�範更高，目的也是希望讓修行者更清楚其���程而���錯。

  二�世紀以來，有一些人把拙�跟性�在一起，說它是性能�的來�。��拙�之練習必須仰賴�欲與離世之苦行加上有�就的�師教導�有機會，於是這些人就把拙�練習改�強調身心愉悅，�講拙�的�象與功夫了，把練kundalini改�全身上下抖來抖去，加上唱歌跳舞與禱告。��由於這群人�大眾宣傳的�功，使得kundalini這�詞在今天很多地方已經被誤�為是��身心愉悅的功法，而忘了其實練拙�的瑜�士是抱�著�棄身心的強大願力�能�就的。

  目�還是有少數的瑜�修行者�功的喚醒拙�，但是失敗的更多，因為真正的拙�修練�程中是很難進行世俗生活的，能摒棄一般人生而專心修練的人也容易因為缺�足夠知識而很難練�，很�能在拙��起�程被�人�進醫院，所以缺�已�功者的指導真的很難練的�。

  Kundalini Awakenings applied to all living humans.  All of us have this chakra in us.

   

  When Buddha is enlightened under the bodhi tree, the first remark he made was " How strange, everyone has buddha nature , but they didn't realise it .

   

  Everyone has kundalini and the chakra system, everyone can be the enlightened one (buddha nature) .

  Interesting sharing. Just wondering Wiser do you learn all these things from a living teacher in Singapore or just online info? What is your main method of practice?

• Wiser

  8 Jan 11, 16:38

  Pureland chanting and Tantric buddhism.

   

  I am sharing this information with those who are experiencing kundalini awakenings.

  This symptom applies to all living humans irregardless of religions and races.

   

  I only wish to share this knowledge so that more people will not be questioning their sanity or be lost and to be judged in the wrong sense.

   

  Those who want to know more, please find more information online or asked experienced people who may have been through the phrase.  

   

  Kundalini awakenings can be temporary. It can also stopped suddenly, as suddenly as when it started.  It can also be with a person for a long time.

  Please do not email me or ask me for advice. I am just sharing an open information with people. I am not an expert in telling another person what or how to solve their kundalini problems.

  If any of your friend, family, relatives suffering from the symptoms/signs listed above, you will know how to inform them that it may be "kundalini awakenings".

  Some trained "transpersonal" psychiatrists have been helping people who may be just be normal housewife, student, working adults with no intense meditation in any faith, but they are suffering from the above symptoms.

  Some are so afraid to share their strange happenenings with family/friends lest they are being thought "insane" , "going crazy"....etc.....So by sharing this kundalini information for more people to have an idea about such thing, i hope it may help people to be less scared , lost and afraid.

  My mom has some of the symptoms. She can feel energy and have spontaneous movements and healing powers etc.

  Interestingly, our moderator Thusness once told me that kundalini practices suits her.

  When you are into meditation, yoga, qi-gong,  martial arts, any intense concentration for a long period , it can move your qi , the kundalini will arise.  Anybody can experience it. 

  Some children are born with special gifts for eg seeing the third dimension world(that may disappear when they grow older), they  are called the "purple child"   (purple being the highest colour for the top crown chakra).

  This is new-age information that is well accepted in the West but a very traditional knowledge in India.  The earliest translated Buddhist sutra writes about this.

  I think it is time Asian countries should learn more information about kundalini and chakras.

  oh btw p.s. Thusness also told me that my mom's chakras are open... that is why she is having these spontaneity things and powers etc. I haven't inquired too much into this though.

   

  I used to see ghost especially much younger, my parents told me about my early years incidents (but I can only remember one incident which I saw ghost). I don't see ghosts nowadays. Also, someone from new age who can see auras used to tell me I am an 'indigo child' which is... interesting. I don't know too much about it though.

  Thanks for sharing. It is my first time I heard about kundalini awakenings. It sounds a bit scary to me.

  many years ago i visit this sakya tradition temple ,the khenpo is helping someone who gone haywire on the chakra practice ,the chinese style aka qi gong

  it is a scary experience as the person suddenly scream and shout in front of the Buddha altar trying to battle on .then the ani in charge said probably guru rinpoche chanting verse and the man calm down . Such things lead me to understand that kundalini should not be explained here to the beginner for fear if something happen to practitioner ,all of us here would be asked to Police station for questioning for wrong advice .

  Its very impt to follow a khenpo in Tantric practice , because if left unguided , one who minute thoughts of unwholesome of 3 poison and start chanting mantra to wrathful can cause great damage to others and avici hell

  I ready feel such posting serves as a guide rather than a exact situational guidance becos there are ppl who encountered different experience which is due to their past karmic actions

  Hence the title should be "rough guide to kundalini awakening"

  When you have information on kundalini and chakra, you will not find it scary anymore.  Knowledge is Power.   You can then accept it as part and parcel of self-growth in the physical and mental sense.

  In fact, most kundalini experiencers will not want to revert back to being a normal human beings after they have rough out their spiritual journey.  Kundalini can open you up to different perspective of this human world and beyond.

  Is kundalini awakenings in anyway related to enlightenment ? What is the difference between kundalini awakenings and enlightenment ?
