Once the Kundalini energy is on the move the experience can
be mostly pleasant or unpleasant depending on several factors, primary of which
is the spiritual disposition of the person experiencing it. It is always somewhat easier to deal with if
the person in question is spiritually awake and ‘on their path’. Another big factor is the condition of the person’s
chakra centers. The better the condition
or status of the chakras, the smoother and easier it will be for the kundalini
energy to flow. When the lower chakras
are blocked with unresolved negative energy, or emotions, these things present
a barrier for the rising serpent, but not for very long. This “serpent of desire” is single-minded to
say the least and when it encounters such barriers it simply and painfully burns
right through them; a very good incentive for each of us to ‘go thru our stuff’
and resolve such issues ourselves while the serpent sleeps.
Intense heat,
especially in the chakras
Electric like energy
rushes
Feeling the blood
flowing thru arteries & veins
Visual & auditory
hallucinations
Involuntary jerks,
shaking
Crawling or tingling
sensations
Uncontrollable bliss
and euphoria
Emotional upheavals
Surfacing of
repressed emotions
Pressure in the
skull, migraine headaches
Now of course not everyone will experience all of the above
symptoms; as with everything else in life, each will have their own experience
with the serpent. Once you know what’s
going on, that you are experiencing the
awakening of the kundalini the best advice I can offer is first to not fight it
(you won’t win), and second to enlist the help of someone experienced who can
help guide you through it. The internet
is replete with a great many different meditations to aid in dealing with the
rampant energy. Now I could supply links
to same but I hesitate to do so because what feels and vibes right to one
person might easily be distracting etc. to another. Instead I urge those seeking such meditations
to just go hunting for the one(s) that resonate strongest to you. Besides, such safaris nearly always lead one
to still more knowledge that will be helpful.
In this case especially one size does not fit all.
In cases where the kundalini energy encounters stressed or
blocked lower chakras it will sometimes reverse course and return to dormancy
for a time at the base of the spine.
However when the lower chakras are healthy and clear of obstruction the
rising serpent will ascend to the heart chakra.
It is said that once the serpent energy reaches the heart chakra, it
will never return to the base of the spine.
Remember, it’s “a residual power
of desire” and it knows what it wants, to return to source.
My own kundalini experience happened in 1984, about a year
after I’d moved to Washington State Alaska . With six years experience as a counselor
under my belt I soon found employment with a small counseling agency, and began
adjusting to my radically new environment.
On everyone’s spiritual path there comes a time when the learning and
collection of information must naturally evolve into being a way of life, a
conscious choice to from that point onward integrate said knowledge into daily
life. That’s where I was then.
There was an impressive and growing ‘new age’ community in the greaterSeattle
area, and that was the biggest culture shock of all for me after a dozen years
in Alaska . I started hanging around at various
metaphysical bookstores and events, and soon noticed I was encountering the
same individual at most of them. The
fellow’s name was Markus, and I guess he had maybe ten or fifteen years on
me. I of course didn’t know it at the
time, but I’d just met my very first mentor. He and his wife were both metaphysical teachers who gave classes; held lectures & seminars and sold crystals. They were doing a booth at a local event one weekend and I
was invited to help. After spending an entire Saturday at this event, I expected
to fall fast asleep upon returning home.
Instead I remained quite awake, and finding myself in an upward
spiraling vortex of pure joy. Waves of
euphoria passed over me, each more exhilarating than the last. I had no idea what this was but I liked it.

An hour or so later Markus stopped by the house. In the process of explaining the process he
handed me a couple of crystals and stones to begin working with. I learned a few new breathing techniques as
well that afternoon. The following days
saw the joy and euphoria diminish a good deal, (much easier to deal with) and
the onset of the shakes and the creepy crawly tingly sensation several times a
day. At times I was so uncomfortable I could barely stand being in my
body. Throughout it all was this very
present feeling of ‘lightness’ as if my feet were barely connecting with the
ground. This loftiness sensation was
sometimes so strong I could have sworn I could fly. All in all, with guidance from my mentor it
took about ten days to ‘get everything under control’. Markus explained to me that I had two
options. I could basically go along for the ride, allowing the kundalini to
return home, or I could choose to coax it into dormancy within the heart
chakra.
I asked him if allowing the serpent to return home called
for ‘dropping the body’ or dying. His
reply was “No, not necessarily, though
some do it that way. If you choose, you
can remain here after the serpent’s journey is complete, but if you do you will
soon find all this very tedious and of little interest.” Of course, I elected to put the fiery serpent
to bed in the heart chakra, but it wasn’t quite as easy as that. Every day it would rear it’s little serpent
head and try to ascend up to the crown, and every day for ten days I would have
to coax it back into the heart with meditation and chanting. We eventually arrived at a truce, so there he
sits in my heart chakra.
They’re called The Heart People, and they may well be a powerful catalyst for positive change. All those years ago my mentor had explained something to me called Shaktipat, a kind of passive kundalini awakening whereby a person could have an awakening simply by proximity and exposure to someone whose kundalini had risen. Not at all unlike the new cell phone app that transfers data between phones magically…which pretty much describes my experience with Markus. Yes, it makes sense that all these powerful spiritual energies swirling around us might just be causing a great many passive and unintentional kundalini activations. Just as a single candle can light many other candles without diminishing its flame; an awake and aware person can also ignite and activate those in close proximity with their fire. An awake and loving heart, with or without the kundalini in it, creates a type of torsion field around it which can and does affect other people in proximity.
It’s like a particle of love in the heart becomes a wave of love all around it, spreading the vibration of love. When we are centered in the heart, and the heart chakra we become a shining lighthouse. People are drawn to that kind of light and peace as if by some gravimetric force. Heart people have no need to convince others there is a better way to live as a human on this planet, it’s just evident by being around them; when people see that, it impacts them, they see it’s possible to live without fear with a wide open loving heart. That knowledge is often the first step in learning how to become that themselves. The message of the heart people is one of hope, it is simple and timeless. If you’re alive on this planet pain is required, suffering is optional.
