@Aftermarket My kundalini awakening started a little more than a year ago. I did decrease my meditations for like 6 months because the energy was intense. My eyelids would start shaking. I now find that I can go back to meditating regularly. I just recently got a singing bowl which I wish I got sooner. It totally helps me relax and feel the heart chakra. I love it. Sometimes I would have to eat a little heavier too because it helped with the energy. If I ate lightly it would get to my head and just stay there. Being outside is great and definitely exercise. When I didn't exercise for a week, I would really feel the difference. I recently started to do something I like too, mountain biking. I think I did feel like you said, raw. I didn't talk to a lot of people this past year. I felt like I needed to be alone. My husband got the brunt of what I was feeling and we are now really working on our relationship. I don't feel like that as much anymore. I do want to talk to people now. Also, it was hard for me to focus on the "what is reality" questions because it felt like emotional stuff had taken over but that may have been a red herring and I could have done more of that. I felt my upper three chakras for the first year and now I am starting to feel the energy in my solar plexus and root. Let me know if you have any questions.

@zazed Me too. Most definitely. Just recently, like within the past week, it got a better when I talk to people. It will get better. Giving a little here and there to a stranger has helped me too. I haven't gone out of my way that much in the past to help others when it is not automatic or I am not asked. Leo recommended a great book. Tara Springett's book Enlightenment through the path of Kundalini which I just read and it has great pointers on how to open chakras and she explains Kundalini in a positive way. She has a website too where you can reach out to her and set up skype consultations. Dr. Bonnie Greenwell who has written Kundalini Guide, and An Awakening Guide, has skype appointments available as well to talk about this. I do not know how to master it yet I am taking it day by day right now. If I find a way, I will let you know. I feel like I am not in a great position to give advice. Just references. It feels like it is doing a lot of the work itself. And I didn't try to start this. It started with my first dose of psychedelic mushrooms 2.5 g. That happens to me all the time. I sometimes have to stop and think that I am meant to be here now, why am I so pissed about that? Also, you are probably already doing this but cutting back on some things in life that you don't need. You are stating what happens to me a lot. I recently noticed a little shift but I feel like I can lose that. I am sorry if this isn't more helpful.

@zazed Kundalini does lead to spiritual enlightenment. Also, from what I read, it isn't Kundalini itself that makes a person feel unpleasant. It is our unconscious thoughts and ideas that we have been carrying in us. Kundalini forces you to work through these issues and I can imagine it is scary for anyone who doesn't know what Kundalini is and it happening to them. Also it seems some people have an initial Kundalini awakening or self realization and then followed by Kundalini syndrome. In my case, I have had no self realization but am working with Kundalini syndrome which I didn't fully admit to myself that was happening for a while because it just seems so surreal. Also, I had the why would it happen to me thought. As we all assume or know, there is no me. Here are some examples from Tara Springett's book Enlightenment through the Path of Kundalini regarding your quality of life question. Benefits of Kundalini include bliss, ecstacy and rapture, easiest way to imagine bliss is to think of ecstatic sensation of an orgasm. Bliss in head feels like heavenly pleasure. Bliss in throat feels more joyful, Bliss in heart like deep love, Bliss in solar plexus fills us with a sensation of deepest peace, Bliss at the naval feels like the overflowing joy you would feel if your dreams were suddenly fulfilled. Creativity forces are strongly stimulated. Kundalini can be used for spiritual healing and enhanced resistance to disease. These are gifts that usually need to be developed. She says it makes you more beautiful and sexually attractive. You will have more energy and a more youthful appearance. Deeper insight and intuition and intelligence. Liberation from ego. Freedom from our personal past. Freedom from the need to protect our ego. Freedom to be whatever and whoever you want to be. Power and supernatural power. Transformation of ordinary reality into paradise. Enlightenment. My personal story: It is impacting everything right now. This past year was and is really hard for my husband and me. That part doesn't feel great at the moment but I get confused if I am judging or blaming or basically if its just all my ego. I do feel love and bliss in my head. It literally does feel like an orgasm in my head. And I feel it is my heart and throat and now I am trying to open my solar plexis chakra. It is just recently changing the way I act in a more positive direction. I feel like I just want to go up to everyone who I shut out and say I am so sorry, do you need help with anything? I am becoming more conscious of how I listen to people, how much my life can affect someone else. I always thought I felt compassion for other people, but this compassion that is still developing for others is a little different. Kundalini forces you to do the self actualization part of enlightenment because it is part of enlightenment. I have quit drinking entirely. I used to smoke weed weekly but I don't do that anymore. I was pretty depressed before starting this path and now even though I have some days where I feel sad and maybe depressed, I have days where I am happy the WHOLE day. I haven't had that since teenage years. I'm 32. I didn't like myself AT ALL and now I am learning how to be my best friend. I don't know how to gauge the personality change yet. I feel like it will probably change but I still feel like myself. So far, no real benefit from the third eye in my daily life. Just interesting. Kundalini is different for different people. I think I am having a pretty good experience with it. We will see though. I am seeing a therapist and reading and trying to keep up with it. Just started yoga. Meditation and knowing when not to do a meditation. You have to eat healthy. If you don't you feel it. I do not know what is to come. Keep on asking and that is totally okay if you are skeptical. I was an atheist before this and I sometimes just cannot believe what is going on.

@Martin123 thank you so much for sharing. It wasn't too long. I would love to hear anything about it. I feel like I research but I get lost in it sometimes. I kind of had that same feeling of letting go. I was listening to eckart tolle and even though I have read this and think this he said how do you know the future at all. I generally am always trying to figure out the universes path for me and I realized I have no idea. And I realized how true that's that I do not know the future. I panicked in the uncertainty, in realizing I def do not know. And then everything felt so present. And it felt like my mind started going somewhere. And then I freaked and just started thinking "think about the future, think about the future" so I can get my thoughts back. My mind wasn't ready. @bigzbigi thank you! I stopped doing yoga for a bit and just did it today because of your comment and will start it again. It does feel good!

I am a female in my early 30s. I follow actualized.org religiously haha but I haven't typed on here that much. I hope to participate more on this forum. Thank you to all who share their wisdom. I started meditating August 2016 and I took 4 doses of psychedelic mushrooms about every 3 months, 2.5 g,3.5g, 2.0 g, 2.0 g. After the first time I did mushrooms I started feeling energy waves in my head. Eventually I started feeling the chakras opening in the center of my body. Not my spine. I had a third eye opening in June. I started seeing what looks like clear rain outside. Then the energy started going from the crown of my head, to the back of my head, down my spine. I can feel it down my complete spine now and my entire body. I feel like electrical current in my body several times a week. I don't know how else to describe it. When I relax at the end of the night thats when I feel it the most. I have been getting some pressure headaches but have watched youtube videos that have helped me with the amount of pressure in the head. I basically feel this energy moving in me all the time. Sometimes its working in my head, sometimes throat, sometime heart, and basically every chakra point. Emotions: Before knowing all this I actually thought I was a sweet person. haha I have a lot of built up anger, resentment, fear, and anxiety and each of these are coming up and I have a difficult time being mindful. I get caught up in the story and lash out specifically towards my husband. Today I told myself I am going to focus more on my mindfulness and being positive. My husband is supportive but has some skepticism about what I am experiencing. He wants me to get an MRI to rule out anything else. How do I feel: Well, I don't love the stories you read online about Kundalini. I was told not to read them. I have recently made an appointment with Dr. Bonne Greenwell to get some feedback. http://www.kundaliniguide.com/ . They say each one is different so I would just love to get some advice. Also there is another service I found online called PKYC at http://kundalinicare.com/. They each do Skype appts. I haven't seen her yet but I can give you an update. If you have any questions please ask. Also, if you have any advice I would love to hear.

@Richard Alpert and I am not sure. I watched a bit of that video. I will let you know if this passes. I am going to talk to someone about it so I will update you.

@Richard Alpert I feel it daily and nightly. It's so incredible. I had one night where it felt like my heart chakra was open all night and it was interpreted in my dreams. I can see clear rain outside on a sunny day cause it helped my third eye open. At night is when I feel it the most but I still feel it throughout the day mostly in my head and going down my spine. Let me know if you have any other questions.

@Richard Alpert I am only coming from my perspective and my experience so I cannot diagnose AT ALL and I cannot be sure of what you are going through AT ALL. Please remember that and if you think you should get medical help, get medical help. It doesn't hurt. They can't detect Kundalini. With that being said, here is my initial experience. When mine started in December (which I didn't know was Kundalini, I thought it was only chakras opening) I felt energy going from my neck going up top of my head mostly when I relaxed. I feel it quite a bit now but when I relax I feel it more especially if I am running around all day. Lying down or while I was driving I would feel the most symptoms. I wasn't planning to do Kundalini. Don't panic if you think its Kundalini because Kundalini, I personally think is good thing and there is help out there and you have this forum.

@Martin123 that is hilarious! Hahaha it's so true. I felt like there was an electrical orb around my body last night. And now I feel love and bliss in my head and throat. It's nuts. Did you continue to meditate? I had to take a break because it was getting too intense. Did/do you have any teachers to help you? @Nahm I am also interested if you have an active kundalini. I can potentially see that working but it is hard in the middle of it. Thank you for the advice. Tara Springett said to meet kundalinis power with love.

@Space Thank you so much. I will try out this video in a few days and will let you know. Totally open minded. I feel like I have to be now.

@sgn @cetus56 Thank you!

@Leo Gura Thank you Leo.

Okay. I wrote this a little bit under a different name before but I feel like I am putting reset on some things. I would love to explain my situation and advice would be so greatly appreciated. Sometimes I think I read or listen to too much spiritual and self actualization that I get confused if I am doing the proper work. Last November after a 2 g shroom trip (not during, this occurred two days after) I started to feel energy going from my neck to the top of head. I will spare you a lot of the in between stuff but basically after 3 more shroom trips spread out by 3 to 4 months each and meditation and self inquiry all throughout I think I opened all of my chakras that are aligned in the middle of my body. I feel the energy vortexes and I also see the corresponding color when I close my eyes. I am not sure about the root chakra though because I haven't seen that color however I do feel something, I think. It's so subtle so I am not sure. I also heard OM in the beginning of the year but not so much now. I had an episode in May or June where my third eye opened. A few days after I started seeing what I think are energy fields all around. It looks like clear rain. Now things are starting to look wavy. After the third eye opened, I started feeling the energy going from the crown chakra down my spine. It gets to my middle back and thats where I am at. The other night I had a dream and felt my heart chakra the entire time. When I woke up I still felt it. More recently, I do wake up in the morning and it feels like electricity is going through my body. Emotionally. Well I keep thinking of the movie mean girls where the girls turn into animals. Before doing this, I think I have been depressed for like 15 yrs without completely realizing it. So I am having a hard time letting go of some of it. It's like I like pain. Sometimes I still get confused about higher self and lower self and not sure which decisions to make. I am trying to find my truth but how do you know? I know this question has been answered but I am still confused. I started doing breathing work when my emotions arise as well as watching my ego. Is that enough? Would you do more shrooms or just let it be? I have a family that I raise. So its an event when this occurs. My family goes out of the house for a day and I do my thing. I feel like I don't really want to push it because I have them in my life but I don't know if that is fear talking. Any specific meditations or advice would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi! I have a question. Leo mentions in several of his videos and his most recent "what is art" video that we are spending time raising children because it is part of our survival mechanism. I don't remember if he said or if I just interpreted it that we are wasting time raising children. I have two children and currently stay at home with them. 3 and 2 yrs old. I started to doing this work for me but also because I didn't want to pass my bad psychology onto them. I have to raise my children, right? God consciousness has become my number one priority. How do I know when I'm being selfish about it? Should I not focus on them and focus more on the greater good?

@Prabhaker thank you as always @username Me too. I wish I knew about this! I have heard of using little candies in their mouth so they can concentrate on that.

@Arkandeus @Spiral @starsofclay @Annie @poimandres Thank you so much for for your insight. I appreciate your guidance so much. @Epiphany_Inspired I can see the neurosis all too much from other parents, my parents and myself still included and definitely working on that. Thank you for your response. @Leo Gura Sorry about my misinterpretation. My kids totally know who you are. Haha I cannot thank you enough for shining light on basically everything in my life. I'm crying right now thinking of how thankful i am.

I am 32 female with two kids and started this path about 1.5 yrs ago. I have been with my husband for 11 yrs. My husband hunts and he also works in the outdoor hunting industry so I am surrounded by this a lot. Is this okay? He seems more conscious about food and nature than me. One of the reasons I fell for him was because he was and is so intune with nature. First person I ever came across like that actually. The more I read about Buddhism the more I feel guilty for the position I am in. I also have realized I generally feel guilty about everything. It has been my MO since I can remember. I just feel like I need to have a better understanding. Thank you for your help.

@Prabhaker thank you for providing me that new perspective. @Russell i am looking into toxic guilt. Thank you for that. And I have met people like that. Luckily my husband isn't like that. But it's just weird sometimes that I am seeking enlightenment which i have my unconscious views of and my husband hunts and works for the outdoor industry. I have two kids and he has provided and taken good care of me and also treats me really well. I do feel like I am going through a spiritual awakening and I am getting nervous cause I feel like once you find that you are no self that I'm going to throw all that out the window. I obviously have no idea what it's going to be like but my ego likes to think so. I am making effort to be a vegetarian and by proxy he is eating less meat and becoming more aware I think. Just trying to find myself without losing everything else in my life but then again it's not my life....

@Prabhaker you know what. I thank you so much. I think I'm going through a spiritual transformation. Not sure. just feel energy up the front of me and down my spine. Guilt is coming up and I am finding every excuse to feel guilty. And trying to figure out if it's rational or not. This came up recently and has had me stuck. Seriously, I was under a different name before and you guided me. So thank you again for such a quick and eloquent response.

i believe my third eye is opened. I never know for sure with this because I can't really ask a doctor and confirm. In December I started feeling energy in my body and chakras opening. After about 6 months I had a moment where my entire self was basically in my third eye area. Happen for a few seconds and then I panicked. Several days later I started to see I think energy fields. It looks like clear rain coming down in a diagonal. I sat outside for an hour cause I had to convince myself I was actually seeing this. Now, when I look at objects they start to get wavy but it happens so quickly that I have to question if that is happening. It seems like it is a gradual opening.
