Kundalini Awakening

 English isn't my native language so I apologise in advance if I write poorly. So 5 years ago an event happened that I suspect was a kundalini awakening. At that time I wasn't doing any meditation and I wasn't even interested in spirituality.   I  was a student in an university  doing my bachelor's degree in actuary . I was 23 years old unmotivated and mostly spendind my time playing video games or hanging with friends. I wasn't doing well in school, had a hard time concentrating and I had a pretty low self-esteem. To make the story short, from September 2011 till December 2011 I had a manic episode. During this time I had tremendous energy, I could only sleep 3 hours per day but I still was extremely energetic. My condfidence was through the roof, I felt like God. Lots of mood swings, one second Im laughing the next I m crying. I had vivid hallusinations, lots of paranoia, hearing things. Also I felt extremely alive,  I could  see the energy around me, I felt that everything connected. During this time I couldn't control my thoughts, I had racing thoughts. In a way I lost my mind lol, I suspect that's reason that I felt so alive. Losing my mind was the worst thing that happened to me, but at the same time the best, that was the trigger that showed me the way to spirituality and the self-developpement. Did anyone else lived trough something like this.

Kundalini can also awaken spontaneously, for no obvious reason or triggered by intense personal experiences such as accidents, near death experiences, emotional trauma, extreme mental stress, and so on. Madness happens many times, but if you know the technique, then meditation can happen. It always happens on the verge; that is why mystics have always used the term "the sword's edge." Either madness may happen or meditation may happen, and every method uses your body as a sword's edge from which either one or the other is possible.So be concerned with meditation and not with kundalini. And when you are aware, things will begin to happen in you.

@Prabhaker thank you for your input. It is true that at that time I was experiencing emotional trauma and extreme stress.
