Kundalini Awakening Symptoms: Bliss and Terror, Tragic and Divine

Kundalini Awakening Symptoms with Nondual teacher and Mindfulness based therapist Craig Holliday. www.craigholliday.com/ In this video, Craig responds to student questions: about Nondual Kundalini Awakening and the gateway to the direct experience of God. For the past 10 years Craig has offered support to thousands of individuals who have experienced some level of kundalini awakening. With compassion and grace he guides individuals through the processes of healing and integration, so that these energies can move through us in a smooth and stable manner. It is through this process of healing and integration, that we discover the true purpose of this awakening within us. Instead of asking what can this energy do for us, we are invited to ask, how may I serve this movement of Grace in the world. From this space of humility, we open into a non separate relationship with the Divine.
Beyond speaking about kundalini, Craig offers instructions on Yoga, nondual meditation, and for opening and healing the heart, through surrendering oneself to a movement of Divine Intelligence. Craig's teachers have included Adyashanti, A. H. Almaas, Gangaji, Caroline Myss, Lama Tsultrim, and Eckhart Tolle; his major influences include Christ, Sri Aurobindo and the Buddha.
Craig offers Skype sessions, retreats and workshops and meets with individuals from around the world who have a sincere desire to awaken out of our painful egoic existence and into this Beauty that we always already are. Craig began teaching after a series of profound awakenings with his teacher Adyashanti, for more info: www.craigholliday.com/
Symptoms: As always be wise see a doctor to see if your symptoms are related to a physical or mental health disorder first, before self diagnosis and creating more pain for oneself.
Symptoms: overwhelmed by energy, intense energy in the spine, pressure in back or chakra centers, massive pressure in head, heart belly. Feeling incredible bliss, happiness or joy, benevolent experiences, heavenly feelings or experiences, disorientation in the sense of self or identity, feeling as if the ground is falling out from under you, feelings of expansiveness, cosmic consciousness, transcendent consciousness.
Emotional symptoms: overwhelming anxiety (which is really energy simply wanting to move), depression (which is often unconscious resistance to the energy, or fear of this energy or confusion about this energy-remember this energy is Divine, but the ego often interprets it as a form of outside victimization), you may feel as if repressed emotions are releasing out of your chakra centers. This may come with tears, or laughter, or anger…often if you allow these emotions to move and release you will feel lighter and more spacious inside.
Neurological disorders (seizure like symptoms, temporarily losing ability to walk, talk, or uncontrollable hand movements/kriyas, spine arching or moving like a snake, loss of memory, dyslexia, intense pain in back, neck, head or spine. Ringing in the ear. Headaches, migraines.
Mental Disorders: (brain fog, trouble thinking, racing thoughts, uncontrollable thoughts, emotional disorders (uncontrollable anger, sadness or rage, irritability, agitation, bipolar tendencies, mental illness, intense confusion in the mind, psychotic or psychic experiences (don’t get lost in these or become attached to these).
As always be wise see a doctor to see if this is a physical or mental health disorder first, before self diagnosis and creating more pain for oneself.
Meet with a team: a competent teacher, healer, therapist, chiropractor, physician, and body worker. Do light gentle yoga, engage in healing on all levels of being, mental, emotional, physical, family of origin, inner child, shadow work, and spiritual integration. Remember every aspect of life is connected. Kundalini will not solve all of your problems, but rather will bring an awareness to you of where your energy is blocked and where you need to do your work. It may heal many things within you, but with many more aspects of your humanity will it ask you to come forward and actively join in the healing process.

I prayed to God that I would never betray the infinite love I felt for my ex-girlfriend, tears came down from my eyes, as it was in the half light no one noticed, at the same moment I felt something explode in a violent force on the genitals as a volcano and rose to my heart and I felt a burst of light opening in my chest, when I left the nightclub I felt something strange and special screaming inside of me that I had won, I got my car and went home to sleep with the feeling that something extraordinary had occurred, coming home, as I lay down in bed as I prayed, I felt an energy being sucked from the base of the spine in a force and pressure from another world, a heat as if it were burning my genitals and as I prayed I felt something rising up the column with a deafening noise, something wonderful and frightening, but I surrendered myself to God at that moment, and I felt the energy arrive at the base of the nape of the neck and I felt an incredible lightness in the body, I fell asleep immediately, the next day I woke up with an infinite joy, it seemed that everything was good, joy that seemed to explode at any moment and an infinite love for the people, I walked and it seemed that I had no body weight, I felt like an inflatable balloon to take flight, that same day I went with my brother to get my father in his work I already was 25 years old, on the back we were listening to a gentle instrumental music in the car, when suddenly I looked out the window to some horses loose on the ground near the road, I feel a love infinite by them and suddenly I was the horses and they were me, and I saw that I was everything at that moment, that was a Monday, I continued to feel a love radiating from my chest spontaneously for everyone and everything, when I went to take bath, I took a cold bath, the instant the water fell on me, I felt the chakras the water falling on them, I could feel all the chakras, I had no thoughts and a sense of unity,

[@yogeshwaran4993]

I felt the same in my genitals. It is more powerful and pleasure than sex. So only sadhus leave all behind for this pleasure and peace

[@Shanablueray]

Its the most humbling experience. When it first happened fully it made me walk sideways people thought I was drunk because the energy makes you feel dizzy and the world tilts. And honestly I've been feeling almost bipolar and its making me face my shadow more. I'm standing up for myself more but it makes me feel depressed. It feels like war. A war inside me and around me. And now and then I will feel joy and peace knowing I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be. It feels like it could create and destroy whole worlds with this energy.

[@macintoshimann9892]

You too? My whole head twisted around... actually fit the definition of a movement disorder. Which did start after a car accident but ended in conjunction with the awakening. It’s like my wreck pushed so much energy through my spine it caused a glitched awakening sequence that I wasn’t ready for. All the painful movement disorder feelings are turning into divine light.

His experience and assessment is correct. Divinity is not a easy goal to reach. Need lots of suffering, hard-work and right understanding. That is reason why Buddhism focuses on condition mind mediation thru right body, speech, thoughts and core devotion to remove delusions of ego, jealousy, desire, greed, ignorance and anger / hatred as first step to divinity.

I love how you explain it so well. Most of those things I feel myself too, still trying to get used to the energy within my body because when my Kundalini awakened I also became hypochondriac because I thought there was something wrong with me.

[@chrisoaks286]

It is nice to have a community that understands this. It really is something you can’t explain to someone who hasn’t experienced it. You are so right about unless you surrender it will scare you. But just remember you are being made a new person, so you can embody the vibrations and frequency’s of your ascension. Trying to stop it would be like stopping labor pains. You can’t. Just like labor is hard but we get through it, and afterwords we realize how beautiful it is. So is this.

I feel that I am experiencing this. I had a spiritual awakening a few years ago, and since then I have had experiences of back pain (especially in the lower back) and crazy and difficult mental and emotional experiences. Lots of depression, anger, and real mental craziness. Lately I've been doing Zazen (just sitting) and listening to Craig's talks about opening up to and allowing painful emotions, and I find that it has been helping me be with the discomfort.

[@simongodard7549]

Wow that was beautifully explained! I have felt like a victim to it for long periods because its been so intense and long - 9 years - but wouldn't want it taken away either until the work is done. The thought that it may not have happened is the scareist thought of all, but i've wanted to go home continously too as its just so overwhelming and rips your life to shreds. Siuch a strange paradox and dilemma. "It shows you who's boss and forces you into humilty and surrender". Wonderfuily put. Spot on. Namaste.

[@KarlaHerschell]

Loved this! So true. It will force you to surrender. It's amazing how its so terrifying, that there is no fighting it, but at the same time you truly experience the ultimate power of God. We get to glimpse the Divine. Most incredible life changing experience

[@hugoriquelme4712]

Hi Craig, thank you immensely for your teachings they are helping me a lot. I have awakened this energy within by having a dark night of the soul moment. Having been curled up in a foetal position asking god "what is the meaning of my existence on this planet, why so much pain?. My ego shattered and I started seeing where all my wrong doings were and how i could correct them to avoid further pain. I discovered meditation. After asking the creator that I was over my old self, meditating, being the watcher of my thoughts and emotions, meditating some more and over and over I suddenly felt this tingling sensation at the base of my spine. It has since become more intense and i feel the energy raising up my spine especially at night time while i "try" to sleep. I have totally surrendered to it, "Not my will but thy will be done onto me" as scripture says. I have since learned to just surrender and let go to this energy. I can't thank you enough for your videos which are helping me through this lonely ride. Many blessings from Down Under.

fasting and praying helps more than anything else when once the spirit is awakened and anxiety begins to be disrupted in the soul

[@olegpetinov587]

@MARJAN I hope some of these might help: 1. Just ask Kundalini to be a bit more gentle. 2. If you work with Reiki, Kundalini Reiki or other energies, you can direct them on working through whatever is the cause of your discomfort. I can share information on how to get the attunements to the abovementioned energies. As for me, I got the attunements prior to the symptoms of Kundalini and had worked with them for some time already, cleaning and opening chakras (this takes quite some time and still have lots of work to do). But the point is that Kundalini symptoms seem to be quite bearable. 3. Cleansing ceremonies, like Ayahuasca ceremony, may help to work through some emotional traumas and give a glimpse of Unimaginable, so that whatever happens further on your path is a bit more easily acceptable to your psyche. 4. And, of course - do not resist. It's like with psychedelics, the more you resist, the worse it goes, but once you accept whatever is happening to you, relax and observe - THEN you get huge benefits from the process and it's much more pleasant, of course.

[@clarkkent3730]

@MARJAN diet is very important; fast as often as you can and eat only very natural, organic, raw foods....pray continually until you have reached spiritual integration: where the energy of the fleshly body matches the supernatural energy of the inner regenerated spirit through faith

Really enjoyed your delivery and content of Kundalini. What you share is so true. I have been on this journey for 10 years. The physical experiences have been the most intense with the kriyas and then when emotion is involved more powerful. Truly a lesson of surrendering.

[@the.kai.eros.experience]

Thank you for sharing. It started for me after I sat with Ayahuasca in September of 2022. I then wound up in a mental institution because the energy felt so intense and terrifying. I thought I want to die. I’m learning to ride the waves and integrate the energy. It really is a gift, and I’m grateful to see it and have people like you mirror that. Because without that awareness or insight I’m sure I would have offed myself or be addicted to heroin to try to numb the intensity.

[@TheMoonKingdom]

Your descriptions are the most accurate I've found. I've been suffering an ever increasing orgasmic bliss & pressure since 2010 or so. At times it's acute in energy center, or part of my body, & at other times it's exploding in every cell. Sometimes I get lower back spasms which become blissful, & other times this intense unending pleasure makes it hard to function. The hardest part though, is that the bliss often seems to spill out into other people. I mean that others experience the bliss as a field effect I guess. I also find myself experiencing tactile awareness of others & the environment like they're a part of my body. It's really been stressful most of the time, but I am trying to be open & relaxed:)

[@craigholliday]

When these overwhelming experiences occur, can you notice that you are OK? That there is a part of you which is quiet, free and ok? Can you find a space of awareness within you, which is simply that--the space of awareness, the space in which all phenomena arises. Do not be afraid of any feelings, they are simply that: feelings. This awakening is meant to upgrade your mind from being a normal human egoic mind, to a Divine inclusive mind, where oneness is normal. At first this experience is disorienting, to say the least, but in the end, oneness simply becomes a quiet and simple way of being. Peace be with you, my friend, -craig

So happy to hear this - thank you Brett Linehan for bringing Connor Lepp to light. This is my experience for about 5 + years. Everything got way exasperated when I started working with Yogananda's Kriya Yoga. So many beautiful, blissful experiences with horrifying body burning and vibrating, immense anxiety, not sleeping, panic and dread attacks and tons of nervous sytem stuff - even though I'd spent YEARS sitting into fear to free it, releasing, and all this other stuff. THANK GOD i finally understand what I've been seeing and realizing but didn't have anything to go by. I'd started bringing the energy down through the body from head to feet and that helped for a while but then all hell broke loose. I'm gentle with myself and do almost no thing. Have come to a place where I am accepting this body and being as it is. Not easy but, this is a purification experience and at least I have discovered that I can hang in there longer. We need the body to be here as long as possible to clear out the VASANAS (the subconscious and often karmic junk that is trying to leave). From head to feet - the constant burning, purifying... I do my best to see it as healing energy - but it's NOT EASY. I hope one day, I burn through this and will serve humanity in a deeper service than I've been able to. There's nothing I can do to stop it, just going with it as best I can. I might have to contact you at some point when it gets so bad there's less of will to go another moment longer in life.

Kundalini energy is a very specific evolutionary energy which has its root at the base of the spine. Grace are energies which descend into the aspirant from above. Grace is often experienced as the Divine coming into your form. Energetic Awakenings are when an aspect of your True Nature becomes aware of Itself. Prana is simply the energy of aliveness within oneself. Chakra centers are energy centers along the spine there are 7 main centers, but hundreds of smaller centers within oneself. Craig works very specifically with each of these specific energies and considers them all quite, unique and each has its own purpose and Intelligence. Although most individuals simply refer to all energy as kundalini or grace, yet this generic understanding does not do justice to the wide array of Divine energies and realms available to oneself. For decades Craig apprenticed with a master teacher learning and integrating these energies and has since worked with thousands of students who experience subtle to dramatic energetic awakening. One of his gifts is his individual work in these realms. Please read, the basic instructions for working with Kundalini energy section first. If you are experiencing a spontaneous energetic awakening it is best to have a teacher who can help guide you through these very specific realms. While Craig does respond to many emails he receives, he is not able to answer all the questions and give them the time and attention each question deserves. If you feel drawn to working with Craig as a teacher set up a Skype session and discuss this with him. craigholliday.com

Fascia and connective tissue stretching/strengthening which is the first pillar of 'the 8 Brocades,' 'Yi Jin Jing' and other neigong/qigong exercises make the electrical network of the body denser/more elastic which lessens the chances of "burn out" with Kundalini or help if a sufferer already has it to in their moments of clarity, if practiced, to lessen the duration of it by first repairing then further "strengthening" the electrical body network.

[@lindamayer4549]

These videos give me the confidence to practice self care and just life a life as a hermit which if I’m honest, it’s all I want to do anyway. I’m attending coda meetings and speaking my truth, intense work with my trauma therapist every day, and my wonderful kundalini guide. Apart from thar I go for massages and do dance, yoga, swimming and kayaking. It’s crazy on a daily basis all those Kriyas and processing but what else would I be doing if not KA? Life a life in confusion and denial? No thanks.

[@ammamaw]

OMG. I can’t believe I found you. I’ve been looking for help and answers for this since I realized what was happening. Many years of spiritual study and training, but I believe now that mine was triggered by Covid. I was nearly paralyzed and bedridden for almost 3 years with unbelievable neurological pain, burning & wild sensations throughout my body. Everyone said nothing could be done but miraculously the doctor of a loved friend, tried a drug that calmed the intense burning neuropathy enough so I could start to physically recover. There is much that I am left with, Bliss, yes, but wild emotion & near constant weeping. I am still struggling to cope. I will join your group.🙏🏻

I think I had mine accidentally last year. I had this lower back pain for awhile. One day I was sitting on the couch folding clothes, and I felt weird.....I started freaking out and I got up to walk to my bed to lay down. As soon as I got up, I lose control of my body and I felt this huge surge of energy, my body was just shaking intensely and my hands were stuck in a this weird position and I remember thinking to myself “get up, get up” but I couldn’t gain control of my body anymore and then all of a sudden, it’s like I was trying to exit my body. I can’t describe it but it’s like my consciousness left...and then as quick as it started, it was over. And it’s been a rollercoaster ride ever since.

[@nickidaisyreddwoodd5837]

I just realized that hope and shame is interwoven in my life because my parents have been my financial supporters so far and yes I am 53 haha and that very thing contains the shame and the hope and suspended state of mind. For 53 years I have lived with this dull basso continuo of uneasy underlying pain and this inability to really relax. (My mother was the one with that guilt pushing energy not my father. I'm a woman my name is Nicki. Kenny is my former dog.) I know now the entire context of this it took me my entire life to find out and systematically I worked myself towards this final day where I told my family that I don't want any of their money and inheritance anymore and I need to leave them for my own personal protection and sanity. (If parents are unconditionally loving and give money from the heart it is a different story all together and that happens extremely rarely that parents are free from pain, shame and pride.) My parents have much pain and everything is unconscious thus they put shame on me. When I freed myself from that guilt tripping burden that entire load which I have been depicting as heavy suit cases has all fallen off. I had this cartoon in my head of me standing there with open arms and my family loads me up with their suit cases then I stand there with the suit cases on my arms and shoulders and then they demand from me "Now fly" and as I try to fly to their command all that my body is able to manage next is to fall over forward right on my face with the sound "ufff". I have been wanting to paint that with acrylic on Styrofoam but it's not necessary anymore. I have let go of their suit cases. I still can't fly but at least I can walk on my own in freedom.

[@seeing2087]

Good thing I already had let go of everything before kundalini. I experienced the positives like bliss, love, joy, happiness ect. I did experience ringing in the ear for 5 minutes and clear whitish flashes when I closed my eyes. Negatives I experienced was jerking of the body, body overheating, pressure in my 3rd eye and ect. But nothing too serious Now I’m in 5D feeling like I’m in a dream it’s like I can leave my body

[@SuperKris1981]

Hi Craig, it's really wonderful to hear someone speak about kundalini from their own direct experience, and clarify the experience in contrast to other energetic movements in the body through yoga for example. For the past six and half years of mostly torture as well as incredible bliss st times, and having this energy literally tear through my life like a tornado. Listening to you gives me reassurance that I'm not alone with it, that someone else understands it and knows it directly. Even though it eats me up 24 hours a day, without let up, with a persistence that makes me question how much more I can take, paradoxically I wouldn't have it taken away. I have a question in regards to bodywork, could you make a suggestion as to what type of bodywork might be helpful, as I struggle mostly with the head pressures which feel like blocks, and can take quite sometime to release and get very intense. Is there anything that might be helpful, I already do vipassana, but I'm keen on any suggestions you might have. Thanks you very much :)

[@craigholliday]

Kris, I encourage you to speak with a teacher and get some one on one advice as to why the energy is blocked and how to work with it. If you feel moved to work with me, there is information on my website about that. Kundalini is a very powerful, disorienting and confusing process; although some good instruction from a teacher can radically reorient how we work with this process. That being said, I would suggest cranial sacral work if the energy is in your head. But anything you can do to deeply relax your nervous system will most likely be helpful. And yes sometimes it is just painful as the process opens new channels within you. Your job is to relax, surrender and open. Also, in addition to doing vipassana, I encourage you to work with a heart based meditation practice and to visualize the energy pouring out of the top of your head, gently guide it through the crown and up and out of you. In addition, I encourage you to deeply investigate your experience, I found that what I first thought of as pain and pressure in my head, was actually a brilliant light....it took me about 6 months of suffering with it to discover this....things are not always what they seem, especially if we look at our life through the lens of ego.

[@anonimobrasilia3015]

Real history of spiritual enlightenment and kundalini. Here is a summary of what I went through to the direct experience of lighting, in 1991 (I was 19 years old) I had a car accident, in which I hit my head, but specifically the forehead on the steering wheel, it was almost 6 years of headache about sleeping until I actually slept 1 hour a night in the first 4 years, the fact is that this led me to a mental concentration beyond the human to endure the pain ,,,,,,, also entered a phase of deep reflection about the attachment to matter, since the car was my mother's and she suffered because I had hit her car, I just thought it was just matter and nothing else, I did all the medical exams of the time, several specialists, if I discovered nothing unusual, I also began to feel a kind of enormous pressure on the genitals and a muscle spasm of the shore about 15 centimeters below the nape of the neck and I began to feel as if my body were entering a violent pressure inside , I sometimes felt the pressure so strong on the genitals that I masturbated to relieve the pressure, I also began to feel as if I were sinking on the planet, I also began to feel like I was disconnected from the world, a horrifying sensation, it seemed like it was a walking stone, I felt nothing for anyone, it seemed that my heart had completely dried up, I felt no love for anything and no person, I began to think of macabre thoughts, but it was as if a part of me was there watching everything that was happening in the my inner, in my mind, it seemed that I was fighting in my own mind with an army of millions, every day and I felt myself clearing my own mind all the time, I began to study spiritual books, spiritists, yoga, ramatis, and apply the teachings of Jesus, ramatis and everything I felt was good for me, I started attending a spiritist center and participating in works of charity, in that same period I met a the girl that made my heart move, but at the same time I felt that one day she would leave me, I began to feel love for her, something that amazed me because until the moment I did not feel anything for anyone or anything, I felt like a walking robot, and after a year of dating she left me, she was already 16 years old and I was 24 years old, the fact is that we did not transavamos and I treated her like a goddess, even the way to touch her. talk to her, but we did not move, in time she and I began to exchange caresses but accentuated, more ardentes with horny in the popular, but I felt that of my chest leave love growing for her and also felt the love coming out of his breast, it was as if I absolved his magnetism, his energy, at the same time I did charity work at the spiritist center as I distributed soup to the needy, I applied the gospel to myself, I became a vegetarian and I began to watch over my words, and my thought continued in the interior dialogue, it was as if I were clarifying another being within myself, which became more and more meek, docile, I tried to get rid of the pain that consumed my head, in a state of silent despair, then I was very sensitive, and I was very nervous, I could not have sex with her, I just failed, I did not have an erection (because my body was being transformed inside, I felt energies moving inside my body and as if I was going through a kind of rejuvenation and biological evolution, I felt the internal organs being redone), we made other attempts, but even with erection I was very nervous and had premature ejaculation, I was capturing energies until of the environments she ended up leaving me, and after 3 days walking and acting like I was a zombie I heard in my ear in my bed before laying a voice saying to FORGIVE HER,

[@karenten23]

The piece about seeing the sensations as pure energy, another face of the divine, has been extremely helpful in my not resisting what happens. What I have been struggling with more than the physical sensations is the immediate reaction from my ego or self or even my body of pure panic. It has also been shocking to experience the depth of darkness and terror that is in my psyche. So very humbling. I don't in any way feel like others have suggested, that Satan is present as some force outside of me. It is completely my own darkness and unconsciousness being illuminated as the energy moves. Thank you for this.

[@shanetomlinson7377]

The Kundalini spirit is a counterfeit of the real Holy Spirit and it's there to deceive people from God, even Christians. There's been many Gurus, New age leaders, and new age people in general, Hindus, the lot, are all coming to Jesus Christ, and they've been delivered. For your own good I truly suggest searching up the testimonies of people coming from Kundalini into Jesus Christ.

Julia Rodriguez this is the wrong thing to say. you can find the kundalini trough special cameras. look up eeg cameras. its a weird thing but has no power to give only to take untill you are brought to total death. it is an intelligent design sure. it makes you wonder what really is in a human

[@sprig3432]

my point is. we need to form a community to discover the root of this. share the information for the future. let it become establish to the scientific community as Kundalini Syndrome. no more secrecy. you are nothing special or otherworldly as the next one. even a pygmy can have the same conscious toughts. we need to stop hiding and discover the root of this and more

There were clearly many egoic layers left to open when this happened. Ideally the non dual realization is there before any big energetics take place to make the process of surrender much more intuitive as the go-to place by default. If this needs to be discovered half way through it sounds like a real challenge!

Hi Craig, thanks for teaching! Who was your teacher?

[@anonimobrasilia3015]

at the same moment I prayed with all my heart for her and for all humanity, thick tears streamed down my face and my heart exploded like an atomic bomb, I felt a great deal of energy moving from the genic chakra to the heart, I also felt how layers were breaking inside my heart and I felt a presence inside the target's target alive inside me, at the same moment I felt that two beings appeared in my room with a feeling of infinite love for me, one of them touched my forehead and felt an energy flooding me and I fell asleep immediately after years without practically sleeping, it was my first night of sleep about 8 hours after years, I flew to a diaphanous place and there I talked with a female entity that I felt was illuminated and told me that she would return, when I woke up the other day something inside me had changed, I felt love for the people and I set a deadline of 10 days for her to come back, which But the relationship was no longer the same, I felt that soon she would leave me for good, one day kissing I had something terrifying, I felt she had destroyed me in a past life and I felt a deep hatred for her, but she passed in a matter of seconds and I had the intuition that I should love her deeply and that's what I did, my love for her only grew, but at the same time I grew up for people, people I did not even know, animals and even rocks, my prayers I began to feel tears coming down and an ever greater love for people, animals, I felt the energy coming out of my chest, another thing that began to happen was that I began to concentrate on the forehead, more and more when I prayed, because I had read in some spiritual book that the light annihilated the psychic bacs of the mind and that they came from past lifetimes ill-lived and that it was necessary to burn them through the light, I began to pray concentrating on the forehead and felt a energy in the forehead at a point between the eyebrows as if it were a coal buried in my forehead, the funny thing is that the pain did not diminish, it did increase, but I grew stronger inside, I began to feel a walking fortress, already I did not complain inwardly of the enormous pain I felt in my head, in fact I began to thank, it was as if I was rescuing something, at that time I was already studying everything that appeared ahead in terms of spiritual books, spiritist, yoga, etc., in a thirst for knowledge but I felt that I was studying a lot that was very superficial, I had not read anything about kundalini and how its mechanism worked and how it worked in relation to sex with love, in my courtship we continued the sarres and tried to fuck, but I could not and she was also nervous, but I touched her more and more with veneration and she confessed that she felt so much love for me that she was afraid, she confessed that dep ois we came back when I kissed her she felt her heart burn in flames, as something had opened, at the same time I knew she also activated her heart chakra, we continued a time of dating, but I continued to feel that the dating would not and that I should prepare myself for the moment of the rupture, and that's what I did, I was living in a way that felt love leave my chest for everyone and for everything, I felt the energy even in the spiritist center that frequented the my hands came out a very strong energy that I felt was used for healing, I also began to capture the thoughts of people, both incarnated and disincarnated, it was as if I knew in essence what people were thinking and feeling, my head began to weigh as if weighed 1 ton,

Hi Craig, im enjoying your videos! I'd been on the spiritual path with several teachers since i was 23 and by 34 after a divorce and recovery from a serious illness that just went on and on... i was feeling this intense unconsolable terror of annihilation where i was even afraid to close my eyes, just this unrelenting energy of death.. i had aome really weird moments where i lost it completely and was writhing around on my bed not even knowing where i was.. scary, no one had answers... finally, finally i couldn't hold on anymore and something unraveled in my head.. i had visions related to what was stuck in life, then a wonderful realization of self nature and non duality.. after that i had no fear of death at all. it was like the world was new and not outside of me. This was 14 years ago now.

[@craigholliday]

Michael, that is a beautiful experience. Often times the kundalini unravels in the midst of a painful life experience. When the ego is met with tremendous pain, sometimes it simply gives up its repressive power and simply lets go. In these moments, something profound within can begin to unravel within us. Our work is to continue to surrender to this inner Intelligence and bring our life into alignment with this awakened consciousness. Thank you for your beautiful sharing. Peace be with you my friend

I've had the weirdest sensations within my spine. It feels like a heartbeat within the spine that pulses to my heartbeat by squeezing and letting go with each beat. I've asked doctors back in 2013 about it and they looked at me like a deer in headlights. As if almost I'm making it up or being a hypochondriac. Its painful. It used to only go from the base of my spine and would stop at the sacral but not sure if I cleared some things because it reaches to the middle of my neck now, when it travels from the base of my spine. I must have a throat chakra block or is it just a process for it to progress up further?
