Kundalini Awakening Stages. A woman messaged me a couple of weeks ago very worried about her son who was having a frightening Kundalini Awakening. I never got to speak to the son, however I sent the woman to the expertise of a trained teacher (my Guru).
A true sceptic, I am dubious about all things spirituality until I have experienced the healing & strengthening powers myself. Although I consider myself to be more of a student than a teacher I am pretty good at guiding people to feel good through music, movement & breath. It was through the breath that I had my own version of a Kundalini Awakening.
It is usually a traumatic experience that firmly places us on the path of awakening. If you read my blogs, you’ll know the catalyst for mine. In 2007 I walked away from life as I knew it and a man that I loved in America to start fresh in New Zealand. Upon returning to New Zealand, my father died suddenly & unexpectedly of a heart attack within weeks of me seeing him. My sister was very sick and my mother was fighting to keep my nephew from being taken into foster care. With my father & partner gone, my sister and mother barely hanging on, and my friends in another country, I had no support network. Feeling alone, I hit bottom and it was this trauma that led me to shed an old skin.
Unbeknownst to me, I was not only leaving life as I knew it, I was to become an entirely new woman over the years to come. These are the Kundalini Awakening Stages.
Trauma
If the pain of trauma is intense enough we can become crippled by it. If you cannot move forward, it means you are meant to rest. Being in pain is not a time to be productive. You will only produce things based upon your pain.
Instead, be with the pain & don’t fight it.
When I was there, I would get up before dawn to practice daily yoga & meditation. Through the gentle movement which was connected to my breath I found freedom. Every time I practiced, tears would flow as I shed the skin of the woman I had once been. Sick often, (another sign of Kundalini Awakening), it was through this physical and emotional pain that I rested. A stronger & more resilient woman was preparing for birth and she would emerge only when she was ready. It was in these quiet times that I would get gentle urges of what I needed to do. I followed this instinct every time.
Myth says that the Kundalini is a snake that lays coiled at the base of your spine. When it awakens it pierces each of our main energy centres on its way to the crown. This is the beginning of our journey from child of the Earth to an Awakened spiritual being that is grounded in reality.
Breath & Meditation
I couldn’t meditate. My thoughts were consumed with memories of the past. Instead I learned to go into deep trance via intense and guided breath.
Through Breathwork with a trained teacher, Graham Mead, I began to move stuck energy from my energy centres. Each energy centre (Chakra) is connected to a self-developmental stage. If the energy stagnates or becomes knotted in any particular chakra, we may encounter problems in that area of our life.
For example, my trauma occurred at my first two energy centres. The first Centre is the Root Chakra. Here our basic needs of tribal security (family) and physical health are met. If your family or fundamental health is in crisis, the root chakra can experience problems. For me, everything that gave me security had been removed. I was learning to meet my own needs and become a strong adult. As this occurred the energy at my first centre began to flow.
The second Centre is the Sacral Chakra which governs sexual relationships and our female / male balance. I had lost my male counter-part and I was now learning how to function as a whole and balanced woman without him.
Falling apart
During a Kundalini Awakening an old way of life will not work anymore. People can have personal crises, a change of opinion, tastes, likes and dislikes.
This had already happened for me in America. The life I was living there was not enough for me. My feet were itchy and as I hungered for a new life, my relationship began to fall apart. The gorgeous little town that I lived in with foxes, chipmunks, Aspen trees and snow-capped mountains wasn’t enough. I eventually flew home alone. Upon coming home, life as I had left it also didn’t fit. The things that had once made me happy didn’t bring me joy anymore. My eyes looked to a new horizon.
I became terribly ill, waking up one night with a fever & chills so bad I couldn’t move or walk. I was rushed to hospital unable to stand on my own. I stayed there for two nights with crippling body aches (particularly my hips), fever and physical weakness. Under IV antibiotics, X-rays and observation I was eventually well enough to leave hospital without a diagnosis. To this day I still do not know what was wrong with me but I sense it was one of the Kundalini Awakening Stages.

Hospitalised with fever, chills and severe body aches
The falling down can manifest as life or health crisis as well as a desire to change career or leave a relationship. We may start to dress differently or even change our political and religious opinions. We may feel we cannot uphold the roles we once played. I gravitated to new people, I dressed differently, I acted differently and my health both deteriorated and began to strengthen. Eventually a quiet inner confidence began to soar.
Liberation
This occurs at the same time as the falling apart. I found this phase quite magical as I vacillated between crises and liberation. I remember driving along Auckland’s North Shore motorway and being blown away as downloads of new thought dropped into my head. Realisations about who I had once been shocked me and I saw myself through new eyes. I realised how absolutely crap some of my behaviour had once been. I also realised the crap that I had once put up with that I would never stand for again.
It was absolutely fascinating as I saw myself through the eyes of others. I accepted the stark realisation that I was both less than I had once thought, as well as more than I had given myself credit for. As this energy began to flow my meditations became profound. Once I began to embody the new information that was bought to me, my mind cleared of thought. I was channelling thought directly into experience. I wanted to move, live and serve those who loved me. I gravitated towards people who wanted to do the same.
I became less selfish and turned my focus on the physical world and the people in it. Through five Kundalini Awakening Stages, I felt healed.
Live
The journey took many years and sh!t it was tough. Here I am though, new and improved. Ask anyone who knew me as a young adult and they’ll say I look different, I act different and I’m almost a different woman. I am a different woman. Once the Kundalini snake begins to stir, there isn’t much that we can do except to ride the crazy rollercoaster that it will take us on.
I could never have done it without perseverance and without the guidance of many teachers. In particular the man that I sent the woman’s son to, Graham Mead.
If you are experiencing crisis, malaise, severe health problems or life just doesn’t feel quite right anymore, it could be that you are beginning to awaken.
I’m here for you if you need guidance on your journey.
Big love. D
Wonderful entry thank you Denise. Feel I might be on a similar path… hope so xx
Thanks Vicki. It’s a rewarding journey and worth the hard work. Reach out if ever you need xx
I’m at the fever and chills part, similar thing happened with me, had severe chills one night suddenly and I couldnt move. In fact while I’m writing this, the chills are persistent.
Is this the last stage?
Hi Vicki,
For me it was the very beginning stage. But I don’t think it is the same for everyone and it will depend on how much more you have to clear out and heal. The entire process took about 5 years, and we all go through 7 year cycles. So depending on how committed you are to the process it really does vary for many. It also depends on how thorough you want to make changes. I was looking for total transformation so I kept going until i felt 100% happy with myself and my life.
Not every body can use kundilini you need to get in touch with
Your 5 sensors it can’t
Just open your sight
Smell relaxed mind hearing feeling the air surrounding your body ,heart needs to slow down neverous energy will not centre you energy centres your pores on your skin need to relax and open your visual mind to know and see your self from a out side
And know you exsist in the now activating my ears first of all to do that close you eyes lists to the insects when you can hear the insects move to the ground animals one U hear that open your eyes and look as far as the eyes can see visualise that spot then close your Eyes and wait
For the eagle whistle so siting waiting for that sound is quite difficult these days but disapline breathe only through the
Nostrils and breathe that enables the energy to slowly stack in your heart chakra like spinning light energy ring then the kundilini is a unlimited source of energy that is the ingnition for that pineal gland to open like a flower and at that moment its like being under water then poking you soul out of the surface and the clarity and direction my intuition the way I interact with people around me when inspiring my self and processing massive amounts of information
Where I see thing written between the lines of coded information it basically feels like just excuse me I just have to use some quiet time to
Have a chat to
My spiritual guide which may even be me they guide me through intuition the inner self focus 8000% sex drive goes from a normal 4 straight to 10 and my body is buzzing but Dru!Ming for me is the rythem of motion a complete engine that doesn’t die or dim it keeps me awake for 4 days then mind goes what I feel exhausted and go to sleep I can sit in one spot for 2 days and not feel hungry or thirsty or physically tired because I am only using mental thought in my own environment without being interrupted and it was on recently I found out the name I just thought I was special but my focus on information now is incredible I can remember years ago how old I was in certain event at the moment I feel 70%grounded 3 days awake but getting to
100% is going to be a transformation that I think will be
Assension I am quite great full I am at 70% used to 20% of well being for I mean 23 years it gets a challenge in view and self sabotaging is the toughest mindset to overcome it’s a NLP NEURO PLASTICITY REORGANIZER LIKE CLIMBING A CLIFF EVER HOUR BUT HEY I NEXT IDEA IS TO WRITE A MANUAL ON INTUITION AND HOW TO LET IT take the driver’s seat that is the most powerful tool that controls your inner system functions at optimum frequency bring the real information in to the now and trusting it 100% And being truthful by your own standards I am finding that being my self I feel I can express a little crazy thoughts because I am litterly walking on new ground as I discover I am a teacher to my self and a student at the same time and I am loving it so I feel that it is encouraging me to carry out the direction it’s drawing me ..well
Glad that’s is said processed it and going walk have beautiful

Hi Denise, first off I would like to say well done for finding that inner peace which we all crave and for all the good you’re doing by sharing your story! Thank you. Second I would like to ask how I would go about achieving some sort of peace too, I too lost someone, my younger brother passed away in front of me from a massive heart attack he was only 38! With severe medical health issues, trauma and grief I feel I’m at a crossroads and no idea which way to turn. I’ve been told by a very respected medium my kundalini is blocked, if you have an advice I’d really appreciate it. Thank you in advance. Kim
Hi Kim,
Wow sorry to hear about your loss and the challenges you’ve faced.
I did find peace & happiness, and it firstly came from not resisting the uncomfortable feelings that I was experiencing. I did that through breathing, meditation and vinyasa yoga – alot of it!
Blocked kundalini (or blocked energy in general) was experienced by me through feeling my emotions become free. I felt negative emotions which, after breathing through them eventually transformed into understanding, release (of people, situations, old beliefs and old preferences), peace and happiness. This took time (years).
Once I felt more positive, that positivity started to become evident in my life. Things changed, I expected better things and wouldn’t accept crappy experiences. If negative people or experiences wouldn’t move away from me I’d move away from them.
I also found teachers that I could relate to. I was lucky to be surrounded by the perfect yoga teachers for me as they worked at my very own yoga studio. I also had a meditation and breathing teacher that I did one on one work with.
Finding a good teacher that you respect and trust (breathwork, meditation, yoga or whatever you are drawn to) is key.
I hope this helps. Good luck x
Hi I am selvakumar, I feel I am under kundai awakening process.I feel so much of back pain.Loss of weight.severe numbs.Head pressure.Pls tell me the process.Or mail me.I cannot tolerate the pain.Thank you.
Almost four years since I did an activation meditation still continuously have popping in my ears uncontrollable movements in my body never really sleep anymore the symptoms have been unpredictable and uncontrollable never the same one day to the next but always similar feel the bones crack in my back and neck as I just take breaths. I have faith in the process sometimes helplessness will overcome then I’ll read something like your post that randomly pops up. Thank you for showing me I’m not alone or crazy well officially I am crazy but that’s only on paper because they can’t explain the symptoms.
Hi John, I’m glad it helped! Good luck and keep going.
My name is Tunwanda I was wondering what was why I was feeling the way I was until I came across your article. I read everything and I know I’m going through the same thing it brong chills over me I would like to know more about this
Hello john. My name is Oben, currently living in Los Angeles. if you are comfortable with sharing your journey please reach out so i can send you my email. I have been labeled crazy lately as well, lol and advised to check my mental health because my symptoms make no sense. My family says its anxiety and stress i should leave California.
My girlfriend left , accused me of practicing voodoo.
Your story is spot on with what i have been going through for the past 2 years. Thing with my energy is that it affects everyone and everything around me. There are shadows and always feels like there is some thing or someone around me.
Electro magnetic currents
Gnarly headaches
Involuntary movements within
Visible changes physiologically
Weird sleep patterns
Strange Movement’s while i sleep
Occasional déjà vu dreams
Random clicks and pops in my bones
Extreme pain in my feet
stay strong my friend if you have to cry it out do that as well don’t give up we just have to survive through this I believe it will help change the world maybe not the world but the humans in it, not sure how much advice I can give you only tell you what doesn’t and what does work for me
Xjps1980@gmail.com forgot to give you this in case you want to keep in touch on another note I broken up with my girlfriend a few times over this she never accuse me of Hulu but just think I might be possessed I tell her I am by the Holy Spirit because I know it’s nothing evil it’s just difficult
Whenever you do meditation do it with your feet in salt water. I think the pain in your feet is being caused by energy blockage. Kundalini raises frequency which causes denser energies to try to clear out through the feet (the salt water will help break that down)
Hi Oben. How are you doing? What’s the update with your symptoms and why?
Your story is a classic example,once the energy shifts hold on tight,well done for persevering and not succumbing to the base chakra,it takes knowledge of self and determination,when you are ready the elemental world helps the body to adjust,right and left brain integrated to a full integration and can feel like a brand new personality emerging,the true self..
Oneness,everything else is illusion love is the only truth,when you reach nirvana and the higher world’s await your return.love love love,is the road home
Thank you and once things started to change – I felt there was no turning back. It was an incredible journey.

Hi. Any advice on some tools with regards to sleep.. Not even sure if it’s necessary.. This is a moment to moment, spontaneous journey now.. Now I can look back at six heightened experiences in the past. The seventh, well, boom boom boom.. Really appreciate the responsibility, intention and purpose.. However sleep, energy and finding a balance has been interesting. My gut says just go with the flow. Got this far without guidance from a person.. Take care happily..
Hi Mark,
My approach to sleep sounds like it was similar to yours, go with the flow – but consciously. I used to get very clear direction in the nighttime. Like enforced meditation I’d watch my thoughts & feelings, sometimes for hours. Even when I wished I could sleep, if it didn’t come I treated it like there was something waking me to understand; so I took notice.
Then there are the natural common sensical tips…. don’t watch telly in bed before sleep, meditate, do yoga or journal first. Wind down rather than go from wakefulness to sleep, omit caffeine in the afternoon.
I hope this helps.
Hi. My wife is going through it now. Im educating myself. How can I be more involved and not an hindrance. Thanks
Hi there,
She will go through the experience on her own, but you can simply support her as her husband and realise that she will have good days and bad days. As the old saying goes, love her ‘for better or for worse’.
Good luck 🙂
Hy Vicki I need help
Hello friend. And thank you for the insight about resting.
You are welcome x
Thank you for the details of your experience. I’m currently headed for an awakening. Could have happened a few nights ago, but as the Third Eye started to open, I thought, “S**t. My roommates. I haven’t told them about the awakening I’m headed for. Is it gonna get all loud in the house all of a sudden? Will either of ‘em call 911 or something? (Though my response to the Kundalini rising was actually fits of laughter.). ♂️
Either way, my insecurity about it all stems from the want to having the Awakening in a safe and secure space. Kind of a difficult thing to ensure while we’re holed up in quarantine.
Hi Joe,
Communicate clearly with your housemates what is occurring for you and stay grounded. Hopefully your roommates are supportive and understanding. To stay grounded ensure that you balance meditation with slow conscious physical activity. This could be exercise, or at home activities like cooking, organising the house or gardening (if you have outdoor space).
Eat dense, hearty foods (root vegetables are good for this) and actually pay attention to the positive aspects of your environment. This will help you stay connected and embodied, which is very important during times like this.
I hope this helps!
Hi. My wife is going through it now. Im educating myself. How can I be more involved and not an hindrance. Thanks
Hello Thank you for sharing the experience. I sometimes feel electrical waves in my body, sometimes i feel constricted.
Hi Denise, thank you so much for sharing your story with us, it really helps to read about your experience of an awakening.
My father passed away over three years ago and I just haven’t been the same since, heart problems, panic attacks and over the past fortnight I became so sick with foot and legs problems that I couldn’t walk. Today it’s throat and chest tightness.
But like your experience after being taken to emergency and having tests done they found nothing wrong.
I consider myself open minded and in touch with my feelings and thought I had been working through the trauma well, but I am confused by what has been happening, as I was previously a healthy person.
Do you have any advice for what could be happening within me? I would really appreciate your thoughts.
Hi there,
Firstly, I feel for you – i know how frustrating it can be to not be able to find an answer. I can also only speak from my own truth, my experience, and what worked for me. This may or may not be right for others.
An awakening is simply us moving into a very different phase in life where we heal trauma from the past in order to move into a new future. One thing I do know, it is takes time and cannot be rushed.
If your body is suffering and there is no explanation, it is possible that something deeper within you is wanting to be heard and noticed. I call it the language of the body… it speaks through physical injury, sickness and so on, as a way for us to take notice that something is not right. Only you can really find the answer, and that is through searching many different and alternative healing modalities and finding which one resonates with you the most.
If there is no physical explanation, you may like to study the chakras -they hold alot of insight into where the physical body and the subconscious meet. The chakras correspond to different places along the spine and you have mentioned areas associated with the heart chakra, the root chakra and the throat chakra.
I hope this helps and good luck! x
Namaste Thank you for sharing your insights Denise, they have really helped. I will go inward to find the answers x
Hi, I’ve been going through a kundalini awakening for about a month or so now, i didn’t really know much about it, the energy makes me feel so depressed and it’s so hard, I’m trying to do chakra work to bring up the energy and it’s been really challenging the past week and I feel like it’s affecting my relationship, when I first woke up to this energy I lost my job and a lot of things started happening, synchronicity within my life, now I feel so lost and have no way to explain the feelings, I want it to end but I know that I have to go through it, I can’t help thinking that maybe I have to break up with my boyfriend but I love him so much and don’t want to do that as he has been with me from the start and he is truly amazing, he doesn’t want us to break up at all and we have said we are going to get through it together but I really don’t know what to do with myself, I feel like I’m lost in my own life and that’s reflecting in the relationship, I’ve asked my higher self about my relationship and It doesn’t think we should end. I’m stressed that’s a little bit rambly, but if anyone could give me advice on the situation I’d be so great ful✨
Hi Michaela,
Have you considered some type of talk therapy with a counsellor? This can be very helpful to navigate your way through your thoughts and have an objective sounding board for you to come to a clear conclusion on what to do, especially if you are confused.
Love, D
It is as if you have written this so I could secure the same process and the same realizations I had and keep having. Going through these stages and being able to hear, see and feel with control became my rebirth. The truth is, the path has created great energy in me. A well spring that I am slowly learning how to control.
The world looks different but more familiar than it did before.
Hi Denise! Thank you so much for this post. Everything you said resonates with me completely. It makes so much sense to me.
I love your layout of the stages. I feel I am at the stage of integrating the awakening.
Three years ago, age 25, I got my heart utterly shattered by a guy I deeply souly fell in love with, I had broken my foot, I lost my best friend, was in the middle of my ten month yoga teacher training, I lost my new job, went into even more debt, really had to sit and face everything. I couldn’t run. My entire family suffers. Mom, step dad, aunt, uncle all heavily heavily addicted to drugs. The abuse aimed at my grandma angel who raised me. My cousin, age 17 at the time, who she also raised, was suicidal and also abusive. Basically … a mess. I faced literally everything. I had no choice but to surrender and completely let go… or commit suicide. I tried mushrooms for the first time which was by far the most beautiful experience of my life. After seven months of long healing for my foot to finally reach a good point, the universe gifted me with a Subaru to live in and money to get me to California from Florida. Thus, I didn’t know at the time, but my healing journey began.
Now, three years later, I have uncovered literally all of my darkness, I have saved my grandma and her puppy, and we are now safe and sound, being hugged by the Appalachian mountains.
Here is where I set roots. Here is where I integrate.
Thank you for reading. much love.

How many years did it take for the physical symptoms to go away? Did the process have an end?
Hi Matthias,
The physical symptoms from the hospital stay went away (mysteriously) after two nights in hospital and then a few days of taking it easy. They had showed up about a week prior but not as bad. General health slowly improved over a few years. I think it is different for everyone, but the entire process took about 5 years. Much longer than we want to hear, but healing takes a long time.
Hi Ferguson
I don’t know what stage of kundalini awakening I m in right now , but on top of my head I m experiencing severe pressure and heat and mind chattering and feeling lost. And if I concentrate on something feeling lost. Feeling of disconnect with people around me .. sleeping problems
Please help me
Hi Krishna,
Thanks for reaching out. Firstly, any physical symptoms (such as pressure & temperature change on the head) I suggest get checked by a doctor to at least rule anything more serious out.
I can only speak from my own experience and what helped me, but Breathwork was integral in helping to organise my thoughts into something that i could understand. If you google Breathwork or Holotropic breathwork in your local area I am sure something will come up.
I also recommend doing some grounding exercises when you are in this phase. Try to find at least one person that you can connect with (even if it is a paid therapist) so that you don’t isolate yourself. It really is trial and error, as what works for one may not work for another. Keep trying different alternative modalities, be patient and trust the process. It gets challenging before it gets better so don’t let that deter you.
Good luck.
What is the best way to contact you?
Namaste
Hi there. You can get in touch on the contact page of this website 🙂
I was taking a shower and felt something come straight out of the crown of my head! It reminded me of the kundalini and iv felt exactly like iv been going through the same experience. I have trouble sleeping and will be up for a few days and will have spiritual sightings and I will feel afraid then at union with god. It is very beautiful. Iv been practicing kundalini yoga and everytime I practice I feel great amounts of joy come out of me…I am a recovering drug addict and was homeless for 5 years In a bad part of brooklyn. I definently realize that fall to the bottom …not being a stuck up spoiled girl anymore and having a dose of reality made me so much stronger and now I’m at union with god in so many ways. The best part is I have so much to still learn and sense theres a long way yet till I reach my full awakening. I can’t wait to experience that. It feels as if I will fly 🙂 now I know my reason in this earth is to serve others and be the best mother I can be. Namaste!
I have asked a master to help me awaken my kundalini for success, peace ans wealth. It was only a week and i felt so miserable that i cry for no reason. the first 2 days all i want to do is to sleep and not talk to anybody. I still couldn’t function properly and i feel like such a failure. My master told me to meditate, practice breathing, dont control anything, let go and give in. I am also having neck pain and quite constipated. I’ve landed on your site because i was searching for answers as well and i i am alone on this journey. I am not the only one and its comforting to know that there’s a way to fully embrace this new beginning.
You will be fine. Moving into a new phase people often start to feel a disconnect with their current status. That is because it is no longer serving you.
If anything becomes overwhelming, see a professional. There is no shame in taking medication to help when things are tough or too painful. You then use the meditation, breathing, yoga and positive lifestyles changes to keep moving forward until the symptoms subside and you are healthy and happy once more.
Good luck x
Hi Denise, I had a kundalini experience 7.5 years ago.. i got Bell’s palsy due to extreme electric pressure on cranial nerves ..in between I was fine.. then from last 3 years things got awry.. I was fired from 2 jobs in 6 months.. got chicken pox with lasting scars.. gained 11 kgs.. became socially isolated with no desire to Socialize as earlier I don’t find it rewarding anymore.. I have alopecia arreata now apart from other health problems.. I feel low very low.. I’m not sure what is going on ?
Hi Monica, it sounds like it has been a rough few years. I think the entire experience of awakening is always confusing, so only you can be the one to really uncover your underlying issues. The way that I see it, is our physical symptoms are simply a message that we cannot ignore which says something is not right within us.
I’m not an expert, so this is purely from my own experience. I suggest attend to the physical ailments with regular medicine and therapies. This gave me some relief so that I could think clearly and look deeper at what was going on. The deeper discoveries come from your tenacity and faith that through continued searching you will eventually find an answer.
I found holistic treatments and more broad health changes the best when I didn’t know specifically what was going on. Rather than try to pin point exactly what is wrong, make small changes to your lifestyle. Things like eating more pure food (not for weight loss but for the way it will make you feel overall), introduce, or continue with gentle daily exercise such as walking, swimming or yoga. If you are energetically changing, like I did, you may find that you don’t relate to the same people anymore. Perhaps try to find at least one new friend who you mesh with so that you don’t feel so isolated.
Also, (as corny as it sounds), be kind to yourself and don’t beat yourself up for not knowing the answers, it’s a challenging process. As my teacher told me, “the only way out is through”. You could try the book the Presence Process by Michael Brown. It was recommended to me by my Breathwork teacher and I found it helpful. It teaches us not to struggle during challenging times, rather use the process to heal and evolve.
Good luck x
Hey Denise, i can truly relate to what u said, its surreal to explain in details cause it’ll abnormally complex, some times even to me and would be very very long, n at the same time this relating helps n therapeutic to my doubts n keep walkin intuitively this inner felt healthy positive n motivational path and at the same time keeps me further away from the spatial nonsense traumatic chains of an allergic traditional cycle of mental oppression of opposing the ying yang of light n dark of that manipulative western path i’ve had vitally suffered for . until prior January this year , the balance of both sides while i was rebellious to common traditional side, the dark of it exposed itself thru years stuck in this psychological and emotional pressure, where i live i’ve never got actual respect accept humiliations rejections , anxious angerish feelings of revenges to an inner core, and synchronic apathy towards for running my opposite sex aim opportunity, this still impacts but now mostly in understanding silence but mostly because i took it into an alternative access by paying n at the same time reliving my nervous tactile frustrations, aside that, i’m naturally different from the many majority still both of my hand lines are palmer creased so i have to balance without resisting connivingly but depends about the nature to no more an obsessive compulsive point or repetitive doubts, and in between these geometrical criticism hemispheric tightening pressures of morbid lies in my eyes, i’ll relief myself in the middle of them n into my deep natural upward willing to live ro win states , Hinduism self nature that is, and i can truly understand your struggles n the many times being misunderstood b the common cheap peasants but those that understand n vice versa will be very beneficial to relate to after those annoying nauseating struggles i’ve immensely n its the most main reason i’m typing easily with no blockin doubts, its actually not easy to make this level (and obviously i’m meaning it in both verse verses expressing ways, but we made it and the many many majority are stuck in swine lies, more then welcome for communications and its all good, take care
I have been going through the kundalini awakening for just over 3 years for certain, maybe longer. Lost my job, my friends, started having spiritual experiences, led me to start having reiki which is a god send for trapped energy which is what causes these health issues and sleepless nights. It cleared my head enough to decide to leave my home town as just didn’t feel like there was anything there for me. Randomly picked 100 miles away by the sea on my own.
Since being here ive given up alcohol when I was taught how to do reiki for myself. I realise I need to heal myself fully before I can do it to others don’t want to spread any of the bad energy of my past. Realise I’m meant to be a healer and was born with that spirit in me.
Now yoga is my daily addiction and eating super healthy! All makes sooo much difference!
At first I thought why can’t I live a normal life, but now I love this new way of life, the highs are way beyond what a glass of wine would get me! I’m still in hell with the trauma occasionally but we’re healing our whole self since birth, the energy and trauma that created us is triggering our emotions, making us super sensitive. Sometimes I don’t know why I’ve been triggered or why it feels so bad, most the time I just breathe through it if I can’t do yoga or other form of exercise, for eg driving, breathing in healing green light deep into my heart and BACK OUT again, making sure I exhale for as long as my inhale, dropping the thoughts as much as possible to let the heart take over. With practise your heart should heal the energy built up and trauma before it gets too strong, talking to a professional therapist who can help us understand our traumas is also a must for most even if you are one already, to have someone guide you and witness your release of the past makes all the difference, thinking about it or talking about it to a friend can sometimes make the triggers worse.
Thank you for sharing, I cried reading this, so glad it is normal. I’ve been practicing Kundalini for about a year after an awakening experience 17 mo ago. My moods have been crazy, I get triggered at the drop of a hat, then I also fluctuate to extreme peace and fulfilment. I’ve struggled with my family and husband like never before. It IS a crazy ride. Due to isolation and Covid I have no teacher or guru, just what literature and videos I find on the internet so it is great to hear your discussion, thanks again!
Hey my activation took place in July 2019, as you said it took 5-7 years,
My fear is that I am currently 35 year old with no job and not married, living with parents, as I listened to many people average year is 4-7 year, it means I can stand on my feet at 40, what if all this is hallucinations,
at present I am at nowhere and after 5-7 year what if I will be at nowhere, hope you understand my dilemma, I don’t know how the hell I landed on your page.
Hi there.
That is tough to answer. Firstly, I can only advise as a friend that you have stumbled upon online. I am no expert either – simply writing from experience.
Everything is perception. What is real for you, will feel like hallucinations to others and vice versa. So you must believe in what you want to achieve. This is easier said than done because you can’t just force yourself to ‘believe’ something. Slowly move towards that which you want, pay less attention to that which you don’t want without resisting your fears. If you are looking to find a job, get your own place and get married, feel happy for those who have those things and try not to dwell on things.
Good luck x
You can pratice Shanti meditation to bring back Kundalini to center of the body that is Mooladar chakra.
Hope it helps.
I really needed this! I am in my 30s and have been struggling. Thank you!
You’re welcome! Keep on – you will be fine x
Hi there denise
I had my Kundalini awaken during meditation 3 years ago. Atm it seems to rest around my heart. I am just wondering when yours settled down or exited through your crown chakra and how long that process took. Thankyou.
Hi Matthias,
It was about a 7 or 8 year process and it didn’t go systematically through the chakras from the base to the crown. Rather it was all over the place! I did notice once it all settled down, my natural development and evolution then began to systematically move from the base upwards through the chakras. Currently it feels as if it is at my sacral chakra.
I hope this helps 🙂

Is this free or is it a marketing strategy. Too many innocent people fall for these stories that are nothing but falsehoods. Kundalini energy is born with you throughout your various births. It is coiled like a spring in the saccrum bone, waiting to be released. This works out after your self realisation. All is free search the net.
Hi Neville,
I am not sure what you mean by asking whether this is free or a marketing strategy. To clarify, you did not pay to read this blog, I was not paid to write the blog and no paid advertising has been applied to the blog.
The ‘story’ is my personal account of an experience that I had, which I have shared with readers. Personal accounts & opinions shared online, typically define what a blog actually is.
Hi, My kundalini journey is too crazy to share in comments but one of my experiences was much like yours. One day I went from feeling good and visiting my grandparents to 15 mins or so later I was running a sickeningly high fever and feeling terribly ill and had to be taken to hospital for them to try to get my fever down as nothing was helping. The cause of this was never found out. To top that off when I left the hospital, there was 3 UFOs sitting just above the hospital below the low clouds. This may sound weird but I felt like the UFOs were there due to me.
They stayed in the sky but obviously only my grandparents and I could see them as this was in a city, just before midnight by the time I got out of hospital and noone else was reporting seeing UFOs on the radio or anything. My grandfather who didn’t believe in UFOs but really wanted to know what we were seeing went inside to get his video camera to film them when we got back to his place but it was like they knew that we were about to film them and they then flew off.
I got kundalini awakening, it is painful experience.. on the beginning very painful… I had found myself in the hospital with back pain.. they made MRI for me and nothing was there.. the energy is powerful, the chakras are changing during the proces.. kundalini never stops, when is awaked, but with time start be better and better, mind and body as well life improve.. telepathy, sentivity for energy, people feelings effect alot… It’s tuff but beautiful path
I’m a mess swaring out butsts, pain in my heart of others energy on me. I am such a mess I can’t even begin to explain. I have always been love love love. I’m in a homeless shelter, not eating right. Can’t get the proper help I need. I need help desperately. Please send help….
Which country are you in? There are often free resources to get help and guidance in your area.
Love,
Thank you so much for sharing this! This is very honest and detailed and im happy to say i can relate 100%. I am going through the same steps!! I looked up awakening symptoms (cause im progressing), and i found your link. God bless
Hi Denise,
Thank you so much for everything you’ve shared. I really needed to learn more about this. I had a kundalini awakening last summer, and life has been hell ever since. There were some good things, but mostly really really hard things. And I’ve been experiencing non-stop illnesses for the past 3 1/2 months. So much past trauma has come up, along with current difficulties. How can this kind of awakening be good in any way?
I meditate a lot, and I’ve done some breath work, but it looks like I really need to include more of that. I would’ve started some kundalini yoga, but I’ve been too sick to do anything physical. So the breath work and exercise has been on the back burner.
Hoping things look up….I’d rather just send back the kundalini awakening and have never experienced it, at this point.
Thanks for you help! <3
Hi Cori,
The advice that worked for me that I can pass on to you is “the only way out is through”. This transition is really hard and if we had a choice, we’d never do it so that choice is taken away from us.
Stick with the modalities that you sense are helping, and keep on. I found that a combination of traditional and non traditional / Eastern & Western was the most powerful for me.
We have many cycles, the seven year cycle being one of them. When I surrendered to the fact it was going to be a long road to heal, I found acceptance. Count every tiny improvement you notice, even if it disappears the next day.
I have faith in you. Good luck.
Does the root chakra make us have conflicts with our stomach? Horrible hip and leg pain sciatica degenerative discs by chance? I’ve been meditating started yoga somewhat and do alot of reading research and numerology. I’ve come to my inner peace but there’s just a little piece missing to uncode the messages I’ve been receiving. The pain in my leg and hip is crucial though, I’m able to maintain but it is a big downfall in what I want to accomplish. Any advice would be helpful, thank you so much.
Hi Kara,
Check with your yoga teacher to ensure that nothing you are doing in class is contributing to the hip and leg pain. Any physical activity that we begin (even yoga) can cause new aches and pains.

Hi Denise. I’ve been going through this since 2014. I am 30 years old now and recently I’ve also noticed strong aversions have come up towards things and places and people. I meditate and know my heart chakra is opening more. The release of blocks sometimes feels like i am going back and forth and not making progress. Too many mood swings and buried irritations coming up.
Hello Denise,
I too have had this experience in a most raw and nonlinear way. I’m not sure if one can have this happen more than once in their life but I feel like I may have and may be going through it still. For me, the first time was a few years after my father passed away when I was ten. Once I started coming of age I aggressively pushed my boundaries, hit some walls and evened out for a while. Everything was okay for many years until I started experiencing the heroin epidemic up close. I myself became addicted at one point and actually beat the addiction and am not taking any maintenance drugs for a few years now. The apotheosis and liberation had to happen at that point or wouldn’t actually survive. It wasn’t an easy path at all. During this time, I lost my mother, oldest brother, several close friends (including two close band members) to suicide, several others to overdoses and was involved in an accident where a man lost his life. All of this was way too much to deal with for me to deal with in a healthy manner. I lost my home and all my possessions, including every photograph I ever had of my family, save one. Through all this, I kept a spiritual side alive through thought and meditation and oddly, subconscious dream processes that spilled over into real life at times.
During the beginning of the pandemic, I got sick and wound up in the hospital with septic Pneumonia via an ambulance when I was found unconscious on the street. I was in a medically induced coma for 14 days. When I woke up, I cracked a joke to the doctor. It was then I knew I was hitting the rebound to health. In the subsequent two years I have come out the other side of this life long Kundalini trauma experience a more whole person than I’ve ever been in my entire life. The work is never done. I’ve lost 100 pounds on my own, ended my existing pre-diabetic status, reversed years of damage. I frequently get runner’s high when I’m exercising which I do every morning at dawn. I would have never been this person in the past except for a brief stability period before becoming a teenager. I’ve been promoted twice in the last month and have plans to move to Oregon where I feel my destiny lies. Am I crazy still or just realizing myself?
Reading this in May 2022 and Ig speaks volumes to me. I would love guidance and resources on what to do in this stage.
Thank you.
Hi Denise,
How can I contact you for help?
Regards,
Santosh
Hi Denise. I’m looking for some guidance in my experience. Recently at a silver retreat my kundalini energy moved from root to crown over and over for about 1.5 hrs. I then experienced a slide show of information at a rapid pase. I believe this was a release of things I’ve been holding onto that block the flow of energy through my chakras. Before this experience I had a near death experience where my body completely broke down to the point where I didn’t have the strength to make a fist. My body would not create heat and I lost some involuntary functions. I went into the mountains to face the unknown and felt so much fear. Fear I’ve never felt. I have sense became much healthier but nothing makes much sense anymore. I fluctuate between noticing thought and being overwhelmed with feelings. I love connection but then get caught up in the energy of others expectations. Do I need to continue this journey alone? Having a romantic partner seems to be challenging. Asking this question brings up the answer within me. But any guidance would be much appreciated ❤️❤️
D!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your story!
3 nights ago I was awakened TWICE with a message to research more about Kundalini and root chakra. Doing so led me to your story that has brought so much clarity
Pictures of snakes have been in my awareness lately, now I know why! All a part of learning what in the world is happening inside my body.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Hi
Is anyone having any issues with kundalini
Awakening symptoms I find kundalini yoga ..even just 10 min in the morning and meditation helpful
M
Hey, I recently experienced a Kundalini awaken, and my shorts term memory is really bad.. wondering if it comes back to “normal” at the end eheh
I am 72 years old and have practiced yoga all my adult life. I took up meditation in a big way around 25 years ago. I was aware of energy in my body moving around straight away during practice and it has intensified over the years. I noticed tension moving from my body during meditation as well as yoga practice. Recently the tension started moving from my body in a big way just by me getting into bed and relaxing. I don’t practice meditation any more, the meditation just happens to me without any effort- eg l feel the the energy moving around in me. These days the energy has intensified so much it keeps me awake into the early hours of the morning- 3,4,5 hours, with water and wee breaks. I get very hot. There is no one l know l can talk to about this – the meditation teachers at the retreat l go to don’t know what’s going on and neither do l.. Any thoughts? Thank you, love Katy in England
This was so incredibly helpful for me right now. I almost felt as if it was me writing these words. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! ♥️♥️♥️
Hello! I like this article a lot. I am in the middle of a very dark Kundalini Awakening. Is there someone at the studio that a not fully awakened person can go to for advise on how to survive?
how you going now mate whats you email
Hi Will
So I’m not in the studio and I’m not fully awake yet either, but mine to is DARK and at times VERY scary during some of these ‘visions’ however, I’ve realized the things that make the fear disappear immediately, when I’m having very deep physical pain like in my chest, it’s usually cuz I’m being called to meditate but ignoring it or I’m allowing my fear to take over, and even though this started a year ago, I still struggle with the whole ‘surrender’, have ‘faith’ and the ‘why me? Why would “I” get picked for this” and the biggest for me so far, is the “it’s time to remember who you really are and why YOU volunteered for this mission” moments I’ll have….. I always thought I was nobody so when this started, acceptance of being ‘someone’ was horrifying to me as I couldn’t understand it…. n the last thing was just how emotional it’s been….. I can’t even watch a YouTube about ‘The Chosen Ones’ or awakening, without totally falling apart ( but by the end, I realize, I NEEDED the message and the tears weren’t sad tears but happy….. now my very first ‘vision’ scared me to death as I was NOT seeing very nice things….. I don’t want to say here what I did see as it’s not appropriate and was VERY violent and it left me confused for over a year…… until this year when I was FINALLY made to understand ‘why’ it happened that way n that THAT and my reaction to what I saw and what I said, felt, and wanted to do, was why the decision was made that I had to be woken up…… if you’d like to chat, I could certainly use that to but I’m not positive if you’ll get my info. I’ll put it below as it requests and maybe an admin would be willing to send us each other’s info and we can try to make sense of some of the things we’ve experienced…… id love that!
Just know that it DOES get better and it’s soooooo worth it! I’m not totally awake yet but I love the direction I’m going n I have a feeling I have a LONG road ahead still, but I really want to understand this and connect with others who won’t think I’m crazy for this stuff, you know?? Blessed be and hopefully we can speak soon!

Thank you for sharing your personal journey with kundalini and the highs and lows that accompanied your awakening.
Hey i have been living in Australia for the last 6 weeks but have been living in New Zealand my whole life.. I want to give you a background as to how i got here.. I was going through a hard time at the back end of 2022.. was going through a breakup with a narcissistic partner, Had a career-ending injury in rugby, was living and taking care of a family friend of ours who had dementia and was suffering from with mental health issues from it all. I remember moving back home with my mother and being in a constant state of panic and high stress. my life wasn’t the same and my mind didn’t know how to cope with it… fast forward a couple of weeks at mums, i remember having a full blown spiritual awakening at night where i felt like i had left my body, and my mind was at peace.. the months following it however, were confusing; i struggled to comes to terms with what i was experiencing, and the anxiety and panic attacks continued for a while after that. I thought there was something wrong with me and was floating through life without an understanding of how i felt.. Basically, all of last year was a time of reflection, a dark knight of the soul period, where I was trying to figure out who I was.. my ego took a huge blow, and I had to try and reconnect to a new self. Throughout that process, I started to soul search, join support groups, read and watch spiritual content, psychedelics, meditation, prayer, you name it, trying to make sense of it all… However, although I was going through the awakening, I was still dabbling in illegal and immoral behaviours that weren’t in alignment to me, I knew that these behaviours had to change, and so I made a promise to myself to turn a new leaf. I no longer do drugs, take alcohol, or associate with anyone or anything that gives off negative energy or isn’t aligned with who I want to be It’s been freeing but also very lonely and isolating.
I left for Australia over a month ago to start a new life without family or friends. Along with the lifestyle changes and help from a psychic healer, I was able to clear a lot of negative energy, which activated a kundalini awakening. I felt all the symptoms.. heavily over the last couple of weeks: heat flashes, energy surges, tingles, distorted hearing, etc.. My sleep and eating schedule have been very irregular. I’m at a stage where I think my mind sometimes finds it hard to comprehend what’s occurring and all the shifts that are taking place, physically and psychologically. My senses have all heightened extremely over the last week; I’m noticing synchronicities, and I think I’m beginning to tap into my psychic gifts.
As you said, once you felt like everything was starting to change, there was no turning back. I’m feeling the same way. I’m finding that the intensity of the kundalini is definitely more noticeable in the evenings, and I’m trying to adjust my lifestyle as best as I can to accommodate the changes.
Hi D,
Soooo, I’m very much going thru this I think…. im almost afraid to say what’s happening as when I told some of the people I thought might at least hear me, I was told I was crazy….. I am NOT! I do know ‘something’ is happening and that I’m not ‘hallucinating’ or imagining it as I’ve suddenly just started to ‘heal’…… mind you, Inot even 30 years of CBT, DBT, hypnosis, medications, hospitalizations (short [3-8/D] and long term [1-3/M]) and it NEVER touched the healing I’m seeing in the last 2 months, with NONE of those things….. I very much need help understanding what’s happening as the, umm, ‘experiences’ are certainly not straightforward and often times, takes weeks or months before all of a sudden, Ill just ‘know’ something and have NO idea how, after sooooo many years of getting to understand, the answer just POPPED UP in my head…… With that said, I’m being ‘told’ (not physically in my ear, but I think you know what I mean), some things I have NOT been able to accept and that scare me a little (even though I know I should be honored by them) but just never myself in that light before, but I REALLY need to understand…… The first month or so, I tried everything to convince myself I was losing my mind, I had snapped finally, n that maybe ‘this time’, I should do like 1 year in an insane asylum….. ♀️ Ive gotten past that, finally, as you can only see soooooo many Synchronicities (it’s 9:09, btw ) before you can’t dismiss them anymore….. and I’ve been documenting them since Oct. 2020 after losing my fiance that Feb. (Started 2 days after he passed but I never expected it to continue) and where I used to get maybe 2-6 a day, I not have that within an hour of waking up and the most I had in one day, June 26th, 2024- I had 52…… needless to say, if you saw my photo album, which I’d love to share if out have Google Photos, I can send to you if you’d be interested….. there’s now probably at least 1000+, if not more. my whole story is pretty brutal and not sure Id like to share it on here, but the Awakening, although beautiful, and has changed me COMPLETELY, it’s very very difficult for me as I have severe C-PTSD, MDD, BPD, Anxiety Disorder, SI, SA (BOTH kinds sadly) and I’m sure I’m missing a few….. that being said though, I also feel some of those (Like BPD, and I said this WAY before this stuff happened) is not mental health at all and that’s why they can’t find any good path for us, as I now know, EVERYTHING I was told I was broken because of, I truly believe, is because I had these gifts and that the meds and things I was put on, which oddly enough, isn’t needed by a BPD, seeing as we have NO chemical imbalances…… I think we get suppressed purposely as I truly believe BPDs, are simply the empaths of the world (it’s 9:19 now ♀️♀️) and the ONLY reason we are told were ‘unstable’ is because other people’s actions who aren’t awake or aren’t empaths, simply don’t make sense to us and our makes us even more emotional cuz we can’t function on such a low frequency….. anyway, I could very much use some guidance and I think I just need to speak to someone and see if they can confirm what’s happening, as there’s SOOOOO many rough symptoms for me, and I very much want to know where to go, who to speak to, and how I can hone these new ‘abilities’ I guess! I appreciate any and all time you might have to speak and thanks again for sharing this great journey with us!
