the awakened Kundalini energy is an extremely powerful force that moves through the nervous system with the purpose of transforming all density into divine light.

the Kundalini awakening impulses a process of energetic cleansing, which can be profoundly destabilising from a physical, mental and emotional point of view. it doesn’t matter how prepared we can be for Her Ascension, the purification process will push us to our most extreme mental and emotional limits.

what happens when Kundalini activates is that we totally lose control. slowly we become conscious that everything, absolutely everything in the universe happens spontaneously. this often translates into the perception of losing control over the physical body, emotions and thoughts. 

the Kundalini works her way through the bodily system bringing up every physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and energetic blockage so that it can healed. this manifests as ‘the dark night of the soul‘, when we have to face all of the wounds we carry within ourselves.

this process can be more or less intense. in my case it was quite violent, traumatising and destabilising, although i am very grateful for everything and recognise it could have been much worse. 

the powerful streams of Kundalini can make us feel that ‘we’ve lost our mind’ or that ‘we’re turning crazy’. additionally, when we try to explain what is happening to us to our friends and family, no one seems to understand what we’re talking about. it can also happen that we are afraid of sharing our experience because it just sounds so absurd.

when Kundalini awakens spontaneously without us having spiritual guiding and support, it can be very difficult to understand what is happening to us. in my case I had the blessing to receive information about what I was going through, however, it took me more than one year to completely accept what I was experiencing. 

the symptoms that we can experience during the process of Kundalini Ascension are probably infinite. each body-mind will be facing its own combination of elements.

I have tried to make a list of the majority of the physical and mental symptoms that I have experienced throughout my first years of energy activation. I believe it is important to stress that Kundalini awakened in my body as soon as I started with a regular spiritual practice and without me having had any previous experience or knowledge about any kind of spiritual or energetic event. I believe and hope that not all people whose Kundalini activates will go through such violent, traumatising and overwhelming processes as myself and other individuals.

the listed symptoms are usually common in the healing process of Kundalini and can manifest at various intensity levels. they can occur at the same time or consequentially or at time distance. we usually experience a very challenging “peak phase”. in my case the second year of my awakening was the most difficult and destabilising one.

*heightened perceptions and emotions
*obsession
*depression
*lack of life energy, wanting to ‘escape’ the body and planet earth
*suicidal thoughts
*disconnection between thought, emotion and action
*distance and total detachment from the body and the physical dimension
*nauseas, decrease or increase in appetite, spontaneous fasting
*aches in the whole body (including bones) that can be very acute and deep
*physical and mental paralysis
*inability to think, talk, concentrate, move
*slowness in movement, word and reflection
*difficulty to engage in and maintain small talk
*loss of mental and physical control
*impossibility to manage emotions
*explosions of rage or sadness
*uncontrollable screaming and crying
*fear of social situations
*having non-stop visions (of all kind, also very terrifying)
*sounds in the head (screams, weeping and chants)
*convulsions and trembling up to extremely strong
*hyperactivity
*chronic fatigue
*insomnia
*need to sleep A LOT
*mental confusion up to extreme levels
*delirium and hallucinations

*migraine, pressure and ache in the brain
*sensory and psycho-sensory hypersensitivity, especially with noise, very negative energies and masses of people
*muscular tension
*increase or decrease of sexual energy and desire

to end with a more positive note, when our body starts integrating the healing, we can expect the following physical and mental states, also permanently:

*absolute presence in the present moment
*deep physical relaxation which seems to happen at a cellular level
*spontaneous and prologued full-body orgasms
*ever-lasting feelings of joy, bliss, love and peace, undisturbed by external circumstances
*states of deeply relaxing and loving mental trance
*feeling intimately connected with our inner being or soul and as a consequence feeling more intimately connected with other people and non-human beings such as animals, plants, rivers, ecosystems and spirits
*developing psychic, shamanic and healing skills
*deep faith and trust in the Divine Plan
*increased concentration, creativity and intelligence
*experiencing the body as extremely light and totally held and cared for by the Divine
*perceiving one’s mind-body as a channel or embodiment of Divine Love and Light
*fully Uniting with Divinity on all levels (Sacred Soul Merge)

as you can see, the list is quite long. the Kundalini Healing Process can make us touch and overcome our physical, emotional and mental limits. that is why we need help. we cannot do it by ourself. we don’t have to do it by ourselves. you always have your soul, spirit guides and God guiding you: ask for help. talk to them. tell them to help you, support you, guide you.

sometimes, we might also need external support, so look for and find any kind of healer or therapist that resonates with you and that respects your process, even if they don’t really comprehend it. we need a kind of help that understands us, that has an understanding of this phenomenon. an uninformed therapist can be dangerous for our already deeply challenged mental health.

i suggest reading Tara Springett‘s book on healing Kundalini Symptoms and maybe booking a session with her if you feel called to work with this amazing human beings. she has provided therapeutic support for more than a thousand individuals going through Kundalini awakening.
