Kundalini energy a double edged sword...

What is the nature of reality?
Hi Chris
I experienced the release of kundalini up my spine when i was 24, i was meditating on my own in the dark in a friends flat, my spine went bolt upright and i was enveloped in the most incredible energy, it seemed like time stood still, it could have been a minute or an hour im not sure, all i could see was white light with my eyes open or closed and I had the reassuring feeling that it was a good thing, like being surrounded by pure love, because of course i didn't know what the heck was happening, its only been since having read about things and came across this phenomenon that it made sense.
In the energy release I was shown a series of images like diagrams of how the earth works as an energy system, like the blu prints, the hard wiring underneath. This release was so powerful that I with no prior knowledge of what this was, it sent me completely crazy, it blew my mind, i got increasingly worse, struggling to live with a now completely different reality than anyone else around me and with a shattered nervous system i became increasingly worse until it became so torturous about 3 years later i attempted suiced, several times.
If you are teaching people these things you should be very careful and forewarn them that it aint all roses and starlight mate.

Hi David,
I find it really interesting to hear of your experiences. When I was 20 years old I had a major spiritual awakening - no labels to define it, no one to talk to - so I just carried on with life as usual - except I was looking at the world with a completely different awareness. I experienced a bolt of light energy through my body, and shot right through my head as a fountain of light... my entire being became emersed in divine light, and the world literally fell away from me. The experience gave me a powerful dose of reality (erm.. as opposed to illusion that I'd been saturated in!), and a direct experience and connection with the truth. As you say - it is mind blowing... and integration in the world that we know can be somewhat challenging. I fully experienced the oneness of all things! I mean - yes this is most divine and beautiful, but it presents a vast array of challenges. It meant that my levels of compassion skyrocketed.. any lack of compassion on my part meant a torturous pain in my heart. I felt it with remarkable intensity - the suffering and pain of Mother Earth and the creatures and animals we share the planet with. My awareness of the 'oneness' was so prevalent that I fully felt the suffering of the planet and creatures around me with ferocious intensity. Eventually, I learnt to integrate this to the point where it became a most beautiful way of life.
It was an incredible gift, that has guided me to be of 'service'. Life is truly amazing.. but only when I allow the natural flow of the universe to guide me in each given moment (the degree of peace in my heart is always a great indication of whether or not one is flowing with oneness of all).
I wholeheartedly agree with you - it is not just always a pretty picture. The challenges of integration consistently brought me right in to the centre of my heartspace, and still do to this day.
In Love and Light

Kundalini energy should be directed into the body...
Hi David,
Thanks for the feedback. Yes I realise Kundalini energy is to be respected. However, this IS the energy of ascension and needs to be mastered if we are to continue on our evolutionary path. That's what Openhand Meditation is all about. The energy is released and then channeled into the body rather than straight upwards. If the energy goes straight upwards, you get peak experiences which can also be very dangerous.
However, if the energy is channeled into the body, the effect is not nearly so dramatic because the energy 'illuminates our darkness' and catalyses it's transformation - so the power is used up. Only when the mind and body are pure and balanced does the energy flow straight through the body and THEN upwards. Hence the practitioner can deal comfortably with the kundalini energy and it becomes a part of daily life.
That's why I would encourage daily practice of Openhand Meditation or some other similar artform.
Cheers
Chris
