Open asked what Openhanders are experiencing with kundalini energy so I thought I’d share how kundalini is affecting me.

I confess to feeling a bit nervous when I started to experience kundalini energy in my base chakra – most experiences I had read about seemed quite scary with it all happening in one hit, but I am fortunate to be having a very gentle activation. It has probably been going in for a couple of months – I feel the powerful energy rising, then presumably hitting a block, at which stage all sorts of emotional stuff comes up to be dealt with, after which it moves a bit higher and so on. Sometimes it is powerful enough to require me to lie down as it is accompanied by body twitches and movements and when it was working in my throat chakra I felt some vocalisations were needed to help it move. Sometimes I can feel totally discombobulated (love that word) for hours, but this is greatly eased by a visit to the nearby wood where I go most days to meditate.

Sometimes I am just aware of it stirring in my base for hours at a time. My perception is that it feels like it works it’s way through big blocks like boulders in the flow as it rises and then returns to clear bits of rubble blocking a full flow once some energy has passed through (I may be wrong but this is how it feels). Some energy has made it to the third eye and now, while it still rises powerfully sometimes to one or other of the chakras, sometimes it is much more gentle and feels like a gentle infusion of energy throughout my body.

I decided early on to totally surrender to each experience as it happened and possibly as a consequence of this so far it only rises powerfully when I am in a position to do so. I’m really grateful nothing beyond gentle stirring has happened when I have to be somewhere where I don’t have the privacy to do this.

Unsurprisingly, lots of emotional stuff has come up, some of it unexpected and unguessed at as an issue and my perspective on some things has been challenged and consequently changed. Also lots of synchronicity, especially with birds.

I can now often feel my energy field extending about a foot from my body and am becoming aware of an occasional loving ‘presence’ and as I can’t seem to identify it as ‘other’ I wonder if it is myself at a soul level that I can sense.

My initial fear of it has now gone and I feel only wonder and excitement at where it is going to take me next!

So that is where I am now – I do wonder if an awareness of the energy remains once kundalini has fully risen (as I am guessing the awareness of my energy field will remain) or whether it dissipates on completion?
