Kundalini Discomfort

Kundali can happen to anyone who suddeny opens spirital portals; they may not necessarily have been trying, either. In fact its common for it to happen to kids in their teens, messing around with the occult, or say, people in their middle age opening up their minds to new thoughts and ideas; next thing you know, panic attacks, weird thoughts and feelings (leading to more panic attacks) or weird feelings in their bodies - one of the most common is weird grimaces or strange postures; the grimaces often happen at night when falling asleep, you know they are going on but you tell yourself - im dreaming this. this is NOT happening. or a weird posture may occur sitting watching tv, or a strange arm or leg movement that keeps recurring; thoughts of madness are common.

kundalini rising means simply an upgrade in your consciousness. and you may not have actually looked for it. it may have just happened for reading, or learning or even thinking; something opens up and with it a whole lot of weirdness does as well. you can find yourself grimacing, posturing, or simply thinking weird stuff overall like say, feeling a third eye that isnt there, or suddenly being aware of chakras or pulse points; it can lead to anxiety because it can make you horribly in tune with your body which is not always a pleasant thing. for example you may be ultra aware of your heart and pulse and blood flow; you may be aware of your own spirit, in your body, which makes you feel 'out of body'; or you may feel a strangeness in your skin, like you are there, but not really. like floating above everything; some people get a totally fake feeling, like their whole life is not real. or a feeling of being a puppet.

all these things are certain conscious levels awakening and making you feel damned uncomfortable. westerm medicine will quicky name it anxiety but often if you think on it, its an ultra awareness, and athough it CAUSES you to feel anxious, really you may just be awakening in senses you had not yet noticed before. if you are ultra aware of your body, pulse, blood or heart, this is particularly true.

it passes.

its just a phase of awareness and if you can tell yourself that you can make yourself less anxious; its much like being suddenly made of aware of breathing. before you may not have known and just done so without thinking. now something has made you aware of it. but nothing really has changed, only your awareness of it; you can relax it; you can choose to be aware of it in an un-anxious way.

Chakra mediation really helps, as does simply acknowledging what your now aware of, but that you choose now, to not allow it to come into the fore of your life - think of it like blinking. you would hate to be aware of that every time. so you need to tell yourself that thanks, im glad I noticed that, but i actually do not want to be aware of it all the time. and let it go. with meditation and grateful thanks for the new awareness.

The Kundalini merely activates your awareness of who you are and your spiritual potential. Taking ownership of yourself and responsibility for your own actions usually puts you in the driver's seat with regard to this raw energy.Then you are in control of it and not vice versa. :)
