First off, I want to say that I enjoy your postings very much. The breadth of your knowledge and degree of accuracy with respect to kundalini is astounding. Lately I have been reading your Kundalini Unraveled, and I’m finding it very helpful. You approach the subject matter in a very reasonable, easy-to-understand manner. I have a few questions for you, although I’m not even sure what I want to ask. I suppose I should start by saying that about a year ago, I believe I experienced "kundalini rising" for the first time. When it first happened, I went through a pretty huge upheaval. In the weeks following the initial rising, I wished I could have undone it all. I wished I could have stuffed the serpent back in her box and leave her there for the next lifetime (if there was such a thing at all). My nervous system was extremely disturbed. I couldn’t sleep; my emotions were turbulent; I had no mental focus. At the root, I was in a constant state of fear. But eventually I knew I had to adapt. I had to accept that this energy was now alive in my system, and there was nothing I could do about it. So I surrendered, gradually, over a period of months. And here I am now. Now I feel pretty good. In fact, I feel great. I feel harmonized and integrated. However, I feel like I have only integrated the magnitude of kundalini currently active in my system. I sense that her potential magnitude is far greater than what I am currently experiencing. Sometimes, while in a state of meditative absorption with the sensations of my body (and consequently the sensations of kundalini), the energy at the base of my spine and throughout my body sharply increases in intensity. So I break the absorption out of fear of triggering a state I am not ready to equilibrate into. But as soon as I slip back into a state of absorption, the intensity increases again, and begins to penetrate my higher granthis, which frightens me. So I find myself hardening my physical armor, until the process is over. I fear this hardening is counter-productive and potentially damaging to my body. Anyway, I’m not sure what I’m asking. Basically I’m wondering if you have any advice for a confused, guru-less Westerner such as myself. I just read page 21 and 22 of your book, about reaching the heart chakra, and somehow I believe this approximates where I am. For example, I am having the experience of Ishta Deva, in the form of Jesus Christ, which is highly surprising and amusing to me, although it makes sense, since I was raised as a Catholic. (I also agree with your opinion with respect to Maya. All hail the Intellect!) I won’t be surprised if I’m wrong, though, since I haven’t really been able to predict anything with respect to this since the beginning of my journey. Thank you again for your wonderful writing!

I quote something derived from the Iliad by Homer... "Can I tell you a secret, something they don't teach you in your temple? The Gods envy us because we are mortal; because any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we are doomed". Besides curiosity, is not the fear of being reborn the sole reason behind spiritual quests? What else besides these can be the reason that should motivate us?

Thanks a lot for the post.I am having Kundalini and am surprised at the correctness of the bioplasma whiteness. Thanks again. Articles as this helps people where there is less documentation on experiences

You always come up with great stuff I just love your site you are very talented I'll recommend your site to my friends and family members great job very appreciated..keep it up..

Awakening of kundalini by oneself without proper guidance under a guru, without taking initiation from an adept can cause a lot of problem. When the energy is released it will pass through Chakras, and if the any of the chakra is blocked it can try to force its way out through it and may not go in the upper direction as desired. This can fuse the chakra and cause damage to the related organs. If the physical body, and other related bodies are not purified , The flooding of consciousness can take place, but when the energy recedes it would leave behind a vast trail of devastation. What I am writing is not my knowledge or experience but was told to me by my Guru. He was explaining the need of purifying the physical, vital, mental sheaths. Another myth about Kundalini is that it will rise in full force. But most of us can tolerate only a small part of the energy to rise .Do not think we have many persons who can bear the full blossoming of the energy. And another thing that many do not know that Kundalini is awake in all of us in a very small measure thats why we are alive!

im loving your posts.. so wonderful..bless you with lights and happiness

It was kind of you to give credit where none is deserved for I did NO "in depth" study. I know no scriptures and have never prayed except when in peril. I am not much good at Scientific things either, just the basics that modern schooling teaches everybody. You are a far more evolved person then me and I found what you wrote to be very comprehensive, logical and thought provoking. That's what encouraged me to pose these questions in the (selfish) hope of clearing up my own mind. You know how modern humans look forward to "quick fix" answers without working hard to achieve them. Questioning comes easily to anyone and everyone who has had a little bit of education. Finding answers is the harder part which just a few like you aim for. Attaining bliss is not really on my agenda, becoming a better person possibly is (though the mind is easily tempted to sinnning and I think I've done more of it then I am entitled to). Yet, that's the humble endeavour which prompts these random outbursts. On the plus side - such discussions do serve the limited purpose of helping us improve a bit and devote some time to matters other then those pertaining to daily survival. Regardless of the outcome, I think it does help us become a more aware and a better thinking individual. A humble step closer to the ultimate realisation some of us aspire for. I continue to look forward to your wise words much like a student who has a questioning but open mind.

Thankyou for taking up the cause and for your effort in trying to explain the mundane questions which often bog down common people like me.Though I read your words quite regularly, I regret being unable to give you a feedback in as quick a timeframe. Its partly because of the daily grind and partly owing to the fact that it takes time to digest the contents in a manner that does justice to the tremendous effort you put in.
