Kundalini Rising

**September 1, 2020, The Rising**

Remembering my initial Kundalini energy rising makes me giggle at the transformational energy about which I knew so little and the books that described the journey to a "godlike consciousness."

At that time, I was unaware that quieting my mind twice daily for months was relaxing my nervous system, pulling me away from the frantic fight-or-flight vibration, and allowing something more significant to emerge. Now, devoted to this beautiful and powerful energy that ignites psychic sight and expands consciousness, I often connect with and feel its love throughout the day.

Since my children may read this or we may meet in person, I will leave out the orgasmic experiences—trust me, those alone are worth climbing a Himalayan mountain to meditate in a cave. Wow!

I understand this incredible experience now, utilizing the language I didn’t have then and connecting it to my "Dark Night of the Soul" post. This journey isn’t all about ecstatic bliss. If it were, we would accomplish nothing, as there would be no need to dream, desire, or experience contrasts.

I am grateful to my mother-in-law for gifting me the book *Kundalini Rising* by Sounds True. This book explores the Energy of Awakening and features a compilation of 24 essays by prominent voices that demystify this mysterious phenomenon. It balances the perspectives of yogis, scientists, philosophers, and historians to support spiritual development. I highly recommend researching Kundalini to grasp it logically before engaging in practices aimed at igniting it. Or you may have experiences like this where I believed my eyesight would soon be unnecessary as I rose to a godlike vibration -LOL!.

I felt relieved and excited, thinking I would no longer need my eyes. I believed this during the global pandemic when I couldn’t get in to see a doctor. I lost one of my contact lenses in my eyelid, which was irritating and intensifying daily. “I won’t need my eyes anyway,” I told myself. Seriously, the delirium was absolute.

In my diary, I wrote a naive quote: "As I write, there is throbbing pain in the muscles on the sides of my neck. I've been experiencing this pain for the past few days and realize it's my last frontier to enlightenment. The psychic phenomena will be uncontrollable once the energy block is dissolved, and the Kundalini energy can access my third eye." Baha!

During this ecstatic energy expansion, I found a great teacher named Adya Ashanti. I watched his videos at night, as I felt no need for sleep. I understood that this energetic state typically lasted for two weeks to a month. Looking at my calendar, I realized it would end on the 19th—my daughter's 19th birthday.

There are many stories about the visions I experienced, like energetic sensations where my head tilted back like the top of a Pez candy dispenser, energy being downloaded into my throat, and eventually birthing this energy on all fours, unable to contain it in my body.

Its entertaining to relive these times but I’m happier to settle into a more relaxed state that is directed to helping others in grief through my psychic evidential mediumship practice and intuitive coaching sessions.

May you enjoy the joy and bliss that is your birthright.
