Kundalini Meditation Experience

In my meditation courses, this is the only type of meditation I didn’t cover.

I have spoken with many students who had either strange, or overpowering reactions with kundalini meditation. For some, it is this very esoteric nature meditation that also gives it mystical appeal. I don’t pretend to have monk-like visionary powers but when I have personally experienced powerful shifts in my personal paradigm, it would be unfair of me, not to share.

When it came to Kundalini Meditation, my expertise was lacking …or so I thought.

Kundalini Yoga is also known as the serpentine energy that is coiled up within us. Apparently, when awakened, the energy shoots through the body like lightnening, leaving the body in a powerful state of convulsion. Not only did I never experienced this, I didn’t want to. I deliberately avoided any yoga or meditation classes that promised this outcome.

I wanted to manipulate my own energy in a way that was manageable, sensible, and comfortable and so, one morning I set out to practice my planned healing meditation. After a short silent period, I felt a distinct ball of heat in my solar plexus area. My knowledge of the popular Wim Hof (ice immersion) method, allowed me to quickly identify this as sensation and sure enough I was able to move the heat around my body and magnify it at will.

I left the mat, knowing I would be a very different person. A number of unlikely synchronicities followed. I met a steady stream of people who reassured me of my personal goals, offering me endless and unsolicited support and guidance. In my own way, I had unleashed my kundalini energy.

According to Swami Tadanantan, author of Swami and the Serpent, most practitioners expect the involuntary shaking reaction to take place. When they encounter unusual bodily sensations, they ‘allow’ their bodies to react this way, but only because they have anticipated it.

I agree with him. With over 200 billion people officially meditating now, why have there not been more stories shared from complete beginners, who have never heard of such a phenomenon?

To conclude, it is energy that we all possess, and that we knowingly or unknowingly allow it to awaken inside of us to keep us driven towards our earthly missions. I don’t believe an extreme physical ‘show’ of this power is necessary to maximise your potential, but the awareness and movement of this energy can absolutely lead to life changing results.
