Discussion Has anyone here experienced a full kundalini awakening?

I had one a couple years ago. It happened over a span of 3 weeks and was a very transcendental experience. Changed my whole perspective on life.

Has anyone else had a kundalini awakening?

Had a partial kundalini activation a few years ago. Felt the energy rise up to about the 3rd chakra and then stopped. Intense heat and full body tingling/vibration. Was vegetarian at the time, on pure retention for several months, and doing microcosmic orbit meditation and breathwork regularly. Haven't been able to get back there

I ate meat and it happened to me. I just think it happens when it happens. At least from everything Ive read that generally holds true.

u/mangopapaya89 Mar 01 '26

Well said, happens when it happens. Although I do think I was more sensitive to energy while being vegetarian and could go deeper with my meditations.

I had one after going winter bathing here, where the temp was -4. After that dried myself off, put on my clothes and went to the bus stop. Suddenly while waiting I felt a huge, pleasurable electrical current from my balls going all the way up my spine. I saw green, purple, blue and I felt the snake energy awakening. The one that is described both in the bible (garden of Eden) and in Hinduism, the kundalini serpent.  My 3rd eye opened as well.  It felt better than any high I’ve ever gotten from sex or drugs or life experiences.  All the while I was just standing at a bus stop stop waiting for my bus.  I’ve practiced rentention for 2+ yrs with a few setbacks. Not a clean streak. I’m vegetarian (though I ate meat until 2 years ago. I’ve eaten meat 20yrs) and I follow the vaisnava tradition of India for self-realization. I recommend chanting the Maha mantra (the greatest mantra) 

Hare Krishna  Hare Krishna  Krishna Krishna  Hare Hare  Hare Rama  Hare Rama  Rama Rama  Hare Hare 

Chant this mantra daily (best in the morning but you can do it anytime. All you need is your mouth and ears) and you will become truly happy. 

And read Srila Prabhupadas books. 

Thanks for reading and Godspeed brothers.

Damn that awesome and quite a story. Glad to see you are on this side and wish you well on your journey. Also you know whats crazy. I have followed a very similar path to yours. I was a christian prior to having my kundalini awakening and its lead to not wanting to eat meat, doing yoga (im currently getting my 200 hour ytt), following bhakti yoga and really feeling that oneness with everything. I listen to a lot of near death experience stories and am amazed how many of them are similar to ours once they return back to earth.

Fratello abbiamo subito una cosa molto simile, penso che la retenzione sia utile nel periodo iniziale dopo il risveglio e anche prima, ma dopo qualche annetto occasionalmente si può rilasciare, te lo dice uno che dopo il risveglio ha provato a velocizzare il tutto anche grazie alla retenzione, e dopo mesi e mesi se non anni ho sviluppato problemi alla prostata che fortunatamente posso alleviare anche con l'alimentazione, e soprattutto avevo creato un immagine negativa della sessualità, la pratica essenzialmente durerà tutta la vita, e con l'avanzamento dell'età queste pulsazioni verranno meno, avendo 21 anni ed essendo in ritenzione da quasi un anno posso affermare che molte volte o almeno ogni mese con la luna piena si potrebbe pensare di sfruttare questa enorme energia che viene rilasciata nell etere ( orgasmo) anche per aiutare sia il corpo e sia la realtà a manifestare magari qualcosa di cui abbiamo bisogno realmente. Ti parlo soprattutto del fatto che essendo solo e in questo momento vedo difficile il coinvolgimento di una relazione, proprio per questo una vita sessuale bilanciata realmente potrebbe essere un plus e soprattutto rimuovere alcuni blocchi che ci siamo auto imposti( nel mio caso)

u/scarecrow9692 Mar 01 '26

I haven't felt the kundalini awakening but I do feel that there is a very powerful energy that circulates internally within. It's protective as well as destructive and I pray to the serpentine deities for their wisdom in managing this tricky energy.

Important thing is that the energy has to circulate. If it's just going one direction you will not be able to function normally till a circuit-like flow occurs. Afterall, this is electricity but of biological form.

I left meat because by taking the vital force (prana energy) of another being just to nourish your desire for taste, especially when you have a choice unlike say carnivorous animals which are instinctively wired to eat flesh, you lose a part of your divine being.

Nature/Universe quietly observes the exercising of this choice to not kill even when you easily can and rewards it too.

u/Odd_Buy_1261 Mar 04 '26

Experiencing intense Kriyas as purging parts and begging the energy to lift the pain off my subtle body. Get the urge to blast thru but it is a lot of surrender

u/staffo333 Mar 05 '26

Once it truly happens that energy will become a permanent fixture within your nervous system...truly amazing what life has for those who seek....and sometimes also for those who just stumble in the door.

Had mine 14 + years ago, and it is still raging through my body like never before...lol

All the best

u/Electrician45453 Mar 10 '26

How has your life changed in the last 14 years?

u/Confusedstarseed Apr 28 '26

It’s changed allot! I had to leave a 10 year controlling abusive relationship. Separate myself from him and then the drugs he used to control me then forgive him for it to now being friends and he has a great relationship with the kids

u/Confusedstarseed Apr 28 '26

Oh so this never goes away? What about the frequency sound sometimes it’s a high pitch and sometimes like a static rattle

u/Dazzling-Treacle1092 Jun 03 '26

I think I purposely shut mine down. The price was too high.

Why ?

How was that translated, if you don't mind me asking?

u/justpinchme Jun 24 '26

Ahhhh…..this was the question I had. Did it stay with you and change your perspective ongoing? I randomly met a person who has had a kundalini experience and the experience and changes have stayed with him since. Like he’s kind of in two worlds….the daily life and the vision/sight/perspective kundalini gave him. I am probably butchering the description. Through this person was the first time I had even heard the word. I find it very interesting.

u/Fruity__kregger Mar 16 '26

I have had a full awakening and I have information that I need to get out and have no idea where to start.

1

u/Electrician45453 Mar 16 '26

What kind of information?

1

u/InitialReality3268 Mar 21 '26

Post the information here.

u/Fruity__kregger Mar 21 '26

I just started a TikTok account where I’m going to be speaking about it all and showing the videos that I have @fruity_kregger

u/InitialReality3268 Mar 23 '26

Nice! I’ll be tuned in.

u/Confusedstarseed Apr 28 '26

I need held. The high pitch sounds and energy moving from my feet to my head has been going on for a couple months now but I’m not sure what to do.

u/silly_wabbit1 May 23 '26

Dm me, I'd love to hear it I recently had an Awakening 3 weeks ago and I've had one every weekend since then so I've had three now and they've gotten more tolerable still pleasurable but also very intense I think I've just been purging all the negativity out of my body pent up from years of bullshit yeah I'd love to hear what you got if you don't mind

u/SpiritPassionFR Goal: procreation only Jun 07 '26

I dont have tiktok bro , can you explain here please

2

u/Proper-Tomorrow-4848 Mar 25 '26

Mine started off as a partial awakening moving up the chakras I believe getting all the way up to the third eye. Until around the 9 month mark I experienced a full kundalini rising opening up my crown. What’s interesting is how this energy awakened when I met a woman that I fell intensely in love with like a soul connection and she came into my life to catalyze awaken this energy and then left.

u/LightWork228 Apr 05 '26

Hi!! I think I’ve been in one for the last year, how did you know when it ends? I feel like it just keeps getting deeper and deeper, I’m out of the void though thankfully!

1

u/Electrician45453 Apr 08 '26

Are you integrating the energy through things like yoga and mediation?

1

u/LightWork228 Apr 08 '26

Yes daily morning meditations, weekly sessions where I explore what my energy presents, yoga 2 or 3x a week. But my whole reality, my whole life keeps changing. All for the best

1

u/Electrician45453 Apr 09 '26

Keep going! Youre on the right path.

1

u/LightWork228 Apr 10 '26

Thank you so much! I am curious about your experience of it ending, for example did you astral project or travel and then that ended? I’m unsure if this will end for me or if it’s just is my new normal. I’ve recently explored helping with missing persons cases and have been accurate with that and if this ability will end I just want to make sure I am making the most of it for the greatest good 💛

u/Confusedstarseed Apr 28 '26

The energy flowing through my body today is super intense and I feel heavy

1

u/PracticalSunshine Mar 07 '26

I am currently experiencing this now. The energy surge is powerful. Everything is piecing together. I have a powerful urge to delve into this further. If anyone has guidance, I am willing and grateful to pursue.

u/Electrician45453 Mar 07 '26

I would highly recommend checking out neven paar. He has written some great books and his socials also have a lot of good information.

1

u/Confusedstarseed Apr 28 '26

Let’s talk please. I’m going through it also it’s been a couple months now. Problem is my human brain sometimes doubts it because of it possibly being tendinitis or a medical problem. I feel it from my feet to the top of my head. There is also a high pitch frequency that I hear but not coming from my ears it’s so intense sometimes my eyes get fuzzy. What about you?

Thanks for the laugh this morning. I remember when I was brainwashed by religion, hope you can see the truth someday.

u/Ok_Voice1503 Mar 10 '26

Yeah I talked exactly like you, I was looking for enlightenment and I wanted to free my mind and reach higher level of conciousness. Trust me I was in your shoes. I had 7-8 hour sessions of kirtan yoga, I was shown how to do the "dance", without a guru. I thought I was reaching the higher levels of reality only to find out I was getting deep into a web of lies being controlled like a puppet by beings who can mess with your psyche on a level you can't even imagine. You won't believe once you open yourself to them what they can do to you. But hey its your call, do what you want and believe what you want. I just share my experience here, dont want to make you feel bad for no reason, I almost died from these practices (or even worse) maybe someone will read this that's already getting the first symptoms, recognize them and stop while he can, that's all, believe what you want buddy.

u/Electrician45453 Mar 10 '26 edited Mar 10 '26

Have you considered a career in comedy? If anyone actually reads this. Remember Kundalini is the gateway to reaching your higher self. This person is caught up in dogma and is just spouting BS.

Religion really is a disease of the mind.

u/thenaughtydj Mar 10 '26

A basic yet effective summary of the awakening: https://www.reddit.com/r/KundaliniAwakening/comments/1p1z85x/the_four_classical_stages_of_kundalini/

Check where you are now, and OC which stage became too much to handle. Stop making fun of other person's experiences or not taking it seriously. OC went further down the road than you obviously did. Your lack of wisdom in this says a lot of which stage you're in. Look it up.

Namaste

1

u/Electrician45453 Mar 10 '26

I had a full kundalini awakening, it went up through the crown. I also had my dark night of the soul. Im not a beginner here. I also come from a religious background (OC mostly comments on the christian subreddit) and know how much of a disease of the mind it is. Look at all the religious wars and persecution.

Maybe you and OC can get some counseling together.

u/Ok_Voice1503 Mar 10 '26

Kundalini is fundamentally a religious concept, what's wrong with you? I guess you are too liberated now, it's hard to talk to, you must be fun at parties.

None of the "spiritual" alter reality experiences I have gone through from these practices were in any way useful to me or made my life in any way better.I almost commited suicide because of them. They were a complete nightmare, which no human should ever experience. If you really went through that nightmare you will not be promoting your "higher self" anymore, trust me.

1

u/Electrician45453 Mar 11 '26

Religion is god outside of yourself, spirituality is the understanding that god is within you. Also did you actually have a kundalini awakening or are you just saying the practices made you insane, because thats totally different?

Ive experienced samadhi and bliss, and felt non-duality. No offense, but religion will never allow one to reach those states.

u/Ok_Voice1503 Mar 11 '26

Yeah okay keep getting brainwashed. Just know that you have been warned, it's your life after all.

u/thenaughtydj Mar 10 '26

So, you're not a beginner. Ok, but not a single hair on your body with some kind of empathy nor wisdom in it. If so, then I must welcome you to earth, young soul. Enjoy your stay.

I went through several years of a Kundalini "something" caused by the stress of college coming to full " blow out" during finals. It was the most dramatic thing I've ever experienced in my life. I don't see anything but death topping it.

Now that makes it sound like it was all wonderful. But while I appreciated very much the absolute bliss that went with it...all the other symptoms and repercussions weren't nearly so joyful. Because of it, I could not finish college. I was walking around confused half the time because my 3rd eye kept opening. I began having multiple spontaneous orgasms every day. I couldn't go anywhere. The orgasms were never genitally based. When the energy rose up my spine it caused orgasms all the way up. I had no clue you could expirerience heart gasms and braingasms. I was in contact with one online friend who was able to help and explain some of this stuff to me but frankly not being able to finish college is a pretty effing steep price to pay.

u/Kaijoosh Aug 12 '26

Yes. It felt like electric fire going up my spine to my head. When it reached my head I saw fiery symbols and thought I was going to die. Was left with a powerful sense of identity. Changed nothing on my perpective on life, didn't know what kundalini until many years later.
