5 Ways to Spot Active Kundalini

Kundalini has become a buzz term in the last two years especially. But how do you know if it's active? And what is it exactly?

Let's go beyond the metaphor of Kundalini as a "snake coiled up at the base of your spine".

Kundalini (also called Transformational Energy) is a primal purifying energy that can trigger the process of Spiritual Awakening. If you're already spiritually aware, active Kundalini helps clears the path to deeper levels of awareness via latent DNA activation.

Since my Awakening and my theoretical experience with DNA activation, I've come to believe that DNA holds the entire pristine holographic template for human consciousness. In my view, the more DNA is switched on, the more conscious you are, and the more light consciousness you hold.

If you are undergoing a Kundalini Awakening, you may feel as if you are waking up to an additional layer of spiritual consciousness or an additional spiritual plane to reality. You may feel like you’re living in a surreal movie where there’s a part of you observing your Awakening.

Here are some identifying traits.

1. Us and Them

You may feel that the world and people are suddenly divided into people like you (us), who are awake, and those who have not yet been able to perceive the spiritual plane (them).

It may suddenly start to feel weird relating to people in your social circles and your family. I had one client tell me he felt like he was ‘in the spiritual closet’ and felt he had to hide his newfound spiritual awareness from non-awakeners who wouldn't understand him.

2. Energy sensations in the body.

You may feel tingles, pressure, heat, or shivers in your lower back, like there's a stream of energy that wants to advance.

You could feel zapping or pain in the head, heart palpitations, rushes of love and bliss, buzzing, and restlessness in your body (especially in the legs) like you’ve got a build up of static electricity.

Neck and shoulder pain can also indicate blocked Kundalini energy trying to move between the heart and throat chakras.

It's a good idea to stay active and keep the body moving if you're feeling a build up of energy. You may also want to slowly work on opening or clearing your chakras to help the Kundalini move up gently and unobstructed with breathwork.

You can ground excess energy into the earth by walking barefoot in the grass. Visit a park and lean against a tree or stand next to rushing water. If you ask the nature spirits and the earth to take your excess energy and recycle it, they will gladly oblige.

Brisk walks, gentle yoga, swimming and dancing can helps move energy to keep it pooling up or getting stagnant. Acupuncture can also offer great relief.

When exercising, be careful not to overdo it. Don’t focus on getting an adrenaline rush. Kundalini already causes a cortisol response, which is stressful on the body over long periods. Do enough to feel you’ve given your energy an outlet and you feel relieved.

3. Feeling mental pressure, overwhelm & racing thoughts

A sense of un-ease mentally like you’re overwhelmed may creep up on you. More than usual levels of anxiousness or social anxiety where you didn’t have it before.

This is indicative of re-wiring and possibly too much Transformational Energy up in the head area. You may have lots of thoughts, fantasies and even visions. Old memories and associated negative scripts may come up for review and you may be analyzing a lot the stories of your past.

For this, I recommend grounding. Try the Donna Eden Energy RoutineTM and spend some time concentrating on moving excess energy from your head into the rest of your body.

Do less mental exercise and involve the body more in exercise or crafts. Try to channel your over-active mind into creative pursuits, where you act spontaneously, from feeling, and avoid sitting meditation, which tends to bring up more thoughts, even after meditation.

Focusing on embodiment is the best way to calm an over-active mind. Make sure you're getting enough healthy food, and meals that fill you up and feel nourishing. You might want to try eating some grass fed beef if you're not vegetarian.

Find ways to honour your body to redistribute the powerful Kundalini energy more evenly.

4. A lot of Feels

Old emotions, wounds or trauma may come to the surface as Transformational energy dislodges stuck energy in order to make room for more light.

Emotional memories are stored in our organs, muscles and meridians, but know that they are on their way to being released. You're haivng a lot of feels because it's all being stirred up for release.

If oyu can be present with your emotions and observe them, dialogue with them, speak to them as if they are real. All thoughts and emotions have form, we just can't see them.

Getting in touch with these emotions and validating them, allowing them to be will help them transmute to light much quicker.

All you really need to do is observe and examine them, and ask yourself how much you need to be identifying or holding on to their 'charge'.

If you are ready to let go of old pain, and feel you can even value your pain for what it has taught you about yourself (resilience, discernment, self-validlation) they will release their grip on you and become integrated.

Sometimes old emotions accompany strange physical manifestations like minor heart flutters, nausea, and even menstrual-like cramps that subside quickly.

You may have strange dreams or nightmares, especially if you tend to repress things you don’t want to feel or think about. Allow whatever comes up to surface, without judgement and without holding on.

Don’t analyze these things too heavily, for that’s also a way of holding onto them, too.

Using smokey quartz and amethyst crystals can be useful for letting go of difficult emotions and restoring feelings of peace.

5. Visceral fear mixed with feelings of transcendent bliss.

Heightened fear is the body’s response to shock. Kundalini can produce a prolonged state of nervous hyper-vigilance where cortisol and other hormones are pumped out of the adrenals.

This can alternate between feelings of ineffable love and connectedness with nature, people and the planet during Awakening.

Sudden exposure to new dimensions and states of awareness can also feel very shocking or fearful, especially when we don't have a previous psychological narrative for understanding what we are seeing or experiencing.

Since Kundalini brings on a marked change in consciousness and frequency, as this happens you may glimpse other dimensions, almost as if your brain is being re-wired.

When you don’t yet vibrate at the same frequency as the higher-dimensional 'doors' you are opening or states of mind you’re being exposed to, fear is what you feel in this frequency gap.

Transformational Energy itself has a very high frequency that, when fear isn’t present, feels like a wave of love washing over you. This is why you will at times experience ineffable bliss.

But, if you have not yet done a lot of shadow work to transmute lower frequency emotions, you will also experience the fear and anxiety of these old emotions as they are struck by the powerful Kundalini.

This is par for the course for anyone experiencing Kundalini for the first time.

As years go by and you do the inner work to transmute lower frequencies, you'll experience less and less fear when Transformational Energy hits.

You can take care by replenishing electrolytes, especially magnesium, which depletes easily, to counterbalance the effects of being in fight or flight for prolonged periods of time.

Avoid stimulants such as excess sugar and coffee, as well as psychoactive drugs. Ashwagandha, taken over time, has been known traditionally to help tone the adrenals that take such a beating during acute Kundalini activity.
