I'm a beginner in energy work.
Just discovered this month that i can control my inner energy.
Some days i can feel the energy very strongly ( i feel vibrations in my body) but other days i barely can sense it or control it.
Is it normal for the energy to fade away some days?
Is it a beginner problem?
When I sat for meditation I felt continuous pulse between my eyebrows. This has happened before. I don't have any visions or any experiences. Can someone guide what does this pulse means?
Also I had my aura scanning through an expert. He told me my third eye is already open. But I don't have any experiences, just the pulse sometimes.
It has been a while since I’ve posted here. This group and several of its guides have given me tremendous help over the past three or four years. I’ve sometimes hesitated to post because I see the same people responding thoughtfully and at length, and I don’t want to take that generosity for granted.
A little over a year ago, I was performing intense ritual work (which I have taken a pause from a few months ago). During the ritual, what I experienced as kundalini rose very dramatically through my central channel. It traveled up my spine, became constricted around my heart and throat, and eventually, through letting go, reached my crown.
The constriction produced severe pain through my shoulders, inside the rotator-cuff area and down my arms. It lasted several minutes before the energy sensation faded and ordinary life resumed. A less dramatic version happened during ritual the following day, but it has not happened again.
Since my original awakening, I have also experienced episodes of severe dry heaving that feel connected to energy moving through restrictions in my system. One teacher/guide here (Marc) advised me to let go of whatever I was holding and allow myself to vomit if necessary. I have kept that advice in mind.
For a couple of years, the dry heaving seemed centered in my solar plexus. The past six months or so, I’ve been taking private lessons with my Tai Chi mentor and working on that area of my spine, its supporting structure and other internal restrictions.
A few months ago, I went on an ocean fishing trip with my father. It was our first experience together that truly felt like father-son bonding. I became extremely seasick and vomited several times, with the experience seeming to originate directly from my solar plexus. I understand that seasickness and vomiting are completely ordinary, but something about that event also seemed to release or unlock the restriction. Since then, I have stopped dry heaving from my solar-plexus area.
Where I seem to be working now is my heart and throat. The energy dry-heaving happens less frequently (perhaps every couple of weeks) but sometimes the energy in my system becomes extremely intense and eventually produces dry heaving from that area. I have a sense that it may be connected to my mother and possibly to stored grief. I’m scheduled to begin working with someone on that next month.
In response to my previous post here, I was encouraged me to release questionable ideas and beliefs. I have taken that seriously. My life has become much more ordinary. I honestly feel less “special,” more human and more focused on what genuinely matters: healing, being present for my family and building my business.
My main question now concerns the relationship between kundalini and qi.
I have practiced internal-arts Tai Chi and qigong for several years to continue developing, ground myself in my body and open deeper areas so energy can move more freely. This has helped tremendously.
A great deal of what I communicate about my internal state seems to translate to my Tai Chi mentor. At other times, however, I’m uncertain whether he understands the particular kind of energy experience I’ve gone through. He clearly has an advanced degree of control over his qi. I can observe it through his movements and feel the effect of how he structures his body. He can also intentionally produce visible goosebumps and make his body hair rise.
For some time, I assumed kundalini and qi were the same underlying energy expressed through different cultural systems. Lately, I have been questioning that more seriously.
Are kundalini and qi fundamentally different forces or processes? Do the Indian and Chinese systems cross over at a deeper level, or do they merely produce some similar sensations? Can someone possess highly developed control of qi without necessarily understanding kundalini and can Tai Chi still help integrate kundalini even when the teacher does not work within that framework?
My process remains painful at times, but it is becoming progressively easier, more grounded and more integrated. I would be grateful for any insight from people familiar with both systems.
Idk why but whenever I listen to these karma cleansing or trauma related subliminals, my body behaves strangely. I get an irritating, uncomfortable feeling all over my body, almost like an allergy. Why does this happen?
I don't even listen to that many subliminals and whichever ones I do listen to i only play them a maximum of 3 times
the trauma purging is too intense. i have chronic pain that i think is because of this process. i don’t want to look at these memories. i don’t feel like doing anything cuz i don’t feel like the need to be anything anymore because i don’t feel like i lack something and need to prove myself. i know i have faith in the process and that this phase ends and there is an integration after this but im so fucking tired.
So my kundalini rise began about 16 months ago. I’m still in the purging and clearing phase, I think.
These episodes start out as a weak feeling mostly in my lower back and legs. Then a feeling of shakiness and whole-body fatigue comes on, and an all-over malaise. It feels almost exactly like low blood sugar but without any hunger, and they are completely self-limiting, leaving on their own after about 15 to 20 minutes. (I am getting lots of bloodwork done ordered from the doctor).
I liken the way these episodes feel to just a rapid loss of energy, like it’s guzzling out of me, “a hole in the gas tank.”
What brings me here they happen with a sacral surge. They were multiple times daily in the beginning when I was getting a ton of sacral activity. Now that the sacral activity has called down , when they do arrive, though much less frequently, there is always a really strong sacral activation, much stronger than I usually get these days.
And then comes the feeling of something wanting me to let go and release something.
it sounds like this may be the energy hitting blockages maybe? Has anyone else experienced this feeling of energy just guzzling out of you?
so all of this started like 4 years ago also I was a teenager I was new to all of this. I'm going to be totally honest here. I don't know what exactly triggered this I developed a habit of m*st*rbating and was also going trough depression and I started having this strong realization/consciousness that there is no me. exactly that. I started having these moments of awareness that I doesn't exist. that there is no self. it was super clear to me that there in no self.I keep having those moments. I was curious to what was happening to me then I also discovered meditation and breathing techniques. And I'm pretty sure I messed up there. I was trying to do normal anapanasati bhavana but now I realized without any guidance I was playing a risky game. I was doing it wrong.
I wasn't just observing my breath I was also trying to control it, I got into this practice where I go into the end of the breath and even seeing exhaling and inhaling consiously. I'm not sure how to explain it but I started getting these weird sensations in meditation like my whole body starts to shake and a white light starts to appear between my eyes and tingling senstaion in forehead and on top of the head almost like I was trying to levitate. I goes into this state where everything is clear also being aware that the concept of self doesn't exist. this was all so new I obviously tried to explore more of this but the thing being I also started getting weird things happening in my body. I developed this feeling that there's not enough breath in my lungs doesn't matter how much I tried to breath in it doesn't feel like enough and my breathing pattern was so messed up it almost felt like my body had forgotten how to breath. but that's wasn't only it I could feel my heartbeat in my fingers. whenever I touch my fingers I can feel my heart beating. and I started getting random twitched all over my body. I was super afraid by this I quit my meditation practices immediately and started treatment for depression.
it has been some times now I don't use medication anymore and my depression has also gotten lot better. the trouble I had with breathing is also mostly gone. but I still have those random twiches in my body. then I decided to get back into meditation, to take it easy and doing simple meditation practices and immediately after I starts feeling those weird sensations again. this time it wasn't mostly trouble with breathing. but I can feel my heartbeat trough my body and there's always this sensation of heaviness on top of my head and my forehead. I did a simple breathing meditation yesterday and since that I feel this heavy energy all over my body and the twiches in my body has also gotten worse. it's super uncomfortable. also the heaviness in head like having brain fog. I don't know who to ask of this. I don't have a teacher or guider but I need to get out of this. I have no idea what I'm experiencing or how to handle it.
I tried to find teachers / guides. Because after I went through scary anxiety and vertigo after a kundalini awakening. One of the persons I wanted to be my guru wanted to charge around 333$ for a single 1 to 1 session. I can't afford that. But seems to be knowing more and felt like a compassionate person at first. Another lady told me my kundalini awakening wasn't kundalini awakening but a pranic flow. I do need a guide . I don't want to make the mistake gopikrishna did. He said his kundalini went into the pingala channel. I didn't read his entire book. But read snippets which felt scary. I know God himself is enough sometimes. But I tend to overdo things like overdoing prayer, journaling etc for a quick fix to life's problems. I am like that. So I need a guide. Probably use this space. But low on karma now I think. I also had so much fear on spontaneous kriyas occurring. The fear was very much. It has reduced to an extent but still there. I don't know if I will experience spontaneous kriyas but the fear is there. Someone said becoming satvik is important and kundalini awakening will be easy if satvik. I agree but I forget that, when life throws hard stuff at me. I get angry easily. Why is it hard to find a guide . Guru is another level search.
Hello everyone
For almost two years, I’ve been doing energy healing. For about the past six months, I’ve been experiencing this sensation. It feels like an energy that is moving upward into my head. At first, I only felt it at the base of my neck, but now I feel as though it wants to rise from inside my throat toward my brain.
Has anyone else experienced something like this?
I should mention that it feels like there are two strands of energy, which sometimes reach my temples and seem to want to connect.
Sometimes I can also feel it in my mouth. It feels like there are two strands or streams of energy, almost like two little vortices
Just curious… as I’ve been going through intense body stretching in the last 2 months (as part of what I believe is a k experience) I tend to be a little bored at times while my body does the work for me…
Anyway I’m mildly starting to dab into astrology, the house and yappi yappa and I’m genuinely just curious as to if correlations between astrology placements and kundalini experiences have been found? I could see how Chiron/lilith/12house placements could be a thing haha (even if i don’t have a stellium there either but whatevs u get it).
Thanks!! Have a great Saturday!
I’ve been listening to an astral projection/meditation audio on YouTube for about 2 weeks and personally I’ve had a really good experience with it, nothing scary or unusual.
I asked my wife to try the same audio. She was lying on her back around 4 PM, arms by her sides, and I was in the room with her.
After a while, she said her stomach started vibrating and became tense, then her right hand became tense, followed by her left leg.
Then she started seeing a bright white light above her, even though the room was dark. She described it almost like a hole/opening that was expanding, shrinking, and sometimes disappearing.
Near the end, she saw a black shadow against the white/grey background. The shadow seemed to come closer and closer until it felt like it was right above her face, almost near her eyes.
She opened her eyes and freaked out.
Her lips and throat were very dry, her whole body felt stiff, and she said it took around 5 minutes to feel like she had control of her body again.
Now she doesn't want to try the audio again.
and most important she had nightmare after having alcohal. Someone was coming towards her with two weapons.
Has anyone experienced something similar?
I’m curious because I’ve been doing the same thing for about two weeks with no problems, but her experience was completely different and honestly pretty disturbing.
I've been meditating regularly, and over the last 10 days I've experienced something interesting.
About 4–5 times now, I've felt my spine stretching on its own. It starts near my tailbone and gradually feels like my entire spine is lengthening upward, almost as if it's being gently pulled toward the ceiling. I don't consciously do it—it just happens automatically.
Last two time experienced something completely new.
I was lying on my back, completely relaxed, when my legs started moving on their own. First, they slowly spread apart. Then the soles of my feet came together, forming what looked like a butterfly (bound angle) pose. After that, while my feet stayed together, they gradually moved closer and closer toward my groin, all without me intentionally controlling the movement.
It genuinely felt like my body was operating on autopilot. I wasn't trying to make it happen or visualizing anything specific.
And then all muscle tesntion release and my legs stayed in that posture.
What to expect next? I kept in same positon and it started again muscles getting tensed and spine started to stiff. Also feel like arms length is incresing as my hands started to move towrds my feet direction. Shoulder started to moving towards uper body and feel my body is expending.
I was in this for an hour.
Has anyone else experienced spontaneous movements like this during meditation? Is there a name for these kinds of involuntary body adjustments? I'd be interested to hear both scientific explanations and experiences from people who practice meditation, yoga, or related traditions.
