Baizuo,
Wishing you peace in surrender
No, she basically wrote that i should surrender to the idea that my life is **ed. I’m not interested and do not accept such bullsht, in the last 13 years i knew directly or indirectly many persons in this environment and a lot of them were buffoons, absolutely selfish and hypocritical persons who fill their mouth with words of universal love and ethical stuff like that but they are in fact the fisrt who think stricly about theirselves and their interest. Almost always the same persons that say sht like “surrender to your destiny you’ll be luckier in your next life” they ahve a nice life, they have a good job, they had a great youth and have a good family and social life. These persons are simply some of the worst parts of humanity.
To respond directly to what you wrote, please notice that i’ve already been long periods without practicing any spiritual practice (and i think i wrote it clearly more than once) neither reading about that stuff (i also wrote ,i think, i find reading very difficult and i’ve read only 3 books about spiritual practices in 10 years), and i’ve been even years without reading about that on internet. So basically i already did what you suggested except for the grounding activity. Also about the sexual activity: my sexual activity has been basically absent for years and i ve even been masturbating very rarely (for a few years my usual schedule was once a week or once every 2 weeks). Instead i recently noticed that if i don’t masturbate at least every 3 days my sleep issues worsen, so even if my libido is almost absent i must eiaculate anyway to improve my sleep (i say that, just to anticipate any possible objection about the reason eiaculating improve my sleep, it’s not beacuse i’m aroused that i cannot sleep because i often must force myself to masturbation). That doesn t mean that if i eiaculate i sleep well, but at least i somehow sleep.
Also, about my diet, i have been for long time a vegetarian but since 2014 i follow a high protein diet based on fish, eggs, legumes and vegetables. I almost totally avoid starchy foods and sugar/honey, i drink beer just once in a week or less.
Also i say that i’m not interested in next life, i’m interested in this one.
Also, you wrote you lived 30 years with kundalini but you haven t specified what kind o issues you used to have.
Hi Baizuo,
It is the grounding practices that are the most important thing. In your situation I would be spending two or three hours a day just on grounding activities. And I have done in the past. It works, but you need patience.
Going for long walks, especially before bedtime, can help you to fall asleep at night. It is a better way to fall asleep than resorting to sexual activity, as sexual activity causes large amounts of prana to move through the body, potentially making any kundalini symptoms worse and making the whole process last longer. This might not be felt immediately, as there is usually a feeling of temporary relief caused by orgasm, but things can be worse over the following days, weeks and months.
Regular insomnia, feeling ungrounded/ spaced out, irritability, anxiety, pain in the body, shaking, feeling the pain of others and suffering because of it, and various other symptoms. They were all temporary in the end, although some lasted for years. My kundalini was awakened after practising breathing meditation in a monastery in Thailand for a week, at the age of 21.

Hi Baizuo,
Sorry to hear that your journey is so challenging. While you may receive a lot of advice, only you can decide what to do. You are the master of your life puzzle, and only you can solve it.
At the same time, changing our ways is difficult – and we all have experience with this. Socrates wrote that “The secret to change is focusing all our energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” This is what Sey, Dogboy, and Christi are pointing to in their messages.
As unlikely it may seem, the root of suffering is the misunderstanding that we are separate entities. What the society teaches us that we are, individuals caught in an existential struggle, does not really exist. Imagine if for a moment you could see that all your problems are not real. What a relief that would be! What if your best friend was experiencing your kind of problems? What advice would you give him?
What is here is much more – and much better than anyone can imagine. What you talk about you doing this and that, it is not the real you, the True Self talking, but it is the ego that talks and blinds you. That is the part that you can let go – that is what Sey suggests.
While spiritual transformation is a potential for all of us, it is not the result of something anyone does. The spiritual transformation is not rooted in the individual, but in the Absolute. As long as we hold tight on an individual separate identity, with its attachments and desires, we are blinded by the ego and cannot see the Absolute that stares us in the face.
You wrote in the questionnaire that you are not interested in spirituality. If you were, there would have been something else to try.
Any path you take, you will still get home – but you decide what kind of journey to have.
The guru really is in you.

2 or 3 hours of walking every day sounds impracticable, i wouldn't even know where to go! Neither i could do cleaning in the house every day for 2 hours or more, i don't live in a castle... Also i need to do other things during the days, wich i already struggle to do because i'm extremely slow in everything i do. I'm not free from survival needs, i'm not rich. The problem is that my sleep issues make to me almost impossible to manage the time of a day, because i'm inactive for part of the day and during the part i'm more active the time is never enough to do the things i should do. I need to make a question however: have you ever heard about an hypersensitivity to drugs caused by kundalini? I experienced that many times, and this is another serious problem
Hi Baizuo,
Yes, there can be a kind of catch 22 situation that people can get trapped in. The negative symptoms of a premature kundalini awakening can leave them in a condition where they are not able to do the things they need to do to rectify the situation. It sounds as if you have got into this predicament. My experience was that it is possible to work your way out of it gradually. Gradually increase the amount of grounding you do every day and your sleep will gradually improve etc. But, it does take time and patience.
Regarding your question, yes, when kundalini is strong people can become very sensitive to all sorts of things. People often become sensitive to certain foods, and even to things like sunlight, loud noises, negative people, and so on. These sensitivities do not last forever, but can last for several years. So, again, patience is the key. We spend many lifetimes getting ourselves into this mess, so it is not surprising if it takes a few years to get ourselves out of it.

What about fasting?
Hi Baizuo,
Fasting is a spiritual practice, which will accelerate the process of purification in the body. If someone is experiencing energetic overload, then fasting could make symptoms worse.
See here for more on fasting:
Lesson 310 - Fasting - A Powerful Spiritual Practice
Christi
“If we are adjusting to an awakening kundalini, we should follow an appropriate diet, which will at times lean toward a heavier diet and eating more often to temper the fire in the GI tract. During this stage of our inner development, fasting will not be advisable, as it can accelerate the purification process and exacerbate our kundalini symptoms.”
Does it mean i have to eat more? Or that i have to eat the same but divided in many small lunches? I don’t want to gain weight, i began intermittent fasting diet in 2017 but i didn t notice any increase in my kundalini issues. Intermittent fasting diet means i eat only 1 o 2 times a day with a period of 18 hours fasting, but in the main lunch i eat more than i used to when i ate 3 times a day.
Hi Baixuo,
It means that you can eat heavier food if you want to, for a period of time, and that this may mean that any symptoms being caused by excessive prana in the body, become less. It does not mean that you need to eat more. Heavier foods are things like potatoes, wheat pasta/ bread, meat etc. Light foods are things like salads.
If you are eating just once, or twice a day, then that is intermittent fasting, and that could lead to symptoms becoming worse over time. It would depend on the individual. If it does, then eating three times a day could help. It does depend on timings of meals as well, especially the duration of the longer “fasting window”. Eating twice a day at 10am and 2pm would give a maximum fasting window of 20 hours, whereas eating twice a day at 9am and 7pm would have a maximum fasting window of 14 hours. The purification process for intermittent fasts mostly sets in during the longer fasting window, and the longer this is, the more purification will take place.

Does that mean that the less purification i do the less kundalini disturbs i have? If so, what if i eat in the evening so as to not being sleeping with an empy stomach and reserving the purification/fasting for the day? I must say that when i began intermittent fasting in 2017 i never noticed a worsening of my insomnia but after i restarted to eat 3 times a day (after getting used to intermittent fasting) i had a worsening of sleep issues…
