Kundalini Awakening Symptoms

I have been a practitioner of kriya yoga for 6 years. I have been initiated in kriya 1 and lately in kriya 2 under the yukestwar giri lineage.
I have been experiencing quite a few energetic symptoms lately for the past 8-9 months.
I have been experiencing electrical currents/ vibration in the left leg and the left foot most of the time.The spinal currents are also present in the spine and have a general upward movement. Sometimes the intensity of the upward current is immense. I also feel currents in my head and my head is heavy most of the time. Sometimes the energy starts hitting a particular center like the 3rd center. Today I also faced the energy hitting the back of the right side of the chest in the spine. This was quite painful. Somtimes I have also felt pain while walking in the left leg because of continous energetic sensations there. When the energy hits the second center then usually I have pain the left tailbone. This energy also causes spinal heat sometimes and it feels like I am on fire. Although I feel that there is pattern to the workings of this energy which I don’t know. But sometimes I feel this energy is intelligent.

Because of all this activity it becomes quite difficult to concentrate. I have left kriya practice for the past 2-3 months and spordically do it if I feel the symptoms are very less. But because of this sometimes I feel I am going insane. Also I am afraid to consult a doctor because as of my knowledge medical science does not have a very good understanding of all this neural activity. But lately this is getting out of control, so I am thinking of getting an MRI and consulting a doctor.

Has anybody else encountered such symptoms, and if yes what did you do? Can I do anything to stop this energetic activity? How long does it take for such stuff to resolve if I leave all meditative practices.

Hello Apoorv, and welcome to the forum!

This sounds like a classic situation of energetic overload. Reducing and completely stopping spiritual practice, as you have been doing, will reduce the symptoms.

Additionally, I would recommend you add grounding practices to a regular routine. These include things like walking, swimming, light exercise (not too intense), socializing or just generally engaging in non-spiritual daily activity. Over time, this will reduce energy symptoms.

Being systematic with this can be really helpful. For example, set a timer 1-2 hours daily and go for a long walk. Or swimming, whatever you prefer. Spending more time will generally have a stronger grounding effect, reducing the intensity of energetic symptoms until you feel more comfortable.

How long it takes for all of this to completely resolve depends on how bad it is. But I would be prepared to do this grounding activity for multiple months.

All the best
