Kundalini syndrome (including impotence) after tantric sadhana and after watching pornography on the internet

Hello,

I’m new to this forum. I’m a man in my 40s, name is Margo.

I am looking for help with the symptoms of kundalini syndrome. Below is a brief overview of what happened, I’ll elaborate later if necessary.

Between 2019-2025 I meditated on second, third and fourth chakra (with kundalini Mahamantra) under the guidance of Om Swami. I have received initiation from Om Swami.

I participated in the Navarna Tantra Sadhana in Himalayas in January 2025 and soon after that I also performed the 40 days Ucchista Ganapati Sadhana. I was probably not ready to perform tantric sadhanas, I lacked the necessary preparation, guidance and inner purity.

March last year, couple week after tantric sadhana I did an impure act - I watched obscenity (sex-porn videos) from internet. I can say that I was addicted to porn, but I didn’t let this addiction come up very often. I watched sex videos about 5-7 times a year, or on average once every few months. Afterwards, I always felt bad about it. A few weeks after watching the obscenity that took place in March 2025 kundalini syndrome-psychosis started with several painful symptoms. At the beginning my perception of reality changed - suddenly I saw the whole world as Devi’s energy and experienced Devi’s anger that I had spoiled my pure, high and beautiful energy, which I had received as a result of my guru´s and Devi’s blessing and sadhanas. At the same time I felt how golden honey-like energy was removed from my second chakra. Next morning complete impotence followed, along with a feeling of nausea and pain and a vacuum feeling in the lower abdomen. Around 10 days later I started to feel “alien” energy in head, heat and pressure in the head and ears, Heat in the legs, hallucinations, pain and paralysis-like condition in the neck, pain in the spine area, pain in the arms, legs, ringing in the ears, etc. The condition became so severe that it was a near-death experience - I felt like I was either going to die or end up paralyzed in a (psychiatric) hospital. Going to work became completely impossible for several months. Since May of last year, I started receiving acupuncture and doing exercises under the guidance of a yoga therapist. Yoga exercises were designed to improve the movement of prana in the body and cool the head. From July to August last year, I walked barefoot on the grass, doing grounding.

Now, more than a year later, the very acute and symptoms have subsided, but the impotence remains, as well as some dizziness, moderate pressure and some heat in the head also. I am still like in a fog and continue to experience mild nausea every day. Along with impotence, my libido has also gone. I get tired quickly, sleeping is possible only with sleeping pills. Some days I still experience heat in my hands and feet, as well as mild nerve pain. And depression of course. Unfortunately I have not received help from my guru (Om Swami), In March last year he separated for a long period of solitude, where he was not even available to his students.

If anyone has any ideas where I could get help, I would be very grateful.

Hi Margo, and welcome to the forum.

Sorry to hear about the difficulties you have experienced, these are all common signs of overload which many of us here have experienced to differing degrees.

If I were you I would stop all spiritual practices for a while and do lots of grounding practices like walking in nature, swimming or working in the garden to help balance the energies.plus eating heavier meals can also help grounding.

When you have got back to a state of balance/comfort, maybe start to reintroduce a daily deep meditation practice and start from there.

Here is a link to the AYP main lessons which explains the way we build a balanced practice over a long period of time-

I hope that helps!

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your reply and thanks for the link too! I`ll listen to topics related to kundalini there.
When I developed kundalini syndrome, my spiritual practices stopped. At first I felt so bad that I couldn’t do anything, but when I stabilized somewhat, I tried, but I found that even a little mantra repetition increases/creates heat in my head.
Today’s situation is that I do a little mantra repetition, focusing gently on my heart. Long concentration, strong concentration and focusing on the third eye still create/increase heat in my head.
I haven’t been doing meditation exercises since I developed kundalini syndrome. I don’t dare touch my chakras anymore.
Or actually, my short mantra repetition can also be considered a meditation exercise - I imagine a certain form of God in my heart when I repeat mantras in my mind and it gives me joy.

Stress and depression also cause heat in my head - which largely stems from impotence. Before the kundalini syndrome, my sexuality worked through my heart - it was a very beautiful state, I had a deeply satisfying attachment to a beautiful woman, but now it’s gone and instead there is fear and depression.
If I could get some kind of roadmap on how to heal from impotence (in a way that doesn’t increase heat in the head), that would be a great relief.
