Please help me from storm of kundalini

[yogani]

Forwarded here from Hamed, translated:

I am Hamed, 40 years old., I was interested in philosophy and life meaning Since childhood. At the age of 18, my Kundalini was activated due to being near someone with active Kundalini - while listening to a drum song.I felt good for the first 2 months, but then I was completely sleepless, anxious, and shaky for 6 months - and even then, my anxiety did not completely disappear and I was always restless, running away from myself, and feeling lonely. Until 4 years ago (2022), I became familiar with meditation.My inner state became much better and I was no longer afraid of darkness, loneliness, tunnels, and elevators, but I also enjoyed it. 3 years ago, in the summer of (2023), I started practicing 1-hour asana and Ashwini Mudra to improve myself. Of course, I felt good for 2 weeks, but after that, I was stressed, restless, lonely, and felt like I was running away from myself, empty, and felt a deep sense of failure and negative thoughts. I really lived in a real hell. And I started studying and became acquainted with Kundalini energy, which was exactly my biography.I had no other choice because I knew that if I told anyone about my experiences, they would have a bad mentality towards me. I had to study alone in restlessness and stress. After 6 months, I returned to normal. And for a year and a half, I only did short-term meditation, and I had a good time and slept very well, but because I didn’t have a good relationship with calmness and moderation, I wanted to make more progress.Last year, in the summer (2025), I started practicing asana and Ashwini Mudra for 30 minutes a day. With this mindset that I have been meditating for 1.5 years now and I have reached the point of clearing the chakras and I am now ready. But I entered hell again. Severe restlessness and body heating. feeling of emptiness in life. A feeling of the unimportance of life. In other words, dying within 6 months was the best gift for me. (The interesting thing was that in both Kundalini surges, it happened when I had woken up late, and unfortunately, I had developed a deep sense of connection between waking up in the morning and success and spiritual progress. And in both cases, I felt a very strong cramp in my heart, and the starting point of those surges was waking up late.)In each of these 3 times that I had a Kundalini surge, in the mornings after waking up the chakras, my heart was hot and I felt a strong sense of longing, which would subside within half an hour. But I persevered. And I promised myself that I would not do asanas and Ashwini Mudra again. It was at this time that I came across your books and started reading the book Kundalini, Asana and Meditation… and it was very useful and more academic than any other Kundalini book I had read. But again after a year the same hell came back (2026). But after reading your books again I realized that this was not because of asanas and mudra but because of 20 minutes of meditation twice a day and Tantra, which sometimes took up to 4 months to maintain energy.Now after reading YOGANI “S book again I have both reduced the exercises to 5 minutes of meditation a day and I also realized that I should lower my sensitivity level. And also I should not be in the frequency of anger and fear… but I should be happy and content in all situations. That is, I should have mental silence and emotional stability. My question to you is that I do not do meditation in the form of Dharana, meaning I do not focus on the sound (mantra) but on nothing or self-awareness. I do Dhyana. Does this cause a Kundalini storm?And the second question is that I am one of those who are sensitive even to 20-minute meditation. Should I do 2.30 minutes of meditation and 1 minute of spinal breathing per day for two years, and after 2 years, add 2.30 minutes of meditation and 1 minute of spinal breathing every year? There will be no problem. Because right now I still have a little homesickness and a burning heart chakra after waking up, and even after doing Dhyana (self-awareness meditation), I feel pain in my temples. On the other hand, I feel a pity to completely eliminate this path of yoga. But I am no longer interested in that self-inflicted hell. Thank you for your loving presence, which was like a cool breeze to me in that Kundalini fire. Thank you for saving me and bringing me back to life. and i feel deep sadness after awaking up in my heart chakra

what is your offering in addition of long distance walking and heavy food meals?

how can i make the storm of kundalini period shorter as it takes 6 month every time for me?

Hi Hamed! I cheated a little bit and got an answer generated by the AYP Plus artificial intelligence. I feel it is accurately diagnosing your condition and providing a practical solution to your problems! Now if someone could kindly translate that and send it back to Hamed!!

Your situation reflects a classic case of spiritual energy sensitivity and premature kundalini awakening. The “hellish” cycles you describe—moving between periods of intense practice and months of retrenching—occur because your nervous system is purifying faster than it can comfortably assimilate the energy flow.

Here is an offering of additional measures and perspectives from the sources to help stabilize your condition and shorten the duration of these “storms.”

1. Expanding Your Grounding “Toolkit”

Beyond long walks and heavy meals, grounding (or spiritual grounding) involves any activity that integrates inner silence into the material world and shifts attention away from your internal energy.

• Mundane Physical Labor: Activities like gardening, cleaning, or household chores are highly effective because they engage you in the physical “now” without spiritual focus.

• Aerobic and Toning Exercise: Moderate daily exercise—jogging, biking, or muscle-toning—helps dissipate wayward energies and smooth out the nervous system.

• Tai Chi or Qi Gong: These slow-movement arts are designed for “rooting” and are excellent therapies for smoothing out surging kundalini.

• Social Engagement: Interacting with family, friends, or coworkers on non-spiritual topics helps stabilize the inner witness in a healthy, “worldly” way.

• Service (Karma Yoga): Shifting your focus from your own internal state to the needs of others is one of the most stabilizing forces on the path.

2. Addressing Specific Symptoms

• Burning and Sadness in the Heart Chakra: This indicates an energy imbalance in the heart area. You might try “Heart Breathing” for 5 minutes, inhaling from the third eye down into the heart and exhaling back out the same way, which purifies the heart more gently. If you feel a “strong obstruction” there, you can also practice “skimming over” it with your attention during any breathing practice rather than hitting it head-on.

• Pain in the Temples after Dhyana: This suggests energy is accumulating in the head. This often happens with “non-relational” self-inquiry—inquiring purely in the thinking mind rather than from a foundation of stillness. To balance this, you can try a very light Chin Pump (without breath retention) to help circulate energy between the head and heart.

• Burning Chakra upon Waking: If energy jolts or burning occur during sleep or upon waking, it is a sign that the purification from the previous day’s practice has not fully integrated. Ensure you are taking a very long rest (10–15 minutes or more) at the end of your sittings, preferably lying down, to allow the process to finish before you get up.

3. How to Shorten the “Storm” Period

The primary reason your “storms” take 6 months is the delayed reaction inherent in powerful energy practices like Ashwini Mudra, Tantra, and intense meditation.

• Prevent the “Dam Break”: The key is to self-pace before you hit the wall. By the time you are in “hell,” the dam has already broken. Progress is not measured by the “fireworks” but by how you feel in your ordinary daily activities.

• Avoid the “All or Nothing” Cycle: Instead of stopping entirely and then jumping back into 30 minutes of asanas, aim for a stable baseline you can maintain for years. Your current 5 minutes of meditation is a valid, heroic practice if it brings you stability.

• The “Flywheel” Effect: Once energy is flowing, it takes less practice to maintain progress. You do not need to “hammer” the nervous system with long sessions; a few minutes of “gentle persuasion” is often more effective than a sledgehammer.

Summary of Guidance

Continue your 5 minutes of meditation and avoid all energy-stimulating practices (Tantra, mudras, bandhas, or intense asanas) until you have been symptom-free for several months. Do not feel a “pity” for doing less; “less is more” for the sensitive meditator, and this careful stewardship of your nervous system is the fastest way to permanent freedom.

The guru is in you.
