Brent Spirit (above) is the Founder of KundaliniAwareness.org. This not-for-profit org offers a lot of free, grounded information, including a podcast about Kundalini. Brent understands that some people start their journey of awakening with an experience of Kundalini, and some people become very distressed with the phenomena associated with Kundalini. In fact, it may cause a spiritual crisis during which a person needs support from someone qualified who they can consult. It can be a lonely path as qualified support people are few.

Kundalini-Defined

Kundalini is a Sanskrit term that refers to a powerful energy that typically lies dormant in a person. When it is activated, or "awakened," it works to bring a person into higher states of consciousness. This does NOT depend on taking any mind-altering substance; but may be activated by meditation, yoga, or other practices aimed at creating deeper peacefulness. The interview above gives more detail. When Kundalini is active it can lead a person to feel bliss. It can also lead a person to feel confused, out of balance, and ungrounded as an understanding of Kundalini is rare in the West.
