What happens when Kundalini awakens?
Considered a form of spiritual energy, raising Kundalini requires one be firmly disciplined in both mind and body in order to be properly prepared to embrace the responsibility that comes with Kundalini awakening. The phrase "Kundalini awakening" essentially refers to the discovery and "awakening" of inner knowledge.

Put simply, the energy of kundalini is known for its transformative power in the process of self development and spiritual development.

Awakening Kundalini shakti can thrust you into a whirlwind of attempting to make sense of what you're experiencing. Some people are unable to cope. As a result, they may seek refuge with substances, such as drugs or alcohol. The best thing you can do to head off fear is to educate yourself about Kundalini and what to do if you suspect you have Kundalini Syndrome.
Symptoms of Kundalini Syndrome:
Typically, physical signs of this type of spiritual crisis are confined to joint pain, intense headaches, and nausea.
It is not uncommon to also experience symptoms that impact your sensory perception, such as:
- inability to regulate body temperature
- feeling "electricity" running up and down the spine
- the sensation of the body vibrating
Generally, the effects of Kundalini syndrome overwhelm one's emotional and psychological health. Awakened Kundalini energy itself can be difficult to handle even for the most grounded individual.
A range of syndrome-induced emotional and psychological symptoms may manifest in varying degrees of severity, including:
- depersonalization
- "breaking" with reality
- mood swings
- hallucinations
Healing solutions to the Kundalini Syndrome
Healing your body and spirit requires plenty of sleep, eating whole, real foods, and spending quality time outdoors to ground and restore balance to your chakra system. If symptoms intensify, seek assistance from a spiritual healer to help restore chakra balance. Avoid unnecessary exertion, including meditation and yoga, until symptoms subside.
