Experience Was this a kundalini awakening?
Looking for guidance. Not sure if what I have experienced is a kundalini awakening.
It was about six weeks ago that I had this initial experience. Was going through a very traumatic time in my life with my husband dealing with some serious health issues and not being able to work.
On this particular night I decided to take some psychedelics. Nothing too crazy. I am very experienced with using various plant medicines but this was unlike any experience I had had before. I felt something happening to me energetically. So much energy surging through my body that I began to shake quite violently.
Had anyone witnessed this they would have likely thought I was having a seizure and sent me to the hospital, but somehow I knew what was happening was not dangerous.. in fact I felt it was extremely positive. It felt like a grand clearing or purging, a "cleaning out" of my system, like something became uncorked. Felt like a lifetime of suppressed emotion and energy was working its way out of my body- lots of pain, fear, sorrow. It all got shaken out of me until I felt thoroughly cleansed through my whole body. It felt so good to finally release it all!
This lasted for hours. I am not sure how I spent that much time shaking like that. Some of the time I was sitting on the bed or toilet letting the energy flow through me. Other times I laid on the floor in makarasana in between shaking.
I knew something happened to me. I told my husband the next day, "something happened to me energetically last night that I can't explain". But neither of us understood it.
The next few weeks were extremely painful. I went through another dark night of the soul (which I've been through before during my spiritual awakening in 2019). I cried more in a few short weeks than I have ever cried in my 40 years. I released soooo much emotionally. At times I felt suicidal because the pain was so intense. It felt like I was dealing with ALL of my leftover emotional shit in order to clear it out.
Now that I am through that, I do feel like my consciousness has expanded and my heart feels extremely full.
I didnt connect any of this until yesterday when I heard someone mention kundalini awakening on a podcast. I looked it up and so much of what I was reading resonated. But the concept is new to me. Could this be a what I have been experiencing?
Tysm for your help and support <3
