How can we get contact with u i need ur help
I had a spontaneous kundalini awakening and I really feel like it was top down. I was totally ungrounded and so overwhelmed with synchronicity and channeling downloads on top of feeling each chakra come online in the reverse order. I was so freaked out I voluntarily committed myself twice in 2 months. So glad content like this exists for new souls.
Well done on getting through it. No mean feat. Warrior!
Oh thank you! I feel that is what happened to me. I awakened around 2:30 am with a wonderful tingling in the pineal gland region in my brain that travelled down my body and spine. I then melted totally relaxed into my mattress. Qigong is my movement that I use, because I have spent two years shaking from nose to toes with a fear that I am insane from the Covid Era. Also, My meditations were killed during this time with Monkey Brain. Is any of this familiar? Am I misinterpreting this experience?
Me too!! I am so glad you were able get some guidance when you went to the hospital...I know it can seem like you are going bananas!! Mine happened just before I was falling asleep, listening to a video of ascension symptoms, and all of a sudden I heard the voice on the video speak in some weird words (I didn't know what light language was back then) and then I said "HERE IT COMES" (HOW DID I KNOW???) and this huge beam of light, like a lightning bolt came into my body from my crown down. I could hear a low rumble, my entire body vibrated, and I could see my entire brain light up and all of the molecules separate and rearrange themselves into a new configuration. There were then several HUGE flashes of light inside my body as I "watched" from the peripheral. It was absolutely intense!! When it was done, I could smell burnt hair! That night I had a very lucid dream, and then I had my first out of body experience as I flew through walls of my house up through the roof. Later, I saw 11:11 on the microwave and instantly my eyes involuntarily closed and I was moving through dark space, feeling a part of the stars. It was sooooo beautiful! I didn't sleep at all that night, (nor was I tired the next day at all) and in the morning I could see a golden honeycomb "overlay" over everything, as well as five golden telescoping rings in the sky in my backyard. Sooooo many bizarre things happened and still happen, just not as often as they did five years ago....phew!! It was such an amazing gift to have been allowed to experience this. I am still awestruck even as I write this. I hope you are now a little more able to understand with all of the great content on YT and are enjoying the experience of Awakening to your TRUE SELF!! Much love!!
I tried to commit myself as well but they wouldn't take me... they said they're nothing wrong with you and I was like..umm... yeah the light being standing behind you might argue that... it was so intense
@@marniefriedman9564 I don’t think you’re misinterpreting it at all. It’s a disorienting experience but it will and does get better and even more profound and beautiful.
I've recently had an awakening. I'm not sure what kind but my life has changed so much in three months. I was meditating around 2 AM in early July. I fell into the deepest meditative state I had ever been in. I was then standing on a crystal clear platform in the Cosmos. A cloud of gold, green, and purple energy swirled up to the right of me. It spoke in a grandfatherly, comforting yet booming voice. It was unlike any voice I had ever heard. We were looking at rectangular screens made of crystals or stone. They were curved and showed memories of my life. It talked me through healing some inner child wounds. I snapped out of it due to someone shooting fireworks off outside.
I then felt guided to lie on the floor and do some stretches. My spine made a terrible cracking noise from top to bottom. I went back into the vision. I was floating in space, there were such beautiful details, I don't have enough space here to describe it all. But the voice told me I was healed and I saw all kinds of things. One thing was a purple lotus that bloomed with a galaxy as its jewel. It was my right diaphragm inflating. I never knew I had issues with it. My team of doctors always told me I had neuropathy from being a diabetic. But apparently, there is a thing called Phrenic Neuropathy, which is an injured phrenic nerve that can cause major issues in the body. Including compromising your diaphragm.
When I snapped back to reality, my stomach made a horrendous rumble, my eyes burned, my ears popped and I got a post-nasal drip. There are more details to it but basically, all of the chronic pain I had for the past 15 years was gone. My body jump-started its healing process.
There is so much more to all of this and I have been looking to speak to someone about it but every “Guru” I've found online wants to charge me. Most people I know in real life are just ‘meh’ about this. But my physical health is proof enough for me. It's been quite lonely, my third eye has been nearly non-stop buzzing since then. A lot of things that I can’t explain have happened and some I can. I just would love to share my experience and feel validated about all of this.
Final note: I was never much of a believer in God. I was raised by a Father who was Muslim and a Catholic Mother. I had always been of the belief that our universe is pure energy. I now believe in this energy I spoke with to be “God” though in my mind I refer to it as The Force 😁
I also saw tons of different energies in my visions. Including green and then golden energy running up my spine. It felt like my body unlocked and I had immediately gotten my mobility back. Dozens of health issues were gone in an instant.
That is amazing, thanks for sharing
Wow, this is absolutely amazing and eye opening 🤗. Thank you for sharing sister. This is just awesome what you shared 🙏❤️🙏
My spiritual awakening came when a family friend invited me to a yoga class, and it completely changed my life. A couple months later, my Kundalini awakening has hit... right in the middle of the darkest experience of my life. I recently came to the horrifying realisation that I most likely have CTPSD, and have been weathering an episode of the worst forms of these symptoms. I almost gave up on the spiritual path at that point, in order to focus on the more mental side of things, but I persisted.
One night I was meditating and had a really intense experience. Not out of the ordinary for me - over the past couple months I've had a number of powerful experiences where I've felt vibrations through my whole body, but not much more than that. But this time? It was physical. There was a pop at my root chakra, and warmth flooded in. I could feel the serpent itself, a real physical feeling of this huge snake wrapping itself around my spine. I could feel my flesh move to accommodate it, it was really eerie.
It took... probably two hours overall, for the snake to reach my heart. And at that point, it was like my brain began to shut down. Similar to dissociation, but with even less consciousness to it. The feeling slowly faded without reaching further than my heart, and I went straight to sleep after that.
The repressed memories started coming that following day.
There's a visceral kind of horror when you realise you forgot. It's like learning about yourself all over again, while also feeling like you already knew, while also trying to process the horrific experience that made you block it out in the first place. It's been an extremely difficult few days since then, and I'm still suffering. My chakras have been on fire recently, particularly around the solar plexus/heart/throat.
But this video just randomly came to me after yet another sleepless night, and I can't explain how much better I feel for it. I only thought to myself earlier tonight, "Well, if these memories are coming up then clearly I'm getting centered enough to be able to handle them" so it's all come in exactly the right time. And now I'm coming to discover that the universe has been nudging me into this outcome for a long time. So yes, this is absolutely the worst time I've ever had in my life. But for the first time I have a will to live, a will to see the beauty in the world, and this video has helped me to recognise that. Thank you.
I’m having a spiritual awakening I’m getting downloads like the truth of reality. One time I was meditating and I noticed I wasn’t breathing anymore and my heartbeat was suuuuuper SLOW. My body was light. I thought I was dead but then something was like just let go and it was amazing
Wow, I think I had a Kundalini Awakening... I followed my intuition to launch my business as a Sound Healer, sold out all 30 tickets (something i had never done but trusted was possible), did the Sound Bath event ... Next day I woke up with such intense pain coming from my sacral joint that I couldn't even move. I was on the floor for days. Wiped out completely for weeks... At the time i felt my body was releasing past held trauma and emotions that I no longer needed to carry, since nothing else physically triggered the injury. Ever since then, I've felt more in my power, starting a new era of my life as a business owner in the healing arts. Now I realize this must have been a Kundalini awakening.
Had a Kundalini spontaneous awakening in 2020 around Aug, but mine turned into kundalini psychosis because I was in a very dark place. My kundalini awakening traumatized me on top of 49 years of trauma already , and for 8 months, I was in what I would call a literal hell.. the things i saw right here on earth felt like what we see in horror movies... I'm still recovering from this, and it's been a really rough ride. I ain't gonna lie, though... the stage that was all love... was amazing, and I felt so connected. I could see energy and even could understand animals and plants. wish I could have stayed there forever!!! But the rest of it was too intense.
My trigger was such deep emotional pain... cracked me open as well... and I've been healing since and trying to navigate all this on my own with my guides and higher authority. My awakening was NOT a pleasant experience, and I'm still in the midst of it. I was able to move things without even trying, and the pain was so bad I couldn't even bend in my midsection author searing hit fire pain. And the exhaustion is like nothing else. The fear that I experienced is also not even able to be described in words. I was so alone, and no one understood what i was going through and everyone kept telling me I was crazy. It was SO intense I feel like I'm healing trauma because of it.
Wow, I can relate to what you went through. Seems it’s a hell for everyone. But I want to let you know, once you fully surrender to it, learn to relax into it, accept the pain and be still with it, the energy will ease on you and you will go though it much faster. Learn a microcosmic meditation practice. It will help you clear the all the blockages much faster. With each breath raise the energy up to the spine from the bottom and with exhale bring it down through front channel. Good luck 🤗
@@Smbat_m thank you
Holy crap, 8 months! I was terrified AND I had the context for it. I can’t imagine what that was like. Big love to you
@melissabird23 Yes, it was the most traumatic thing I've been through in my life yet, and I've been through a lot! but not because of all the stuff that was happening to me.. it was traumatic because i didn't know what it was and no one else was there to help me through it and everyone kept gaslighting me and telling me I was crazy and would leave me all alone....the terror was...well there are NO words for it.... it was, in my opinion, literal hell on earth.
But I got through it and sang myself through it actually... I would sing praise to God and kept praying and singing.. like 24 hours a day.. it was the ONLY thing that kept me sane in an insane time.
I completely went through this, it was very intense filled with anxiety & fear. I still experience fear now & it’s just the worst feeling. I’ll be asleep & just wake up with intense fear out of nowhere, I’m doing better but I still struggle.
Had my kundalini awakening at 25. I was drawn to and bought a book on kundalini meditation as I was seeking spiritual equilibrium and grounding. It was an intense bolt of energy shooting through my body. I set aside my spiritual journey for 25 years to focus on career and supporting my family while periodically returning to meditation. Had my spiritual awakening about 5 years ago. The feeling was incredible and I felt balanced and at peace. I’m incredibly drawn to nature these days which is a major shift for me as I’ve always been a “city gal” with concrete under my feet. Much peace and love to all. 🙏
Tell me what book you read about this please.
This explains the chills on my legs. The constant purging. Body aches with constant thirst and fatigue. God bless you Christina for this video.
same here!!!
I had a severe spontaneous Kundalini I thought I was possessed as I've never heard of this or spiritual awakenings, It felt as if I was loosing my marbles and every one thought I was crazy. I seeked help from religious leaders until I did my own research only then it resonated with me and I felt a sense of relief ... been years of changes and learning. The gifts 🎁
Thank you! Had a kundalini awakening, it’s not over yet - and it’s always there, like a gentle goddess ❤
Kundalini was a positive experience for me
Well My spiritual awakening sucks, people irritate me, and I’m lonely af. I don’t even know what to do and I can’t even talk to anybody.
Been there, my friend. It will get better. ❤
Your tips are consistently perfect. We appreciate you immensely, cherished teacher.
🦅🔥🦅namaste🦅🔥🦅
I did this in a year it’s so crazy to hear all the people say the years and years they had to go threw this it’s speeding up I went from godless to co creating from wanting out to excelling in every aspect in my life this is amazing
Can you share more about your experience ?
Yes please share more. I’m in my 60s. I’ve dealt with a good amount of violent death in my life. In 2014 my old friend shot himself in the head while sitting on my bed visiting with me. I was in shock for about 3 months. After 3 months I felt like I just woke up. I knew the world or God was trying to tell me something and I wasn’t getting it. I was sooooo certain that I was missing something huge. My son was 20 then. My only child. I forgot that I was missing something. Became a grandma. My grandson lived with his dad so I have a close relationship with my grandson. Then the 2nd week is of third grade my son n his girl got into a fight, he and a buddy went drinking and got into a wreck and my son died. My son is the gift that keeps on giving…. Even from the non physical world. I always tried to make myself a better person from the second I found out I was pregnant. Since I have to be willing to give up everything physical to be successful at my awakening, I never would have entertained this journey before. I got to a point that I was afraid to love others bc I thought (knowing differently, intellectually) they would die.
So there’s no turning back, but I would really like to get this meditation down…..
H E L P..?
I’m sooo ready for the excelling part, feel like i’m on the edge of it too! Love hearing this! ❤🥳
I had a spiritual awakening washing dishes in my kitchen back in 2018. I just recently had a kundalini awakening a couple months ago, just putting on pants 😂 my husband found me on the bedroom floor sobbing uncontrollably. I’m surprised through all of what I’ve been through I’m still married. Because it’s been a wicket ride!
Welcome 😂, I had my kundalini during a Tony Robbins event, his voice woke up all my chakras, I couldn’t sleep that night and the next day I needed to be in the last event of Mr. Robbins, that night I even confessed my love to the person I was dating 🤣. I said to myself, “what are you doing?, you aren’t like that”. 🤣 I kept my best friend up all night crying on the phone for no reason 😳. She called our other friend to ask her (she’s a reiki) and she said it was my kundalini.
@@heather4089I had a kundalini awakening at a Tony robbins event as well, but it was during a “oneness blessing”
After quitting caffeine and doing pineal gland meditations i’m seeing code right before the wake state when I do meditations at night, it’s showing me the truth of reality, so i’m trying to figure out what my purpose is, i know it’s some type of healing and I love music.. just not sure?! This is wild 👁️❤️
Christina Honey!!! I love you you ALWAYS SHOW UP IN MY LIFE RIGHT ON TIME!!! it has been 4 years now that I have been a student of yours through my spiritual journey. This one is rough to clear. I know it is Kundalini I did not know it can be both at one time. I thank you for helping me through my journey. 😊
I'll never forget that first time waking up feeling like my bones were red hot... ears ringing so hard I couldn't think... and eventually popping out of my body for a few seconds
Everything your describing throughout the entirety of this video keeps making me feel chills and almost like an electric pulse under my skin from the crown of my head, down my arms, and to my lower back. I haven’t felt like I’ve been able to keep still in years, and every time I try to meditate, my body involuntarily moves. Up to this point, I’ve felt like I was doing everything wrong. The moment you said to surrender to the energy I immediately felt those chills intensify. Glad I stumbled upon your video
12:33 woah…my gut instinct has also been feeling like I need to chug water all the time as well…
I don’t understand why anyone would want to stop a kundalini. It was like being one with God. There was zero bad side effects. It was bliss.
Love u sooooo much Christina!! In a small city in China, I don't have as much spiritual support as people in America may have.
But thanks to your beautiful videos, those insights really help me get through the toughest part of my spiritual journey.
Many thanks, many love!!!💜❤️💙🧡💜💛🖤💚💓
I was a powerlifter for many years. Then i was in a place were as we know we are waking up. My Kundilini rose and it was so powerful it taxed my body and mind i had to stop lifting and just learn to meditate and do other body movements slowly moving through the hardest thing i ever experienced. I wish i had a guro then when ot happened. I thought i was loosing my mind. Ty .
" Any knowledge about kundalini or about esoteric paths of bioenergy - the inner paths of elan vital - is generalized. It differs from individual to individual; the root is not going to be the same. With A it will be different, with B it will be different, with C it will be different. Your inner life has an individuality, so when you acquire something through theoretical knowledge it is not going to help - it may hinder - because it is not about you. It cannot be about you. You will only know about yourself when you go within.
There are chakras, but the number differs with each individual. One may have seven, one may have nine; one may have more, one may have less. That is the reason why so many different traditions have developed. Buddhists talk of nine chakras, Hindus talk of seven, Tibetans talk of four - and they are all right!
The root of kundalini, the passage through which kundalini passes, is also different with each individual. The more you go in, the more individual you are. For instance, in your body your face is the most individual part, and in the face the eyes are even more individual. The face is more alive than any other part of the body; that is why it takes on an individuality. You may not have noticed that with a particular age - particularly with sexual maturity - your face begins to assume a shape that will continue, more or less, for the whole life. Before sexual maturity the face changes much, but with sexual maturity your individuality is fixed and given a pattern, and now the face will be more or less the same.
The eyes are even more alive than the face, and they are so individual that every moment they change. Unless one attains enlightenment, the eyes are never fixed. Enlightenment is another kind of maturity.
With sexual maturity the face becomes fixed, but there is another maturity where the eyes become fixed. You cannot see any change in Buddha's eyes: his body will grow old, he will die, but his eyes will continue to be the same. That has been one of the indications. When someone attains nirvana, the eyes are the only door by which outsiders can know whether the man has really attained it. Now the eyes never change. Everything changes, but the eyes remain the same. Eyes are expressive of the inner world.
But kundalini is still deeper.
No theoretical knowledge is helpful. When you have some theoretical knowledge, you begin to impose it on yourself. You begin to visualize things to be the way you have been taught, but they may not correspond to your individual situation. Then much confusion is created.
One has to feel the chakras, not know about them. You have to feel; you have to send feelers inside yourself. Only when you feel your chakras, and your kundalini and its passage, is it helpful; otherwise, it is not helpful. In fact, knowledge has been very destructive as far as the inner world is concerned. The more knowledge gained, the less the possibility of feeling the real, the authentic, things.
You begin to impose what you know upon yourself. If someone says, "Here is the chakra, here is the center," then you begin to visualize your chakra at that spot; and it may not be there at all. Then you will create imaginary chakras. You can create; the mind has the capacity. You can create imaginary chakras, and then, because of your imagination, a flow will begin that will not be kundalini but will be simple imagination - a completely illusory, dreamlike phenomenon.
Once you can visualize centers and can create an imaginary kundalini, then you can create everything. Then imaginary experiences will follow, and you will develop a very false world inside you. The world that is without is illusory, but not so illusory as the one you can create inside.
All that is within is not necessarily real or true, because imagination is also within, dreams are also within. The mind has a faculty - a very powerful faculty - to dream, to create illusions, to project.
That is why it is good to proceed in meditation completely unaware of kundalini, of chakras. If you stumble upon them, then it is good. You may come to feel something; only then, ask. You may begin to feel a chakra working, but let the feeling come first. You may feel energy rising up, but let the feeling come first. Do not imagine, do not think about it, do not make any intellectual effort to understand beforehand; no pre-notion is needed. Not only is it not needed, but it is positively harmful.
And another thing: kundalini and the chakras do not belong to your anatomy, to your physiology.
Chakras and kundalini belong to your subtle body, to your sukshma sharira, not to this body, the gross body. Of course, there are corresponding spots. The chakras are part of your sukshma sharira, but your physiology and anatomy have spots that correspond to them. If you feel an inner chakra, only then can you feel the corresponding spot; otherwise you can dissect the whole body, but nothing like chakras will be found.
All the talk and all the so-called evidence and all the scientific claims that your gross body has something like kundalini and chakras is nonsense, absolute nonsense. There are corresponding spots, but those spots can only be felt when you feel the real chakras. With the dissection of your gross body nothing can be found; there is nothing. So the question is not of anatomy.
One thing more: it is not necessary to pass through chakras. It is not necessary; one can just bypass them. It is also not necessary that you will feel kundalini before enlightenment. The phenomenon is very different from what you may think. Kundalini is not felt because it is rising; kundalini is only felt if you do not have a very clear passage. If the passage is completely clear-cut, then the energy flows but you cannot feel it.
You feel it when there is something there that resists the flow. If the energy flows upward and you have blocks in the passage, only then do you feel it. So the person who feels more kundalini is really blocked: there are many blocks in the passage, so the kundalini cannot flow.
When there is resistance, then the kundalini is felt. You cannot feel energy directly unless there is resistance. If I move my hand and there is no resistance, the movement will not be felt. The movement is felt because the air resists, but it is not felt as much as when a stone resists; then I will feel the movement more. And in a vacuum I will not feel the movement at all - so it is relative.
Buddha never talked about kundalini. It is not that there was no kundalini in his body, but the passage was so clear that there was no resistance. Thus, he never felt it. Mahavira never talked about kundalini. Because of this, a very false notion was created, and then Jainas, who followed Mahavira, thought that kundalini was all nonsense, that there was nothing like it. Thus, because Mahavira himself did not feel kundalini, twenty-five centuries of Jaina tradition has continued to deny it, claiming it does not exist. But Mahavira's reason for not talking about it was very different.
Because there were no blocks in his body, he never felt it.
So it is not necessary for you to feel kundalini. You may not feel it at all. And if you do not feel kundalini, then you will bypass chakras, because the working of the chakras is needed only to break the blocks. Otherwise, they are not needed.
When there is a block, and the kundalini is blocked, then the nearby chakra begins to move because of the blocked kundalini. It becomes dynamic. The chakra begins to move because of the blocked kundalini and it moves so fast that, because of the movement, a particular energy is created which breaks the block.
If the passage is clear no chakra is needed, and you will never feel anything. Really, the existence of chakras is just to help you. If kundalini is blocked, then the help is just nearby. Some chakra will take the energy that is being blocked. If the energy cannot move further it will fall back. Before it falls back the chakra will absorb the energy completely, and the kundalini will move in the chakra. Through movement the energy becomes more vital, it becomes more alive, and when it again comes to the block it can break it. So it is just an arrangement, a help.
If kundalini moves and there are no blocks, then you will never feel any chakras. That is why someone may feel nine chakras, someone else may feel ten chakras, and someone else may feel only three or four, or one, or none. It depends. In actual fact, there are infinite chakras and at every movement, every step of the kundalini, a chakra is by the side to help. If the help is needed, it can be given."
Christina you've healed me. Forever grateful to you x
I recently had a spontaneous, mostly grounded kundalini awakening, which I believe was prompted by my spirit guides. Thank you for your channel! Trying to navigate how to communicate this with my psychiatrist tomorrow.
❤
Amazing video Christina all the things you said about Cundalini they are true!
I’ve literally just gone through a spontaneous Kundalini Awakening. This makes sense why these past few months have been so chaotic and intense. I’ve never experienced anything like it.
Christina may God continue to guide you. You are a blessing to the world. You are really living and doing your mission on earth. U connect to your grace. Have a beautiful week. I am a spiritual child but don't know where to begin.
I began to awaken spiritually in early 2019 when I finally got serious about dealing with my alcoholism. I started meditating and suddenly was drawn to metaphysical phenomena, and started practicing kundalini yoga. That summer I met my masculine counterpart. I believe kundalini awakened during one interaction with him that August, then a week later I was doing an exercise called yoni kriya and felt the heat swirling up my back. I was in a blissed out state for over 2 months then the DNOTS hit. In January of 2020 I felt pure orgasmic chills almost ALL day long. I thought I must be enlightened. 😂.
Shortly after that is when the rollercoaster really started. Whenever I’d feel kundalini rising again it was extremely uncomfortable, like Christina describes, and I resisted the hell out of it. I fell off the wagon 🍸 multiple times, it was just so intense. I’m shocked I didn’t have psychosis since I had a massive amount of repressed complex trauma and a moderately severe dissociative condition. Sometimes my sacral chakra would be so overactive, I felt like an animal in heat! So uncomfortable.
I notice now when I feel the energy intensely (like during an eclipse portal!) I get those orgasmic chills when I DANCE, and funny I always hated dancing 😂. Great advice in this video ❤❤❤
This is probably not weird, but I listen to your vids after I've experienced what my guides tell me. So, I know without knowing. I like to see if others have experienced what I've experienced. I also understand every journey is unique to our paths. I trust it whole-heartedly. I understand all will come in time. Surrendering was the best thing I ever did. My guides brought me here today to remind me, they know, they got this, and they have me. Thank you❤ and thank you for being the light my guides trust in.
Gosh you make it sound easy! A kundalini awakening 6-8 weeks 😮 I wish! I have been going through it for 2 and a half years and it is the most challenging painful thing! I am involved with a good few communities all going through this process and it doesn’t seem to be quick! Maybe I’m not understanding fully what you are sharing here 🤷🏻♀️ however I still do enjoy your videos ❤
The Kundalini awakening and rising are two different events which is not explained here and could be confusing for some. The awakening itself can happen rather quick, but it is not out of the blue even though it may seem like it. There are many things that occur before this happens fully. How long it takes to reach your crown varies. Your kundalini energy doesn't typically awaken and then just rise once. It continues to flow. It can go through periods where it feels more active than others and rising several times. Keep in mind every path is unique to an extent and it's hard to fully sum up an experience like this. Helpful to mention it, but can be confusing since it's not explained in depth.
The key take away here is not to resist, simply trust, get moving, and take good, good care of your body. Yoga movement and breathing exercises helps if you're feeling it intensely. Observing where the energy feels stuck at any giving time can help direct you to the kinds of blocks you may wish to work through. The energy directs your attention to them. The best thing you can do to ease the process is tune in. You will become quite adept at what is needed in any given moment to create a smoother experience. And just because it may not be smooth at times, isn't necessarily that you are doing something wrong. Certain blocks can feel rather unpleasant - even these you can be a fully active participant in addressing and clearing them.
Also the spiritual awakening and kundalini awakening may be two different events, but usually present together or one shortly after the other helping you reach your higher states of consciousness and elevating your vibration. It is possible to have a spontaneous spiritual awakening but quite often KA and SA work together. One is clearing and purging and aligning the metaphysical subtle energy bodies (while dismantling the ego) and the other has to do with awakening fully to your spiritual self (consciousness becoming aware of itself). You may go through periods of awakening but if the blocks are present in the subtle bodies or there is any kind of resistance the kundalini energy will help clear that up. As always you (your higher self) holds the wisdom for what you need, how long this takes, and the path you're on. Trust. It can seem confusing or like something is wrong when others share their stages but there are many paths leading to the same thing. I hope this helps.

@@tanya4485Thanks ...I was wondering the same how come she is saying it takes only a few weeks to months for KA. Its been almost 6 months since my K has awakened but it is still in the lower chakras...I am sure it will take me a few years for it to reach the crown. Thanks for your detailed explanation.
My kundalini awakeing waa craaazyy!!! I had it when i met my twin!
Back to 2020 I had a spiritual awakening caused by a severe heartbreak... After 7 months something strange happened after the meeting of a nice guy whom I was talking to for one week. That night, while I was sleeping, I had a dream about him and then the dream turned out to made me feel: sudden burst of energy, trembling, seeing a white light, feeling like I was going to have a heart attack. During the whole process I was aware; then I woke up feeling the need to be near that guy. That was the starting of our love story.
I can't tell this to nobody and to this day I don't know if I had a kundalini awakening caused by him. Anyone who experienced something slightly similar to me?
It is twinflame kundalini awakening
Thank you for this explanation. I still don't know what happened? I was working late night and I got this tingling, full body sensation. And there was this popping and cracking all around me. And then there was this beautiful Love Light that came over my whole body. It was pure Love. Every cell in my body answered it. I cried when it left.
This video's mind-blowing! Kundalini energy is like cosmic tech, taking us to new heights. A wise guide's key on this journey!
Had a kundalini awakening at the height of pandemic in may 2020... The symptoms are still strong... But I'm hopeful.... sometimes the pain is just too much to bear
I 2 had a kundalini awakening in 2020, I have found yoga and meditation really helps with the awakening symptoms, Christina also has an angelic code meditation that really helps, good luck
Me too !!! ❤
Breathwork helped move the energy swirling in my core. It was painful. Now evertime I feel it stuck, breathwork keeps it moving!
That’s interesting. I had it the day lockdown for covid was declared. Of course, I had no clue what it was . But it wasn’t and isn’t too troubling for me .Try walking in nature . I do that every evening… walking in an area with running water , trees and fields . It really helps .
how far are you in your journey like which stage are you in rn?
I Thank you Young Lady for your channel and the Gifts you have provided for All
Thank you so much for being my guru during my spiritual awakening. Christina you are a gift to the world, lots of love ❤️
Yes she is. I don't know what I would have done if she wasn't around. Her teachings helped me understand and accept that what was happening to me was happening for my good. Love 💕 you Christina.
Thank you for explaining the difference! This means I had the spiritual awakening first in 2019, then the kundalini in 2020. I was just laying on the couch after smoking medical cannabis and I felt this weird feeling go straight up my spine! Then started the angel numbers, seeing auroras, knowing things, etc.
I had it all my third eye opened before I knew what was happening and then came the kundalini and kryas
I can not believe!!I just wanted to ask you last week about this..to explain the difference!!!Woooouuuu!!!!
You heared me❤
Same energy❤
Thank you for this! Been trying to understand these 2 things for awhile. Both mine where activated at about the same time after a divorce as well back in 2018 and probably still going through some of the spiritual awakening.
I felt the energy going up like yours,the light was unbelievable .
I had no idea what it was atall ,previously i spent 4 years suffering ,i spent 3 plus montnths in bliss after the kundalini rose .
My head was on fire .
Today, just when I sit to start the meditation my body already started to bounce side to side, back and forth. I had this situation months ago when I was meditating too but this time i COMPLETLY surrendered to this. I ended up standing up and bouncing in different sides, making a circles, walking while bouncing for like 35 minutes 😂 Even my head was "dancing". Its crazy how variables the movements and speed were. One time I was really slow, next time It was bouncing me so hard. I would still do this but im too tired, pls give me rest lol.
I am having a kundalini awakening and I didnt even know it. I remember I had first symptomps year ago, idk why it takes so long for me? Maybe because I stopped meditating for 5 months and was really in low vibrations all the time, but I came back to feeling good and to my spiritual interests now. RUclips kept showing me videos about kundalini all the time, I ignored it because I didnt know what it is. I watched one i didnt understand what it is and ignored it, but it kept giving me things about. I watched this video and I finally understand whats happening w me lol.
Sometimes Ivwonder about the stories I used to hear about the Holy Spirit. Tales of fire bringing intense healing throughout the body seem very interesting
As an ex-Catholic, I agree.👍🏻🔥
I am currently undergoing through a Kundalini Awakening as well as spiritual awakening and today my whole body started to burn from the inside and my whole body turned red. My head was red like a tomato but thankfully, I am already spiritually awakened to some degree so I intuitively knew immediately that it was my Kundalini Awakening and that I can accept and surrender to it, letting my emotions be where they are and not trying to force anything. I can imagine what a horrible experience it must be for people who went through this but didn't know what it was.
thank you, because of your videos, i knew i was experiencing a kundalini awakening
I already know this is gonna explain something about my current situations ✨
Carrying the energy of "already knowing" keeps you from the answers you're seeking
so much love for your Christina
Thanks for sharing with us 🙏
Your double snake meditation created an energetic sensation for me
Thank you for this explanation…: I’ve been going through a lot and this video seems to make it make sense.
I had a near death at 11, which was intensly beautiful and top down info was sent to me constantly. I had this idea that everyone could hear and see what I could, rudely awakened to learning no one could. Wild, no support I began to numb yet still receive insights.
In my 30's during an ayahuasca ceremony I had a spontaneous kundalini awakening, along with navigating spiritual awakening for many years this was intense.
Happy to see more info.
Would not recommend disrupting Ma (kundalini energy) or these silly awakening and activations that everyone claims to do - you may need support and this could also put you into spiritual crisis.
The process can be much longer even months or years, clearings can also be very intense.
Yep, had a spontaneous kundalini awakening in spring of 2020. I was in the middle of a spiritual awakening and no clue what was going on! After the bliss stage which lasted two weeks, all hell broke loose and I felt like I was going crazy. Never been so scared in my life. I wish we knew these things growing up.
How are you now?
@@ThesmartshokeenvlogsI’m getting better but still struggle with anxiety and depersonalization. It’s improved a lot but my nervous system needs more work. This journey heals all parts of you.
@@sourcehealing82 how are you manaing?What to do at this time?
well now i know i’m not crazy, i started my spiritual awakening a few months ago, my third eye wide open i accidentally looked someone in the eye and all of a sudden i was having spasms in my spine. kept happening to the point where it knocked me down and i couldn’t walk even though i kept trying. i’m super lost in what’s happening i’m glad i found this video
Can the kundalini happen multiple times? I've had it 3 times over the last 7 years. I came to your channel back then when i first woke up and I'm back during my 3rd one right now
I want to share something from my life. I went through multiple dark nights of the soul and it’s been about a 8 years since my initial kundalini activation long before spiritual awakening. About year ago I was practicing sexual gunfu of transmutation of sexual energy into spiritual force. 2 month in to the practice I had fully awaken my kundalini. It was reeealy painful on my physical body, too much heat, bad insomnia, no sleep for multiple month, until I learned how specific pranayamas help move the energy and help kundalini to pass through blockages. Yes kundalini moves as it wishes in any direction, but if we don’t help it with specific practice, it will stay stuck. It’s very important to meditate, move the energy consciously through the human microcosmic orbit, and when necessary clear past life karma. Only then the energy relaxes. Also really important to eat proper cooling food and workout
Thank you for sharing ❤
My spiritual awakening first and three months after my kundalini. My kundalini happened during a Tony Robbins event, the soonest Mr. Robbins came to the stage and began talking it all started. I didn’t know what was going on with but I kept me up all night.
My kundalini awakening, I seriously thought that everything that was being said to me, or everything I heard was some sort of a message to me, it drove me a little bit on the crazy side, my head especially around the top part of my head felt like it had a weight on it, then it would release, and then when it happened, I had a profound sense of total peace in my life, even though my life is out of control right now, I really don’t have no control over anything right now, but apparently I need to let a lot go. I do feel like I have a better understanding of things, the dreams I’ve had when I was young and comparing to the things happening to me now, makes sense, but I’ve went a lot years just living and surviving the best way I could, I do realize karma does play a part of life, but I didn’t realize it until now, just how relevant it is, and to boot, looking at other people’s problems I can almost recognize that karma exists in their lives too. I see quite a bit in our governments and groups of people, not just individuals.
I can relate.
@@Duane-z5lyeah I had to really keep my head on kinda straight, I was driving a tractor trailer picking up and making deliveries, I mean each customer I talked too, each street sign felt like it stood out to me, as just for me to pay attention too. I did keep my head in the game though, it actually felt like I was dreaming, yet my consciousness was speaking to me through my eyes and ears, without the inner voice that usually takes place. Most people do have an inner voice, obviously when they think 🤔 to themselves, I can imagine it could have been similar to that but my inner self was communicating with me on a whole different spectrum.
I too relate .. everything was suddenly changed one evening as I lay in bed.. I saw the universe as not separate to me, but one big mass of energy that I was a central figure of.. I too for weeks after believed everything was a message and sign aimed at me , it caused me great anxiety for months.. I worked hard to ground myself, I literally thought I was going crazy and paranoid..
Gradually I integrated the new found knowledge into my life, it took many months but it changed me for the better..
Thank you very much for the guidance and support 🙏
I feel like I’m somewhere in between a kundalini awakening and a spiritual awakening. Been experiencing spontaneous spasms or jerks during meditation for years. I’ve been focusing on chakra meditation and specifically kundalini type meditation this whole time so maybe it prepared my body and energy system to release kundalini gradually. I’ve pretty much set that as an intention since the beginning because I was scared of the full blown experience. Today I was doing some journaling and released some long suppressed emotions which caused me to start grimacing from the energy movement. I read that it’s one of the Kriya symptoms but had never experienced it before.
Yes, the "Pop" sensation, and accompaning rollercoaster ride ⚡🔥
I just had a spontaneous kundalini awakening a week ago... but am already in a spiritual awakening and meditate hours a day, so i can handle it. Though i did have a freak out this morning when it felt like electric ants were crawling all over and inside my body.
That was so informative!
Thank you Christina! 🙏🤍🙏
LOVE how you always show up when I need it. Now I believe I have a Kundalini awakening again. I had my first Kundalini awakening in 2013 when I saw and felt a bright golden light envelop me and lift me up to the celling basically 😂 it felt so warm and peaceful. Thank You Blessings 💜💫🌸🪷🌟
Bro 2023 is this year… literally say this year instead of “in2023” don’t be cringe
Sooo...yes to night sweats, yes to extreme fatigue (about 8 weeks now, but getting better), yes to feeling energy pulse through me (more curious about it than anything else, so not so bad), but getting dizzy? Vomiting? Terrible cramping just everywhere? And weirdest of all, I was about to sleep and I heard a band playing "I'll Fly Away"! I ended up singing with whomever that was, and it was a peaceful feeling. I was alone in my house. Not sure what time that was. I am calm about it, but is this what is happening? Then what? oh, forgot...I have been getting random visions of stuff that happened in my life, but was able to look at it from a different perspective, and this has been helpful. But I have also been seeing stuff from other times, and that is odd, but it also pointed me to a spot in my own life that I could take away and forgive others. That make sense, or am I just losing the plot?
I had a kundalini awakening after an Ayahuasca ceremony, felt like dying, I didn’t know anything about what was going on, thanks for sharing this information.
Thank you so much Christina!
Thank you for explaining this ❤
I had a spontaneous kundalini awakening after I met my twin flame.
It took me a long time to figure this out and even before this video I was a little fuzzy on what was what. I was unclear that I am in the midst of a spiritual awakening because I was waiting for the Kundalini part. Although I have felt very gentle Kryas moving my neck around a lot when I’m relaxed and laying down. I’ve also felt warmth moving up my spine. My third eye has done some crazy things but it hasn’t stuck around. I’m also going through a twin flame journey, so that’s what triggered the awakening. Thank you for the clarity! ❤
Ive had a kundalini awakening. Its been so powerful and ive been heavily spiritually attacked. Physically and mentally. My energy centres, as soon as i cleared my root chakra it was the energy flow that made me feel overwhelmed and i wasnt prepared enough. Its been scary and im confused. Its been so intense. My gifts were intense. I couldn't understand how i was 42% integrated in weeks!!! Ive had to shut down, as dealing with a negative entity. Which is taking time. Its been so disruptive. I can physically feel, the energy above my crown, as if my head feels like its being pulled!!! And the tingling. The only problems i have is lower mind. I still have lower mind going on. Protection is also so important.
I Laughed at that guy being hit by the truck 🤣
But that is what the impact is like!!
A part of me wishes that I had known this information before the spontaneous Kundalini awakening, I was so scared, I panicked, I had no idea what was happening to me or how I had made or triggered it to happen (if I at all did) and I am still learning about what happened to me.
I am baffled to this day, as I remember that the energy did not go to the top/out of my head but exploded at the heart chakra and I am still learning what this means and often wonder if I will experience it again but next time the energy going all the way.
I did not know what Kundalini was when it happened to me.
I had kundalini surge through my body last night while meditating with my guardian dragon ❤. It was intense and amazing and thank you for your videos to help me navigate what it was. I couldn’t move and I wasn’t sure what was happening so I thought I stopped it when I decided I’d had enough and began moving my body around and eventually disconnected. Now I’m thinking it had just run its course and I was able to move again.
Thank you so much ma'am. Lots of love to your concern 💖
I had a spontaneous kundalini awakening in 2021 and the feeling of circular involuntarily movement up my spine during meditation, felt like a nde experience and I went vegan and quit smoking involuntarily as well. Thanks to your videos and only yours I realized what it was
My perception of life even time changed and also colors were brighter , food tasted gross unless it was from the light and I felt a vibration at the time I didn’t realize was my own. All of this in one meditation and I felt the vibration for weeks because I wasn’t grounded.
Thank you! I was wondering what the difference is.
I’m in both now I believe… this was helpful. I’m glad the drastic changes I’m seeking are surely in my higher Good, but I also know they may seem nuts from outside 😂
Oh my, thank you so much for this. 🙏🏻
I had a Kundalini awakening one night i was just crying and bam i was shaking my whole body.
The energy feels like an intense G force ripping through your body. My involuntary movements went from am i having a seizure/am i about to turn into a werewolf/ is the top of my head going to burst; to slight involuntary movements, softer and more expanded feeling. I must have really had some blocks lol.
went through dark night of the soul/spiritual awakening for 2 1/2 years then had an ego death on a trail in the middle of nowhere, then went straight into a Kundalini awakening. Whole process has been 3 years now. Psychological, emotional and physical symptoms been weird for sure, severe at times, brutal at others. Feels now like the worst of the storm has passed, taking huge amounts of B1 vitamin has gotten me through the process, but still missing 3/4 of my hair which could not take the stress.
Wow. That’s quite a journey
omg are you losing hair as well? i believe I started losing it from both awakenings but couldn't find the information anywhwere
@@punx00kid omg yes!!! I’ve lost 2/3 of my luscious thick hair and it’s turned completely bright silver! I’ve tried so many remedies and it has slowed down but I’m losing sleep about it!
Yeah Iam in my spiritual Awakening Self-love self awareness self worthy ❤😊
thank you. this resonates a lot with me, and makes the confusion a little less thank you.
oh damn i realise how much i did intuitively right without, knowing what’s going on^^
I had my major spiritual awakening last year. And recently, I feel ungrounded and tired than ever. All I want to do it is stay in my house, even a walk feel exhausting. And at night, I feel this tingling and restless energy going up around my body. It’s like my body are vibrating. I do not know if this is just signs of spiritual awakening or it’s a kundalini awakening…..
Thank you for sharing, Christina. As I am watching this video, there is one question I have about my awakening that you didn't talk about. My awakening started after just only a few days(3 or 4 days) into my meditation. Now that you explained the difference between spiritual and kundalini awakening, I'm not sure if I had both. I do recognized that I had spiritual awakening for 8 years now. But my awakening started with a shower of white lights enveloped me during my deep meditation. I was in awed of what is happening to me, at the same time, I was thinking that if I am feeling scared, I can just stop my meditation and it will go away. As I was thinking of it, I decided to bathe in it for about maybe 30-45 seconds longer. A couple days after that, I felt fainted as if I came down with onset of a cancer disease. I had a moment of knowing that I was Irish in my past life. Then I thought about my all-time favorite movie, "Waking Ned Divine". My intestinal or immune system was messed up. When I explained it to a doctor, he was confused. I was also sweaty at night as if I had high blood pressure symptoms, but that stopped by itself after a few times. Since then, my body became sensitive to my many favorite foods. Today, I no longer have the same diet for food. My dark night of the soul is through the roof.
Unconscious feelings without development and investigation, experiences are not spiritual awakening. Because in spiritual awakening is going on much more than only some feelings. It is about knowing, understanding relations, contexts, etc.
I had a powerful energy hit me in one of my chakras, it impacted me in such a way that a lot of past karma came to the surface all at once. I had to surrender, and let it all go. I've been working on trying to connect to the divine through my mantras, and meditation. I say this because if the divine feminine hadn't directed me through my intuition, I don't think I would be here to type this. Hearing your story makes me feel grateful that my process seems to be much milder, the burning feels like the morning sun in comparison. I'll continue to foster this energy, meditate, and learn everything Shakti wishes to teach me. It's good to know one is not alone in this sort of thing. =)
thank you so much Christina. I was wondering what the hell was going on lol. Also coconut water is what i've been drinking for pure electrolytes!
Great video. Any suggestions for this quadriplegic to run again? I've been going through a spiritual awakening, for 3 years now all these weird things are happening but running again one day would be amazing
Read/watch how to heal yourself videos; talk to your body and ask it to show you or give you hints on what i needs to help you heal.
I have a feeling This is going to come in handy. Thank you. ❤🙏....Christina, do you think you can make a video on the differences and how to? tell them apart (menopausal symptoms vs. Kundalini awakening) after listening to this video I am not so sure that what I have been experiencing is menopause.
I was think the same thing. Hot flashes 😂
Good lord I am with you 😂. This video just appeared out of nowhere
I had both at once .its been a year and i still feel the energy my awakening was amazing and i can talk to god now i guess it was easy because he guided me
Omg a video of christina! 😍😊
having both through heart and brain. So crazy. Very alone. Feeling overwhelmed for sure.
OMG the heat! ☄️☄️🔥🧯🚒
I started intentionally working with kundalini soon after I began the last wave of awakening 3 years ago, and it was 10x easier than what you described here, but it's because I knew what to expect to some extent. Mine went from energy center to energy center digging up trauma from the feminine aspect - mostly it was psychological. The spontaneous movement I experienced was always tied to moving some energy that got lodged somewhere in the nervous or lymphatic system, & I always knew that's what was going on. I did go through a long period where I woke up sweating every night though. That side reached the crown a month or two ago.
Here's what I did differently: 1/31 I completed the 29.5 day melatonin cycle: avoid temptation from when the moon enters your sun sign to when it enters and leaves again, no booze, no sex--alone or with a partner, no excess or rage. This allows the pineal gland to drop melatonin (moon) to the sacrum where it experiences a chemical change, then the unused sexual energy rockets it through the energy centers and more chemical changes, up to the pituitary, which is then reconnected to the pineal and brings things like guidance back online. It's what creates the land of milk and honey inside the cave of brahma (pituitary makes an amber secretion, pineal makes a white one, mix the two and you ascend)
That began me clearing out the physically oriented trauma. That sucked, then I flipped masculine and have gotten all the way to the 3rd eye in basically a tenth the time, having been through it before.
Very interesting thanks for sharing
Oh, that's fascinating, thank you. I've been on hiatus for some time, feeling ready to get back on the mat. Your insightful comment will be fun experimenting with. 🙏
@@ggg44477 i know this is gonna sound like BS, but the sooner you confront the idea and release control the sooner you stop drowning. Holding onto past pain rather than confrontibg the cause literally will make you numb out. Some use alcohol to do it instead.
Neuropathy is a way the body (under your instruction) can stop feeling.
Fighting ascension though, is literally saying to your consciousness you dont want to release emotional pain. It comes up so you can choose to say "this is no longer me" and move on having dropped the weight, which makes you lighter, less dense with stuck energy. (En-light-ened)
The emotions basically get physically compressed into your nervous system (since all they are is raw energy, a thought, and your reaction to the thought) and create tension, the kundalini tries to break the stuff up like drain cleaner so that you end up being able to process everything more quickly and bring offline parts of the body back online, like self-healing via the root, heart, and crown chakras.
I promise if you allow it to do its thing it doesn't last. It's way more psychological than anything though and that's why it's easy to get paranoid about it.
Here's the only real solution I can give you, I had to come up from my version of the bottom too@@ggg44477 it fucking sucks, I do actually get it. Either way, you can assume it's crap or give it a shot.
It seems COMPLETEDLY ridiculous, especially when you're at a low point (I had to come back from a brain tumor and had no real guidance.) In any case I figured out that if you can lift your emotions even a little and hold them at a slightly more pleasant level, the world changes.
Experience is one single thing split into infinity, and so are you, so: any aspect of self you can feel better about naturally changes the way you see, think, imagine, and lifts your level of comprehension of your surroundings to match the new emotional reality.
BC like attracts like, the new emotional level calls your physical experience up to a higher level, bc the body is *always reacting to your thoughts and emotions, so you can make yourself sick real easy even without outside help.
If you consistently reach for a higher emotional state little by little your frequency lifts above the worst of the pain/sickness/injury etc and you stop perceiving it, it's now below your bandwidth of experience.
Basically it comes down to this: being in the universe, it knows you. It gives you more and more of what you concentrate on because this is a giant focus and exploration machine and a school of manifestation/energy manipulation. So if you train your focus on the things you love you get more love. If you focus on what's healthy you get more health, and as much of a horrific idea this is for someone in the thick of it, if you focus on the negative it will surround you and say "we're here with your uber to hell!"
It's truly obnoxious, but still true.
btw in case this is a thing for you: alcohol is a depressant. End of story. Even if you just switch to pot after a week it will feel like storm clouds dissipated.
You just explained what I'm going thru. I just couldn't understand this spinal pain, emotional bursting and exhaustion I've been feeling since spring.
Thank you! 3/4 months ago, I was suffering pain at the base of my spine in sacrum area while in meditation and I kept my awareness through pain as it is, and later on the pain was gone after 2 months. This could be it.
I felt burt of energy and also this happened when i met someone online ! We felt the burst of energy and the we both cried 2 days straight! The we also what felt like exchanged energy!! I could feel the energy left my body and received energy ! Then i we met in spirit realm and then i also heard my spirit family! What wil you say this is?
