Everything about this woman is beautiful. I love her haircut and the color of her hair. Her skin is glowing. She has beautiful expressive hands and lovely jewelry. Her blouse is so clean and perfect and feminine. The colors in the room are just perfect all warm complimentary colors. The wrought iron balcony is amazing and you look out to the greenery beyond. Usually I don't look at people's appearances in that way. And I absolutely love what she's talking about and I've been through a lot of those things. I had an awakening when I was 40 that lasted about 10 years and it was amazing. And when it finally lessened everything became extremely mundane it was like being cast down from heaven, which makes me remember the story about Lucifer being cast down. Now just talking about it suddenlyI think I understand that. Anyway enough from me
@With Goddess - if you are interested in learning strategies to get your kundalini back.... Check out my #WellbeingPhilosophy channel and reach out. I've developed a formula over the last 18 months that is rather reliable. But the start point is entirely personal.
I love Dr. Woolacott's natural, effusive enthusiasm/interest in her research & research subjects. She is extremely informative, instructive (obviously highly intelligent)...and very well spoken. Her enthusiasm is contagious.
I had a kundalini awakening culminating in an out of body experience in 1997. At the time I was a staunch atheist but knew that I had communed with God. People around me wanted me to get psychiatric help b/c of the mania. Thank God I did not. Instead I found The Stormy Search For Self by Dr. Stanislav Grof which really helped me to figure out what was happening.
Thank you for sharibg i will look into stormy search for self!. I guess i am already in the process but i just thought i am going insane with situations in life and inner battles..
I just started meditating everyday and after about 3 years is when my Kundalini awakening started. And I have literally been able to feel the layers of density falling off of me gradually. My breath seems to be the mechanism by which is able to cut off each layer. My concious breath
interesting.. i have been meditating since february, so roughly a bit longer than half a year, initially i had weird energetic experiences (but no full blown "kundalini" awakening) and ever since then, nothing...
Thank you Mr. Mishlove, I appreciate your channel so much. You and your beautiful guests help to understand so much and give me great confirmation about what I experience. Especially this kundalini topic is very helpful for me. Thank you so much and much love from Germany.
if you want to have an awakening and your ready for it simply ask your self these questionS and dont stop asking until you get the answer WHAT AM I? WHO AM I?
I had a kundalini-chakratic experience. I didn't know what kundalini/chakras were at the time. The top of my head seemed to open up and a tremendous flowing, sparkling, pulsing/vibrating stream of LIGHT in the very center of my head appeared...not visually, not that I saw...I could FEEL it...I WAS the Light. It pulsed/vibrated faster and faster until it like...fused together...and was continuous....TOTAL ECSTACY. After a while the top of my head seemed to close back up and the light in the center of my head stopped pulsing/vibrating and shining so brightly...it dimmed but it still continued to glow very intensely...and it has remained like that ever since.
@Myth Tree That's an interesting reaction, though I couldn't disagree more. I find it mysterious and enigmatic, which reflects many of the topics in this series, and its perennial message to not demonize but accept and integrate the experience. This challenge, then, is well represented by the intro.
A very impressive person. You can tell she's highly intelligent but humble and grounded. She seems happy and seems very passionate about what she does. Please do more interviews with Dr. Woollacott.
I thought that comment about people who've had depression for years then come out of it with a stillness is very true.That sounds like me. This whole talk was most interesting, thank you.
Please continue to explore this topic. I am not prone to hysteria or to suggestion but I was listening while lying down and during the entire interview my body was vibrating. I had my eyes closed and a tiger's face appeared before my eyes that moved continuously. I believe I was hallucinating. But what brought this on? It was a pleasant experience. I was not afraid and deliberately stayed calm so excitement would not drive it away. When I meditate I will try to connect with this energy again. It was beautiful.
When u woke up, all the electronics in our house broke including the lightbulb s in my main rooms., Even the expensive tv. I thought I was a "slider" now I know it's electro magnetic in nature.
Dr. Mishlove, would your wife mind if you interviewed her about her experience? And what the guru did etc.. I’d love to hear her story. My experience was quite violent and didn’t know anything about these things then. In my case tech equiptment and I cope very well, some people even call it a golden finger as everything seems to start working when touching it.
Another piece is the "kundalini granthis" if you search for it that can prevent the rise of kundalini through the sushumna nadi. Hope this helps someone....
The more data you collect, the further you veer away from the experience. The experience is the only thing that matters. There are already practices that are not in the form of what you'd consider modern psychotherapy (ie the doctor and the patient confessional format) that achieve this awakening of potential. It's difficult for people to look beyond what they are used to seeing culturally to see that the answer isn't something buried in the past, but something that was there all along - and still is here today. When cultural expectations (the ego-perception, cynicism) is dropped, things become very clear.
With ya until the last sentence. The on/off switch is physiological, not a mental process. The body must be optimized electrically in a very basic way, so that no wires are crimped & the entire system can carry the wattage & amplitude of the kundalini gear of consciousness.
I think the reason it isn't mapable with conventional science is that it just has not been done. There are, I believe, methods that can be used to analyze heat and energy signatures which could be combined with analysis of electrical activity in the spine and brain, and psychological experience to create a map of the experience in a scientific way. A medical community trained in this absolutely would be beneficial
Mine started on 3/21/2019 on the equinox. It feels like it could release any day now. I also get this feeling that there are quite a few of us going through this and we are reaching like a climax point where we will all wake up at the same time and then we are the catalyst for this planetary awakening
I get the feeling that it's easy to fixate on spiritual experiences and make them a part of ones identity. Experiencing overwhelming bliss, having paranormal experiences, ESP and feeling like God is flowing trough you might stroke ones ego pretty damn hard. One the other hand some traditions seem to completely dismiss this if it happens. I'm not sure...
Going through a Kundalini awakening right now. I have spontaneous kriyas, movements and mudras. I'm trying to find someone who can help me now. I really enjoy the process.
Expand the definition of "matter." The arrival of a new materialist ontology with a more differentiated mapping and cartography will do a lot to move both practice and theory further.
I agree. But I think it does also depend on how much we resist or suppress the process, and that may or may not relate to the external environment we find ourselves in. It can be difficult to have equanimity towards painful tension in the body that often results from Kundalini awakening. Also 7-8 years may be true for some, but by no means all. I've been experiencing the push of Kundalini in my system for over 20 years now.
@@aniccadance13 I'm still working with it. For me it varies between uncomfortable tension and orgasmic pleasure in different chakras throughout the day. Meditation generally excites it, but on the other hand it feels like there is a progression as it works its way through the body. I think the key is to learn to hold the sensations in awareness with a loving presence. This is not easy but it is what spiritual work is all about. Use that as the measure of how you are progressing. The attitude of desperately wanting it to go away is a big part of what needs to be released. I'd recommend Craig Holliday's RUclips channel. I'm happy to discuss any aspect of Kundalini further if you like.
Anna Claire Mauney, in an article for Art &Object, states that the Caduceus (the staff of Hermes) has been wrongly used as a medical symbol for the last 150 years, having been confused with the Rod of Asclepius ( a single snake ) a visually similar symbol belonging to the god of healing and medicine. The Caduceus and Hermes, being associated with communication, negotiation, trade, commerce and deceitfulness and theft, given the 'persuasiveness often associated with rhetorical practice'. This misuse is blamed by her on the U.S.Army applying it to the chevrons of their hospital stewards in the 1850's.
What utter nonsense. Next time you have a toothache or a kidney stone don't call a doctor, have a shaman mystic shake a few feathers at you and sell you some crystals. See how that works out.
One of the reasons neuroscience and mainstream psychology, social work or criminology professionals roll their eyes is because time and time again they are confronted by individuals who claim to be spiritual, achieve certain level of enlightenment, altruism etc. yet their behaviour does not match these self-beliefs. They behave as typically as any other self interest driven person, or even worse. I personally know of people who get these ideas of themselves and meanwhile their partners have to apply for domestic violence orders against them because in reality they are controlling and abusing. What this shows is that subjective beliefs do not match objective observations. A bit like cult leaders. The proof is in the pudding not personal wanting.
Yes. There is a big difference between God realisation - which is an experience or insight one may have as a result of spiritual practice or psychedelics, and the embodiment of that realisation, which is bringing that insight into daily life. The latter is where the work begins, cleaning up your act to bring your human consciousness into alignment with your spiritual insight or understanding.
@romain reuter My interpretation of his cryptic comment is this: kundalini is integrally related to 'sex energy' and in order to make it optimally rise through the sushumna nadi to the sahasrara chakra then it requires the sublimation/transmutation of the sexual urge. I am guessing that if I'm right so far then he's implying some kind of new world order/illuminati conspiracy type agenda to keep everyone 'unenlightened' by having us all jerk off to porn instead of focusing on spiritual stuff. [Insert spooky X-Files music here.]
The snake is not always seen as bad/evil in Western traditions. Moses/Aaron's rod/staff turned into a snake before the Pharaoh, whose sorcerers could also turn their rods/staffs into snakes. OTOH, I'm not sure a Middle Easter tradition is Western.
Energy is just a convenient label for a subjective experience. It isn't meant to be taken literally or equated with any scientific definition of energy. Kundalini produces a variety of sensations often with a vibratory / buzzy quality and some of them do indeed feel like electricity coursing through the body. Some feel orgasmic, some feel hot, some feel painful and full of tension.
On reflection I think there are two parts to this. One part is how Kundalini feels (subjective), and the other is what Kundalini actually is (objective), and how the term energy applies in both of these domains. For me what is felt in the body alternates between pain / tension (unconscious resistance to the flow of Kundalini) and bliss / orgasmic *energy* (when it is less impeded and I feel more open). These are subjective sensory / emotional experiences, felt in the body. In this realm, energy refers to a feeling. Then there is the true nature of Kundalini itself and whether it is energetic in and of itself. I'm not sure the rational egoic mind can fully understand the true nature of Kundalini. Awakened spiritual teachers explain that it arises from the Absolute, a domain which can only be experienced when the ego is fully surrendered (I've not experienced that as far as I'm aware). It is also said to be an evolutionary energy - God waking up in us as us. I suspect they are using the word energy metaphorically, although it is possible they mean it literally. Perhaps they have the direct insight that everything is energy. Having said all that, I do think it can affect other people - for example when I am experiencing strong Kundalini pressure & movements in my body at night, my partner often seems to have insomnia. And then of course there is Shaktipat where an awakened teacher/guru is able to stir Kundalini out of dormancy in the student. Whether this transmission happens at a physical level or at a more subtle level of manifestation I don't know. I tend to think it is happening via the unseen realm, but science may discover something more physical as paradigms shift. Maybe the unseen realm will be integrated into our understanding of the physical world, and the distinction will be moot.
@@deanwalker2456 the word physical can be confused with the word mass also since physicists tell us that physical objects have very little mass and are mostly energy and space. To me, the word "physical"refers to energy.
But what IS a kundalini awakening? How can you describe it other than intense connection? I found with my meditation I had a "connection" with others but not in a way that I could actually communicate with them -- I became isolated when I did my kundalini meditation. But I'd love to see more about the gradual or expeditious rise of energy and what it means because that is where you have a difference between awakening and psychosis.
I'm going through a Kundalini awakening now and I'm almost done with it. It has been intense as hell at times to be honest but if you want to know more from my experience let me know
These are vey poor and unenlightened discussions . Any body who thinks that their individual Kundalini has awakened has no clue about the subject. Firstly there are no individuals. Secondly there is only consciousness , there are no individuals experiencing consciousness.Kundalini is just another concept arising in consciousness. Consciousness is not divided into levels or experiences of difference. Hopeless people who know nothing about reality at all.
@Myth Tree Lol. Totally agree - seems like a confusion between the relative and absolute perspectives of reality. Both are valid perspectives, and it stunts our evolution to be stuck in one or the other. We are individuals and we are the one consciousness experiencing it all.

Why is this talked about as an energetic phenomena? That it is energetic in nature is an assumption. Maybe it is a non-energetic phenomena.
Energy is just a convenient label for a subjective experience. It isn't meant to be taken literally or equated with any scientific definition of energy. Kundalini produces a variety of sensations often with a vibratory / buzzy quality and some of them do indeed feel like electricity coursing through the body. Some feel orgasmic, some feel hot, some feel painful and full of tension.
