I started meditating and within 4 months I felt this energy go up my spine and felt cool air and saw all these lights. I figured my 3rd eye opened because I had an intense headache for a couple days and my crown was tingling then I saw a shadow being. Why when I tell some people this they act different like its special or the holy grail. What does it really mean when Kundalini activates?
MiBeloved’s Response:
Energy up the spine that is like cool air, with lights, is kundalini. Rising of kundalini can cause headaches but usually these will occur immediately after. One can have black-outs or gold-outs. Black out means that you have a blank and when you are again objectively aware you have no recall of anything. There is a complete blank.
Gold-out means that the bliss energy produced when kundalini rises into the head is felt by you as spiritual frosty energy as a golden light shimmering in all directions. When this happens you will return to normal awareness with a distinct and clear memory of what happened and you will find your body in whatever position it was in when it occurred, provided the body was lying down. If the body was standing or sitting it would have fallen or leaned downward and you will find yourself awake in the body in that condition, sometimes with or without a headache.
Meaning of kundalini being activated:
This varies from person to person. There is a no hard and fast rule for this. For instance someone who has no interest in spiritual cultivation may experience kundalini rising. Another person who has such an interest may experience it also. But know one thing for sure that the same kundalini rises when you get goose bumps due to a disaster, an emergency or some such thing. The same kundalini is experienced again and again as sexual climax, except then it fires itself through the genitals mostly. But even in sex climax experience, it fires up the spine and into the brain, into the lips, into the finger tips and toe tips, into the breasts etc.
For a yogi rising of kundalini is important because that allows higher perception and also curbing of kundalini from its primordial animal instincts.
Yogis who are versed in the locks do not have headaches, because the locks restrict and guide the passage of the aroused kundalini.
There is anus lock, perineum-urinary muscle lock, stomach lock, neck lock, and mind lock at third eye.
These are the basic one but they are others.
Usually these locks are applied during breath infusion practice, especially after breath is infused in certain postures. But when a yogi sits to meditate he may or may not be using any locks.
