Kundalini Up-spikes

Kundalini rose with spikes from the spinal column. Subsequently it did not reach into the brain but stayed below the neck.
Kundalini is usually advertised in India as rising through the central subtle spinal passage which is called sushumna nadi. On the left side of that channel there is the ida track and on the right side there is the Pingala track.
However besides these there are many more channels or nadis, which are tiny subtle tubes. These are usually blocked so that subtle energy cannot course through them. Success in kundalini yoga means opening these tracks to allow energy to flow through them continuously.
In the beginning years of doing kundalini yoga, one has to remain focused on getting kundalini to come up the central channel into the brain. This takes some effort of daily practice. Once this is achieved, one can then divest out the energy through the entire psyche.
When kundalini rose this morning, at first it hesitated to move because it was considering that it would have to spike out instead of moving as usual upwards. Kundalini is life force so it appears to have intelligence and to make decisions one way or the other.
After that initial hesitation, kundalini rose promptly and spiked as per the diagram below.

Dean's question:
During my pranayama session this morning, kundalini rose twice, the first time it rose into the head and I temporarily lost control of the physical body for a few seconds but did not lose total consciousness, and the second time it rose into the neck/lower jaw region. On both occurrences when kundalini rose up the middle of the body it was delayed or hesitated which is why I lost control of the body the first time kundalini rose. I felt that the hesitation might be due to not directing enough force into the pelvic region to flush it out from hiding. What are your thoughts on why kundalini hesitated?

MiBeloved’s Response:
Your conclusion that kundalini delayed because of insufficient force built up in the pelvic area is correct in this case. That is not always the situation but it is frequently the most common reason for the delay.
Initially a yogi is fooled by this delay and loses vigilance and thus when kundalini moves, he is caught off guard.
Usually we write that the yogi will lose control of the body, just as you said, when kundalini rises into the head suddenly without warning. Actually this is totally untrue because in fact, none of us have absolute control of the body. It is kundalini which has control of the body. We just get a little say in this or that circumstance. Mostly kundalini is taking care of the body and we are pretend-bosses.
The reason why the yogi loses control is this:
Kundalini strikes the analytical orb when it is off-guard and since that orb is the touch point between the core-self and objective consciousness at this time, the core-self also loses contact. The way the psyche is wired, the core-self is more like an accessory rather than being the major component, but it is the major power-supply of the psyche.
Perhaps the person who knows this more than anyone else on the forum is Sir Paul, because he did extensive research in meditation on this.
It is the analytical orb which has to be protected from the striking of kundalini when it comes into the head. If it hits the orb from behind, then the orb will lose its contact with the body and the self will in turn seem to lose control even though what happens is that the orb has lost contact. It is like a system of an electric circuit. If you cut a wire to one part of the circuit, power will no longer go to that part, and all components which are wire-routed through that part will lose their function in reference to the system and will not participate in the system.
The question which arises here is this:
Why does the core-self not maintain its objectivity even when the kundalini strikes and stuns the analytical orb?
What is the dependence of the core-self on the orb?
Also why is kundalini able to knock out the orb on occasion when the orb is hit from behind by kundalini?
These are the questions which face a yogi. Each yogi has to sort these out.
One thing is certain that the delay of kundalini is usually based on a lack of sufficient energy during the breath infusion. And the yogi has to begin to see what this is all about?
In the case of the material world, we find that everyone knows their address, their town or city, the residences of their family and friends. But hardly anyone knows anything about kundalini, the analytical orb, their locations and their relationship to the core-self.
