The following are some common Kundalini
related experiences. Please know that having an experience listed
here does not necessarily mean that your Kundalini is awake. Many
of these experiences match medical symptoms, so we leave it to you
to be self-honest and discriminating. That said, if you feel
your experience may fit some of the things on this list, it may
be that your Kundalini is awakening. If so, the next step will be
to find out why this is happening and what to do about it.
