Why I have written this article today is because 6 years ago, literally to the day, I experienced something that I have never encountered before in my life's journey. The memory of which will never dim throughout my entire Earthly voyage, the feeling of which remains as vivid with me today as it did then.
I was in Es Capdella, Majorca in the foothills of the Tramantana range waiting to start a Transformation Course run by Neil Crofts the next day. As my fellow students began to arrive, there was a mood of abundance in the atmosphere around where I was staying. Animal, bird and plant life was plentiful there with many butterflies around too. I started to strike up a conversation with one of my course mates when she inquired into the spiritual nature of all things, stating that she had never truly engaged with the concept of a higher power at work, throughout her life's journey, due to the largely patriarchal figure it was often cast as within organized religion.
I began to speak of my reasoning behind our life's purpose. That when we truly start to discover what this is through our innate talents, greatest passions and all the things we want to see changed in the world, we can really focus our efforts on working for the greater good of the Universe as a whole, without any need to label anything.
With this statement of working for the greater good came a sudden rush of energy, a hot, tingling sensation, that started to percolate away from the base of my spine and rise upwards through my shoulder blades, neck and up to the top of my skull before seemingly dispersing. I felt true connection with what I was saying, the person I was conversing with and the greater whole I was a part of.
That night lying in bed I began to wonder upon the experience I had encountered that afternoon. Not ever having meditated before, I started to take deep breaths in and out whilst thinking about what had happened to me in that conversation. Before I knew it waves upon waves of tingling sensations and heat started to emit throughout my body and I gradually became more and more aroused without doing anything to provoke it, bar open up to spirit and all that was around me.
The next half an hour to an hour is best described as encountering a full body orgasm, this is the only term that comes any where near what it felt like to experience. Other scholars too describe this moment as if we are having sex with Eros, copulating with spirit. Until you experience it, you may struggle to grasp what I mean but when you do, wow, you will know what is all about. It was a feeling I never wanted to end but eventually, inevitably it did.
In the 72 months since my initial kundalini awakening, which is what this experience ultimately was, this life force or divine energy has returned to me on occasion when I have truly connected with a life coaching client, holding a space for that person and allowing the healing to begin. It has also come to me when I have stumbled across a fellow kindred spirit upon my adventure and when first presenting my book to a publisher that initially saw the potential within my writing.
Sometimes the sensations come as they did in the first instance running up my spine from the small of my back to the top of my head, other times the energy only comes part way up, or emits from only one chakra. At other times it just feels as if something is caressing my skull. All experiences reassure me that I am on the right track with my life and doing what is required, however difficult it continues to be at times.
I believe experiencing this shift in consciousness has prompted me to start my own life, business and leadership coaching business, write about my transformation to date, engage in the environmental movement and help set up a Transition Town initiative, as well as train to become a sailing instructor and teach sailing. It has also caused me to go on somewhat of a karmic journey too, visiting and revisiting certain scenarios in my life and relationships to bring healing to the situation so I have been able to evolve beyond them, cleansed and free to carry on with my life.
The kundalini energy is quite a force to embed within ones own being, and when it arrives unannounced, as it did with me, it can create quite a shock to the system for one who is unprepared, triggering all sorts of emotions within an individual. Necessary emotions that need to be felt to their full depth to create the catalyst required for full transformation to a new state of being. After all it is ultimately a helpful benevolent force.
The extent to which kundalini energy can have an affect on us is too much to write about in one particular article especially as I myself have only come to know of this phenomena and put a name to what I experienced in the past couple of weeks.
It has already changed the way I have viewed my recent journey, it maybe the reason why my book hasn't as yet found a publisher, as I may well have needed to incorporate this new information into my writing. It also explains a great deal of what I am feeling now and what has been perhaps seemingly ailing me for weeks if not months. For the presence of kundalini I believe causes no end of mis-diagnosed conditions withn us as human beings, without true knowledge of what has been going on inside of us. Something I might alight to further in future weeks as I discover more about my own spiritual awakening.
If you have experienced similar please do not hesitate to get in
contact with me and lets talk a great deal more about what we have encountered. Until next time. Sx.
