A powerful energetic force moving through the body, often involuntarily
Physical and energetic sensations described as a powerful force or current moving through the body, particularly up the spine, often experienced as heat, pressure, electricity, or vibration. Many accounts described these sensations as involuntary or overwhelming.
The higher number includes anyone who described energetic phenomena; the lower number counts those who described them specifically and clearly as a distinct, forceful somatic experience in their own words.
At age 23 I have a profound Kundalini Awakening which involved massive explosion of energy of prana of this Shakti from the base of my spine all the way up to the top of my head and out — there was experience of unconditional love of Oneness with everything.
It felt like from deep deep deep within the core of the planet mama gaia came right up through my tailbone through the perineum and all the way up my spine like a rocket ship — and i just my whole body flooded with so much heat and so much energy.
Boom, Kundalini just woke up into my spine. It was like this electric orgasmic pulsating energy that started going voom like a night rider light.
Kundalini is consciousness, and Kundalini awakening is the force flow of consciousness through the body.
