Why Kundalini Awakening Leaves You Stuck in Fight or Flight

September 18, 2026

Background

Guru Sanju explains why Kundalini awakening or activation can keep the body in fight-or-flight mode for a long time. She describes how the body may not recognize Kundalini in its activated form, creating fear, loss of familiar identity, compromised posture, chest breathing, shallow or restricted breathing, disturbed sleep, reduced hunger, fatigue, racing thoughts, anxiety, overwhelming feelings, and disconnection from life.

She teaches that Kundalini wants the individual to move beyond repetitive beliefs, conditioning, and a life centered only on the material world. Her first practical direction is to medically examine physical, hormonal, and neurological conditions and then consciously move from closed, frozen postures and environments into open spaces, nature, fresh air, sensory experience, and an open posture. She also explains the importance of diagnosing where Kundalini is stuck and moving it progressively and gently rather than aggressively.

Why Kundalini Activates Fight or Flight

Fight-or-flight mode activates in you the moment Kundalini awakens in you. Why? Because your body does not know Kundalini in its activated form.

You may take the form of a slouching position because the solar plexus is the nerve plexus that activates the fight-or-flight mode in you. When Kundalini activates in you, Kundalini can take you into a state of fear.

It takes you to a state where you cannot feel yourself as the identity or personality you have always known. Your brain perceives that someone alien within you is working in you.

You Knew the Body and Mind, but Not the Spirit

Until Kundalini awakens in you, you feel that you are the body and you are the mind, but you do not know the spirit inside. You do not know how the spirit is working.

When you move beyond this fight-or-flight state, you can come into thriving mode. This is what your life force wants. This is what your Kundalini wants.

Your Posture and Breathing Begin to Change

Your spine should be in an erect position when your Kundalini is working in you. But sudden Kundalini activation or Kundalini awakening affects your breathing, and you may go into chest breathing, shallow breathing, or restricted breathing.

If you are in fight-or-flight mode most of the time, your body posture becomes compromised. Your breathing becomes compromised, and when your breathing is compromised, your sleep is compromised, your hunger is compromised, and your life is compromised.

Where will you get the energy to live your life if you are not breathing well? If you remain in fight-or-flight mode for too long, you are actually compromising with life.

Kundalini Wants to Change Your Pattern of Living

This is what Kundalini wants to change. Kundalini wants to change this pattern of living the same life for lives.

Why has Kundalini awakened in you, and why are you in fight-or-flight mode? First of all, you need to know that you have given too much importance to the material world and the matter around you.

This is not only about you. It is about human beings who have compromised on life.

Repeating the Same Life Through Beliefs and Conditioning

In each birth, you take birth and follow the same beliefs and conditioning. You go through education or complete professional degrees, then you go through the process of getting married, giving birth to children, and then dying one day.

This has been repeated for years, for lives. Now Kundalini is fed up with all of this nonsense happening in the human world due to lower consciousness.

Fight or Flight Keeps Your Life on Hold

If you are going through all of these symptoms, fight-or-flight mode keeps your life stuck and on hold. You cannot rest well. You cannot sleep well.

You may become too addicted to substance abuse or other kinds of addictions. You may be taking pills after pills and still not getting well because the fight-or-flight mode you are experiencing cannot be resolved through medications or anything else that is actually not working on you.

You have to check yourself. How long can you suffer? How long can you live life like this? How long can you remain on hold and in a position of stuckness for years?

Take the First Action to Come Out of Hold Mode

Now you have to take action. You have to take the first action to come out of the hold mode.

If Kundalini has awakened in you and you are going through depressive tendencies, fearful tendencies, anxiety, an inability to feel life well, disconnection from the world, racing thoughts, overwhelming feelings, or even triggers of suicidal tendencies, observe what is happening within you. When you are experiencing all of this, this means that you are moving towards death and there is no life in you.

When you observe these symptoms in yourself, you come to know that there has to be a solution. For that solution, you have to work on yourself and take action.

Come Out of Freeze Mode and Into Open Space

The first action you can take is to come out into open space and come out of freeze mode. Let your body, brain, and nervous system experience that there is so much space around you.

Do not remain stuck in the city or inside a room with closed air. Come out into open space, fresh air, the freshness of nature, and the smell of nature.

Make Use of All Five Senses

Make use of all your five senses. When you come out into nature, look at the trees, the colors of the plants, and the color of the sky.

Sometimes it is sunny, sometimes it is raining, and sometimes the wind is blowing. Feel that wind on your body. It is all about feeling life as it is, without complaining about whether it is sunny, raining, or windy.

Feel through your five senses. When you engage your five senses, you can feel that some shift has happened within you because you are no longer in the closed space.

Notice How Nature Changes Your Body

When you come out into open space, automatically you begin looking upward. Inside a room, you may almost always remain in a position of looking down.

When you come out into nature, your body automatically shifts. Your spinal curve is maintained, you look up, and your instinctive brain is activated.

You Need Strength and Willpower to Take Action

All of these actions require a certain kind of willpower and a certain kind of strength in the body. If you are fatigued all the time, or if you are experiencing problems connected with Kundalini activation, including fatigue and fibromyalgia-like symptoms, first take yourself through a diagnosis process with medical practitioners.

First of all, go through the process of medically examining yourself. Check whether there are hormonal changes in your body or neurological issues in your body.

When you go through all of these issues, you will find a way to take the next action. The next action is to observe yourself and decide whether you want to live life in the same kind of stuckness and fight-or-flight mode, or whether you want to come out of it and thrive in this new world.

Kundalini Wants to Live Life Through You

Kundalini wants to live life through you. She is going through the evolution of your soul.

If you want to live that life and come out of fight-or-flight mode, then you have to come into an open position. You have to open your posture, open your chest, feel, live, and let life thrive in you.

Diagnose Where Your Kundalini Is Stuck

All of this is possible if you first get yourself diagnosed to understand where your Kundalini is stuck. It may be stuck in the solar plexus area, the heart chakra, or another energy center.

If you feel that after this opening you will start living your life, then it is true. For the first diagnosis, you need to book my consultation, where you will first get your Kundalini diagnosed.

Then I will move your Kundalini in a progressive, gentle way and not in an aggressive way.

Physical Work for Grounding Kundalini

If you want to be physically diagnosed and want me to physically work on you toward the grounding aspects that you have not been able to do on your own, then you can also take my physical projects. You can contact my team for the details.

Do not remain in stuck mode anymore. Thrive, come out into nature, and enjoy life.

Thank you.
