The First Sensation: High Voltage in the Body
Kundalini awakening and electric shocks. If you are going through spiritual awakening or Kundalini awakening, you must be experiencing different kinds of electric shocks in your body. You feel, sometimes, that high voltage of electricity is running in your body, and it is giving different kinds of electric-shock sensations.
At first you get the electric shocks, and you are fearful about what has happened to you. You may feel that these are symptoms of neuropathy and there is some problem with your nervous system, or it could be an imaginary electric shock. You first deny the existence of electric shocks, and if it is happening in front of other people for the first time or regularly, you feel guilty about having such shocks.
The very first response that you get when you are experiencing such electric shock is fear and confusion. You feel that there is some problem with your mind. If you are not knowing about Kundalini, you believe there is some problem going on in your nervous system, and then you start going to different doctors, different therapists, and doing different kinds of diagnosis to find out why you are experiencing these electric shocks.
The electric shocks that you experience are invisible in nature, and nothing is diagnosed through medical science or through any other ways available in the world.
Why the Shocks Happen
You need to know the reason behind these electric shocks: why you experience them, what the relevance is, and how you can ground them.
You need to know that Kundalini is a high-voltage cosmic electricity, and when you are going through Kundalini awakening and Kundalini herself—the electricity of high voltage—flows through your energy channels. When it flows through your energy channels, your nervous system, which corresponds to your energy channels in the subtle body, perceives these energies as something alien, or the intensity—the voltage—of energy running in the channels is so high that your nervous system gives you electric shock. It responds in a volatile manner.
There is nothing to fear about Kundalini, because it is pure, divine, cosmic electricity flowing in your energy channels, and it is working to purify your energy channels, your chakras, and your subtle body, and to free you from all the karmas that are lying in your body.
But this fact is not known to your brain and your nervous system. Your brain is unaware of the fact that Kundalini exists. Kundalini has been existing in the human body since the evolution, but not of this intensity. It has been existing in the form of mild bio-electricity—in the form of prana—but not in such high intensity and voltage.
Understanding Is Healing: Educate the Brain
So understanding is healing. In the first step, you need to educate your brain about the existence of Kundalini. Once understanding comes—once the brain understands that this is safe—you have to tell your brain; you have to converse with your brain about the existence of Kundalini. Speak to your brain: do not worry; this is transformation happening in the subtle body, and you are safe. You do not need to worry. You cannot reverse this electric shock.
The first myth is cleared now: if you feel that after the process of Kundalini completion—your enlightenment—these shocks will go away, then let it be told clearly: they will never go away.
Even after your enlightenment, Kundalini is going to exist, and she works on you to transform you continuously throughout your life. You will be living a free life after freedom only when you are doing the spiritual practices and the instinctive functions to keep your brain and nervous system in a good, healthy condition. But if you abuse your body—by eating unhealthily, by doing something which is not meaningful to you, by not following the guidance of the Guru—then you are going to suffer.
Because if these electric shocks continue and you are not adopting the sattvic lifestyle of the yogi, then you are going to suffer from Kundalini psychosis issues that lead to brain damage and nervous-system disorder.
When Health Conditions Are Present
Even now, if you are experiencing symptoms of brain-health-related issues like schizophrenia, bipolar, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, dementia, or Parkinson’s disease; if split personality happens due to bipolar; if fibromyalgia issues, chronic fatigue syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic constipation, chronic pain, and chronic fatigue are your daily experience in life—and during this entire process you get different kinds of “creatures,” different kinds of electric shocks, and your brain goes into freeze mode—remember your brain wants to protect your body. Your brain wants to protect you from all the negative symptoms of these electric shocks.
Why Grounding Becomes Necessary
That is why grounding is necessary. These electric shocks create inflammation in the body, because your nervous system is designed in such a way that whenever it detects some foreign element working in your system, the body’s cells move to protect you, and that is why heat increases in the body. That leads to chronic inflammation, and chronic inflammation leads to different kinds of diseases and conditions related to brain health and mental health.
Therefore, an extreme level of work on your lifestyle is important. You have to change your lifestyle from unconscious living to conscious living. You have to learn to live instinctively, primitively—going back to the roots, going back to grounding activities. Practice grounding yourself in nature. Practice grounding yourself with animals. Do those activities. Love yourself. Love your life.
The Mechanism: Blockages, Resistance, and Friction
These electric shocks create havoc in your nervous system. They come suddenly—that is why these are shocks—and you do not even know when they will happen. But you need to know the reason behind them.
The reason is this: Kundalini is opening the energy channels and clearing blockages. The blockages are due to accumulation of karma and negative energies—the toxicity—in your energy channels. Like creating a tunnel through a huge rock in a mountain, Kundalini cleans, burns, and removes toxicity in the form of dense energy.
Those dense energies are like huge rocks in the tunnel. Kundalini uses her force to clear those rocks like big boulders with dynamite. Dynamite is used to break rocks into pieces. Kundalini uses her full force, increasing the voltage of energy to break these barriers. When it is difficult for Kundalini to break the barriers, huge resistance comes from negative forces—ego, mind, memory, and the vasanas (desire tendencies); lower energies of fear, resistance, insecurity, greed, jealousy, anger—all teaming together like boulders. Kundalini pushes energy to break through.
But resistance causes huge friction. Friction generates a kind of vibration that is highly electrified in nature, and that electricity—that vibration—is perceived by your nervous system as a huge shock. These shocks can be felt in different parts of your body, throughout your spinal cord, throughout your body, throughout your blood vessels. You may feel tingling sensations—sometimes too much in the head. This means the work of Kundalini is happening in the head region, and the ego in the head region is resisting it.
The Path of Clearing: Not Linear, but Intelligent
Step by step, Kundalini clears her journey, but it is not in order. Kundalini goes up through the sushumna toward the crown chakra, then goes back to other chakras, clears the garbage there, and then comes back again. It is in a haphazard manner. It is based on Kundalini intelligence which blockage will be cleared. Sometimes you will feel an extreme amount of heat in different chakras in the body. Sometimes your body heats up.
Your temperature becomes feverish: too much work is going on; too many blockages are being removed. There is a huge volume of work, and lots of high-voltage electricity is used by Kundalini—herself raising the energy to break these barriers—so that you become free from past-life carry-forward of toxicity, karmas, demons, and negative energies. You do not need to carry them forward. These are like demons Kundalini kills, like huge boulders she removes—actual toxicity that keeps your system in darkness. When this darkness is removed by Kundalini, you become free. You see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Your entire system is like a pipeline of water. When there are blockages, and you want the water—the cosmic, divine electricity—to flow, then it needs to be cleared of all garbage, all demonic forces, all negative energies, all blockages. Kundalini processes this through different layers of cleansing.
The Five Elemental Modes and What to Do
When Kundalini Works Through Water (Cooling Mode)
Sometimes Kundalini plays the role of the water element to clean your system. When the water element is more prominent, she transforms her nature to do the cleansing as cooling energy. Like a vacuum cleaner, this cooling flow moves through your energy channels.
What you will feel: cold sensations, shivering, fever-like states.
What to do: cover your head and body with warm clothes; wear gloves and socks; use a jacket; keep the head covered; stay secluded and remain aloof; let the process work without social exposure.
When Kundalini Works Through Fire (Heating Mode)
Kundalini may become like fire. You may be shivering one hour and sweating with heat the next. Suddenly energy shoots up and you become heated.
What to do: remove excess clothing to cool the body; drink plenty of water; keep yourself hydrated; observe yourself like a patient with extreme care, as you would care for a baby.
When Kundalini Works Through Wind (Vata-Like Imbalance)
Sometimes Kundalini takes the form of wind energy, which increases water imbalance in the body. Prana takes the form of wind.
What you will feel: heaviness, being loaded with toxicity; increased pain; electric shocks continuing.
What to do: if there is too much apana in your system, do the sadhana provided to reduce apana; apply the previously taught formula that reduces water/apana load and, with it, the intensity of electric shocks. (Use the exact preparation and sequence you have already received; follow it diligently.)
When Kundalini Works Through Earth (Heaviness and Inertia)
Sometimes Kundalini takes the form of earth.
What you will feel: heaviness, sickness, loaded density—as if thousands of tons are inside you; the body becomes like a log; you cannot lift it; you feel like only matter, as if life force is gone; even then, shocks may continue.
What to do: accept the gravity; rest deeply; minimize stimulation; allow the body’s “matter” to be saturated with prana again through gentle breath, warmth, and quietude.
When Kundalini Works Through Space (Lightness and Levity)
Sometimes Kundalini is just energy, space-like.
What you will feel: the body becomes lighter; a sense of levitation; like a butterfly; laughter may arise; you feel out of the body, in another dimension—yet shocks may still occur.
What to do: remain present and grounded (sit or lie down when needed); breathe steadily; let awareness anchor in the hara/navel area while allowing the spaciousness to unfold.
Reading the Language of the Shocks
Kundalini has multiple functions to perform because this is a journey of millions of years. The brain and nervous system have never known Kundalini like this. Your brain has come through the evolutionary journey of becoming a human being from the animal world. After that, millions of births have passed with Kundalini moving gently in your system. In this birth, Kundalini has awakened like a volcanic eruption—high-voltage electricity of lightning speed running in your subtle channels, corresponding to the spine and spinal region. It moves through the knots (granthis), through the nadis, and around your auric field. Kundalini is dynamic: she moves through your physical body, mind, and spirit.
When Kundalini moves in your physical body, it takes the formation of bio-electricity—now a subject of scientific study, as science recognizes bio-electrical charge in cells and the nervous system.
When Kundalini flows in your mind, she clears thoughts, beliefs, and conditioning. She gives you different glimpses of different lives. You get intuitive knowing. When she flows in the subtle body beyond the mind, you get glimpses of your future, processed by your brain in different ways. Sometimes the brain feels it is happening right now; if dynamic action is going on, the brain may give you an electric shock.
Sometimes she “talks” by giving shocks in different chakras. As she moves, she speaks; you need to listen. An inner voice arises with the shocks. Sometimes the shocks mean you are doing something wrong and must stop. You may be doing some unconscious activity the brain perceives as a threat.
Shocks in Relationship to People and Places
If your Kundalini is awakened and you interact with a person of lower energy, you may get electric shocks—and that is dangerous. You may get shocks when meeting friends, parents, spouse, or colleagues. This signals the awakening in you and instructs you to take care of physical, mental, emotional, and whole-being health.
Later, these shocks become energy signals to recognize negative energies around you. If you are alone and getting shocks, that is not a problem at all. But if you get shocks when someone is with you, there are two possibilities:
- Your Guru—radiating at higher frequency—is in front of you, or you are in the energy field of a high-energy vortex of the Guru, or a place with high energy vibration; hence the shocks.
- You are in front of someone who is stealing energy from you, who has negative intention; you must go away. This is a signal from the soul, the nervous system, the brain.
Just like dogs have a sixth sense to sense negative energies and start barking or chasing, you possess a similar sixth sense. Your brain and nervous system also perceive this. The shocks come to make you mature, conscious, and aware of your environment—inner and outer. When you understand the intelligence behind the shocks, you will be at peace. Your brain moves to rest-and-digest; your sleep improves; the intensity of shocks lowers gradually. Pain signals reduce; inflammatory forces come down; the fight-fright-freeze mode dissolves; the nervous system settles.
Sadhana, Lifestyle, and the Guru’s Frequency
You need to understand that each electric shock has a meaning. To understand that meaning, do your sadhana. Do your practices. Stay in the vibration of the Guru frequency to understand the intelligence. Be one with the intelligence of the Guru. Until your Kundalini journey is completed, you cannot manage the electric shocks alone. That is not practically possible for your brain, mind, and system to understand and process. You need a powerful Guru to make you understand and to give you the exact sadhana that will work at the particular moment when you are getting the shocks.
Not necessarily are the shocks always from past lives or from Kundalini clearing karmas. Sometimes you get electric shocks due to intuitive signals for great decisions in life—long-pending actions: going away from some people, breaking a relationship, settling accounts (financial or transactional), selling a house, going on a trip, meeting a certain person for development, growth, or business. Those electric signals ask you to go inside and listen. Signals come as vision, as feeling, as powerful portals of energy dimensions. You realize they are coming from a great distance.
Kundalini awakening is like doing a PhD in Self. She awakens in you to make you realize who you are and what your true potential is. Each event during Kundalini awakening is a lesson to learn—to enter the intelligence of why it happens and how it happens. Only the Guru can help you understand and demystify the process.
Practical Grounding: Immediate, Clear Instructions
- When cold, shivering, or fever-ish from cooling flow: cover the head; keep the body warm (gloves, socks, jacket); remain secluded; minimize conversation; let the process work quietly.
- When overheated from fire flow: reduce clothing to cool safely; hydrate copiously; rest; observe yourself gently and frequently, as you would a child.
- When “windy” and agitated with heaviness and pain: perform the exact apana-reducing regimen and sequence you have been given; follow it precisely to reduce water/apana load and the shock intensity.
- When earth-heavy and inert: yield to gravity; keep stimulation low; maintain gentle breathing and warmth; allow prana to replenish.
- When space-light and levitational: anchor awareness in the lower belly while allowing spaciousness; sit or lie down if unstable; breathe steadily.
- In all modes: align lifestyle to sattva; eat meaningful, clean nourishment; avoid what is not meaningful to you; keep faithful to the guidance you have received.
Freedom Through Right Understanding
You do not need to fear anymore the electric shocks you are getting. Take the understanding and be free. Have this understanding and be free now. Thank you. Have a great day.
