As always, don’t believe a thing I say unless it resonates in your heart and works for you. Except maybe the bit about checking in with a medical professional if you have any physical symptoms – do that regardless! So… what is Kundalini? Kundalini is the feminine, creative, evolutionary force of infinite wisdom that lives inside every single one of us. But no regular doctor is ever going to find evidence of Ms Kundalini. Nope, Kundalini lives in the subtle body, along with the chakras and the nadis. In my experience, this is not a metaphorical description.

You can try it yourself: Listen to this sound (don’t turn your volume too loud). Most people will hear an R2-D2-like swell of vocoder-tinged whistling. Next, listen to this recording of a woman saying, “It was a sunny day, and the children were going to the park,” in a soothing, southern English accent. Now try R2-D2 again.

Hallucinators may have an easier time parsing the R2-D2-like sounds, even before listening to the other recording. Facilitator of Expanded Consciousness. What Bipolar II Feels Like.

Some spiritual practices are specifically designed to evoke an evolutionary leap. Undergoing a spiritual journey and stripping away the illusions of the ego self can sometimes be the most painfully difficult journey we can take. But like Carly, more and more people doing spiritual practices experience challenges related to their spiritual growth. Many spiritual traditions consider this period in one’s spiritual journey holy.
