ASMR Research & Support. Tingling on chakras after Reiki, what does it mean? Kundalini Awakening Side Effects. Kundalini yoga is a type of intense yoga that should be practiced with an instructor, and that seeks to bring about the cleansing of the chakras, including the Kundalini chakra that coils like a serpent within the body.
