From Stan:
About 5 years ago a lady gave me a traditional Thai massage, as the massage was winding-up I was sat in a Lotus position and remember concentrating on keeping a straight back, about this time I started feeling tingling sensation which moved from my extremities to my spine then traveled up my neck to my head where they began to erupt from the crown in a manner I can only describe as ‘like a roman candle’ (the firework), it was an extremely satisfying feeling of release which lasted for maybe about a minute, I felt very blessed and consider it to be one of the spiritual highlights of my entire life. What i would like to know is what was going on and should i read anything special into my fortuitous experience? I’ve had many Thai massages both before and after this experience but never again received ‘the blessing’.
Inspirations from Binah:
From what you describe, it sounds like you had a Kundalini Awakening. At the base of the spine lies the Kundalini energy, or spiritual energy. Regardless of what religious, spiritual, or meditation tradition you follow, there is a belief that the awakening of this energy is the essential part of spiritual advancement.
The Reiki for Holistic Health website talks about Kundalini Awakening as the following:
“Under certain circumstances, the Kundalini energy awakens and begins to rise through the body, piercing and opening the chakras as she moves in her undulating, snake-like fashion. As Kundalini releases stored and blocked energies, her movement can be quite intense, sometimes painful, and often leads to mental states that seem out of this world.
Circumstances that stimulate Kundalini awakening are many and varied, but are usually triggered by such things as extended periods of meditation, yoga, fasting, stress, trauma, psychedelic drugs, or near death experiences.”
Self-Realization is the ultimate goal of all spiritual endeavors and for many, the awakening of the Kundalini through the central channel, piercing the seven chakras and emerging at the top of the head as a “fountain”, is the physical manifestation of this self-realization. Something in that Thai massage put you into a state where you were able to let go of all around you and tap into you deep power source.
The effects of this experience are still with you today and have become a permanent part of your evolution. Move forward knowing that you have experienced your true power. According to the psychiatrist Carl Jung, “…the concept of Kundalini has for us only one use, that is, to describe our own experiences with the unconscious…”
