Could it be a false Kundalini Awakening?

What Is Kundalini Energy?
Kundalini is the divine life force energy that resides at the base of the spine. When awakened consciously, it rises through the energy centers (chakras), clearing blockages and expanding awareness.
It’s not just energy — it’s consciousness itself, the sacred current that unites body, mind, and spirit. A balanced awakening feels grounding, peaceful, and empowering. A rushed or premature awakening, however, can feel overwhelming or chaotic.
A false Kundalini awakening happens when powerful energy is forced or triggered too soon
before your energy channels and nervous system are prepared to hold it.
It feels intense, but it’s often unbalanced and destabilizing rather than divine.
Why “False Awakenings” Happen
A false or premature awakening often occurs when the energy rises before the body and nervous system are ready to hold it. This can be triggered by trauma release, intense spiritual practice, emotional turmoil, or external energetic activation.
Mine was activated through a major car accident that I was in back in 2005. Spontaneous Kundalini activation through a traumatic or near-death experience is actually something many teachers and energy healers describe. In your case, that moment likely acted as both a shock and a spiritual initiation — a sudden surge of life-force energy moving through your system before your body or mind could fully prepare for it.
What began as chaos within my body and emotions eventually became the greatest initiation and gift of my life. Through deep healing, grounding, and learning to work with the energy consciously, I discovered how this force — once overwhelming — could become a channel for clarity, compassion, and purpose.
When energy moves upward too quickly, without grounding, it can create imbalance — light without roots. This doesn’t mean something went wrong — it simply means the energy is asking for integration and care.
Symptoms of a False or Premature Kundalini Awakening - If you haven't watched the video above
Mental & Emotional Symptoms
Sudden waves of anxiety, panic, or fear with no clear cause
Emotional overwhelm — mood swings, crying spells, irritability
Feeling “split” between higher awareness and everyday life
Obsessive spiritual thinking, or fear of “losing your mind”
Sleep disturbances or vivid, chaotic dreams
Feeling detached from reality (derealization or dissociation)
Physical & Nervous System Symptoms
Heat or pressure at the base of the spine, head, or heart
Tingling, twitching, or spontaneous body movements
Heart palpitations, irregular breathing, or body vibrations
Sensitivity to light, sound, or electromagnetic energy
Fatigue alternating with bursts of energy (“wired but tired”)
Feeling ungrounded or “electric” in the body
Energetic & Spiritual Symptoms
Seeing lights, colors, or hearing tones during meditation or rest
Feeling energy rushes that move unpredictably through the body
Overactive crown or third eye chakra — “too open” sensation
Sudden psychic sensitivity or intuitive overwhelm
Ego inflation (“I am enlightened now”) or deep confusion (“I’m broken”)
Feeling disconnected from the physical world or body
A “false awakening” doesn’t mean the energy is bad — it means it’s unintegrated.
The energy is awake, but the body isn’t grounded enough to hold it.
When the root and heart chakras stabilize, the same energy that once caused chaos becomes a source of peace, vitality, and higher awareness.
Kundalini energy ~ Sleeping in our Root chakra
Kundalini energy rests at the base of the spine — our root, our foundation. It’s the divine life force waiting to rise through the body’s energy channels, cleansing and awakening each chakra as it moves toward the crown.
When this energy flows in harmony, it expands our awareness and reconnects us with love, clarity, and truth. But if it awakens too quickly or unevenly, it can feel destabilizing.
Kundalini Reiki helps to rebalance this flow — grounding the light into the body, calming the nervous system, and allowing awakening to unfold safely, with grace and integration.
We are born with an awakened Kundalini
We’re all born with an awakened Kundalini — the pure life force flowing freely through our being. As children, this energy expresses as joy, wonder, creativity, and a deep connection to life itself. Up until around the age of six, we live mostly from this open state — our chakras are vibrant, our hearts are unguarded, and our spirit remembers who we are.
As we grow, our environment begins to shape us. If we experience fear, suppression, or emotional neglect, the energy slowly begins to withdraw — not out of punishment, but as a form of protection. The Kundalini doesn’t disappear; it simply rests, waiting for the right moment and safety to rise again.
Reawakening Kundalini, then, isn’t about forcing energy upward — it’s about creating the safety, trust, and openness for it to awaken naturally once more.
What are the benefits of an awakened Kundalini?
When Kundalini awakens in balance, it doesn’t explode — it unfolds.
It brings a deeper remembrance of who you truly are and aligns your physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies into harmony.
Deep Healing & Emotional Release - Old wounds, fears, and suppressed emotions gently rise to the surface to be released. You begin to feel lighter, clearer, and freer — as if you’re finally breathing in your own truth.
Heightened Intuition & Inner Guidance - Your connection to higher consciousness becomes stronger. Decisions feel guided, synchronicities increase, and you begin to trust your intuition as your true compass.
Expanded Awareness - Your intuition is on point or should I say en guard. You experience yourself beyond the limits of the physical body. A sense of oneness, unity, and divine presence becomes more natural — life feels sacred in every moment.
Vital Energy - Creativity - As Kundalini flows freely, vitality and creative expression return. You may feel inspired to paint, write, dance, or create — your soul expresses itself effortlessly through you. Even though some of us may not believe it at first, but we all have our spiritual gifts. One of the things I love seeing when teaching Kundalini Reiki is my students discovering their gifts and how they develop.
Inner Peace & Spiritual Maturity - The constant search begins to quiet. You find stillness not by escaping life, but by being deeply present in it — grounded, loving, and aware.
Alignment with Purpose - An awakened Kundalini aligns you with your soul path.
You begin attracting experiences and people that resonate with your highest frequency — your life starts to mirror your inner truth.
My personal experience with Kundalini Reiki.
Through my own journey, I’ve learned that the most gentle and complete way to awaken your Kundalini is through initiation into Kundalini Reiki.
As a Kundalini Reiki Master and Teacher, I’ve never witnessed negative side effects with the method I use. In fact, about 30% of my students who had previously experienced a false awakening found relief and stability through their attunement to Kundalini Reiki — learning how to activate and guide the energy consciously and safely.
It’s a natural gift you can continue using for yourself and your loved ones — a gentle, loving tool to help your energy rise with grace and purpose.
