Kundalini Collective:
* KundaliniCollective;
''We are a group of people who have experienced Kundalini or spiritual awakenings. We come from diverse backgrounds, and all share the experience of being in the awakening process.
We are here first and foremost to provide peer support to those who are experiencing this process. We see it as being both positive and profound, but also a journey that can be challenging to navigate.
We see Kundalini as a part of the life force within us all, that helps us become aware of our nature, guiding us through a journey to a more authentic self. As it does this we will face our unresolved psychological issues, and ultimately the dissolution of the ego as our sense of centre, and this may cause anxieties and fears to rise. This non-linear process may seem chaotic and life-shattering and hopefully this website will be a resource to help you through your process as you begin to integrate these experiences.
Although it appears that awakenings are becoming more common, we are still in a small minority, and so what you are going through may make you feel that you are alone. The Kundalini Collective is here to provide support and comradeship.
We are not gurus or special spiritual people, we are normal people living normal lives, and as we share our stories we are building up a pool of knowledge and resources that can be helpful and supportive.
We also run regular online groups, as well as some face to face meet-ups, where we can connect with, and support each other as we develop in our process. We hope to encourage people to create their own local meet up groups and collectives so that these resources can be shared on both a local and global level.
The most challenging part of the process is normally the beginning when one does not recognise this new awareness and fights the change. We suggest that in this situation you surrender to the process, and when you do it will become a little easier. Then, when it becomes challenging again surrender some more. As this non-linear process continues your old self will begin to dissolve and even though new ‘selves' will arise, you will begin to understand how these ‘selves’ exist as a way to operate in everyday life, rather than being a true sense of who you really are.''

* Lee Sannella: What is Kundalini? (excerpt) - Thinking Allowed with Dr. Jeffrey Mishlove ;
''Changes in the human brain and nervous system can result from intensive spiritual disciplines. The late Lee Sannella, M.D., author of Kundalini: Psychosis or Transcendence?, devoted many decades to the exploration of spiritual paths. "Kundalini" refers to energy coiled at the base of the spine which can rise up to the brain. Although Western science knows virtually nothing of this process, it has been described in detail in Eastern spiritual traditions.''
* The Kundalini Experience by Lee Sannella | Full audio book in English;
''Here is the summary of this audiobook in english "THE KUNDALINI EXPERIENCE" by Lee Sannella.
Many people have heard of the extraordinary phenomenon of kundalini awakening in which a persons body is swept by muscle spasms, indescribable sensations & sharp pains running throughout the body. He feels his body tearing within. Then suddenly he laughs & is overcome with bliss. When allowed to progress to completion, this process may culminate in deep psychological balance, inner strength, and emotional maturity.
Psychiatrist Lee Sannella, cofounder of the Kundalini Clinic in San Francisco, differentiates this from a psychotic episode. Instead, it is a psychophysiological transformation, or 'rebirth' process as natural as physical birth.''

* Kundalini : The Evolutionary Energy in Man - Gopi Krishna Talks on Kundalini Awakening;
''Conversation of Gopi Krishna and Joseph Dippong, Discussion at Bio Energy Research Foundation, Zurich, October 12, 1976, Gopi Krishna Throws light on kundalini energy, kundalini awakening and kundalini experience.
Coiled like a snake at the base of the spine, kundalini is the spiritual force that lies dormant in every human being. Once awakened, often through meditation and yoga practices, it rises up the spine and finds expression in the form of spiritual knowledge, mystical vision, psychic powers, and ultimately, enlightenment.''
* Gopi Krishna: Kundalini : Ancient Technology for Modern Times; ''Gopi Krishna (30 May 1903 -- 1984) of India was a yogi, mystic, teacher, social reformer, and writer. He started on a discipline of meditation to discover who he was.
After having been engaged in this for many years, he had his first Kundalini experience at the age of 34, which he describes thus in his autobiography:
" Suddenly, with a roar like that of a waterfall, I felt a stream of liquid light entering my brain through the spinal cord. Entirely unprepared for such a development, I was completely taken by surprise; but regaining my self-control, keeping my mind on the point of concentration.
The illumination grew brighter and brighter, the roaring louder, I experienced a rocking sensation and then felt myself slipping out of my body, entirely enveloped in a halo of light. It is impossible to describe the experience accurately. I felt the point of consciousness that was myself growing wider surrounded by waves of light. It grew wider and wider, spreading outward while the body, normally the immediate object of its perception, appeared to have receded into the distance until I became entirely unconscious of it. I was now all consciousness without any outline, without any idea of corporeal appendage, without any feeling or sensation coming from the senses, immersed in a sea of light simultaneously conscious and aware at every point, spread out, as it were, in all directions without any barrier or material obstruction. I was no longer myself, or to be more accurate, no longer as I knew myself to be, a small point of awareness confined to a body, but instead was a vast circle of consciousness in which the body was but a point, bathed in light and in a state of exultation and happiness impossible to describe..."

* Ann Mathie | Navigating the Kundalini Experience
''Ann discusses the different states of consciousness that can arise with Kundalini experiences and how they are situated Buddhist and Tantric paths to awakening. Through the lens of phenomenological research, manuals written by advanced meditation teachers and ancient Buddhist and Tantric texts, we will put into context some of the more challenging altered states and how one might navigate these experiences towards greater freedom. For more context we will touch on the subtle body and biological mechanisms at play during a Kundalini awakening.''
* Ann Mathie Part 1 ''Ann Mathie is an academic and researcher specialising in Buddhist Tantra and someone who has gone through the Kundalini process herself. She teaches courses on Kundalini, tantra Buddhism and meditation.''
* Ann Mathie Part 2 ''In this conversation we draw on our experiences of what helped us through the Kundalini process, and discuss what kind of institutions and processes would be helpful to create the conditions in society that would be beneficial for a Kundalini awakening.''
* Kundalinī the lived experience, psychology and metaphysics with Ann Mathie;
''This talk will explore the physical, emotional and metaphysical experience of Kuṇḍalinī that can arise spontaneously or as a result of spiritual practice/devotion.
We will frame this experience within the Tantric and Yogic world view to understand the mechanism of Kuṇḍalinī and its purpose. We will look at the scriptural evolution of ideas from the Indian continent which points at this divine occurrence. To unpack this phenomenon further, we will examine the yogic body model of the sun and the moon from a scriptural perspective to understand the full potential that Kuṇḍalinī can bestow.
This mysterious occurrence can be viewed by modern psychiatry as mania, schizophrenia or psychosis. In this talk, we will explore some ideas which differentiate transcendence from psychosis and how we have a growing need to re-examine older psychiatric models of a healthy mind. We will touch on emerging psychological frameworks such as transpersonal psychology as a means to support this experience in the west.''
* Ann Mathie: Preliminary Practices on Paths to Transcendence in Eastern Traditions;
''Various methods exist for preparing the mind for profound insights and psychological changes which can happen during spontaneous Kuṇḍalinī awakenings and meditation practices – and refining our behaviour when accessing deeper structures of the mind can be highly significant. Ann will explore the mechanisms behind thought in Sāṃkhya Metaphysics (a philosophy which supports most traditions in Tantra and Yoga) to better understand how ethical behaviour impacts various stages on the path to awakening. She will also look at how preliminary practices such as the Pāramitā (transcendent action) safeguard against certain psychological hindrances when we start to deepen our insights, and she will examine spiritual teachers’ responsibility and the impact their behaviour has on furthering enlightenment.
Ann Mathie has been practising yoga and meditation for nearly 20 years and has a Masters in the Traditions of Yoga and Meditation from SOAS University of London with ongoing Sanskrit training. Her own experiences have pointed her toward a phenomenological investigation of the parallels between spontaneous Kuṇḍalinī awakenings and Buddhist and Yogic paths to enlightenment as well as cutting-edge consciousness theory.''
* Ann Mathie - Buddha at the Gas Pump Interview;
''Ann has been practising yoga and meditation for nearly 20 years and has since completed her Masters in the Traditions of Yoga and Meditation from SOAS University with ongoing Sanskrit training. Ann was inspired from an early age by her father’s anecdotal experiences with Kuṇḍalinī and his involvement in experiments with Zen priest and transpersonal scientist, Dr Motoyama. Her own experiences have pointed her towards a phenomenological investigation of the parallels between spontaneous Kuṇḍalinī awakenings and Buddhist paths to enlightenment. Her previous research focuses on the phenomenology of Buddhist and Yogic experiences through practice.
Ann is currently researching spontaneous Kuṇḍalinī arousals and how these experiences map onto the path of realisation within Indian Buddhist and Yogic traditions as well as cutting-edge consciousness theory. Her mission is to gain a deeper understanding of the psychological processes that can arise from spontaneous transpersonal experiences or deep meditation practice and how we can safely support others walking this path towards greater wholeness.''

''Meredith Sands Keator was raised in a holistic healing environment and was trained in Shiatsu and Acupuncture in the mid-nineties. While she has been an educator and therapist since that time, it was her Kundalini experience in 1995 that radically directed her focus and led her to pioneer an understanding of the geometric patterning of the nervous system, and how this can accelerate healing. Meredith will be sharing some personal details of her Kundalini experience that were particularly difficult, her insights as to why they came about, and explore the avenues of individual empowerment in connecting more directly with our own innate abilities through the lens of Fractal Anatomy.''

Sharing the work of her family lineage in Somatic Stretch®, she introduces the idea of fractals in relation to our anatomy, and how our neural impulses are the engine through which Kundalini functions, giving us an opportunity to become participants in our evolving consciousness as a species, and a society, in the midst of monumental change.''

This video provides a unique window into one man's experience with Kundalini, and how he managed to cope with changes to his metabolism, sleep, allergies, anxieties, state of mind, etc. The goal of the Kundalini biological mechanism is to elevate the species to the next phase of human evolution, a state known as Higher Consciousness, Enlightenment, Christ Consciousness, etc. Due to a variety of factors including possibly heredity, our modern way of life, behaviors, etc., negative symptoms may occur. Although Kundalini experiences are occurring more and more, they are rarely addressed in an honest and thoughtful way. This video is intended to raise awareness about various aspects of the Kundalini process, and to help those undergoing their own Kundalini process understand that they are not alone.''

The hard truth about Kundalini - The mystical energy of awakening; ''Ever wondered if the ancient concept of kundalini is a myth or a reality? Discover the connections between kundalini and enlightenment, and learn about the various stages of kundalini awakening. In this episode, we uncover the fascinating origins, structure and significance of kundalini energy, clarifying the boundaries between the symbolic and the real. We present both historical and mythological perspectives, explaining how the image of the kundalini snake can be seen in mythological motifs from around the world. Keith explains the energy anatomy related to kundalini including the sushumna nadi, pingala and ida channels and the granthis. He guides us through the stages of kundalini awakening from the rising of "shakti" energy to the sushumna nadi and chakra system, catalyzing profound transformation for the experiencer. We learn about the positive and potentially negative outcomes of kundalini rising from extrasensory perception and spiritual insight to the problematic psychophysiological issues known as kundalini syndrome. We also address the significant question; "How can a person make a kundalini awakening happen?" For those interested in having a kundalini awakening, Keith emphasizes the importance of practices that foster greater balance, enhanced presence and increased vitality - highlighting that no single method reigns supreme. Gain clarity on the often misunderstood process of kundalini awakening and discover insights to support your progress in awakening this powerful energy that resides within.''
