Readers:
Be VERY CAUTIOUS when attempting to activate Kundalini energy! It is nothing to mess with and should only be opened by those who know what they are doing and under strict constant (minute-by-minute) guidance.
I had my Kundalini activated inadvertently, took two years TWO YEARS to resolve, working upwards through all chakras. Nearly went out of my mind when it was happening! Mental breakdown! ~~~Some people have actually DIED from this; many in institutions were committed because they were unaware of its true nature. NOT A JOKE!
Yes, I achieved Samadhi and Nirvana but the effort was intense and excruciating. Third eye open, auras, wishes manifesting almost instantaneously, thoughts becoming reality (be careful what you think or imagine!), etc etc.
Was it worth it?
One cannot function in a state of Nirvana in today's reality. One has to pay the bills.
Seriously, I do NOT recommend messing with Kundalini energy unless one is willing to sacrifice years and is willing to change one's reality!

Good advice...
Many people believe that an wakened kundalini will take care of all their problems. In my books, I stress the importance of understanding the trade-offs that come with an active kundalini. Living with this awakened energy is a daily challenge. I had a reason for activating kundalini. Many readers of books and students in my classes say they want to "do" it, but cannot tell me why. Not good...
