My Kundalini Awakening Experience

When I was around 30 years old, I was training in Ki Aikido, doing lots of qi breathing exercises, practicing lucid dreaming, yoga, and chakra meditations.

One evening, I went out partying with some friends. While we were sitting in their kitchen, getting ready to go out, I felt energy rising up my feet to my root chakra, then moving through my abdomen, heart chakra, and beyond. My perception started changing. I became distant, feeling an energy bubble forming around me.

I said to myself, When this reaches my crown chakra, things are going to get crazy.

And really—when the energy reached my crown, it felt like a bubble of energy expanded around me, and I could sense everything within it. I could foresee what my friends were going to say and even read their minds. They felt strange too but somehow accepted the situation. I stopped talking completely, and eventually, we headed out.

We wandered aimlessly through town and ended up in some shady streets. Anything I thought of, my two friends seemed to respond to. I thought we should get a cab to head to the street where the clubs were, and they said, "Yes, we should get a cab." But we were in an area where it was nearly impossible to find one. Just then, around the corner, a taxi appeared.

There were three tough-looking guys standing nearby, and it seemed like they had ordered the ride. But as we approached, I felt an overwhelming love for everything and everyone and just knew we would get that taxi. The men smiled at us and said, "Do you want to take this cab? We’ll call another." We got in, and the driver took us to the club district.

During the ride, I felt like I was burning and bursting with loving energy. My two friends remained calm, accepting everything happening, but the taxi driver looked visibly puzzled. When we arrived, one of my friends offered to pay, but the driver said, "No, the ride is free—on me."

At the club, the doorman told us they weren’t letting anyone else in that night. I still didn’t say a word, but one of my friends said, "Come on, let us in. We’ll just drink a couple of beers and leave when everyone else does." The doorman smiled and said, "Oh, you butterflies, sure, go in."

Once inside, I stood by the counter and ordered a beer. I could feel my energy body expanding, sensing every person in the club—their feelings, thoughts, and even their struggles. I felt omnipresent in that space. Then another strong energy surge rose up my feet and spine, opening at my crown chakra like a thousand-petaled lotus. A wide beam of pure white energy shot down through my crown and exploded outward, filling the entire club.

Everyone in the club felt it. I saw beams of energy extending from me to everyone else, connecting us all. I could share the pure love and freedom I was feeling. People started cheering and exclaiming, "Wow, can you feel that?" The atmosphere became warm and joyful.

I gently pulled the energy back into my physical body, and the intensity wore down a bit. A man approached me, asking for a cigarette. I gave him one, and when he touched my hand, he turned to the others and shouted, "I touched his hand! I touched his hand!"

I let the music move me, connecting with everyone through the rhythm. At one point, I wished for a specific song to play, and as soon as I thought of it, the DJ put it on. That moment filled me with a vision of freedom—a golden wheat field with birds rising from it, flying toward the sun. The vision brought an overwhelming sense of optimism and love, which I shared with everyone. Again, the crowd started cheering, caught in the energy of the moment.

This "session" lasted about two hours before I decided it was time to leave. As I stepped outside, everyone in the club followed me. Dawn was breaking. I finished the last sip of my beer, turned to the crowd, and said, "It’s empty." Then I walked past them, heading home. As I passed, they began singing our national anthem—a song about freedom and unity, about a time when all people on Earth would be friends and brothers.

Walking back, I reflected on the night, feeling immense gratitude and love. From a distance, I sent one final wave of love to the group, and I heard a loud cheer in response. When I reached a park near my home, I sat on a bench to rest. I closed my eyes, basking in the feeling of universal love, and felt myself as a golden-white energy body.

As I sat there, a flock of birds—pigeons and sparrows—flew down and formed a circle around me, no more than half a meter from my feet. They cooed, chirped, and ruffled their feathers as if in harmony with my energy. I shared my love with them, thanking the birds, the people I had encountered, the spirits, and the universe.

Finally, I headed to bed. The feeling continued into the next day—but that’s another story.
