The ancient Sanskrit word for "vital energy" is prana. It begins to be unleashed into the body from the portal of the root chakra during a Kundalini awakening. Prior to this, the Kundalini remains dormant and coiled precisely three and one half times around the base of the spine. Accompanying the release of the prana, dramatic shifts in consciousness and psychological upheavals will occur in the initiate. A wide array of symptoms are associated with a Kundalini awakening. This is known as "Kundalini syndrome."
The process of a Kundalini awakening/syndrome can vary, depending on the evolutionary requirement of the initiate. Some have very intense physical symptoms, while others experience mainly emotional or psychological symptoms. But nearly all experience a certain degree of all three. It's as if the job of the pranic energy is to transform the mental, emotional, and physical bodies, with unresolved, repressed, and unattended physical and/or emotional conditions bubbling up to the surface for resolution and release.
Prana is the intense energy that moves throughout the body and clears out physiological blocks. As this occurs, an initiate may experience intense involuntary, jerking movements of various parts of the body, including shaking, vibrations, spasms, trembling, contractions, and muscles cramps. As deeply held blockages to the smooth flow of pranic energy dissolve, the initiate may re-access memories and emotions associated with prior trauma and injury.
Yogic postures or hand gestures (mudras) are also commonly performed among initiates without any prior knowledge of them. Similarly, they may speak or channel Sanskrit words or sounds, or have an awareness of inner music or sound, mantras, chants, or tones. Breathing patterns often shit from the lungs to the abdomen and dramatically increase or decrease in rate. Sometimes breathing stops altogether for long periods of time without any ramifications.
Toxins are released because of the unblocking of marma points throughout the body caused by the intense movement of pranic energy. Symptoms may include heart or cardiovascular problems, gastrointestinal or nervous system disturbances. Sensations of the skin burning or heating up in specific areas, alternating with other ares of the body becoming chilled and/or freezing are also common symptoms of a Kundalini awakening. This is indicative of the cold/hot, female/male, yin/yang, polarity purification of the ida/pingala nadi pathways.
Other symptoms of the pranic energy surging through the body include hyperactivity or lethargy, great variations in sexual desire, and even spontaneous orgasm. Kundalini syndrome symptoms can be erratic, may come and go without provocation or warning, and are generally unresponsive to medical treatment.
