Kundalini Awakening: Esoteric practices, Jungian Psychology, Paganism

In this episode, we tackle the ancient and powerful practice of Kundalini Yoga, tracing its roots from the sacred Upanishads of the first millennium BCE to its contemporary role in Western esotericism. Discover how Kundalini, often envisioned as a dormant serpentine force at the base of the spine, has been integrated into modern spiritual practices, transforming lives through its profound psycho-spiritual benefits.
We explore how Kundalini Yoga has evolved through the ages, influenced by the teachings of notable figures like T. Krishnamacharya and Yogi Bhajan, and how it has been adapted into the practices of contemporary witches, Pagans, and occultists. We'll also examine the significant impact of Carl Jung's ideas on individuation and the integration of the unconscious, which resonate deeply with the transformative journey of Kundalini awakening.

    People believe kundalini awakening is like a parlor game. It is not. It is a very dangerous and arduous process that can take up to 40 years to complete. All of the world's religions are about this natural evolutionary process. The danger is that when the unconscious is loosened, it can easily overwhelm the ego and cause psychosis. People should develop their ego first. Without a strong, established, and healthy ego, one will not be able to endure the agonies of the process.

    I had an interesting experience with a style of this yoga. I was practicing at an ashram near me and after a few months of practice I was riding with a friend of mine when I got hit with a wave of nausea and I thought I was getting sick, right after this I felt an explosion of warmth and pressure so real and unmistakable I thought I went to the bathroom on myself. My eye sight went out and I had my friend pull over and I crawled from the side of the road to a patch of grass(not sure how I knew it was there) where it dawned on me to practice my Kriya and, beyond other things, helped subside those wild symptoms.

    I have a theory that the Chakras are resonant standing waves of the peak frequencies of the Schumann resonance, being that each peak frequency is roughly double that of the number of petals of each chakra. Other theorists John Evans, who in his "Mind Body & Electromagnetism" relates Chakras to signal propagation differentials. Wim Borsboom relates the Chakras (New Age system) to the sympathetic nerve pairs. There's an interesting article in "Edge Science Magazine", No.36 on Reissner's fiber, which may have relevance regarding kundalini. There have been a number of Chakra detectors made, one by Patrick Flanagan (who claims it detects the pulsations of them), Hiroshi Motoyama, whose research is flawed as he uses people who meditate on Chakras, which could produce artifacts. James DeMeo whose Life energy experimental field meter based on Wilhelm Reich's Orgone energy field meter apparently detects them (see Heliognosis). Valerie Hunt who in her "Infinte Mind" uses a system based on electromyography to apparently detect the Chakras.

    I find exercise to sometimes aggravate kundalini. A lot of Meditation also aggravates kundalini. I've researched this and it can be very common reaction. It's a whole job to manage this energy. If you can eat a lot yes that is grounding it but I can't eat tons of food.
