Addressing Heat During Kundalini Rising: Tips and Precautions

Heat During Kundalini Rising: Understanding the Experience

Heat during kundalini rising is a common experience, as the kundalini energy starts to ascend, it naturally causes body temperature to rise. To maintain balance, it is advised to engage in heavy work or exercise, and practice yoga. Additionally, a cold water shower can provide relief from the heat.

Precautions and Do's During Kundalini Awakening

If you experience kundalini energy rising, pay attention to the following precautions:

Avoid strong tea, spicy foods, chillies, oily foods, meat, cigarettes, wine, synthetic fast foods, and cold drinks. Avoid negative thoughts and maintain a positive mindset during meditation. Do meditation on an empty stomach. Do not stand up immediately after meditation. Stay seated for a minute or two to ensure balance.

Experiencing New Sensations During Meditation

During meditation, you may experience a variety of new sensations, such as:

Increased heart rate. Changes in the throat, such as a feeling of force moving up the body or electrical sensations. Distinct odors or smells resembling flowers.

It is important to observe these experiences without judgment, as telling others or feeling proud about them can lead to mental and physical problems.

Managing Heat During Meditation

For mild heat, which is a sign of oxygenation in the body, it can be beneficial. However, if the heat is painful and frequent, it may need to be cooled down. Here are some tips to help:

Focus on the heart center or the third-eye center, known as the "lunar" or "cool feminine" chakras. Meditate on images of calm, healing love, such as bodies of water or cool moonlit nights.

The ultimate lunar cool chakra is located about 12-14 inches above the head, where the human soul connects with the divine. This can offer a deeper relaxation and calming effect.

If the heat is intense and causes a temperature higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit or frequent pain, seek medical attention immediately. If you live in a large metropolitan area, you may find a doctor who has experience with Kundalini symptoms.

Seek Professional Guidance

If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to consult a doctor. Avoid explaining your symptoms related to Kundalini, as this might lead to a referral to a psychiatrist. Instead, describe the heat symptoms and ask about any potential dangers or treatments.

Good luck and may the journey of awakening be peaceful.
