Kundalini Story - my first experience - awakening

Summary

, 11 min

A first kundalini experience in the ashram: in deep, exhausted meditation the room seemed to spin, and a long-serving monk dismissed it as a dream. The spiral is explained as the unlocking of Lahiri Mahasaya's third knot at the coccyx, and the balance yogis seek is described through heart rate variability and the breath states.
