    For me, opening the central channel and releasing the kundalini energy was just like an explosion. It happened unexpectedly during meditation. My whole body was paralyzed. Literally. It was a very painful process. Every organ, every part of my body ached. I was aware of what was happening to my body, but I couldn't move. I had completely lost control of my own body. It was shaking in convulsions and I could not control it. At the same time I was greeted by my spirit guide in astral projection. I had never experienced anything like this before. My brain split in two. Multitasking. One part was aware of what was happening down on the couch with my body, and the other was somewhere up in the astral, with other beings. It was a frightening and at the same time incredibly beautiful experience. While my body was dying down, my spirit was on holiday in heaven and my spirit guides took me to the source. It was very interesting that my other body up there, was not in any pain. It was happy. It felt only incredible love from all sides. I spoke to the source and got the answers I was looking for and it was explained to me that I was being treated and for that my whole body ached. I was literally operated on before my eyes. I watched from above as my body writhed helplessly while my spirit above conversed with the source. Unlocking my kundalini energy and activating my chakras was the most painful and at the same time the most powerful and wonderful experience. I know that I died and came back to life.
    Thank you for the wonderful videos you make. They are priceless.

    I usually see purple fractals, but I have seen geometrics. One of the most delightful experiences i had was taking my mother to see the Goyoto Monks. They do the chanting with 3 notes per throat/voice. When they were chanting, they were creating these multidimensional, gyroscope looking geometries that turned as they floated through the air! So awesome

    Thanks Ben, thats a comprehensive explanation and I experienced this phenomenon only yesterday.
    During a busy day, waiting for an appointment, I had time to visit a beach and spent 30 minutes meditating.
    I had a rare moment of " oneness" where I became the breeze, the sand, the sun. Even the sound of a parakeet flying across connected on a profound level. My physical presence disappeared and I was aware of a gently spinning energy.
    What came as a realisation was that all of these elements were also myself, simultaineously.
    I remained focussed and even more effective for the rest of the day.
    Good luck with everything going forward 🙏

My sister passed of Cancer this past March 3rd after only being diagnosed February 3rd and then my nephew passed April 3rd so I was spiraling into a very bad depression and threw desperately searching for Grief help videos I repeatedly was coming across Meditation so started with some beginner videos there were a few twist and turns that ended up scaring me so I backed away in fear of somehow getting brainwashed for lack of better phrasing but then was left feeling lost … anyway lol with all that rumbling being said (I apologize) I did start looking around again and Thankfully came across your page Ben I am so extremely grateful for this I feel completely “ safe “ following your advice and am going to sign up for the classes or however all of the offer goes shortly 😊.

    Dude... Thank you sooo much for all of your informative videos. They've helped me a lot on my journey. I have been practicing laying down meditation for a about 7 months because of a reoccurring injury on my tailbone. Can't sit too well. But I have experienced the spinning multiple times and have just been breathing through it while reciting mantra in my head, tongue pressed into the nook above the of the top of my teeth and eyes closed but focused into my 3rd eye. I'm thankful you explained this. I feel like I can integrate the knowledge with pranayama before medotation sessions now that I know what is happening and what it is.

    Kundalini causes a lot of twitching and pressure too. It moves around clearing the body of blocked energy which often brings up suppressed memories. Eventually, after you’ve worked with it for a while, it will work in tandem with secretions from the pineal and pituitary glands to expand your consciousness. Kundalini is a game changer in spiritual healing and growth. When mine awakened, I would wake at night and feel someone working at my back and then feel an electrical pulse shoot up my spine. The first time they worked at my lower back, the second behind the heart and the third in the neck. This happened early in my meditation practice. I was just starting. Then during Covid I had another awakening that was so intense I was doubling over in its intensity. It felt wonderful, but ‘too’ wonderful. And it was constant. No letting up. This lasted about an hour. My heart felt flooded with Source energy. I’m blessed in that I can communicate with my guides and was led how to work with this intense energy.
    I feel that whoever it was that worked with my spine on those three occasions had muted or softened the awakening. And had they allowed this extreme kundalini awakening years earlier I couldn’t have endured it.

    I experienced that without being aware that I am meditating :) Today I crossed the first line being aware and very present. It is not for everybody to start immediately. I fully agree most of the people need guidance. Due to my body stiffness I don't feel comfort in popular meditating postures. I simply lay down on the bed. So I did today. My second day of trying. It worked instantly. Everything started spinning, spots morphed one into another. Blue, greenish, brown, etc. Dark colors are dominant but there are bright white flashes. I was expecting some movie like show, but the fact is you shouldn't expect anything. Simply wait. Real deal started when one of sudden I started falling down into nothingness it a circling well I was in. Scary moment but I was ready to go all in. So I did. Whoa!!! The worst classic nightmare I guess. It lasted for a while and I came back to my bad but my body was fully weightless. It even started to float over the bad. Gravity vanished for those couple of minutes. I lost the ground below my feet but learnt to fly. It is only the state of mind. Nothing else is necessary. All those technics are to learn to watch you body. I was experiencing sleep paralysis, lucid dreams, weightless body since childhood. I even hear 'click' before I fall asleep :D I always felt there is a secret I have to explore. If only somebody could teach me those things, I wouldn't had lost over 40 years. Or I needed that time to make it useful and help others as adult and reasoning man. I know what prana is. It is everything. We perceive world inside out. The vacuum is the substance. The matter is vacuum. Einstein discovered it and even calculated.

    I often experience a sensation of spinning or rapid rocking movement that I’m actually really pleased about after watching this but I do find that the motion always makes me come out of a the deepness I’ve eventually managed to reach. I often feel that it really presents an end to that meditation and feel that I’m done with it for the day. But I would prefer if I could rather stay in that state as it’s not always easy to reach. But I’m grateful I have the experience, as least I’m on the right track 😉. My name is Toni-Lee and I live in Johannesburg, South Africa 🇿🇦.

    Recommendation: Ice cold water dip for face while meditating. So have a bucket with ice water (actual ice in it). When meditating for a while, you dip your face into the bucker. Something called "Diver's reflex" hits body and lowers blood pressure and heartbeat, calming things down a lot. Wipe face after a good dip and continue meditation. Any time stale just repeat the dip and you getting up from your seat to do it you just gain more peace.

    Hi Ben, I love your channel and it’s really clarifying a lot of the questions my mind had about the energy centres of the body. I went through what I now know was an ego death back in 2020 and I gradually eased into meditation after a very difficult start and this spinning has stayed with me since then without the explosive energy you’ve mentioned. I suppose it’s the gradual way towards that activation in my case perhaps. Thanks and I look forward to seeing more of your content.

At first ir was kinda cool but after awhile it started to scare me and in the dreams I would try to stop by putting my hands on floor or grabbing furniture in my room but i never could. This went on for 3yrs or so. And its funny, back then id never even heard of lucid dreaming. But in a way thats what i was doing.i learned that when i was in my 20s.

    I had those burts of energy during meditation and I was not sure if this is normal or did I just imagine it or somehow projected it. It came from the bottom of the spine upwards and was enormous. My body was litteraly shaking. Some intuition was telling me that I have to open my chakras from the bottom one to the top, one by one by sending my focus on those parts of my body. It was very subtle at the beggining but then it was turning into a huge burst. I will try to be more mindful to those energies going forward. Thank you for explaining this.

When I asked some people if they had experienced that, they looked at me like weird. So I never asked again. Until I started to meditate I experience this more and it was the only thing that would release this sensation. But it confused me as in why it would happen while I was awake and in at random times. It wasn’t too often, maybe once every few years, but made me curious.

    I’ve never had the spinning sensations. However when I do continuous breathing during meditation my hands slowly experience a combination of numbness, pins & needles, and stiffness with some pain. If I move my arms then the sensations slowly go away. Returning to normal relaxed breathing also returns my hands to normal.

    I have a question and I was hoping if someone could help me:
    I started meditating about 2 years ago due to an LSD experience I had (totally immature), but which I actually ended up doing more because I liked it.
    Once every few months, I get to a point in meditation where I lose the form of my body and start feeling a vibration growing stronger and stronger (it is a little different from the spinning sensation that Ben mentions, which I have experienced only twice under LSD), I feel like I’m a sky rocket preparing for launch but then my heart starts beating faster, I get hot, I sweat and all of a sudden I don’t feel that vibration anymore and my whole body just stays completely calm and neutral.
    Some people have told me that is related to having my soul protecting me from going to the astral plane and find evil beings.
    But other people have told me that it’s just that I am not prepared to even go there, that’s why I don’t … launch to the sky and beyond.
    At this point I don’t even know if that is actually the point, but I’d like to get your opinion on this.
    Thank you for reading this.

      Oh last night I was working with arcturians and saw an image like i was seeing something in a dream but awake. There was two humanoid figures i saw one push the other out the frame and heard careful you will scare her. for the first time but it gave me a falling sensation as she said that like dropping in a rollercoaster and they disappeared. However I felt exhilarated afterwards and immense love and gratitude.

    Thank you Ben, I've never experienced spinning; however, while meditating, I'm experiencing my ear drums vibrating on a massive scale. It almost feels like an eye muscle causing it, but not sure. Have you or anyone else experienced this. Thanks again

    I get a slight spin, almost like I’m turning inside myself - but also get a rocking back and forth sometimes. Thanks for doing these videos! I had a spontaneous awakening years ago and started meditating a bit after - but have had many sensations with or without meditating without knowing what they were about.
    Could you do a video about the ringing in the ears? I think it’s called nada- I get a high pitched tone primarily in my right ear

    The spinning wasn’t during meditation but at night when I was sleep I would spin like I’m on a ride, felt very weird. This went on for a while at night until one morning I had this urge to stretch so I sat in a ball and rolled my body backwards and forward until suddenly I started spinning so hard that I just played there feeling as if I was gonna pass out because I was spinning so fast until it stopped. I was afraid to more for a minute but after that incident I didn’t spin anymore.

    Great explanation... everyone deserves Kundalini energy but it is best to remove the programmings in our minds first before opening up the Kundalini... Kundalini magnifies whatever we have in our mind. If there are a lot of fear, shame and guilt (programmed by Church) it will be magnified as well. Kundalini will open up automatically after we have clarified our minds from programming/culture.

    I've been getting this since i was a kid. It used to happen before I'd get sleep paralysis, recently iv been looking into astral projection and finding during meditation ive been getting this too followed by a strange feeling of being streched then a sensation of floating but also feeling "dense" like my mass has increased 10000x at the same time. Iv had the tingling vibrations a few times trying to obe in the past, but recently I've been stuck in this floating dense feeling. Is this normal? 😅

    Hi Ben, or anyone else who may know....I have a back & neck injury & have been meditating every day for the past yr , which has helped me IMMENSELY, but have to lay down flat (and straight) while meditating. Im not looking to astral travel & have been using it to "heal" many of the health issues I've suffered from since a child.. Am I wasting my time doing it this way or is there a way someone with back problems can meditate sitting up? Ive tried several different ways while sitting & have had to end my med. early from the discomfort. Thank u for posting such helpful videos😘🤗2all😇

    So I had my first “experience” very recently, I’ve been practicing meditation on and off for 10+ years, due to the fact it helps me get to sleep, but then I started noticing actual progress and I’ve been hooked ever since. But the other night my hole body went into euphoria like it was weightless, I started seeing images and spinning like you said, to the point where it felt like my head and face slowly felt like it was being pulled upward, I was kinda scary and I could’ve kept going but I didn’t want to, is that what you mean by safe practice? It was the most intense experience I’ve been through and of course I live in a small town so everyone just thinks I’m crazy lol, but if someone can reach out to me I’d like to speak about it with someone who has experienced this as welll

    I've been using guided meditations for reality shifting for a while and I've had some experiences that I can't explain. I have felt itching but it's weird because normal itching goes away on it's own when you ignore it but *twice* it happened to me that a burning itch was all around my body and wouldn't go away, it only stopped when I stopped meditating and if I started again the itch would appear again. I have also experienced feeling like I'm moving extremely fast, so much that I feel vibrating to the point it gets uncomfortable in my ear, the sensation gradually disappeared both times it happened
    Have you heard of something like that? If you have, why does it happen? what does it mean?

    Every once in a while I will wake up early in the morning and while my eyes are closed I will see like a rippling water that is either electric blue or purple colour. When this happens I often feel like I am spinning. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Is there a power here that I can harness? And last week when I was meditating I saw a ball of purple light in the scenter of my vision and then it spread out like a fire in my total vision and danced for a bit then faded out. My physical vision is totally fine and I've never needed glasses. So I don't think it is a medical thing.

    最近正在脚心穴🦶👣双脚之间 体验到全身旋转。有时是其他的脉轮。这种旋转感对我来说是超级舒适的 忘了一开始吓不吓人 但感觉一直都是挺美妙 极其解脱的体验。说到底 冥想🧘‍♀️不就是为了体验到这种旋转感和美妙感吗 当然各有各的私人理解和体验❤ 我对这种旋转的理解是 处于脉轮的中心 有时是一个脉轮 有时多个脉轮 但脚心穴的中心能量体验最为强烈 因为它涉及全身的旋转,以至头顶,感到全身舒畅。
    博主说是左右脉轮平衡而达到中心脉轮,是赞同的,因为于个人体验而言,确是如此,
    但不恐怖哦
    而且很美妙 超级舒适
    感到终于回家的体验❤❤❤❤❤🙏

    • @Alex-bn7et
      @Alex-bn7et Місяць тому

      @kis4659 The first time it happened - yes, totally. But I started enjoying it, and now the spinning begins at the very first seconds of meditation, or I can say at the 3rd-ish breath. And it's not confusing as when you're having vertigo feeling like you'll fall. It's rather in a clear direction. It's like you are inside a spinning top. It's actually a pleasant feeling once you get used to it, and it doesn't catch you by surprise anymore.
