Treating Kundalini Syndrome | 7 Effective Tips
Kundalini Syndrome Symptoms
Grounding Kundalini Energy
Although raising Kundalini Shakti (Energy) is the goal of many practitioners and yogis, sometimes if kundalini has prematurely risen or if the energy is too much to handle, the very opposite is needed. The energy needs to be grounded and Kundalini needs to be brought back down. From time to time I am approached to help in such situations and as I mentioned in the article, Kundailni Shakti Help and Advise, I would put together a guide for how to deal with this type of Kundalini Syndrome and how to manage such kundalini problems. So in this article I would like to offer you some ways to deal with this condition and reduce the affects of kundalini if they are getting unmanageable.
Before I present the tips below I would like to direct you to 2 articles which will go long way in helping you avoid Kundalini Syndrome in the first place, by ensuring that Kundalini awakening takes place is a safe and natural way. These 2 article are, 10 Guidelines for Kundalini Yoga Practice and Dangers of Kundalini Yoga. These 2 articles will give you the right way to approach Kundalini Yoga and Kundalini Awakening.
In general, the majority of people suffering from Kundalini Syndrome, who have approached me, have practiced Chakra Meditation exclusively and excessively. So please we weary of doing that. Don’t just focus on doing Chakra Meditation and Chakra Striking. Instead focus on doing a balanced yoga workout and living a balanced spiritual life. This will help avoid the issue of premature kundalini awakening. Also, there are other tips in the above articles to help you avoid kundalini problems such as abstaining from drugs, etc, which are definitely worth knowing about.
Here below are 7 useful ways to help control kundalini energy if indeed she has gotten out of hand and is causing your grief.
Treating Kundalini Syndrome Problems:
1. Be with Nature:
The essential goal with regard to grounding kundalini and alleviating kundalini syndrome symptoms has to do with bringing down the energy and lowering the frequency of it’s vibration. So some of what is going to be suggested is going to mirror what you would do when trying to heal and balance the Root Chakra, and in that regard, reconnecting with nature and earth is very helpful.
So spend time in nature, especially near trees and the earth, and you will find this very useful in bringing down the energy. Try to be as close to nature as possible, so sitting up against trees or walking barefoot on the grass is what you should be trying to do.
Along the same lines, gardening or other landscaping activity which gets your hands dirty are also highly recommended. Go ahead and do some potting and weeding. Not only will you get your garden in shape, you will also start to manage kundalini.
2. Do Physical Work:
As indicated above, the objective is to get yourself back into the body and reconnected to the earth and one of the good ways of doing that is with physical labor. So if you are suffering from too much kundalini, then counter it with such laborious tasks. Anything that requires physical work will help. Carpentry, construction, painting, etc are all good to do. Any interest of yours that also requires physical work is good to do.
3. Do Physical Exercise:
If your condition allows you to exercise, I would certainly recommend doing so. This has the benefits of making you more body oriented as the method above, but in addition it will also help you fight any anxiety the kundalini syndrome might be causing. If you are able to exercise, you will feel more confident about your health and so will not be so stressed and fearful about what is happening in the body.
4. Eat Full Meals:
Proper and regular diet is always recommended for good health, and in the case of dealing with excessive kundalini energy, eating bigger heavier meals will help you feel more grounded and settled. Again, as you can see, the goal is to feel more in your body and more connected to earth and your life, and food is certainly a strong source of this connection.
5. Avoid Stimulants:
If kundalini energy is out of control then you do not want to stimulate her further. So it is important to abstain as much as possible from stimulating foods and drugs. So during this time, alcohol, drugs, coffee, tea, etc should be avoided.
6. Take a Break from Your Spiritual Practice:
As tip number 5 above, you want to stop stimulating the energy and so it is important to take break from your spiritual practice until you feel you can better handle the energy and the situation. This step here is a very personal decision, but generally speaking, if you are suffering from kundalini syndrome, then your practice might very well be out of balance, and so it needs to be re-evaluated anyway.
Often, the aspirant is doing too much mantra/chakra meditation or perhaps is listing to Binaural Beats, etc and not balancing their practice with physical yoga and simple spiritual activities, so in these cases it is certainly recommended to stop what they are doing and establish a more sound and balanced practice.
7. Rest and Relaxation:
Sometimes kundalini is working within you and you just need to relax and give her a chance to do what needs to be done. In these cases you need to trust her intelligence and give your body a chance to go through the cleansing and purification taking place. In general, being relaxed is very important when dealing with kundalini, as getting anxious and worried about kundalini awakening symptoms only makes the situation worse. This is often why in the past, kundalini yoga was practiced in an ashram or monastery, where you have the time and space for proper kundalini awakening to take place.
Another good way to relax, which also helps to calm kundalini is to take warm baths.
Summary of Treating Kundalini Syndrome:
Kundalini awakening is a very personal journey and the experiences vary considerably form person to person (read Kundalini Awakening Symptoms). So you have to listen carefully to your own body and heart to see what is the right course for you. If though the energy has become too much for you and the symptoms are causing you trouble, then the above guidelines can help you get things back under control. Some of this will be trial and error, but in general the above tips have worked well for others to whom I have recommended them.
If you are suffering from kundalini syndrome, worrying will not help, so try and trust the process that is taking place, while at the same time acting intelligently and taking steps outlined above to ground the energy. There are even more ways to help bring the energy down and in a future article, I will share those with you as well.
If you are someone who has dealt with Kundalini Syndrome and have overcome the difficulties, please do share with us any tips that worked well for you.
I had a very active meditation practice for twenty years, and last year experienced terrible “kundalini syndrome.” What I now believe is that this syndrome was actually a spiritual attack.
I want to reiterate that Satan is actively working against those who love God. He used my love of God to trick me; when I was in meditation, he spoke my name in a voice that sounded like thunder. He made me think that God had spoken my name. He can imitate voices–even the voice you would expect from God. He imitated the voice of Jesus as well, claiming that he was Jesus. This led down a road of absolute terror, where he would make me feel all kinds of things in my body–“kundalini syndrome”.
I prayed the Lord’s Prayer and simply stated, “Jesus will you help me?” This enabled Jesus to begin the process of extricating the devil from my life. When I prayed these words, I stopped feeling the terror. I believe he needs our invitation and permission to begin his process, and it is a process. Satan does not give up quickly–he disappears for awhile, and comes back when you least expect it. Just remember to ask Jesus for help. Also, go to a psychiatrist; they won’t believe that you are hearing real voices, but the medicine they can prescribe will help. It won’t erase the presence of bad spirits, but at least it will be a little easier to ignore them.
you are being attacked by your own fears and if you are truly feeling the energies then that means you are afraid of Satan and you are feeling fear based upon what you stated you thought was happening. You have to face the low-vibrational energy within yourself but not negatively, by realizing if that was a part of use it no longer is necessary and was coping mechanisms for dealing with things that you couldn’t face in the past because you didn’t know how then you must except it as it is and move forward with the goal of keeping yourself at a high Vibration. First you must recognize the low-vibration ( it’s easy to do because once you become high vibrational a weight of energy is lift it off of you ) connecting with the feeling of it and then raising it through thoughts of positivity and gratefulness for the thing in your life including the very existence you experience as well as the very energy that you can connect with which should be seen as responsibilities because that’s what they are, your responsibility to the universe to translate gods energy and heal others not a gift. One thing must not be confused though, if you are thinking with your mind you are not translating, if you are making an opinion you are not translating, and lastly if the energy is not speaking through you are not translating… you must fully connect with the energy with trust and without thought and the answers are given to you, focus should be on the energy not on the mind or thought.

You must realize that it was a part of you that is no longer necessary and was just a coping mechanism for dealing with things that you couldn’t face in the past because you didn’t know how at the time. You are more capable of facing things now without the coping mechanisms and you must except it as it is and move forward with the goal of keeping yourself at a high Vibration.

I had a very seviour problem of this kind, my body was shutting down of execution. I didn’t know what it was at first. Modern medicine basically call it nervous system disorder and there is no cure except psychotherapy or psychotropic pills for anxiety. I think that many people will agree that kundalini syndrome happens also because of unsolved emotional problems, so the therapy should be a good idea. My life was saved by the great acupuncture therapist. The syndromes didn’t leave completely, about 50% enough for me to function. Then one doctor told me that hard gym exercise will change my brain chemistry and sort of “reboot” my nervous system. The kind what really speeds up your heartbeat and breathing and makes you sweat for 40 min a day. I had to start very slowly (3min a day) because my problem was triggered easily by muscle tightening but I pushed through it and now the problem is reduced by 90%.
So do the workout, eat, be kind to yourself and face your repressed emotions. Kundalini will cause the stagnation and nervous system disorder if you have forbidden needs and feelings which are run by your suppressed fear and other negative emotions.
Hi ,
My first sentence should be: “I had a very seviour problem of this kind, my body was shutting down of exhaustion.” I said by accident: execution.
Hi! Can I contact you? I’m going through a similar thing. My nervous system keeps shutting down through nervous breakdowns. I’m highly sensitive to stress and have empathy that is debilitating. I feel like lots of my issues have been resolved or at least burned through, but my nervous system is shot. What did the acupuncturist do? Was it energy work? I’m scared of energy work because I don’t think my system can handle it. Thanks for the tip on exercise I will try it out. I feel like my nervous system is at 20% capacity.
Also what do you mean by forbidden needs? Like unconscious behavior? Addictions?
1.)do research of cure of kundalini syndrome through reiki tummo .(its free on youtube) but i didn’t know is it safe.
My life got saved by it .
2)Speak god name(krsna) when in problem with surrender because during spiritual emergency we get conmected to god as we progress in spiritual journey and krsna is the most supreme god ( he is very good).
3 .be relax .if u will be tensed it will cause serve symptoms .even just by relaxing it prevents nervous symptoms.
4. Sit in one position (by taking support of chair) n sleep straight.it cause to help energy to flow properly .without getting stuck.
5.i will pray for u
6.do one work at time .do your work stop selflessly without thinking of what u will get because every other being life is responsible on u .and there’s nothing good(positive) nothing bad (negative).forgive all.behave good with all people.
Drink water as kundalini is fire .n water is just opposite of it.
