Kundalini energy problems

QUESTION: Masters I became initiated by an Indian spiritual “Guru”. A few years later I realized it was a mistake and that I disconnected from my own essence out of fear. Now, I am trying to regain myself, but am feeling lost because of the rising kundalini energy that got opened up in me doesn’t seem to allow me to be present in my body. Is this something that I can heal in this life, or must I endure the consequences for the rest of this incarnation? I miss myself. I am very sad, anxious and fearful now. I never used to feel this way. ~Michael, United States

ANSWER: Raising your Kundalini, the central energy line within the physical body, makes it easy to connect with all the nonphysical aspects of your soul. If you do not take care to directly control the stream of energy, it can take over your conscious mind – making you susceptible to any energy source around, from inside and outside. Spending time “floating” around in the ether is like being constantly on a psychedelic drug that prevents you from being grounded in the physical reality. This gives you the sense of disconnection from your body.

You are still connected with your essence in that you are your essence; that is, you are a soul having a human experience. Your soul never disconnects from the lives it has chosen. You have lost your way because you sense you can have no control over your destiny with your Kundalini open. That is not the case. You can learn to control the energy and use it for spiritual growth.

The process of reconnecting to your sanity, or feeling a part of the physical world again, is re-evaluating what you know and what you believe. You have stepped into a very powerful sports car and have pushed the accelerator all the way to the floor – you need to learn to control the speed to a manageable degree.

First step is recognizing who you are as a soul. You are a piece of Source energy and have all the same powers and abilities. When you accept that as true, you can then start to use those powers to create the human life you desire. In a meditative state, take each one of the out-of-control issues in your life and examine it. Understand why you fear it, and know that you are the one holding it to you and that it can be released.

Release each hindrance in your life and gather strength and wisdom from your soul through the Kundalini. Attack each unhappy, negative thought as soon as it appears, and tell it that you do not need it. You draw to yourself those things you need or wish to experience for your growth. Once you learn from them, you can send them packing.
