Unfortunately, I'm limited with my opinion having only read one book about 50 years ago along with some miscellaneous tidbits from several authors. The book was about Gopi Krishna and his challenging experiences of Kundalini awakening. I don't recall much. However, I did meet a Kundalini guru, Yogi Bhajan, but was not drawn to him for spiritual guidance
I'm not sure what you mean by "categorize" that I apparently caused you to think. Possibly my reference to "sat, chit, ananda." If you're qualifying or suggesting sat, chit ananda as a category, I would say that there are only 2 catagories from my perspective. Either "congested" Kundalini (restricted circulation/resistance) or the opposite: unrestricted circulation. Sat, chit, ananda which refers to infinite power, knowledge and bliss (an intuitive state beyond thinking).
Quite frankly, I feel that Scott has demonstrated a credible talent to articulate his experience well. I've not had his experience, however I've become reasonably aware of the basic mechanics and can confirm Scott's "maturing opinion" of his own experience from the little that I've read of his life. In my opinion, his writing & continuing development is rooted in 3 essential components of the divine process... reflection, integration & surrender.
BTW, my Kundalini experience eventually led me to focus more on the destination than the journey.
I think I've been dealing with unblocking the restricted energy for the past 4 years since I had a very sudden, intense opening. It has been a journey, but the greatest adventure of my life.
Having had an unsolicited spontaneous kundalini (sat, chit ananda) experience in 1975, I encourage you to learn about manonash and the purpose of life.
Hey Livio - I also went through an intense Kundalini awakening over 4 years ago. You can read a bit out it here. I recommend this book for better understanding how to work with it and you might also find this account from Gopi Krishna interesting
Thanks Ken. I will check out. For now my purpose is to evolve and contribute. As my understanding grows, I'm sure my perspectives will change. I will read up on Manonash
Meditation is powerful. I started doing it in group settings in 2010, when I got sober. Iâve mainly focused on Vipassana Buddhist meditation. Since then Iâve been on and off but I absolutely notice that when Iâm on, even if only doing 5 minutes a morning, my thoughts feel less erratic and fragmented; I maintain more inner calm and peace. I need to get back into it. Itâs been a while. Last year I went 6 months where I did an hour of silent sitting every morning. But itâs a grooved practice like anything else.
Scott, There is a lot to unpack here. Good job. D
Thanks Dave : )

I can relate to a similar opening in my heart, during a dyad based retreat. Not sure it qualifies as Kundalini, though...
Applied! ;) Thanks, Scott. Keep writing.
Thanks man! I'm excited to hopefully work together

Ken, what's the best resource to read about a Kundalini experience?
I went through quite some strange opening experiences, but I have never really tried to categorise them. You led me to think it might be useful :)

Scott,
I appreciate your evolution, actually âinvolutionâ and find your contribution to be heart-felt and quite correct from my limited perspective.
I just read this Ken. Very powerful. My heart pulls me in this direction and there is no doubt more to be let go of https://trustmeher.org/meher-baba-messages/man-o-nash
A quieter mind also crates space to begin the experimentation process of taking more reality authorship (manifestation). â¤ï¸
