Hi r/kundalini. I'm new around here and really don't know my head from my ass about this stuff. I just wanted to run an experience I had a couple or years ago by you all and see what you think about it, if it is relevant to Kundalini at all.

So a couple of years ago, I started therapy. I was struggling a lot with depression and found someone locally practicing that was taking on new patients.

This guy was... different. I realize more now this therapist I was seeing was more of a teacher than a clinical therapist. Don't get me wrong, he has his PhD and is an actual licensed therapist, but he was much more open to spiritual concepts and exploring them then you would typically find in a clinical setting.

So this guy really cracked my head open, and before long I really started to master my thought patterns and improve my quality of life. I started paying less and less attention to the chatter going on in my head and started connecting more with my heart. I was finding peace.

One day, I had this very brief yet powerful experience. I was out for a walk around my apartment complex. It was bright and sunny, and I think it was around spring time. I was practicing a meditation where I just identify the things around me with single words. "Tree", "Bird", "Sky" etc. After a while, my mind was nice and spacious, and a little bored with the exorcise, so I decided to switch to something more feeling-oriented. So I put on some music and just focused on the innate beauty in everything around me without describing the objects in my mind. Basically just trying to appreciate the world like a child would before it forms language. No words to describe things, just how everything feels.

During this exorcise, at the apex of a song I was listening to, I felt a powerful surge of energy surge up from my stomach to my head. It sent ripples through my chest and made my mind and vision almost go completely white. For a moment, my mind went completely silent, and this euphoric high took over. It was kind of like being electrocuted but... in a good way? It's difficult to describe, but basically a surge of raw euphoric bliss washed over me and stuck with me for a moment after.

When I went to go talk to my therapist about this, he suggested I do research on Kundalini. I admit, I dropped the ball and never did. But now I've started seeing that therapist again and have started back up on working on my mental health (The last few years have been hard, and I fell out of practice) and it reminded me of this experience.

What do you all think about this?
