KUNDALINI known as The Serpent - and it's SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Many individuals whose Kundalini has been unexpectedly unleashed DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING, and the prevailing social ignorance about this multidimensional transformative process makes it hard to find medical or alternative health practitioners or spiritual advisors who recognize the symptoms, particularly when they are strongly physical.
Many people know that the risen Kundalini flings open gates to all sorts of mystical, paranormal and magical vistas many have absolutely no idea unless they stumble across it quite by accident, few realize it can also dramatically impact the body.
A large percentage of our friends and loved ones exchanges experiences of long bouts of strange illness as well as radical mental, emotional, interpersonal, psychic, spiritual and lifestyle changes.
Over and again we hear stories of frustrating, sometimes desperate visits to doctors, healers, counsellors, who neither understood nor were able to help with the shifting aches, pains and problems catalyzed by raging Kundalini.

• Individuals who are having experiences of an obvious spiritual nature are usually more able to integrate and benefit from the process, regardless of how they may label it. Those who experience what seems to be illness or weird psychic phenomena often are very alarmed until they understand that they are not sick or crazy, even the enlightening and beautiful experiences can be so powerful that people doubt their sanity.
  This is why the all the information, validation and experiences shared is so valuable.
  The following list is common in manifestations of the risen Kundalini or awakening process:
  · Muscle twitches, cramps or spasms.
  
  · Energy rushes or immense electricity circulating the body
  
  · Itching, vibrating, prickling, tingling, stinging or crawling sensations
  
  · Intense heat or cold
