Apparently one of the signs of Kundalini rising is the feeling of not fitting in. I feel better now.
There are many other signs as well.
We live in a very low period. Psychologists usually associate mental illness with many forms of spiritual awakenings. How can they understand if they are not spiritually receptive? Happy for you Jeff. i think many of us here have gone thru similar experiences. We can not explain all the turmoil and joy that we have felt in terms that most of those around us can relate to. Old souls have a lot of psychic energy percolating below the surface... all to wake us up again to our true selves and our destiny in this life--- to return back to the place we came from and awaken to our true existence.
Seems there's lots of folks that have found bad side effects, psychosis for one would be a hard one to determine. There's some very strange stories out there.
