Article Synopsis
- Traditional spiritual texts note spontaneous experiences during meditation, particularly linked to the concept of kundalini, which is described as a rising energy in the body.
- Previous studies of spontaneous experiences have focused on different religious practices, but research on kundalini in specific traditions has been limited, often concentrating on extreme outcomes.
- A new study involving meditators from the Ananda Marga tradition found positive mood shifts to be the most common experience during meditation, with rising sensations often described as kundalini, though these experiences did not correlate with meditation frequency or mindfulness traits.
