Kundalini is a Hindu word which describes or attempts to describe the sacred transformative element that awakens consciousness. Kundalini is also described as a sacred, spiritual or creative energy which when activated within the individual 'rises' to 'erupt' through the persons energy 'vents' or chakras awakening 'self-realization' or the integrated force of the individuals physiological, mental, emotional and religious selves. This type of awakening may also be called shamanic awakening, ascension, transformation, awakening or release of the energy body.
Many people exploring the BDSM lifestyle encounter unique and unusual phenomenon relating to what we call 'space'. A submissive who spontaneously enters space for the first time will frequently recount transcendent and transforming and/or radical mental, emotional, interpersonal, psychic, spiritual and lifestyle thoughts and experiences. The power of the experience can be so intense that the individual may retreat into a state of confusion and panic as space or energy 'subsides' from them. Frequently their initial experience is involuntary or spontaneous. Following this first 'eruption' or awakening some submissives begin to encounter or experience profound subtle changes and realizations in their life and viewpoint.
In addition some submissives encounter or note physical phenomenon which are strange or different from anything they have encountered before. Some of these phenomenon may present themselves as uncontrollable muscular twitches, spasms or cramps following a scene or intense encounter with their Dominant. These sensations may also include itching, vibration or 'quaking' of the body, prickling of the skin, goose bumps or the sensation of energy 'crawling' along the surface of their skin. They may actually 'feel' an immense energy rush or flow coursing through their body, some submissives may even encounter the expression of this energy as actual electricity which may further manifest as being 'charged' or through the release of static charges.
Adapting to these new 'flows' of energy or energy release frequently takes many years as the body quite literally adapts to new processes from the inside out. During this adaptive process many submissives can experience symptoms which cannot be traced to any direct illness, disease or physical problem. Many submissives within this process may find that they are diagnosed as having some form of epilepsy, restless legs syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fiber Myalgia as well as some unidentifiable mental psychosis. It should be noted here that these diagnosis may be entirely accurate within the framework of how science views the body as separate from the mind or spiritual aspects. Any suggested diagnostic medical path that the individual believes in should be followed by the individual to aid in reducing or alleviating some of these symptoms. Many submissives will find that these symptoms occur in waves and frequently seem to diminish as the transformation of their life (frequently from vanilla to alternative lifestyle) progresses. Other symptoms of note are digestive problems, headaches, numbness and neck or back pain. Buzzing or ringing in the head (sometimes also a symptom of high-blood pressure) Mental symptoms may include intense emotional outbursts, a reduction of emotional control, rapid mood swings, strong episodes of grief, fear, rage and depression with no apparent source or trigger point.
Many submissives may also note a distinctive and profound 'healing state' which temporarily frees them from pervasive long term physical ailments or disease during the actual experiencing of a spatial high or 'rising'. They may also experience blissful sensations in the head, heightened awareness including acuity of the senses, and mystical experiences (such as a sense that they are communing with their identification of the god presence) If this type of mystical state appears to challenge their existing or long term belief system then they may feel threatened or conflicted which can lead to forms of psychosis or self-grandiosity. As a submissive proceeds through this 'self realization' process or as some call it 'actualization' they frequently experience sensations of intense ecstasy, bliss, intervals of tremendous joy and serenity. Their psychic experiences may include ESP, out-of-body or astral travels, spontaneous repressed or regressive memory releases, a conceptual awareness of the 'presence', intense and sometimes prophetic dreams, visions and healing powers. Many will also note a 'freeing' of their creative energy which may be expressed in music, poetry, art, writing etc. Many express a new and intense interest in spiritual truths, self-awareness and expression, intensified understanding and sensitivity as well as a compelling need to pursue further insights into their inner essence. They also frequently find themselves 'feeling into' or attaining energy or frequency alignment with their Dominant.
BDSM and D/s activities and experiences tend to center within the two most creative systems of the human body, the human reproductive system which is at the highest energy creative level as it deals with the creation of life itself and the human intellectual system. Within BDSM activities it is common to challenge the mind or push or press the mind beyond the normal functioning 'range', forcing the mind into new territory, new worlds, new experiences, releasing new thoughts, ideas, understandings.
Though this article is written expressing 'submissive' space, this 'space' is not actually the domain of the submissive. Within the BDSM community the term 'space' is simply commonly related to or applying to submissives. This eruption of self-realization, spontaneous experience of awakening or 'space' occurs to both Dominant and submissive equally and all the information noted above applies equally to all.
