People who just go with the flow, and listen to whatever is on the radio at the time really irritate me.

That sounds like you're really really ungrounded. I've heard of someone with extremely bad kundalini shocking people in the same manner. You need an electrical circuit to use kundalini effectively which means you need ground. I can tell when I'm ungrounded because electronics malfunction around me and the lights flicker on a routine basis. When it's really bad I've turned on and off lights by intention alone.

I use a grounding visualization out of Debra Katz' books, and I have to recreate the ground every day on top of constantly visualizing excess energy going into the ground. There are many good grounding visualizations out there, but mine wasn't very successful until I visualized a huge grounding cord connected to my aura/root chakra. Sometimes I ask for help from angels to ground at times and I've gotten help from devas too. On top of that, pick up some physical activity that puts you in your body, ideally running or walking. Spend time in nature or sit up against a tree and try to energetically ground with the tree. Many people including illuminati believe you can talk to trees so I generally try to ask and be respectful about using it for a ground. I would also stop all meditation until you can properly ground yourself as it adds fuel to the fire. Concentration will do the same thing, and sometimes I think I shouldn't be on this board at all because I'm pushing my luck .

I have energy that comes out of my hands at times, and I do think it's more common when kundalini is bad. It may be related to excess energy or you're sending out healing energy unconciously which I do when I think about wanting to heal something. Supposedly prickly type energy in your hands can also be a sign of a blockage, but I can't remember where/what .

I've also gotten into the habit of eating root vegetables every day which I feel helps (it is recommended in Aghora II Kundalini.. a tantric book). Sugar can spike kundalini as well so diet is important. When you're handling tremendous energies and clearing blockages your judgment will be impaired inbetween moments where you'll seem to channel genius out of your mouth, so be very mindful and take it easy/low stress. Also remember the genius is not yours. You are merely a vehicle for it's expression. I would also try to keep an unconditionally loving stance towards everything as much as possible. See them as the divine expressions of god. Being negative with kundalini makes it so much harder, and you'll already be processing a lot of your own blockages anyway. Depending on the chakra you're clearing will depend on some emotional things you feel. Don't be surprised if you feel extremely arrogant one day and condescending towards everyone and the next day you feel like a worthless speck of dirt. I got into the habit of laughing at it recently and just thinking of how silly it was when we were all equal divine expressions of god and it doesn't seem as powerful. You -have- to accept whatever you feel. Be with it. You can't suppress it. You have to transmute it. Every part of you deserves to be loved.. even the negative. I would read up on this subject because I'm still a neophyte, keeping in mind that the concentration and focus on kundalini will make it worse.

On days where I have bad kundalini I usually feel amazing at first due to the kundalini and then the blockage clearing work kicks in and I feel miserable. Frequently I can't focus to save my life when it's bad too.

Sorry for getting carried away on this thread for something else

Anyway, I'm glad I riled up some people on here just for saying I like Rob Thomas. Thanks for the flattery.

Anyway this is kind of a funny argument. Like, Matchbox 20 is whatever. There are way worse bands out there.

The story is old already. If you're talented, you're talented. Most likely you will be recongnized, if not, move on and realize you suck.

I would also like to point out that Rob Thomas is famous for a reason. The guy can sing, he writes amazing. Get over it.

This ain't over, no not here, not while I still need you around
You don't owe me, we might change
Yeah we just might feel good

(Chorus)
I wanna push you around, well I will, well I will
I wanna push you down, well I will, well I will
I wanna take you for granted, I wanna take you for granted, yeah I will, I will

Well I will

She said I don't know why you ever would lie to me
Like I'm a little untrusting when I think that the truth is gonna hurt ya
And I don't know why you couldn't just stay with me
You couldn't stand to be near me
When my face don't seem to want to shine
'cuz It's a little bit dirty well

Don't just stand there, say nice things to me
I've been cheated I've been wronged you,
And you don't know me, I can't change
I won't do anything at all "

The best bands are the ones that don't have a lot of mainstream, lowest common denominator appeal. Like, Beach House (which is "famous" amongst certain types of people, but I doubt my mom could tell me who they were) easily has the best album of 2010. M83 is better than Matchbox 20, but not as famous. But then again, comparing Beach House/M83 to Matchbox 20 is like comparing apples to oranges anyway.
