Most people think sexual energy is just about sex.

Ancient traditions knew it as "kundalini", a life force that can literally rewire your brain and nervous system.

Modern somatic therapy proves they were right.

Here's how to harness this primal energy: 🧵 Image
Image
Kundalini literally means "coiled serpent" in Sanskrit.

It's dormant life-force energy sitting at the base of your spine.

The same energy behind sexual arousal is identical to what we call spiritual awakening.

We've just been taught to waste it through porn and sex. Image
This primal energy lies dormant in most people, blocked by stress, trauma, and unconscious living.

Once awakened, it begins to rise through the spine, moving through seven energy centers.

Before dismissing it as woo-woo, know that Kundalini is also neurological ↓ Image
Kundalini activates ancient parts of your brain (limbic system).

It triggers neuroplastic changes, i.e. rewiring how you process emotion, memory, intuition, and awareness.

Over time, you become more connected, calm, and creative.

So, how to harness it? Image
The bridge between trauma healing & kundalini awakening are the neurogenic tremors.

Your body naturally wants to shake.

Animals do this instinctively after surviving a threat, they tremor to discharge the stress.

Humans suppress this reflex. That's why we stay stuck.
I discovered Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE) during my burnout in grad school.

Simple movements that trigger involuntary shaking.

Within minutes, my nervous system started discharging years of stored tension.

It felt erotic, alive, electric, but not sexual.
The shaking isn't random.

It activates your reptilian brain and limbic system, the primitive parts that modern life has shut down.

These ancient brain regions control creativity, intuition, and life force.

Kundalini awakening literally turns them back on. Image
On top of tremors, controlled breathing patterns can induce non-ordinary states where old emotions surface and resolve.

Holotropic breathwork puts you in a "dream-like" state where trauma becomes accessible.

It's like therapy at warp speed. Image
The goal with harnessing your sexual energy is integration where that wild kundalini fire becomes a steady river of vitality flowing through your daily life.

Let's talk about how to achieve this integration: Image
→ TRE (trauma releasing tremors) ↓

TRE releases trauma held in psoas (a deep core muscle near the base of the spine).

Once the tension is released from this area, people report "heat" running up the spine, involuntary body movements, emotional catharsis, etc.
2) Holotropic breathwork

It can trigger kundalini-like experiences through deep, circular breathing (no pauses between breaths) for 2-3 hours with music.

Never attempt this alone. Work with certified facilitators only.
3) Somatic therapy awakens kundalini by releasing trauma trapped in your nervous system.

It works "bottom-up", freeing frozen energy through body awareness, not forcing it upward through intense practices.

Master this method in my free course: bodymindaccelerator.com
I've seen clients redirect awakened kundalini energy into explosive creative projects, laser-sharp focus at work, heightened intuitive abilities, etc.

As Napoleon Hill says: "...it's the energy of all geniuses." Image
The bottom line is, real transformation is coiled at the base of your spine, waiting for you to give it permission to move.

Your sexual energy is your spiritual energy.

Stop wasting it and start transmuting it into something bigger than yourself.

If your nervous system has been stuck in survival mode, you need a reset.

After years of stress, trauma, and modern life, it's forgotten how to truly relax.

Here are 16 specific techniques to reset it completely: 🧵

1) Neurogenic Tremoring (TRE) Image
Image
Animals shake after escaping predators to discharge trauma.

Humans suppress this reflex and that's why we stay stuck.

Simple exercises trigger involuntary shaking that releases decades of stored stress from your nervous system.

Watch this ↓
2) Grounding (20+ minutes barefoot)

Studies show direct skin contact with earth transfers electrons that neutralize inflammation and change blood viscosity.

Your red blood cells literally stop clumping together.

"Touch some grass" advice is free medicine. Image

Tech companies hired neuroscientists to weaponize your survival instincts.

They won.

You check your phone every 12 minutes—believing you're in control.

Here's how to escape the digital prison (with depth psychology):
We were hunter-gatherers for 290,000 years. Farmers for 10,000. Digital beings for 20.

Your brain didn't get the update.

Inside you lives an "animal mind" that scans for threats, mates, and resources.

Your phone triggers all three.
This animal mind doesn't think in words. It reads symbols.

Every icon on your phone is a symbol it instantly recognizes:

• Dating apps = potential mates
• Banking apps = survival resources
• Social media = tribal hierarchy
• Food delivery = immediate comfort

Your rational mind sees apps, your animal mind sees life and death.

The hidden reason you can’t relax or perform at your best...

Your style of attention.

Psychologist Les Fehmi proved that this ONE pattern causes 70% of chronic stress, anxiety, and burnout.

What it is, and his 3 methods to break free: 🧵 Image
Image
Stress isn’t just “in your head.”

It’s your nervous system reacting to how you focus attention.

Dr. Les Fehmi found that when attention stays locked in a narrow focus, the brain gets stuck in fight-or-flight. Image
Your attention style regulates your autonomic nervous system.

• Narrow = sympathetic dominance (fight/flight)

• Diffuse = parasympathetic activation (rest/digest)

This alters hormones, immune function, and the perception of pain. Image

As a therapist, I hate to confess this, but...

You’re mentally trapped in a chronic stress loop that keeps your nervous system stuck in “survival mode.”

After 2000+ hours of clinical training, here's how to finally soothe anxiety, rebuild immunity, and avoid burnout… 🧵 Image
Image
• 280 million people have depression
• 301 million people have anxiety disorders
• 75%-90% of people seeking healthcare are due to chronic stress

What is chronic stress?

It is a physical and mental state that keeps your body in fight or flight mode.
So how does stress happen?

Stress happens when your body releases cortisol.

Small doses of stress help you focus and perform better.

But the problem is when you're constantly stressed, you get "stuck" in fight-or-flight. Image

Childhood trauma is the hidden root of all disease, addiction, and suffering.

Since your therapist won't show you this...

Here's your built-in trauma release system to calm your anxiety, increase your stress tolerance, and soothe your nervous system for good:

Dr. Peter Levine discovered something shocking while watching wild animals recover.

Even after life-threatening attacks, they never develop PTSD.

But humans and zoo animals do.

The difference? Animals complete their stress cycle. We don't. Here's how: Image
Image
After escaping danger, wild animals shake, tremble, and breathe deeply.

This discharges stress hormones and resets their nervous system naturally.

Humans have this same mechanism.
We've just forgotten how to use it.

The most important skill to master in 2025:

Self-Regulation.

Without it, you'll stay lost, anxious, and stuck making the same mistakes for years.

After 2000+ hours of clinical training as a therapist, here's how to finally take command of your nervous system: 🧵 Image
Image
What is self-regulation?

Self-regulation = your brain’s ability to manage thoughts, emotions, and actions under stress.

It’s what separates high-functioning people from everyone else.

And it’s trainable, if you understand the science. ↓
Most important is the prefrontal cortex.

This region regulates impulse control, focus, and emotional balance.

When stress overwhelms you, the amygdala hijacks the system, shutting down logical thought.

That’s why you say or do things you regret when emotional.
