In the book “The Stormy Search for the Self”, Stanislav Grof, whose wife Christina underwent the dramatic shaktipat experience, gave prominence to increased levels of energy, shaking, memories of traumas, extreme emotions, inner sounds, visions, sexual arousal, and difficulty controlling behaviours. They recommended anyone having these experiences have a medical examination by a clinician knowledgeable about kundalini because of the similarity between these symptoms and indications of psychiatric and medical problems.
According to writers in the field, such practices may, in unfortunate instances, trigger kundalini symptomatology, and lead to states of spiritual emergency. Greyson[70] notes that contemporary western culture is poorly equipped to deal with signs of kundalini activity.

I guess this is where a lot of people come unstuck. I could almost swear that during my psycosis I was able to feel my partners emotions. Something in the manic episode amplifies all of your senses. I would hear voices in my head, not knowing if it is being imagined or if it is real. I would hear a cracking sound like thick paper being torn. The line between reality and imagination was completely blurred to the point of being in a dream world. Coldplay's song Life in technicolor reminds me of this stage.

Mental illness is an altered state of consciousness akin to a trip on your drug of choice.
The world we live in is stranger than anyone can possibly imagine, and that's all I can say about that.
