G'day,

Kundalini related activity is always a possibility when you undertake meditation, energy work, and OBE related practices. This is understandable as they all involve increased energy flow and altered states of consciousness.

Energy blockages, and emotional and psychological problems, will definitely play a part in how kundalini manifests and the symptoms it produces. Ideally, these 'issues' should be dealt with prior to the activation of such a massive evolutionary energy of consciousness.

And yes, having a lot of blockages and issues will make it harder to do any kind of spiritual practice, especially kundalini raising.
