Pablo and all,

Here are two instances from personal experience which could possibly 
give some elucidation.

During the meditation I was spontaneously overwhelmed by a strong, 
persisting fraternal feeling towards a friend in trouble. The result 
was strong inflow of energy, effects of which lasted for few months 
and expressed themselves as strong sense of tender power, good health 
and fearlessness.

During another meditation I equally spontaneously stopped the 
breathing, the result of which was strong inflow of burning energy 
which caused strong pain.

Therefore, I would say that when our consciousness is raised to the 
Buddhic level it somehow automatically awakens Kundalini of that 
level. We probably begin to experience such instances as blessings 
and sign-posts in which direction we should develop to achieve more 
permanent touch with that level of consciousness.

But, warning, these are just words of an amateur. :)

Warmest regards,
Anton
