Dear Gregor,
Welcome to the K-list! And welcome all other newcomers!
Meditation is, of course, one of the primary "triggers" to Kundalini, and you
seem to have had a classic initial experience. We all react somewhat
differently to the energy. Some people do, indeed become super sensitive to
sounds. Our "filters" become more permeable, and therefore we hear on a more
intense level.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome seems to be fairly common among K-ites. For a poll
on the subject, see: http://kundalini-gateway.org/polls/po_heal2.html
No one really knows yet whether K causes CFS or the reverse--it can happen
both ways. There have been cases where Kundalini energy seems to have cured
people of various diseases. It also may be a sign that our lives are being
lived at too heavy a pace and we need to slow down. > And every time I meditate, even for a minute, I find noises extremely

Some experts say that once your K has awakened, you no longer need to
meditate or do other spiritual practices. For instance, Swami Shivom Tirth
in *A Guide to Shaktipat*, writes:
"Once Shakti is awakened...,,,we do not advocate any sort of spiritual
practices but propose a passivity and surrender to the spontaneity of all
active energy....You may wonder that I am speaking against some systems of
spiritual practices which, in fact, is not true. I simply want to state here
that if you continue to be interested in such a system, even after the
awakening of your Shakti, it is because of your attachment with it (the
system). Such attachments have their origin in the accumulated effects of
past deeds. The awakened Shakti is capable of thinning them out by their
manifestation into action. You may even continue to follow two types of your
practices for some time, but it is certain that the practices performed with
the feeling of doership will gradually be substituted by those without it."
p.77/78
Emotional release is, of course, very common with K.

It's pretty common to be frightened--especially at first and especially when
the experience has been painful. Try to stop worrying. Fighting the energy
and being afraid of it causes more problems. Surrendering to the energy--and
accepting whatever it brings, seems to correlate with an easier time of it.
I'm not saying this is easy to do--even for those of us who have had a
comparatively easy time of it. Just be aware that many have had painful
experiences, including Gopi Krishna and Krishnamurti. They both went on to
be very influential.
Again, welcome to the K-list! I hope the posts here will help you feel less
alone.
Love, Hillary
