Dear Hilary,
Is is a good thing or a bad thing that my K activated?
The energy seems to be stuck at the bottom of my spine just burning away there?
If I experience pain in my body for the K energy, does that not mean I am doing myself harm?
Why is my K energy so firery?
A Rieke person said my base chakra was broken. How can I fix it?
Gregor.

... On the first meditation without earplugs I felt as if I was being electrocuted and a huge amount of energy was travelling up my spine. One night a few days later I woke up with a tremendous amount of energy travelling out through me, starting at the base of my spine and travelling out through the top of me head. 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 painful for 24 hours afterward. Also the morning after meditation I experience a huge amount of emotional release in the form of anxiety or anger. So I can't meditate anymore
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. Even if I just pray the energy shoots up my spine and I find noises extremely painful for 24 hours. I am scared I have wrecked my nevous system. I am scared of the energy within me. 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
