Tannhauser,
I too have suffered horrendously from kundalini after an ugly awakening 12 years ago. It has been truly awful. However, I found an amazing specialist in treating kundalini who has helped me enormously, Tom Adams at http://www.easternhealingarts.com
I hope you check him out. He can also help you sort through the trauma Catholicism has heaped on you.
I have also found judicious, carefully controlled use of the long-acting benzodiazepine Valium to be helpful in settling my energy for about 20 hours at a time.
Also, please check out this revolutionary new device that, through audiovisual stimulation, is designed to help people suffering from terrible chronic pain, severe insomnia, neuropathic pain, anxiety and more. It has been tested on 1,300 people including members of the military and of course in hospitals. It will be available at the end of the year. http://www.sana.io
I too am also fed up with the well-intended but useless ‘spiritual’ advice out there. ‘Breathe more deeply, engage with nature, let go of anger’…blah blah blah. This is a very serious ailment, and it needs hardcore professional treatment to heal. Standing barefoot in the grass isn’t going to do a damn thing.
