Aaron,
Do you think it important for people to know that the Kundalini experience is one that should not be forced? I knew of several people who were so into having that experience that they were doing practices that brought about a change too quickly for their nervous systems to integrate. Kundalini experiences for me were brought about after a lot of Reiki practice and work with a Mystery school. The experiences were powerful, but gentle, because I had been doing the preparation work for years. It is more about letting the experiences come naturally than trying to be the one who can say, "Oh yeah, I had a Kundalini experience too!" I experienced that attitude when I was hanging around a lot of metaphysical people. It was the thing to do and those who hadn't had one felt left out, as if they weren't advanced or spiritual enough.
What do you think? You've had far more experience with it than I have.
