Sjel, could it be that you have something really seriously blocked in your root chakra?
I fully agree that the body-soul connection happens through the spine, through the channel there that Ra describe. I can feel it quite well now, ever since an unmistakable rising kundalini experience during meditation four or five months ago. It happened, interestingly, not long after sorting out some things that were blocked in my lower few chakras. But if you are feeling no energy flow through your spine at all, that suggests it's getting blocked right at the root.
So I googled root chakra blockages and came across this post ( http://www.allgoodthings.com/yoga/chakra/chakra1_3.html ) which I adored, principally because of this line:
"The number one thing you can do to awaken this Chakra is DANCE!"
(The overall post is not that silly, it's actually quite informative, just FYI, lol.)
So I'm a goofy white guy, haven't been able to dance AT ALL, ever, despite being a professional musician with good rhythm. It's totally weird, but for the last six months, I have been dancing like crazy. I tend to love high energy music that's fairly danceable, and one day, I found myself dancing while I was doing chores. Decades of insecurity about it vanished, and somehow, I suddenly had decent moves. It's beginning to dawn on me now how truly strange an experience that has been.
It all started right after some internal acts of forgiveness and reconciliation that I needed to sort out about caregivers who violently abused me when I was a child. I did that, and suddenly started to dance. I think, in my case, it was a side effect, actually, more than the actual cure.
But importantly, not long after that began, I felt the kundalini experience. And I said "Holy $#!%, THAT'S what they're talking about." Now I feel like I am moving in a field of which I am a plugged-in part, a channel through which that energy is flowing both down to meet me, but more importantly, up and into and out of me. It definitely feels like the way things are supposed to be, or at least some steps in that direction.
