Don't try to spin up the energy since that will probably cause problems. Remember that the purpose of the kindalini experience is not just to have a high but to connect with the divine energy. That divine energy is available at all times with or without a peak experience. Remember to focus on morality and compassion. Have a fixed moral code.
Personal transformation can occur overnight or gradually over many years.
Spiritual practices of prayer or meditation help us to change ourselves. My suggestion would be to find a book on Kriya Yoga and learn the goal of all this breathing. A partial experience if that's what it is of any yoga technique or such shouldn't leave you worse off. Don't read any more kundalini books - go straight to Kriya and find the tranquil breath where through certain exercises you can reach a state of breathless breath. IMHO, try Siddha Yoga.
