a kundalini é despertada.
Capítulo 1: Introdução à Kundalini
Antes de entrarmos nos detalhes da kundalini e seu despertar,
devemos primeiro nos familiarizar com nossos termos. Você precisará
saber exatamente o que é kundalini e por que ela é tão importante
para que os capítulos posteriores deste livro façam sentido. Você
também precisará aprender o básico de seus chakras, para entender
como as práticas de despertar da kundalini se sobrepõem e
influenciam a cura dos chakras. À medida que este capítulo avança,
começaremos com a história da kundalini antes de entrarmos em
suas aplicações para os chakras, para cura geral e para sua vida em
geral. Aperte o cinto para o passeio.
A História da Kundalini
Por volta de 3.000 aC, os antigos indianos começaram a falar e escrever
sobre a kundalini. “Pequena enrolada” é o que significava para eles em
sua língua, o sânscrito, mas significava muito mais do que apenas a
imagem de uma pequena cobra residindo na base da espinha de alguém.
Para esses antigos índios, a kundalini era sua conexão com a energia
sagrada e divina do universo e da própria criação. Eles chamavam essa
fonte ou energia da criação de prana, e prana-shakti (ou shakti) era como
ela se manifestava em formas de vida como humanos e animais na Terra.
Para os humanos, shakti está na base da espinha, infundindo o corpo, a
mente e a alma do indivíduo com vida, paixão e entusiasmo. Kundalini é
um veículo para espalhar shakti por todo o corpo, e quando kundalini –
aquela pequena cobra enrolada que dorme na base de todas as nossas
espinhas – é despertada, ela fará do indivíduo um receptáculo para a fonte
de energia de inúmeras maneiras. Embora essa prática original e
reconhecimento da kundalini não estivesse ligada a nenhuma religião ou
dogma em particular, ela estava ligada à antiga tradição espiritual indiana e
tornou-se ligada a seus deuses e deusas até certo ponto.
Kundalini não existia apenas na Índia antiga, no entanto, o que é
absolutamente fascinante para mim. Com nomes diferentes e diferentes
deuses e deusas ligados ao seu entendimento, a kundalini também
existia nas antigas civilizações egípcias. Você já se perguntou o que o
símbolo ankh representa na simbologia e na história egípcia?
Essencialmente, significa a união da masculinidade e feminilidade, a
energia divina masculina e feminina, com o propósito de criação (ou
fonte de recreação).
Os governantes egípcios então carregariam o ankh como um talismã
de espiritualidade e alinhamento com a fonte potencial em suas
decisões do dia-a-dia e outras ações. Também na antiga cultura
indiana, a kundalini era simbolizada pelo lingam-yoni, outra
combinação de energias masculinas e femininas na forma física.
Essa semelhança e muito mais revelam que essas duas culturas
antigas estavam na mesma página sobre uma força tão intensa e
impactante.
Depois, há a China antiga, onde surge o conceito de chi, com incrível
semelhança com prana, shakti e kundalini despertando na Índia. Mais uma
vez, no entanto, o texto é totalmente diferente de país para país – é sobre
o que eles estão falando que é fascinantemente o mesmo. Para esses
antigos chineses, o chi era essencialmente a vida ou a fonte de energia
que existe dentro de todos nós, mas poucos de nós controlamos bem essa
energia.
O chi pode afetar a saúde e o nível de energia física de uma pessoa em
geral, mas quando está alinhado com a sexualidade, o chi pode fazer coisas
ainda mais inacreditáveis. Assim como as práticas sexuais orientadas para a
kundalini se concentram na reversão da energia do orgasmo (consulte o
Capítulo 3 para obter mais detalhes) para a coroa, e não para a base,
os antigos chineses sabiam que enviar a energia do orgasmo de volta
ao cérebro poderia prolongar a vida, reverter os efeitos do
envelhecimento e muito mais. Essa consciência de um canal central
dentro do corpo que direciona a energia de um lugar para outro
também remete à kundalini da antiga cultura indiana.
A Kundalini ressurge na história mundial com o surgimento da alquimia
como prática na Idade Média. Mais uma vez, com nomes e terminologias
diferentes, a kundalini chegou ao povo por meio de uma prática em que os
seguidores afirmavam que a aprendiam para transformar metais comuns
em ouro. O verdadeiro propósito era um pouco mais complicado. Esses
alquimistas estavam apenas trabalhando no despertar espiritual. E a
história de transformar metais comuns em ouro? Isso foi realmente mais
uma metáfora sobre a prática da personalidade em que eles estavam se
engajando para encontrar um auto-alinhamento mais espiritual.
A alquimia é um tópico fascinante para explorar quanto mais e mais
detalhes você aprende, mais e mais ela se sobrepõe quase explicitamente
à apreciação da kundalini na tradição indiana. Em suma, as ferramentas
básicas usadas na alquimia se correlacionam com diferentes maneiras
pelas quais alguém pode desbloquear seu canal central em prol do
autoaperfeiçoamento (iluminação, despertar, poderes psíquicos e muito
mais), como o que os antigos chineses faziam referência à reversão do
orgasmo. .
Além desses outros exemplos mundiais, porém, a kundalini manteve
apenas o mesmo nome e os mesmos detalhes exatos em seu país de
origem e, ao mesmo tempo, na Índia antiga, a consciência da
kundalini também foi apoiada pela prática da ioga. O movimento físico
e a meditação foram igualmente importantes para fazer aquela
pequena cobra enrolada se desenrolar e seguir em frente.
Quando um iogue indiano, Yogi Bhajan, trouxe a kundalini yoga para a
Califórnia, nos Estados Unidos, na década de 1960, sua prática se
concentrou na expansão da consciência sem drogas e, em vez disso,
com algum espiritualismo sincero e real. Yogi Bhajans ensinou um
método de yoga que se concentrava na disciplina e no despertar
corporal para o bem do verdadeiro eu, e essa ação criou uma
consciência rápida da kundalini que continua até os dias atuais.
O que é “Kundalini” exatamente?
Kundalini é, antes de tudo, uma metáfora para o fluxo de energia em nossos
corpos. A palavra significa “pequena enrolada” e descreve uma cobra que
está adormecida na base de nossa espinha que, de alguma forma, está cheia
de energia divina e divina. A serpente ou cobra dorme lá e espera para atuar
como um veículo para a divindade em nossos corpos e vidas. À medida que o
despertar acontece, a cobra começa a acordar, se desenrolar e se mover por
todo o corpo como se estivesse nadando em um lago plácido. Os bloqueios
no corpo são então processados ​e dissolvidos. Irritações e peculiaridades de
personalidade desaparecem. A expressão emocional torna-se cada vez mais
fácil. Com a energia da criação fluindo através de nós, as coisas se tornam
mais fáceis e nos tornamos transcendentes de várias maneiras. Então, por
um lado, kundalini sempre será sobre como a energia divina pode fluir dentro
de nossos corpos com o esforço e a prática corretos.

Em segundo lugar, kundalini é uma prática de estar no mundo que se

concentra no despertar de sua alma para a verdade. A consciência da
Kundalini - seja impulsionada pela meditação, exercício físico, ioga,
música, arte, perdão, conversas, grandes eventos da vida ou de outra
forma - ajuda você a aprender a ouvir e canalizar melhor sua própria
verdade. Pode ajudá-lo a obter insights em momentos de necessidade,
pode ajudá-lo a se sentir menos sozinho, pode ajudá-lo a encontrar sua
direção na vida e muito mais. Tudo o que você precisa fazer é entrar em
contato consigo mesmo por meio de uma variedade de técnicas e, então,
abrir-se para o seu próprio potencial interior. Kundalini fará o resto.
Em terceiro lugar, a kundalini é uma imagem que o antigo povo indiano
criou para expressar o que eles sentiam sobre a divindade. Para eles,
kundalini era sobre o potencial que existe dentro de nós. Era sobre o fato
de que todos nós temos uma fonte de energia – divindade – dentro de nós
que pode ser despertada com a combinação certa de consciência, prática,
foco e esforço. Em todas as culturas em que existia a kundalini, não
importa como fosse chamada, ela era usada como uma forma de se
conectar com os deuses da época; sempre foi uma maneira de
desbloquear e aproveitar o potencial psíquico e aprender com exemplos
piedosos. Basicamente, a kundalini era uma maneira pela qual esses
povos antigos encontravam provas de seus deuses, mas, ao mesmo
tempo, a kundalini também os ensinava que o verdadeiro “deus” nunca
exigiria um dogma para ser apreciado e impulsionado na vida de alguém.
Para nós hoje, a kundalini é semelhante no sentido de que nos ensina
nosso potencial divino enquanto nega a necessidade de um culto de
adoração. A Kundalini está simplesmente lá e, ao despertar, demonstra
nossa conexão com a vida, com o divino e com todo o restante da
humanidade.
Finalmente, kundalini trata da cura em todos os níveis. Ao longo do tempo, a
consciência e o despertar da kundalini foram associados a tentativas de cura.
Os antigos chineses, juntamente com os alquimistas medievais e
renascentistas, certamente estavam
usando suas versões de “kundalini” para tentar melhorar a si mesmos. Os
antigos governantes egípcios carregavam seus ankhs para ajudar a solidificar
e fortalecer seu poder, efetivamente “curando” suas capacidades de governo.
Os antigos índios também estavam trabalhando na cura de si mesmos e uns
dos outros por meio do canal central da kundalini. Não importa de que cultura
a mensagem venha à tona, parece ser a mesma: com maior consciência dos
sistemas de energia do corpo, podemos aprender a reverter processos
desadaptativos e instigar uma cura mais profunda e duradoura.
Chakras e a Kundalini
Uma das maneiras mais fáceis de pensar na kundalini é pensar nela
em termos de seus chakras. A kundalini obviamente lida com
movimento interior, cura e divindade, mas pode ser confuso ver como
tudo isso realmente acontece para você, sua cura e seu corpo
quando não é visível e apenas explicado através da metáfora de uma
serpente ascendente. Vamos dar um passo para trás e começar do
zero com sua compreensão aqui, e acho que você será capaz de
resolver isso melhor em pouco tempo.
Imagine que existem sete “centros” energéticos em seu corpo, todos
alinhados em diferentes pontos de sua coluna. Em cada um desses
centros, a energia flui de um ponto para o outro, mas às vezes as coisas
ficam um pouco travadas. Alguns centros se fecham depois que você sofre
um trauma ou entra em uma briga, enquanto outros centros podem
começar a mover a energia na direção errada, afetando o fluxo geral desse
intrincado sistema para pior. Às vezes, apenas um dia ruim ou um traço de
personalidade mal colocado pode fazer com que as coisas funcionem
longe de seu melhor nesses centros.
Agora, imagine que esses sete centros energéticos também estão
conectados com sete glândulas respectivas e importantes para o seu
corpo que o mantêm (e você) funcionando em forma de navio. Esses
centros são essencialmente seus chakras. Toda a situação que acabei
de descrever é real, e o pior pode acontecer com você. Digite: despertar
da kundalini. Quando você chegar a um momento em sua vida em que
estiver pronto para começar um despertar espiritual, esses bloqueios e
impedimentos de fluxo serão problemas muito maiores do que você
pode ter pensado. Você perceberá que eles estão incorporados em seus
chakras e caberá a você desenterrar o veneno.
Esses sete centros energéticos ligados às glândulas são de fato chamados
de seus chakras, e podemos percorrê-los para que você tenha uma melhor
compreensão à medida que avançamos. Desses sete chakras ou “rodas de
energia”, cada um está associado a uma cor diferente, parte do corpo,
energia de cura e muito mais.
Primeiro, vamos começar com o chakra da raiz. O chakra da raiz está
localizado na base da coluna, onde repousam kundalini e shakti. O chakra
da raiz também é chamado de Muladhara e está ligado à cor vermelha,
afetando áreas de sua vida que lidam com sobrevivência, segurança,
proteção, sexualidade e firmeza. Além disso, esse chakra está relacionado
à cura dos órgãos reprodutivos, das pernas e dos pés.
O segundo chakra é o sacral e está localizado apenas alguns centímetros
abaixo do umbigo. O chakra sacral também é chamado de Svadhishthana
e se relaciona com a cor laranja, afetando áreas de sua vida que lidam
com criatividade, originalidade, comunidade, confiança, prazer e
movimento. Este chakra tem a capacidade de curar os intestinos, os
ovários e o
sistema de desintoxicação do corpo.
O terceiro chakra é o chakra do plexo solar e está localizado alguns
centímetros acima do umbigo, ao redor do diafragma, onde a caixa
torácica se junta na parte inferior do tórax. O chakra do plexo solar
também é chamado de Manipura e está ligado à cor amarela, afetando
áreas de nossas vidas que lidam com confiança, força de vontade,
assertividade, domínio, necessidade de controle, comunicar a verdade e
sentir-se corajoso. Além disso, esse chakra cura doenças relacionadas à
digestão, ansiedade, autoestima e ao sistema de desintoxicação do corpo.
O quarto chakra é o chakra do coração e está localizado exatamente onde
você pensaria que estaria: no coração. Também é chamado de Anahata e
se relaciona com a cor verde, afetando áreas de sua vida que lidam com
amor, compaixão, alegria, cordialidade interpessoal, abnegação e família
ou parceria. Além disso, esse chakra cura doenças dos sistemas
circulatório, respiratório e esquelético.
O quinto chakra é o chakra da garganta e fica na garganta, como
seria de esperar. Também é chamado de Vishuddha e sua cor é azul.
Afeta áreas de sua vida que lidam com comunicação, vocalização,
verdade, compartilhamento, apoio e purificação. Pode até curar
doenças relacionadas à respiração, saúde do esqueleto e ingestão.
O sexto chakra é o chakra do terceiro olho e fica entre as
sobrancelhas. Também é chamado de Ajna e se relaciona com a cor
índigo, afetando áreas de sua vida que lidam com insight, intuição,
visão literal e metafórica, orientação, percepção da realidade,
manifestação e mentalidade geral. Além disso, este chakra contém
capacidade de cura para a visão, intelecto, cérebro, pele e audição.
O sétimo e último chakra contido no corpo físico da pessoa é o chakra da
coroa e fica na ponta da cabeça. Chama-se Sahasrara, e sua respectiva
cor é um roxo forte e vibrante. Este chakra afeta as habilidades psíquicas,
espiritualidade, conexão com a divindade, senso de propósito e missão,
direção na vida e consciência da realidade cósmica. Este chakra também
cura problemas relacionados ao crescimento do cérebro, da pele e do
cabelo.
Agora, com todos esses sete chakras girando na direção certa, sem
nenhum tipo de bloqueio, sua kundalini seria incapaz de se impedir de
subir para aquele estado de êxtase que percebe lá em cima. Em última
análise, o objetivo, quando alguém se prepara para o despertar da
kundalini, é ajudar a limpar, abrir e alinhar esses chakras. Com a maior
facilidade de movimento alcançada, a kundalini responderá e
demonstrará o quão bem ela sabe o que fazer.
À medida que você começa a trabalhar com bloqueios ou reversões
energéticas desses chakras, pode descobrir que essas lutas se parecem com
isso. Para o chakra da raiz, os bloqueios podem parecer baixa energia, medo
generalizado, fadiga constante,
crise de identidade, sensação de desconexão do mundo, distúrbios
alimentares, perda geral ou falta de apetite, materialismo evidente,
problemas para economizar dinheiro ou problemas de saúde
constantes em geral .
Para o chakra sacral, bloqueios ou reversões podem parecer falta de
criatividade, falta de inspiração, baixa ou nenhuma motivação, baixo ou
nenhum apetite sexual, sentimentos de insignificância, sentimentos de não
ser amado, sentimentos de não ser aceito, sentimentos de ser rejeitado,
incapacidade de cuidar de si mesmo, ou problemas de relacionamento
consistentes e repetidos com os parceiros íntimos.
Para o chakra do plexo solar, os bloqueios podem parecer crises ou déficits
de identidade, baixa auto-estima, baixa ou nenhuma auto-estima, problemas
digestivos, intolerâncias alimentares, falta de força de vontade, cansaço
constante, náusea constante, distúrbios de ansiedade, distúrbio ou doença
hepática, infecções frequentes, falta de força central, falta de força geral,
depressão consistente com pouca liberação, sensação de ser traído,
sensação de ser rejeitado, sensação de ser substituído ou energia excessiva.
Para o chakra do coração, reversões e bloqueios podem parecer a
incapacidade de amar a si mesmo ou aos outros, incapacidade de
colocar os outros em primeiro lugar, incapacidade de se primeiro
lugar, incapacidade de superar um ex problemático, guardar rancor
constantemente, problemas de confiança, ansiedade social ou timidez
intensa, incapacidade de expressar emoções de maneira saudável,
problemas de compromisso, procrastinação constante, ansiedade
intensa ou incapacidade de fazer ou manter amigos.
Para o chakra da garganta, os bloqueios podem parecer
compartilhamento excessivo, incapacidade de falar com sinceridade,
incapacidade de se comunicar com outras pessoas, laringite literal,
dores de garganta, respiração ou restrições das vias aéreas, asma,
anemia, fadiga constante, incapacidade de encontrar as palavras certas,
medo paralisante de ser incompreendido, nervosismo em situações
públicas, tontura intensa ocasional, submissão verbal, domínio verbal ou
evitação de conflitos.
Para o chakra do terceiro olho, bloqueios ou reversões podem parecer
falta de direção na vida, sentimentos cada vez mais intensos de tédio ou
estagnação, enxaquecas, insônia, problemas oculares ou de visão,
depressão, pressão alta, incapacidade de recordar os próprios sonhos,
constante e dissonante flashbacks, mente fechada, paranóia, história de
transtornos mentais, história de dependência, falta de sentimento
conectado ao mundo e à natureza e outros, cinismo, irritação constante
ou acne incontrolável.
Para o chakra da coroa, os bloqueios podem parecer sentimentos de
ganância, depressão intensa, necessidade de domínio sobre os outros,
comportamentos autodestrutivos, histórico de vícios, comportamentos
geralmente destrutivos, dissociações do plano físico, incapacidade de
tomar até as decisões mais simples, constante fadiga, enxaquecas
horríveis, perda de cabelo, anemia, confusão cognitiva, má função mental,
falta de habilidades intelectuais ou sentimento de indignidade da
divindade, deus ou criação.
O que fazer com sua Kundalini
Agora que você conhece todos esses detalhes sobre os chakras,
pode começar a entender o que fazer com sua kundalini. Uma vez
corrigidos e trabalhados esses bloqueios e reversões energéticas,
você pode usar a kundalini para alinhar e abrir os chakras ainda mais
do que poderia fazer conscientemente. Você pode trazer a kundalini
para o jogo sem se conter e garantir que as coisas sejam abertas de
dentro para fora.
Além dos chakras, no entanto, você pode usar a kundalini para muito mais.
“Usar” kundalini parece tão errado de se dizer, mas você entendeu. Há coisas
que podem ser fortalecidas adicionando kundalini à mistura, e há coisas que
você nunca experimentaria se não fosse por sua conexão com shakti através
dessa serpente kundalini. Ao abordar o despertar da kundalini, considere as
seguintes possibilidades, pois há muitos objetivos potenciais no processo de
despertar, e cabe a você decidir com o que acha que pode lidar.
Para começar, você pode simplesmente tornar-se cada vez mais
consciente de sua kundalini por meio da meditação em shakti e prana.
Mesmo antes de chegar a um estágio em que você está se aproximando
do despertar (ou até os joelhos nele), você pode se tornar consciente de
muito mais em seu corpo, nos outros e no mundo, meditando na fonte de
energia e direcionando esse insight. em direção à kundalini. Seus
esforços, neste caso, ajudarão a estabelecer uma base de potencial para
trabalhos energéticos posteriores.
Você pode se tornar mais consciente da kundalini usando-a para instigar
seu despertar ou deixando que aconteça naturalmente. Se estiver
interessado em acelerar o processo, considere qualquer uma das
técnicas listadas no Capítulo 3. Se estiver mais interessado em levar as
coisas naturalmente (e, portanto, um pouco mais devagar),
simplesmente comece a meditar. Tente incorporar a prática diária de
meditação em sua vida ou, se você já pratica ioga, comece a adicionar
um segmento de meditação mais longo ao final de sua prática de ioga
ao fazê-lo. Ao meditar, você pode trabalhar para silenciar seus
pensamentos e se conectar com aquele espaço calmo e tranquilo
interior, ou pode meditar sobre a própria kundalini e seu potencial para
começar a fazer esse importante trabalho de kundalini no mundo.
Você pode aplicar a kundalini no trabalho de desenvolver suas habilidades
psíquicas, que sempre fizeram parte de você. Um efeito colateral do
despertar da kundalini é que você ficará mais conectado do que nunca com
suas habilidades psíquicas e, sim, usei o plural “habilidades” de propósito.
Você terá que se acostumar a pensar em psiquismo como algo natural em
vez de sobrenatural. Não é loucura pensar em si mesmo como psíquico,
muito menos com habilidades psíquicas. Na verdade, os seres humanos são
criaturas psíquicas inatas, e cada um de nós tem uma variedade de dons
psíquicos para desbloquear com o tempo e a paciência. Não será apenas
uma coisa; será uma
combinação de dons que se entrelaçam e adicionam contexto ou
direção à missão de sua alma na vida. Depende de você decidir como
usar esses dons, mas se você estiver no ponto de despertar a kundalini
quando os receber, certamente desejará alinhar o uso desses dons com
seu potencial mais alto possível.
Você também pode experimentar conexão mística e iluminação através
do despertar da kundalini. Ao trabalhar com seus chakras e chegar à
coroa, você deve sentir uma conexão totalmente nova com a divindade.
Sua kundalini então começará a se mover e se agitar através de seus
centros de energia, e as coisas mudarão mais uma vez. Você pode
descobrir que experimenta uma felicidade inexplicável, mudanças de
traços de personalidade, conexão com guias espirituais e guardiões, a
liberação de velhos medos e muito mais ao chegar a esse ponto com o
despertar, mas seu intelecto não será confundido ou deixado para trás;
estará junto para o passeio. Lembre-se de que você não precisa usar
kundalini para esse fim, pois isso acontecerá como um sintoma do seu
despertar, independentemente.
Você pode até curar a si mesmo e aos outros com o poder da shakti
fluindo livremente através de você. Se você optar por usar esse poder
para si mesmo ou para os outros também, isso depende de você,
mas, por enquanto, saiba que você será dotado de capacidade de
cura à medida que o despertar da kundalini prosseguir. Seu corpo
começará a se curar naturalmente e até mesmo suas células serão
reabastecidas e reparadas de maneiras que você nunca imaginou
serem possíveis. Embora o ajuste ao despertar da kundalini seja
difícil e haja períodos de desintoxicação, assim que você entrar no
processo, descobrirá que se sente melhor do que nunca e pronto
para enfrentar o mundo.
Você pode viver com mais autenticidade. Com sua kundalini ativa e
engajada, você se sentirá mais confiante, corajoso, digno e inspirado para
realizar sua missão de alma no mundo, e não será capaz de lidar com a
expressão de emoções inautênticas (seja de você mesmo ou de outras
pessoas). ). Conforme você se alinha com o despertar, a piedade e a
divindade, você também se estabelece no campo do genuíno, do autêntico
e do honesto. Você vai querer apoiar as pessoas que ama e prestar
serviço a outras pessoas que realmente precisam. Você se tornará mais
consciente de como o sistema ao seu redor funciona, então você será
exigente e cauteloso sobre onde gasta seu dinheiro. No geral, você poderá
viver uma vida mais plena e agitada, mas também será muito mais
gratificante quando chegar lá e permitir que as experiências fluam.
Por enquanto, como ponto final, você também pode direcionar a energia
kundalini para qualquer objetivo, seja manifestação, cura, atração ou outro.
Quando se trata disso, você terá dificuldade em encontrar uma única coisa
que não possa ser fortalecida ou adaptada para melhor com o despertar da
kundalini por trás disso. Você será capaz de direcionar seu foco para
qualquer meio, qualquer sonho e qualquer objetivo. Você será capaz
de colocar em ação planos que até agora eram apenas pensamentos
passageiros. Você entenderá a si mesmo e ao mundo melhor do que
nunca, permitindo que você aja de maneira a atrair exatamente o que
deseja. Pense em si mesmo como um ímã poderoso, atraindo para
você tudo o que você precisa, e isso é essencialmente o que você
pode esperar. Prepare-se para a aventura! O despertar será uma
experiência selvagem para todos nós.
Perguntas frequentes
Versão “Tl;dr” chegando para você! Se você preferir pular para o básico,
esta seção tem tudo reunido em um só lugar, mas se você acabou aqui
porque ainda lê livros capítulo por capítulo sequencialmente, esta seção
pode ser um pouco como uma recapitulação, embora ainda pode ajudar
a aprimorar as informações que você tem obtido até agora. No geral,
você terá um compartilhamento de informações focado e proposital
antes de passarmos para os detalhes mais suculentos da kundalini,
benefícios do despertar, técnicas de despertar relevantes e muito mais.
O que é kundalini?
Quando se trata disso, kundalini é um recipiente para shakti – energia
universal, cósmica, divina, divina, da deusa – fluir no corpo humano. Para
alguns domínios de estudo, a kundalini na verdade é a deusa ou a energia da
deusa do universo manifestada em nossos corpos, pois é o que inspira a
criação artística e a procriação reprodutiva no reino humano.
Independentemente disso, a kundalini é o exemplo interior de tudo o que é
grande demais para entendermos e, quando ativada, pode proporcionar as
experiências mais incríveis (e a vida em geral) para o praticante.
O que é kundalini ioga?
Kundalini yoga é uma prática trazida para os Estados Unidos (e para
o Ocidente em geral) na década de 1960 por um praticante chamado
Yogi Bhajan. Ele queria compartilhar com esses hippies
contraculturais da América, usuários de drogas, como realmente
alcançar “altos” espirituais. Sua versão de iluminação não exigia
drogas, rock and roll ou viagens. O método de Yogi Bhajan era o
despertar da kundalini focado através do yoga. Basicamente, o
movimento do corpo através da ioga ajuda a resolver bloqueios e
aumentar o fluxo da kundalini, então essa meditação guiada prega
uma capacidade de realizar o que todas aquelas crianças usando
psicodélicos estavam tentando fazer, mas melhor.
Como o kundalini yoga se liga ao despertar do
kundalini?
Kundalini yoga está diretamente relacionado ao despertar da
kundalini. O despertar não pode realmente ocorrer sem a prática de
algo físico para garantir que o corpo e a mente estejam equilibrados,
e a kundalini yoga é a combinação perfeita para o despertar da
kundalini nesse sentido. Se você puder encontrar um estúdio de ioga
local que ofereça kundalini yoga, aceite-o! É um guia maravilhoso
para a experiência da iluminação.
O que devo esperar do meu despertar da kundalini?
Para obter mais detalhes, você pode conferir o Capítulo 2 para ver os
diferentes elementos do que esperar e o Capítulo 4 para os piores
cenários e maneiras de solucionar problemas da experiência. No entanto,
você também pode encontrar uma resposta geral nas próximas frases. Ao
iniciar o processo de despertar da kundalini (ou seja, meditação, ioga,
introspecção, análise de si mesmo e do mundo e muito mais), você se
sentirá agitado. Você experimentará mais sincronicidades do que nunca e
poderá ser guiado adicionalmente para trabalhar ou processar velhas
feridas emocional e fisicamente. À medida que você se envolve totalmente
com o despertar, haverá um período de desintoxicação em que você fica
mal-humorado, cheira mal e a última coisa que deseja fazer é meditar.
Trabalhe com isso! Passe por esta fase e, do outro lado, você
experimentará os sintomas da ativação completa da kundalini e muito
mais. Expect health, excitement, connectivity to the universe and divinity,
hope, less depression, healthier eating, guidance, synchronicities, and love
coming to you from every corner of your life.
Is kundalini, shakti, prana, chi, qi, and reiki all
talking about the same thing?
Essentially, yes. Kundalini is one expression of shakti, which is the
same thing as prana, qi, chi, and reiki. These terms are all talking
about the intrinsic, creative, source energy of the universe. The
positive and negative, the dark and the light, the attraction and loss,
the creation and destruction–the opposites of existence as we live and
breathe them on a daily basis--are this source energy; we just live in
the midst of it.
Will this experience be dramatic or
subtle?
Uncomfortable or easy? Painful or painless?
At the start of your kundalini process, depending on what chakra
blockages, old wounds, and traumas you have to work through to reach an
awakening vibration, things may be dramatic and painful. But if you remain
determined and keep focus, you will work through those feelings and
dramatic times to reach a peaceful and stable future space that's fully
aligned with enlightenment. On the other hand, awakening will be
uncomfortable, at times, for everyone. That's unavoidabl, but being
uncomfortable once in a while is a good thing! It keeps us on our toes, and
it enables us to relearn our boundaries, for they do happen to change as
we grow and heal. Kundalini awakening teaches us to learn from these
so-called “negative experiences” of discomfort, drama, and pain so that we
can see how they shape us and what they ultimately teach us about
ourselves and humanity as a whole.
What will I get out of it?
First of all, this type of thinking isn't necessarily aligned with the vibration of
enlightenment or awakening. If you're coming at the opportunity skeptically
yet looking immediately to get something out of the experience, I'm not
even sure your thinking is aligned with itself. If you're skeptical, try it out
and see what happens! What have you got to lose? If you're not skeptical
but a believer looking for gains, try meditating on kundalini awakening as a
potential for you and see if you're guided in any way. It could honestly be
that kundalini awakening isn't right for you at this time, but if you truly
believe it is, hear this and ponder away: you will get as much out of it as
you put into it.
Do I need a guru/guardian/healer/teacher for
this type of work?
Short answer: No, you do not. Longer answer: Anyone could benefit
from a teacher, but you don't necessarily need one for this endeavor.
Your own connection to yourself, your guides, and your kundalini can be
all that you need to succeed in terms of awakening. There are also a
plethora of websites to skim through when seeking advice, and Chapter
4 of this book also provides troubleshooting tactics for when you need
some guidance. However, if you happen upon a teacher or guru, see
where that relationship takes you! Never turn down such a gorgeous
serendipity.
How do you awaken the kundalini?
There are a number of different techniques you can use to start things
up and speed things along, and those methods can be found in Chapter
3, but until you get there, here's a brief guide. First, you begin meditating
and practicing yoga (or other light physical exercise). Then, you might
change your diet to be healthier or for higher vibration. Then, you might
have a plethora of other changes that you want to make in your life as
your daily routine becomes more complex and oriented toward health.
Eventually, in meditation, you will feel clear and open, and the kundalini
will begin to rise. This marks the beginning of awakening, and you will be
set on your path.
What are the health benefits of kundalini
awakening?
A number of health benefits can be found in Chapter 2, but for now, it will
suffice to know that kundalini awakening can trigger a number of healing
patterns. It can help repair cells and trigger autophagy. It can heal injuries
(emotional and physical in nature), it increases mental health and
emotional stability, it can heal the immune system, it can help with
respiratory function, it
works for the heart, and it can do so much more.
If I'm practicing another religion, should I try to
awaken myself in this way or is it too much?
Kundalini awakening will not interfere with your religious practice. You can
easily overlap your faith onto the practice of awakening. If you need to, you
can call shakti something else that aligns with your God. If you can't call it
meditating, call it “thinking things out.” If you can't call it yoga, call it
“stretching.” Adapt things as needed and allow them to mesh together. You
can absolutely keep working on awakening no matter what truth you believe
in.
Will kundalini awakening be in conflict with my
other methods of searching for spiritual
enlightenment?
I guess it depends on what other methods you're using! However, the answer
for the most part is no. Kundalini awakening shouldn't be in conflict with your
other methods; in fact, it should strengthen your overall search for
enlightenment because kundalini awakening is so needless of dogma or
religion to back it up. It can exist without faith, and it can be combined so
easily with many other spiritual expressions. Surely, it will only bolster your
other methods, and it will be fascinating to see how they all work together to
help your divine truth.
Is forcing the kundalini awake a bad move?
Sim. You don't want to explicitly force the kundalini to do anything. Even
instigating your awakening can be too much for some people, so I
always, always recommend that people start slowly with the process to
ensure that they don't hurt themselves (energetically, physically,
emotionally, and/or mentally). Begin by just meditating daily for a week
or so and adding in yoga and exercise when possible. Then, add in other
tactics as you see fit, but incorporate them gently and slowly. Don't try
everything at once! It might seem awesome to just be in the state of
awakening right now, but you likely aren't emotionally ready to work
through those chakra blockages yet, and if you force the movement of
kundalini too harshly, you can do some lasting energetic damage to it,
your chakras, and yourself as a whole.
Will this awakening get in the way of my work?
It's not likely that kundalini awakening will get in the way of your work, but
when you're in those pre-activation stages where things are detoxifying, you
may want to be a little more patient with your co-workers or even take a
mental health day when possible. It's not altogether necessary for you to take
off from
work, and it's probably energetically better for you to work through any
hardships rather than avoid them, but it can also sometimes help. As
a piece of advice for those working through tough emotional remnants
at work, try grounding as much as possible. Breathe deeply and try to
find a moment or two of peace to meditate. Ground yourself in your
goals and your truth, then see if anything has changed.
Will this awakening get in the way of my
family?
There's virtually no reason why your kundalini awakening should get in the
way of family time. If you have a family and you're concerned about this
question in particular, make sure that you schedule your meditations for
times when you can be alone. Make sure that you take your family's needs
into account as much as possible but be communicative about what you're
going through so that they can be compassionate and understanding
alongside you as you grow. If it's extended family you're worried about, just
stick with your truth and stay grounded if they attempt to challenge you. If
grounding fails, take that quintessential step back and take a deep breath.
Put a pin in the idea and allow yourself to process it fully later when you
can handle it better.
What happens if my kundalini starts awakening
and stops?
This experience is more common than you may think, and I think it
happens because people are doing one of two things. (1) They could be
forcing the awakening in the first place, and their bodies were catching up
with them. (2) They could also be coming to a point with awakening where
they feel they know everything, and then kundalini slithers back down to
rest because that arrogance does not leave any space for growth. If you
had an awakening start and stop in the past, consider your actions. If
you're ready to try again, keep in mind that past outcome and use it as a
motivating teacher moving forward.
Does exercise help or hinder awakening of this
type?
Exercise is a great boost to one's kundalini awakening, as long as you're
not overdoing it! In fact, practicing an awakening without any sort of
physical exercise means that the awakening would be completely
unbalanced if it could even be achieved. Physical exercise helps the body
process scars from trauma in ways our brains might not even be able to
understand. Whether it's dance, running, lifting, core work, aerial arts,
yoga, or anything else, just do it! Your body (and kundalini) will be thankful
you did!
What will the awakening look like once it's
finally
achieved?
Awakening is never quite “fully achieved.” It's more of an on-going process in
and through the depths of spirituality and divinity as one's life progresses.
However, the individual in the process of awakening will be and act a certain
way in the world as he or she gets used to the potential involved in
awakening. The individual will be kinder than normal to everyone, more
interested in higher-vibration conversation and food, and more open to
friendliness. He or she will likely meditate daily and hold a routine that
provides physical and energetic release in many forms. The individual may
even dabble with tantric sex with his or her partner. This person will somehow
just know things and want to work in service of others or in a healing-related
profession.
Will I have special abilities once my kundalini
is awakened?
To make a long story short, yes, you will, however, it's not about these
special abilities. Awakening is about a lifelong mission of connecting
with divinity, and these abilities further the cause. Make sure that you
have your eyes on the real prize when you ask questions like this. If
you need a hard and fast answer, check out the final chapter of this
book.
How long will this process take?
The process of awakening can take anywhere from a few weeks to
several years. Everyone is different. Everyone comes at the
experience at a different time in their lives, carrying different sets of
pain from this lifetime, ancestral burdens, and chakra blockages
because of them both. There is no right or wrong amount of time, and
there is no one right answer, either. It will take as long as it takes, and
no longer.
How do I know if I'm doing something wrong?
It's relatively hard to do something “wrong” other than completely forcing
the process of awakening or kundalini rising. However, if you need to
troubleshoot your experience, you can check out Chapter 4, and if you
need some stronger advice, I have just what you need. Basically, you'll
know if something's wrong for you because it won't feel right. The more
you strengthen your intuition, the more you'll have a better sense of
what's in alignment with your goals and what's harming your vibration.
Furthermore, the more in touch you become with your guardians and
spirit guides, the more you'll be able to use their support for advice for
questions like this.
Other than meditation and yoga, what can I do
to help the process along?
I would honestly recommend just taking things as they come. Try to
read as much as possible. Meditate daily and practice yoga. Add new
techniques into the mix over time. Check out the next chapter for
some details on how to do exactly that. As always, try to take a step
back if you're consciously trying to rush things.
Does kundalini awakening help with ADHD and
other disorders?
Absolutely. Sometimes, people with ADHD often suffer from chakra
imbalances that don't correlate well. For instance, someone's mind is
completely out of alignment with their heart or voice or solar plexus. For
these people, standard medicine does not really help or cure the overall
problem. Kundalini awakening won't either, but it will get to the root of those
chakra issues and help to resolve certain things from that perspective.
Energetic or mood disorders are often helped by kundalini awakening,
although in varying degrees. If you find that you're working toward kundalini
awakening and your mental chatter becomes unbearable no matter what
you try, you may not be able to combine awakening and your disorder well
at all. In that case, don't force yourself to continue. Try doing things another
way, and if that still doesn't feel good, leave the kundalini awakening for
someone else instead.
Chapter 2: Kundalini 101
Now that you understand some of the basic information about your
kundalini, what it is, and how it works in your body, it's time to get into the
details. This chapter will go through 10 specific benefits to kundalini
awakening, 10 myths about the kundalini and awakening, and 21 signs to
notice and appreciate your own awakening as it takes place. Be prepared
to be blown away.
10 Benefits to Awakening
As we go over these 10 benefits to kundalini awakening, it is important
to keep in mind that these wonderful effects are surely impressive, but
to focus on them as your only goals in awakening detracts from the
full experience that's possible for you to have. Take in each benefit
and be grateful for its potential, but don't get too caught up in the “me,
me, me” mentality that is so closely connected with ego. Be grateful
and glad for yourself and others that these changes are now possible
for you, and then your approach will be aligned with your highest
intention.
Increased intelligence and IQ capacity
As you begin your process of awakening, your mind will become
clearer, and your mental capacities will become deepened and
enriched in potential. You'll be able to multitask and organize better
than ever, and you may even see that your IQ number literally rises as
your kundalini starts moving within. As shakti energy flips and rolls
through your chakras, it will reach your third eye and crown chakra,
unlocking these mental capacities just as easily as it works on your
heart and healing.
Greater sense of peace, bliss, and tranquility
One of the most commonly experienced benefits of kundalini
awakening includes an increased sense of peace, bliss, tranquility,
and trust in the universe that you're exactly where you should be.
Chalk it up to the meditation or the yoga or even the being in nature,
but it's also true that when your kundalini awakening begins and
becomes sustained, you will be able to find a deep and lasting peace
even in moments outside of nature or meditation. You will begin
noticing how that peace exists in an inner space that you carry with
you always and everywhere.
Greater sense of purpose and mission in this
lifetime
As shakti flows through your body, bringing light, insight, and connectivity to
your mind, heart, organs, soul, and more, you will begin finding greater
experience of synchronicities in your life. Patterns will emerge, and you will
begin noticing signs that point you in productive or enlightening directions.
Even more, you will find that you're noticing what you're drawn to, what
you've always been interested in, and how that can translate to you
beginning to live out your purpose and soul mission in this lifetime. As your
awakening progresses, you will be more and more confident of the
direction and theme of your mission, and by the height of it, you will find
that mission in motion.
Increased sense perceptions
Most people who undergo kundalini awakening at some point realize that their
senses have been heightened. From smell to taste, hearing, touch, sight, and
even the sixth psychic sense, the senses of the individual blossom and become
honed like the edge of a knife's blade. You may find that one or two senses
become heightened while the rest remain the same, and you may even find that
some of your senses are dulled for a week or so while the others are heightened
in their place. No matter how it happens for you, don't be alarmed or
overwhelmed; you will either adjust or your senses will come to balance
eventually!
Anti-aging capacity in the mind & body
Some of the benefits that come along with kundalini awakening involve
physical anti-aging manifestations, such as feeling stronger and more
attractive, actually having stronger and healthier skin and hair, experiencing
increased autophagy, and experiencing a generally slowed-down aging
process. For the mind, too, kundalini awakening keeps you young, spry, and
able to handle anything. It can even slow down or reverse the effects of
degenerative brain disorders.
Better connection to divinity, god, the goddess,
the light, etc.
As you continue on with the process of kundalini awakening, even if you
begin as a staunch atheist, you can still find yourself questioning yourself
and those beliefs for the incredible and connective, spiritual experiences
that are possible through kundalini awakening are hard to take in without
beginning to believe in something bigger than yourself. For those who think
their faith is the one true faith, they may find their certainty wavering and
opened up into something new and different through their experiences of
kundalini awakened, but I promise, it will hardly be an uncomfortable
adjustment.
Increased capacity for sexual pleasure
(gateway to tantric sex)
As the kundalini and shakti energy start flowing in your body without blockage,
you may find that your capacity for sexual pleasure is totally altered. It might
sound crazy and unconnected to the kundalini and its rising but remember
what the kundalini rises through--your chakras--and that base chakra is all
about sexuality, security, protection, and safety. Eventually, as that root chakra
gets opened and cleansed and the kundalini starts to rise, you have the
possibility to experience more intense orgasms, and your orgasms may even
occur
spontaneously, as one of the side-effects of awakening. You will come to
learn how to control and focus this orgasmic, creation energy, and part of
that focus can be translated into a whole new world: tantric sex.
Kundalini awakening and tantric sex go hand in hand, for the higher
vibration awareness required for one is intimately connected with the
other.
Increased psychic abilities
Along with those increased sense perceptions for your basic 5 senses, your
sixth sense will get a kick in its pants, too. You stand the chance to
experience psychic awakening on a number of levels as you advance
through your kundalini awakening. Whether your gifts are numerous or
singular, they will be life-altering. You may receive or unlock the ability to
see visions, to see signs or future events, to know things before they
happen, to move things without touching them, to attract things into your
life, to see or hear others' thoughts and feelings, to heal others without
touching them, to know what people need, and more. Moreover, remember
that if you don't end up experiencing any psychic abilities or their increase,
it could be because your higher self knows you're not ready to use them
correctly or for the purest means. Reconsider your motivations and proceed
with that insight in mind.
Greater sense of o0ne's manifestation capacity
The law of attraction is one of the 12 universal laws that define the
nature of our physical reality. What we put out into the universe comes
back to us. Even without kundalini awakening, all humans retain this
capacity to alter their worlds and draw into their lives exactly what they
may need. However, with the kundalini awakened or in the process of
flowing, one's abilities to attract what one needs and to manifest one's
goals and desires will become heightened. This will warrant an
increased responsibility and sensibility on behalf of the individual in
question, as the saying from Spiderman is true, “With great power
comes great responsibility.”
Physical relief from certain illnesses &
diseases
Many individuals suffering from chronic illnesses or struggling through
exhausting diseases will find relief from these woes during their process of
kundalini awakening. Due to all the anti-aging and pain-relieving physical
effects that kundalini awakening can afford, these people are clearly
warranted to receive relief in this way. For those with cancer,
life-threatening illnesses, aut0-immune disorders, and more, it could be that
the process of kundalini awakening will give you that boost of relief that
you've been craving.
10 Myths about Kundalini & Its Awakening
There are a lot of myths floating around about what kundalini is, how it
gets awakened, and what its awakening can look like. There are
especially a lot of negative myths, but kundalini awakening is a practice
that's existed for millennia, and its approach can exist in multiple
different incarnations. It can mean a bad experience for someone who
approaches his or her awakening with impure goals in mind, but it still
means such a positive experience for so many others that it's helpful to
tease out what's fact and what's fiction before moving forward
unknowingly, with inaccurate assumptions. While it's certainly true that
no one way to awakening is the right way, this section will surely help
you to spot out some of the veins of thinking about kundalini that are not
worth your concern.
Kundalini awakening is dangerous, and the
energy released is frightening.
Kundalini awakening is far from dangerous. For those who don't
understand the process, it may seem bizarre that some people have
outbursts during meditation or experience muscle spasms or spontaneous
crying. It may seem unhealthy that people are changing their diet to
something radically different than they've eaten their entire lives. It may
seem shocking to some that people are establishing better connections to
the divine. However it may seem, kundalini awakening is safe and
productive, and the energy released is far from frightening; it's healthy,
natural, and enlightened.
Kundalini awakening is tied to one specific
religion (or it's a cult).
While “kundalini” comes from the Sanskrit and takes its linguistic origin
from ancient India, there is no specific religion attached to kundalini
awakening. When the process of kundalini awakening was started by Yogi
Bhajan and his practice of kundalini yoga, even that practice of yoga was a
more secular appreciation of divinity and one's connection to the powers of
the universe and of creation itself. Kundalini does not connect with any cult
or religious dogma. It's simply something that exists within you in relation to
source energy, and it can be awakened if you like, hence the purpose of
this text.
You will have to wear a headpiece constantly
once your kundalini is awakened.
Some believe that your awakened state makes you more sensitive, warranting
the
covering of one's head to protect the crown and third eye chakras, the
aura, and the brain. Whether the headpiece is a turban, a scarf, a
bandana, or otherwise, these individuals think you just need some sort of
covering. However, there is no evidence that this headpiece and its use
in covering the head actually help in protecting one's energetic state.
Kundalini and shakti energy will not be able to escape through the top of
your skull and seep out your scalp, so there really is no point for concern
on this issue.
Kundalini awakening all goes back to sex.
While kundalini awakening obviously has correlations with sex, sexual
health, and sexual awakening, it absolutely does not have to deal with
such themes. Sometimes, kundalini awakening will enable one to heal
from traumas caused by these themes and actions in one's life, and
the farthest thing from this individual's mind will be to incorporate sex
again as quickly as possible. Thankfully, kundalini awakening would
never rush or force something like that. As with all types of healing,
sex can be incorporated when and if you're ready, and not before that
point.
Your relationship with your friends and your
family will suffer after you're awakened.
While you may develop different interests from your family, causing you to
want to spend your time differently than they do, your connections with
these people never have to suffer because of your awakening process. In
fact, your patience with them and understanding of them should only
increase, aiding your relationship. If you find yourself having less and less
time or patience for these people, you might need to reconsider what role
you want them to play in your life or what role you actually want to play in
theirs. In your case, it could be that kundalini is reminding you that family is
more than just blood, and you don't have to settle for those who traumatize
and abuse you. Essentially, your relationship will only suffer when your
higher self is ready for it to be over.
Kundalini awakening is all about breathing and
meditation; it's not physical at all.
Kundalini awakening was originally tied explicitly to the practice of kundalini
yoga. In those times, it was always already connected between physical and
spiritual, movement and breath, and yoga and meditation. Therefore, even
today, kundalini awakening should not be just one of these extremes. It should
never be just yoga or just meditation. It should never be just nature walks or
meditations outdoors. Kundalini awakening should always incorporate both so
that the mind,
body, and soul–all three parts of the individual–can be awakened
together, leaving no part behind and leaving nothing forgotten.
You can only experience kundalini awakening
if you're led by a guru.
This myth was propagated by the creator of kundalini yoga, Yogi Bhajan,
and it makes sense why he would establish it. In his time, no one was
practicing kundalini awakening on a wide scale. People didn't have
immediate information from the spread of the internet either. It was the
1960s, and people actually needed a guide so that they didn't feel crazy or
get something big wrong. These days, this earnest and productive
sentiment on Yogi Bhajan's behalf has much less use for us. With the onset
of the internet and the abilities we have to teach one another from this
information, you can comfortably teach yourself to meditate and guide
yourself through kundalini awakening with hardly so much as a word of
input from another person.
Only certain people can have this awakening
happen because it's so difficult.
For starters, it's a misconception to think that kundalini awakening is a
difficult endeavor. It's not actually hard at all; it's just that kundalini
awakening requires steadfastness, commitment, determination, and focus.
These traits are simply harder for some to come by than others, but even if
they're not naturally in your wheelhouse, kundalini awakening will help you
adapt and incorporate them into your practice so that things become easier
by the breath. Now, to the overall myth: anyone–I repeat, anyone–can
experience kundalini awakening. It's not that it's difficult, and it's not only for
certain people. Anyone can handle the awakening, and it just depends on
whether or not you're ready and able to withstand the entire experience. If
you're having trouble, don't think that it won't work for you. Instead, look to
your wounds, your traumas, and your scars. Consider going to a therapist
at least once and then attempt the awakening again. It may be that you
need to work something else out in a big way before you can work
upwards, so to speak.
The only way to awaken your kundalini is to
have reiki done for you.
While it may seem that reiki and kundalini awakening are explicitly tied to one
another, they absolutely are not. You can awaken your kundalini without
having anything to do with reiki. You can do reiki for years without ever doing a
kundalini awakening, too. It's more so that kundalini awakening and
reiki healing overlap well than that they need to be used together. If
you're having a lot of trouble with your awakening, you might try
having reiki done in order to tell where your chakras' blockages are
and how problematic those flow issues are for your goals. However,
there's no need to combine these practices at all, and you can
absolutely awaken your kundalini without having reiki done to/for you.
You'll get superhuman powers with Kundalini
Awakening.
No, kundalini awakening won't turn you into a super hero. It won't make you
superhuman, either. If you consider psychic gifts and developments
superhuman abilities, though, you might want to reconsider your phrasing. It is
true that kundalini awakening can unlock your psychic gifts. However, psychic
abilities aren't as extraordinary for humans to possess as we might imagine.
Originally, humans had as many senses as we have chakras (which is actually
22), but we became blind, deaf, and dumb, so to speak, after a fall from grace.
Now, we hardly even have enough senses as we have chakras in the body
(7). The original 22 senses were all “psychic” and any ability one has to
reconnect with the 17 lost senses is an extraordinarily natural ability, indeed.
21 Signs of Kundalini Awakening
As you begin the process of kundalini awakening, it will be immensely
helpful to be aware that many things will happen to you, some of them
wild, but what's happening to you does not mean that you're crazy. In
fact, it likely means that you're exactly in line with where you should
be in the process. In this section, you'll be introduced to over 20 signs
or “symptoms” of your ongoing awakening.
They're sure to test your ability to take your ego and pride out of your
practice and focus on what good you can share with the world instead
(because what you're in for is truly, undeniably incredible).
Feelings of lightning bolts in the body
You can tell you're well on your way to full-fledged awakening when
you start feeling tingling sensations ranging from vibrations to lightning
bolts in your body. It's a strange experience, but it won't last forever,
and I promise you, it's a good sign.
Waves of hot and cold flashes
As you're on your way to kundalini awakening, you may experience
extreme hot and cold flashes, reminiscent of a woman going through
menopause. These flashes won't be isolated to any one area of the body.
You may be able to find a pattern in their waves, but they could also be
totally random.
Spontaneous emotional release during
meditation
Whether it's anger, crying, laughter, sadness, joy, or otherwise, any
strange and strong emotions that arise during meditation are sure-fire
signs that your awakening is well underway. The rising kundalini is
helping you process emotional blockages to your system with this
effort.
Making animal sounds or gestures during
meditation
Similarly, you may find that you experience intense moments of what can
only be described as “animal expression” in meditation. Again, your
kundalini is working on helping you process and clear energetic
blockages, and that work is often best done through animal spirits and
expressions.
Hands, limbs, and feet tend to go numb and
tingle
As the kundalini and shakti energy of awakening start to rewire how things are
working in your heart chakra, your physical heart may be occasionally
affected. Don't be worried if you experience your hands, limbs, or feet falling
asleep more
than usual. It's absolutely normal for your “condition.”
Increased desire to visit ancient & sacred
places
If you experience more and more powerful strong urges to go travel
the world and see those famous ancient, sacred sites, don't question
those drives! They're undoubtedly connected to your process of
awakening, and you should follow up on them as much as you are
able.
Frequent sensory overload (at the beginning)
If you've been working with kundalini and shakti energy for a while
and you're not sure you're seeing effects, look to your senses. Have
you been overwhelmed or overloaded easily recently? Have you been
more sensitive than normal? Chances are that these emotional side
effects are related to your senses and are therefore inspired by your
awakening.
Spontaneous waves of bliss or even pleasure
It could be that kundalini awakening has the reputation of being all
about sex because of this symptom or sign of the process. It is true
that some people can experience spontaneous waves of ecstasy or
tranquil bliss. It doesn't happen often, but some people can also
spontaneously orgasm, based on how their chakra blockages are
being cleared and how the serpent is moving. It's incredible, but it's
definitely a sign of awakening!
Periods of extremely heightened creativity
Especially as you start to work through blockages of the sacral
chakra, you'll begin to have extremely creative periods, and these
moments are absolutely proof of awakening. Even if those periods
don't last very long or aren't sustained over time, they'll allow you to
make creative works that help boost your awakening endurance
overall.
Mouth fills up with water during meditation
You may find that your mouth keeps filling up with water during your
practice of meditation. Don't go to the doctor wondering what's wrong
with your body! It's just a side effect of the kundalini's movement
through your system, and it's absolutely a good sign.
Spontaneous singing of old songs (you haven't
heard) or practicing of ancient yogic
techniques (you've never even tried)
Part of what happens during kundalini awakening is that one finds connections
to his or her past lives, and sometimes, one will find that old
techniques of the trade for awakening will surface for him or her in
meditation that this person could never have known beforehand.
Feeling intense headaches during meditation
that resolve themselves easily
If you do experience intense headaches during meditation, try not to take
pain relief medicine for them! Try to ride out the meditation, and if the
headache resolves itself at the end, then it's for sure that you're working out
third eye or crown chakra blockages and your kundalini awakening is
almost fully in effect.
Receiving visions of skeletons or ancestors
during meditation
Some of the more spoken-about side effects or signs of awakening include
the ability to see the dead, one's ancestors, or skeletons. Some people
make their entire focus during awakening to have this ability, but it should
not be so. If you experience these visions, simply know you're on the right
path and do not be afraid. The ways you can use this ability will be
revealed to you in time. For now, stay grounded and don't let yourself get
too scared or excited.
Frequent mood swings in day-to-day life
You may find that you're more sensitive than normal, especially
emotionally. If your mood swings are more extreme and intense than
you're used to, take it easy on others and yourself. It's all a part of
awakening, and it will definitely resolve itself in time.
Hearing sounds (like music) that no one else
hears
As your past life and ancestral memories become unlocked, you might find
yourself tapping into sound memories that no one else can perceive. As you
receive messages about yoga, meditation, and spirituality through meditation,
these tones may accompany the knowledge, but it's all just a part of
ascension. Don't go running to the doctor or your therapist quite yet and don't
be afraid.
Receiving spontaneous waves of wisdom,
insight, or knowledge
The more and more aligned your chakras become and the more freely this
energy serpent moves, the more synchronicities you'll receive in daily life and
the more often you'll experience these beautiful little moments of intense
clarity and insight. These epiphanies will happen with increasing frequency
through
your awakening.
Seeing visions from the past
You may find yourself going on deep and convincingly-real walks
through memory lane during awakening, and you may also receive
literal visions into your past lives, those selves, and their behaviors.
Don't be alarmed. Your kundalini is guiding you through the
information you need to receive to reach full awakening.
Feelings of deep and unshakeable purity
As you shed toxicity and layers of “dirt” from your chakras, you'll find that
you feel increasingly “pure” and connected to all aspects of divinity. It may
sound strange to you now, but divine “purity” is not something to scoff
at–it's a state of mind that's blissful, trusting, faithful, and absolutely
growth-oriented.
Diseases start to become healed
While it's true that some signs of awakening include the lessening of
physical symptoms of disease and illness, it can also be the case that
one's diseases and illnesses begin to become literally healed in this
process.
Personality quirks are lessened and smoothed
out
Many people end up working out personality kinks when their kundalinis are
awakened. Surely, when it comes to the chakras, blockages can manifest as
problematic or negative personality traits, so when that awakening process
starts up and becomes fully activated, the personality will become like a
canvas or like clay that is ready to be painted on or sculpted to the will of
divinity.
Increased artistic inspiration from nature &
others
Especially if you're an artist who's gone through a dry spell in terms of
creative motivation for a long while, it will be a clear sign of awakening
when you find more and more inspiration from the natural and
day-to-day. It doesn't even have to be explicitly from nature, for during
the process of awakening, it could be that general interpersonal
interactions or the movement of cars or public transportation are enough
to inspire you now.
Chapter 3: Kundalini Awakening
This chapter is dedicated to those readers who are ready to work directly
on kundalini awakening. In the subsequent pages, you will find 29
techniques to help your kundalini awakening along, and the chapter ends
with 6 additional methods that you can try to boost your experience.
Whether you've felt kundalini awakening before or you just learned about it
for the first time through this book, the tips included in this chapter are
guaranteed to provide substance, depth, and insight into your experiences
as you proceed.
29 Awakening Techniques
Ranging from meditation techniques to interpersonal tips and simple
world navigation tactics, the options provided in this section will help
you move past simple knowledge of kundalini and awakening to the
place where knowledge can be put into practice. Gather your yoga
mat, your incense, and your mind, for things are about to get
amplified.
Apply kundalini yoga to your practice
The more that you're able to do so, adding physical layers to your
meditative practice will be incredibly beneficial. Kundalini yoga is the
best place to start, especially if you're working on kundalini awakening
in particular, rather than just awareness or chakra balancing. Kundalini
yoga will help you work through those chakra blockages and get the
kundalini going while boosting your meditative practice within the
dimension of the moving human body. You'll be surprised how well it
all works together once you start amplifying your practice with yoga.
Use visualization techniques to increase shakti
movement
Visualization is almost essential to use as a means of increasing shakti
movement throughout your body in the form of your kundalini. The ancient
Indians were on the right page when they gave relatable names to these
cosmic wells of energy within us. They understood how powerful metaphor
and imagery can be when it comes to the workings of the inner body (and
one's subtle energy). For example, as a reminder, “kundalini” means little
coiled one–the snake of universe or source energy (shakti) that exists at the
base of our spine. We are meant to imagine this snake being charmed and
winding its way through our chakras. We are meant to visualize this and many
more things. The more visualization you can incorporate into your practice, the
better.
Use guided meditation techniques to increase
shakti movement
A lot of people need help detaching from the distractions of the mind and the
world before they can focus enough to visualize these intricate inner
movements. In this cases, I always recommend guided meditation. There are
so many ways to help raise your kundalini based on the techniques people
share on online meditation forums and even on sites like YouTube. Audio
books of guided meditations could also provide the guidance you'll need to be
able to shut off
that conscious brain and simply, meditatively focus on the shakti–that pure
and potent source energy that wants to move within you. Seek out these
guided meditations for kundalini awakening, and you'll be so grateful you
did.
Try pulling the kundalini up from your crown
This technique, in terms of an awakening booster, is a little more
detail-oriented than some others. It comes to the way you visualize the
kundalini moving from that spinal source within you to the tip of your crown
and back down. Essentially, you'll want to try shifting your focus. If you've
been imagining things (as most of us will innately do) as if the serpent has
been rising up from your base–with that root chakra as your energetic center
from which it leaves and to which it eventually returns–switch things up in an
impactful yet subtle way. Imagine your crown chakra as your energetic center
and see the kundalini being pulled up through your body, as if drawn by a
magnet that rests at the top of your head. Then, once the kundalini rises to
this crown point, imagine that you pull the “magnet” away and let the serpent
“fall” down back to its opposite end before returning with the magnet replaced.
Remember that you are a spiritual being having a human experience, as many
have said elsewhere. Your crown chakra holds your purest potential, and
shakti energy responds well to that once you reclaim it as your energetic
“source.”
Change your mindset
There are a few unintentional roadblocks that tend to come up for many
kundalini practitioners. Mainly, you'll want to perform a couple of checks to
ensure that your mindset is as aligned with kundalini awakening as possible.
Reject as many sources of negativity in your life as you can. If you can't get rid
of them, try to face them and call them out, or you could just out-right ignore
them. On a personal level, too, you can work to change negativity into its
opposite extreme of expression when it comes to your personality traits, your
routines, habits, and more. Furthermore, the less attachment you have to
material things and patterns, the more open you become to the changes
awakening has in store for you. Overall, therefore, reject (and possibly
counteract) negativity and attachment, and you will surely flourish. (As a
general note, if this method doesn't work for you, don't force yourself to
attempt it, especially if it creates toxic effects for you. In that case, you may
have a blockage of third eye or crown chakra that needs to be worked through
before full awakening can be achieved.)
Play the observer
Do you often find yourself as the center of attention, in more than just a
team-sport-member or theatre-troupe-member way? Do you generally crave
that type
of support and public awareness? Now comes the trickier part. When you
are the center of attention, do you notice things better or worse? Do you
take in the whole picture or do you get tunnel vision for only what you're
doing (and perhaps what the viewer takes in)? I'd be willing to venture a
guess that you aren't fully aware of what's going on, particularly in your
surroundings, at times when you fill that public position. Maybe a little more
time spent playing the observer instead would help you. For people who
resonate with the message behind this point, try to be a little more subtle in
public settings. See who rises up instead and then just listen to what they
have to say. Interrupt your needs and urges in this way, and your kundalini
will realize what a powerful energetic shift you're instigating, responding to
its own way in kind.
Find a teacher, supporter, guru, or mentor
If you are ready to do so and are able, begin to approach the idea of meeting
and partnering up with a teacher. Whether you consider them a strong and
smart supporter, a mentor, a patron, a teacher, a guru, or otherwise, simply
begin to consider the possibility of a person like this entering your life. As you
continue practicing meditation, yoga, and the rest of your kundalini rising
techniques, you'll likely find that your vibration attracts exactly that which you
desire. Now, this attraction effort will involve a bit of action on your part to keep
the vibration going, but the actions involved are easier than they sound.
Essentially, it's this: if you get any hunches in this process, follow them. If you
think you ought to talk to this new person in particular, trust yourself and go for
it. If you want to try eating at a different restaurant, go there and be open to
what happens. You can find your teacher in the places you'd least expect; just
remain open for experiences, conversations, encounters, and situations that
will change your world. Sometimes, just living out that openness is action
enough.
Use chanting & kirtan
Some more traditional elements of kundalini awakening involve the
combination of mind and body through chanting and singing. This mind-body
alignment is not only already incredibly productive for shakti energy's flow
through your system, but also, this combination, in particular, with its focus
being expressed through vocalization, will really help those practitioners
struggling with throat chakra blockages. Spontaneous chanting is a symptom
or sign of kundalini awakening, too, so maybe a bit of practicing will help you
get there. To start, try chanting your mantra or your vision of either exactly
what you want to happen with your kundalini awakening or your detailed
“happy place.” If you follow a religious devotion, you could try a prayer to your
god or goddess. If you don't
mind which religion you follow and you simply want to get involved with
some sort of active divinity, seek out a local kirtan. Kirtan is a gathering
where songs of Sanskrit prayer are sung about many different gods and
goddesses. Interestingly enough, “kirtan” means basically “narrating or
telling,” while “bhajan,” the name of the yogi who brought kundalini yoga
to the West, means “sharing” in a similar context as “kirtan,” with
particular emphasis through song. I'm sure this is not completely
coincidence.
Do things that make you truly happy
Think back to the time when you were a kid. Put yourself in that mental and
emotional space. What did you do for fun? What did you like to daydream
about? Go back to memories before puberty. What unrealistic and absolutely
fantastical goals did you have? What did you think you'd want to be, and can
you remember why you felt that way? Put yourself in that space. Remember
what you did to feel truly happy. Now, think of today. Is there any equivalent to
that thing that made you so happy from your past that lingers today? Do you
still strive to live out those goals and to be happy those same ways? Or have
you given up on those feelings for any number of reasons? Now's the time to
think a little. Even if you don't have those dreams anymore, think of what they
meant to you. Think of what they could have really meant in terms of your
bigger picture. For instance, one child's unrealistic goals of being a tree
climber for a future career could transform into her future needs to be outside
often. The goal in this case is to align your life with those innocent and
unrealistic dreams, however it is humanly possible for you to do so. Connect
with that deep and lasting childlike happiness, and your kundalini will surely
respond.
Practice saying “yes”
Especially for those who have trouble going with the flow, this practice of
saying “yes” as often as possible may actually jolt their kundalinis into action!
If you relate to the previous statement, it's likely because you do attempt to
hold too tightly to control in your life, so you'll need a little help going with the
flow. The most kundalini-applicable reason that this could be the case is that
your solar plexus chakra is blocked, imbalanced, or spinning in the wrong
direction. To those readers that need to hear this, say “yes” more often; you
deserve it! Give yourself a break and go with the experiences and possibilities
that present themselves to you, rather than the ones you cling to or pull
desperately your way. Get loose! Say “yes,” and go with the flow. Kundalini will
know what to do.
Practice saying “no”
Similar to the last point but decidedly different, some people are too easygoing
and can't help but get caught up in the flow. In these cases, the individual
might feel like their greatest fears revolve around not being able to say “no”
when it really matters. Therefore, the technique for individuals who relate to
this message would be to practice saying “no” anytime you'd normally be
“pushed over,” for the sake of the phrase's appropriateness. If people like to
turn responsibilities over to you, say “no” as if you aren't going to lose
anything. Turn down dates to have nights in. Turn down hangouts to give
some self-love instead. Every time you say “no,” though, remember that you're
doing this to regain strength and boost your soul. Don't let that solar plexus
chakra remain imbalanced; say “no” and that blockage will start to disappear.
Use music therapy
A more physician-approved technique for psychological and soulful
awakening of any kind would be music therapy, but I don't mean that you
have to book a doctor's appointment today. I simply mean that you can find
music that supports your goals and listen to it as much as possible. Look
for artists who support your causes and check out their music. Look for
songs that talk about what you want to manifest in your life. Look for tunes
that remind you of being a kid. You can direct your search in a multitude of
ways, and you can even find full albums of kundalini awakening meditation
music on YouTube. If you're not into the words and tunes of others, you can
create your own songs to process anything you might be going through
(that could also be blocking your chakras) to take possession of this music
therapy experience and give it your full bodily endorsement. Use music
however you need to, and if you have any spontaneous hot or cold flashes,
emotional outbursts, or laughing bursts, you'll know you're on the right path.
Use sound therapy
Similarly, you could try using just one tone at a time to guide your meditation if
the busy-ness of music gets distracting because of how sensitive you are.
Some of us can't handle music when we're meditating; it's too distracting to
start off with. Some of us can't handle words of any kind happening when
we're meditating either. Of course, some people don't have these struggles,
but others cannot escape them. Even people who don't necessarily need to
simplify found more sound therapy can work incredible wonders. As I was
saying at the start of this point, you can try using just one tone at a time to
boost your meditation or yoga. You can chant words at the pitch of the chakra
you're working on, or you could just say “ohm” again and again at the same
pitch. You could even take your voice out of it and play one note repeated,
whether through YouTube, a
musical instrument, or otherwise. See what these tones do for you, for
it might be just the trick.
Use art therapy
Instead of using music or sound, maybe art is your thing! You could always
try going to a few local art museums and just wander around to see what
triggers something in you. Or you could pull up some art on your phone or
your laptop to see what helps you feel inspired again. Differently, you could
also get back into creating your own art. I know you have it in you, no
matter how deeply you've buried it! In addition, just because people say it's
“art” doesn't mean what you make has to be good by their standards! Just
create something. You'll be so glad you did, and even if you're not glad and
you end up hating it, even in the act of destroying what you've made, you
might find some inner satisfaction that triggers our slithery spirit friend, the
kundalini.
Use color therapy
Do you remember what color really is? Do you remember being taught in
science class when you were young about how color is just different
wavelengths of light being bounced off things and perceived by our limited
human eyes? Do you remember all that? If not, take it in because I can almost
guarantee you've never thought about what all this really means. Certain
colors will then have wavelengths and vibrations that heal things within us,
sometimes even without us knowing. Each chakra has a color, and the
wearing of that color is supposed to help cleanse or open that chakra, but did
you ever think of the other implications? Sure, colors associate with chakras,
but they also can just affect us in terms of healing that we may not be able to
perceive. Colors have healing capacity that's so subtle and so intrinsic to our
daily lives that we hardly even notice. Getting back in touch with subtle energy
and color healing will undoubtedly help you connect with your kundalini and
instigate its rise.
Spend less time on screens
It may sound basic and unnecessary, but you still need to hear it: the less
time you spend on technology, the better. Especially as you begin opening
up and experiencing kundalini awakening, you will become very sensitive,
even more so than you normally are. It's like a vicious cycle because that
sensitivity has dire implications for your awakening goals, too. You might
become triggered into lower states of being by the news or social media
feeds. You might be distracted too much from your higher purpose by
scrolling on social media all day. You might be too jam-packed with the
vibrations of your technological devices that you can't find your own in the
haze. The basic gist is this: the less
technology you rely on, the more your vibration is yours and the
clearer your focus will be. With less screen time, the more you're
clean.
Change up your social media feed
I know it's hard to fully detach from social media. It's really, really hard for
some in comparison with others, and it's particularly true for those
individuals that I provide this recommendation to. Instead of cutting out
social media completely, I challenge you to complete these steps. First,
choose just one form of social media that you can use to get a bit of
everything you might need (ie, spiritual information, family contact, friend
contact, self-expression, community boost, business boost, etc.) and cut
out all the others. Second, on this social media, cut down your posts
drastically each week. Third, change up your social media feed by cleaning
up your friend's list, the hashtags you follow, and the pages you like.
Remember that you can attract spiritual information through social media,
too; you just have to work for it. With these three actions taking place,
you've made some powerful steps in the right direction, and if things don't
drastically change for you within after two weeks, I'll be extremely
surprised.
Trust in the universe, in felicity, and in
synchronicity
It's going to be hard at first, especially if you've never practiced this type
of radical trust before, but you're going to have to put some faith in the
workings of the world around you. You can do a lot for yourself for the
sake of healing and growth, and others can teach you a lot as well, but
the world and what's bigger can teach you more than you can ever
imagine. Look up the term “felicity.” Then look up the term
“synchronicity.” Now, look up “serendipity.” Start looking for these
experiences in your life, and they'll surely appear. Furthermore, start
keeping a journal of the synchronicities you experience, and I almost
guarantee that you'll be making concrete life changes and trusting in the
universe in no time. Every sign is a lesson and every interaction,
everything you see, can be a sign. Open your eyes and relearn how to
trust, and kundalini will know what to do.
Pay closer attention to your breathing
As you begin meditating and eventually come to incorporate it into your daily
practice, you'll start noticing your breathing more than ever. You'll notice when
you hold it unintentionally, when you hyperventilate or are triggered, when you
are invited to breathe calmly, when you have the greatest smelling capacity,
and more. With this breathing awareness, your kundalini can't help but
respond. What you can do to help along the process is to try to meditate daily,
and when
you do meditate, breathe deep into your belly. Furthermore, if you can
visualize at all, try to visualize that each breath strokes the back of a
small serpent that's sleeping in the pit of your stomach. Imagine that the
breath meets the serpent as if you were petting a cat that curled up in
the window. With this increasingly close attention on your breathing, your
health will improve, and you will only become more and more aligned
with awakening.
Pay closer attention to your posture
If you envision the path the kundalini serpent will follow, you can see that
(if you're standing or sitting up straight) it goes up from the root chakra to
the sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and then finally the
crown before going back down and repeating its flow as it can. Now,
envision what happens to the flow when you hunch over and curl into the
fetal position. The line from chakra to chakra becomes a curve almost
like a semi-circle. In this case, the serpent's path is less predictable and
more difficult overall. You can help the kundalini, in this case, by
watching your posture as much as possible. Try to sit up and stand up
straight whenever possible. Don't crunch your solar plexus chakra and
don't tuck in your root chakra if you can help it! Moreover, if you have
trouble with straight posture, think of what chakras could be blocked and
limiting you. Think of what traumas could be standing in your way.
Regardless of what you learn, your posture can teach you a lot on your
path to kundalini awakening.
Try tapping into the “chakra channel”
In your daily meditation, try this technique specifically. You can boost the
technique with visualization, but you don't have to, for it can be just as
effective if you just imagine what's happening, remember your goals, and
let your body do the rest. Essentially, you'll close your eyes with the
meditation and begin to focus your energy into the root chakra. Breathe into
your belly and sense that root chakra until you can feel a vibration there.
Then, begin to chant your mantra or simply chant “ohm” over and over
again. With each repetition, feel the vibration of the next higher chakra as
the root energy moves into the sacral, the solar plexus, the heart, the
throat, the third eye, and finally the crown. Once you reach the crown, the
whole chakra channel inside you should be vibrating with energy, and your
kundalini will surely see this open and cleared space as if it was a potential
playground to explore.
Practice seeing proof of divinity in everything
Instead of closing yourself off, getting angry at everything, or shutting down
when you get upset, try to reshape the way you look at the world. You can try
to
remind yourself that even when things get intense, it's just a moment when
divinity decided to test you, providing an experience for you to get stronger if
you tap into it correctly and adequately. You can easily see the good times as
proof of divinity, and positive signs are the same. Bad times and negative
times, though, are harder, and that's the real challenge. With practice, you'll be
able to see the proof of divinity in every experience, challenge, advantage,
situation, and exchange, and I hope it will bring you both glee and lasting
inspiration. I know, at least, it will do that much for your kundalini (as long as
your feelings and connections with divinity aren't forced just to get to
awakening).
Connect with your spirit guides
Whether your spirit guides are real people, living or dead, who were sainted
or who invented incredible things, or your spirit guides are your ancestors
or other literal spirits, you can try getting in touch with them (spiritually or
literally) for help in relation to your kundalini awakening. Asking for help is
never something to be ashamed of, especially when it comes to something
as complex and life-altering as kundalini awakening. Reach out to your
guides for advice. Let them know the situation you're in and what you're
hoping for. Let them know what you're working through and what you're
working on. If you don't know who your spirit guides are yet, it's time to do a
little research and begin connecting. Think of the religion you associate
with most and look at the “saints” of that religion. Think of the ancient
religion you love and its myths and gods or goddesses. Do some research
into the world of spirituality to see if your guides will arise, and when they
do, you'll know whom you should direct these important advice-based
questions to.
Use healing crystals
While you're working through subtle and physical energy blockages and flows,
subtle and physical helpers can make the transition into awakening all the
easier. Take crystals, for example. These earth minerals, whether raw or
polished, each contain a vibration and life essence. When you hold these
vibrations around you (especially if you're lacking those vibrations in
particular), they can impart healing capacities to you through direct contact
with the stone. Hold a healing crystal in your hand, and you may find yourself
with increased capacity for patience, love, devotion, trust, or otherwise. For
kundalini awakening, too, this crystal healing potential is great. Crystals of
different colors connect to the chakras, and some crystals even have the
unique ability to align and cleanse all 7 chakras at once. If you're in need of a
booster for your process, I absolutely recommend going the route of crystal
healing. It's easy, it's fun, and it can have
effects almost instantly.
Practice random acts of kindness or paying it
forward
To get your vibration in line with something kundalini can work with, you
can try paying it forward as selflessly as possible. Practice random acts of
kindness and pay it forward whenever you're able to. See what's returned
and what hasn't. See what comes back around even after you send it out.
By working with this spirit of compassion and sending energy out into the
world like a boomerang just waiting for it to return in some fashion,
kundalini (and the shakti that gives it life) will take notice. Soon enough,
these practices may become second nature, or they could even manifest
material rewards for you closer and closer to the moment of your initial
action. Start by sending out whatever generosity and selflessness you can
into the universe and then wait to see what returns. If all that returns is
insight and knowledge, be sure to feel thankful for that! It didn't have to be
anything at all. Working these practices may be difficult as you attempt to
live without attachments and harsh expectations, but it will only be difficult if
it poses a lesson you need to learn.
Meditate to open, cleanse & align the chakras
first
It may sound simple, but you can always just start off your day with a
chakra meditation to open, cleanse, and align everything as you're able to
yourself. Especially, if you're well-practiced with meditation and you're
comfortable clearing your chakras, this technique may boost you
exponentially. From now on, try to start your day with a shower and a
chakra cleanse. As the water hits you, visualize that blockages flow out of
each chakra, down to your feet, and out into the water down the drain.
Visualize your inner peace and wholeness after this cleansing is complete
and imagine that your chakras have become better aligned with each time
you shower. By starting the day in this way, kundalini will have better
motion for the rest of your waking time, and your awakening will be affected
drastically.
Practice active patience & forgiveness
Sometimes, what holds us back from awakening is the grudge we cling to the
fiercest. While it can be true that holding a grudge can remind some people of
their power and their potential to determine their reality, grudges (more often
than not) are spiritually toxic. They most often correlate to blockages of the
heart chakra, and they can be corrected through active and radical
expressions of love, patience, and forgiveness. Next time you butt up against
your grudges or their related individuals, try to be the better person. Don't just
think of things that way, though, and really live that “better person” life without
the judgment of
being actually “better” or thinking that you are. Reject grudge. Reject
anger, jealousy, fear, frustration, and irritation. As you can, just
express love, forgiveness, and acceptance despite their harshness,
and by rolling with those punches, you will emotionally and spiritually
grow.
Practice tantric sex with your partner
While kundalini awakening is not all about sex, some sexual practices are
incredibly useful for boosting your kundalini's rise and increasing your shakti.
Tantric sex, in particular, is one of the healthiest and most productive sexual
practices linked with kundalini awakening. During tantric sex with your partner,
you both will try different positions together and engage in mostly the same
actions as you normally would, however, the goal of orgasm will be a little
different. Tantric sex is about holding sexual positions and holding or
redirecting orgasm, pushing endurance to its limits, to use very Western terms
about it. You'll enter and hold these positions, building up energy between you
two and sending that energy up into your chakras rather than out into each
other, so to speak. Your kundalini is directly involved when actions of this type
occur, so its awakening may likely be very closely related to this ancient
sexual practice.
Try orgasming differently
If you experience frequent orgasm but don't yet understand or wish to
practice tantric sex, you can try focusing your orgasm into a different part
of your body in order to instigate awakening. As with the couple
practicing tantric sex and coming to orgasm, you'll try to focus your
orgasmic energy upwards, through your chakras successively to your
crown, rather than down and out through your base. This creative energy
is always lost from your body during orgasm when you push that energy
down out the root chakra, but if you keep some of that energy for
yourself by redirecting it upwards, you will invite the serpent to move with
you.
6 Other Practices That Can Help
In addition to those 29 kundalini-boosters, 6 or so more intensive practices
can be added to your daily routine to your benefit. Ranging from physical
exercise to dietary change and other modes of subtle energy healing, the
methods in this section are gateways to apply to your awakening for
strengthening, deepening, and intensifying the experience as it stands. Now it
all depends on what you feel comfortable with and what you're willing to draw
into your life.
Start running
One thing you can do is start running if you're physically able to. Running is
great for your lungs, your heart, your bones, your posture, and more.
Spiritually, running can connect you with the potential you have to free
yourself from restriction (to a certain degree) and to create your own reality.
When you're in the practice of running, and things really feel good, you have
the sense that you are free to go anywhere your feet can carry you. This
feeling evokes pure joy for me, and it helps me resolve feelings of being
trapped in the system in other ways. For others, too, running can provide
those feelings they're desperately craving while increasing their bodies'
strengths and potentials. Through the practice of running, you should focus
your attention on becoming strong, gaining endurance, and increasing the
alignment of your body. If you find that you struggle with any of these three
points despite your shift into running, you may want to eliminate it from your
routine. The goal here is to promote overall health, and if you're adding undue
stress to your days, it's not really worth it in the long run. Instead of running,
these individuals are invited to try bicycling, trail walking, road walking, roller
blading, or any other, less-intensive method of getting outside and getting
physical.
Change your diet
It can be the case that your diet keeps you from following through with
awakening. What vibration do the foods that you're eating contain? Have you
ever thought to look? Sure, you've thought of calories, fats, carbs, and
proteins, but have you thought of the food's actual vibration? If you're trying to
awaken the source of subtle yet universal energy inside you, you're going to
need some vibrationally powerful food. If you're running into struggles with
awakening that either aren't being resolved or that feel like they're leading
nowhere, try switching up your diet. Trade out the processed foods for whole
foods. Trade out the meats for fruits and vegetables. Once you start eating
better foods and drinking better things, your cells will replenish themselves
with the nutrients from these healthier substances, which will lead to a better
and healthier overall
expression of you! It might sound far-fetched, but food has energy just like
crystals and herbs do, even more so. When you eat that food, you take on
its energy, and if you eat death constantly, you will have a stagnant
vibration. Raise your vibration through your food, and kundalini will be
riding those shakti, world-shattering waves to awakening right along with
you.
Spend time with nature & meditate there
Don't forget the importance of going outside as you begin this life-changing
practice! There will be times when you feel low as you shed what doesn't
serve you. There will be times when you feel so full of energy that you could
burst. There will be times when you feel like you've been walking in circles
with blinders on and just now realizing what's been going on. Kundalini
awakening is a strange and bewildering time and having a solid routine for
grounding can be immensely helpful. Throughout your process, never forget
the value of going into nature. Nature is an endless reserve of subtle physical
healing energies. It's also a wealth of signs that can help you communicate
with your guides, your higher self, and your intuition. The physical
environment is alive beneath our feet, and it can teach us more about
ourselves (and our potential as humans) than we might like to face, but its
lessons are so, so, endlessly necessary to hear and to learn. No matter what
season it is for you or where you happen to live (city or otherwise), get
outside! Dress appropriately and go out to take in the season! Meditate in
nature whenever possible and let the visual symbolism of these beautiful
spaces guide you and your kundalini through any difficult work ahead.
Live a life of service or try volunteering
Are you really living from the heart? Or are you living from the head or the
gut? Are you maybe living from your groin instead? As you work through your
chakras' blockages into kundalini awakening, you will be forced to find yourself
many, many times. You will see how your self-expression has been (and has
not been) aligned with your overall growth, and you will begin to notice the
patterns in your behaviors and personality traits. Eventually, you may even be
made to face your inadequacies in terms of love, self-expression, self-control,
creativity, survival, spirituality, psychic-ness, and more. The most intense
inadequacy to face, however (especially for those involved with kundalini
awakening), is the inability to love purely and selflessly. For those struggling
with this heart chakra blockage, “faking it until you make it” likely won't work.
You'll need a physical anchor for this love to connect with; otherwise, it will
never feel genuine for you. In that case, you might try volunteering or
switching your job momentarily to work in service of others. By putting yourself
in a work-place situation of
service, you will be tested, and your abilities to love others selflessly will
be strengthened with each breath you take. It could be that your
experiences are wholly positive, but it very well may not. Take heart,
however, for those harsh experiences are the greatest teachers of all. In
time, you will notice how your heart is like a flower that blossoms with
every new interaction. You'll know your kundalini's awakening when what
used to cause you the most bitter irritation now evokes nothing but love.
Boost your practice with other subtle
energy-healing techniques
While kundalini awakening clearly connects you with realms of subtle energy
in your life, it can also be greatly boosted by the presence of other subtle
energy-healing modalities aside from just using healing crystals or being
around physical nature. Moreover, of course, once you come to know more
and more about subtle energy-healing modalities, you can begin to pair them
and combine them generally as you see fit. The point is this: as you work
through what helps you and what doesn't, you'll realize that your intuition (aka,
your connection to your higher self and more) is stronger and more helpful
than almost anything else; you will draw to you the healing that you need,
even if it just looks like massage or a plant or a teeny pill that dissolves under
your tongue. In that case, your practice of kundalini awakening (or any
awakening or ascension, generally) should always be boosted by the
application of other subtle energetic modalities, as you see fit. A few options
are as follows.
First, you could try using flower essences as a modality of subtle energy
healing that supports your kundalini awakening. Flower essences work based
on the extracted vibration of one type of flower at a time. Basically, you take
(or buy the product created by) a few buds of a particular flower and put them
in a clear bowl of water. Then, you set the bowl in the sunshine for 12 hours,
either at once or over time, as the sun wills. After that point, you remove the
flower buds and bottle the water with a drop or two of brandy as a preservative
in each bottle. Voila, you've got flower essences! Now, the fun begins. Just as
each person, each color, and each crystal has its own vibration, so does each
flower. When the essence of the flower is “extracted,” to a certain degree, in
the flower essence, you can then orally take the remedy (of a few drops of its
liquid a few times a day) and work to cure certain ailments that are attached to
one's aura or subtle energetic expression. Flower essences can dissolve
chakra blockages, too, without you even realizing that's what they're doing.
Look up flower essences, for I promise, you'll be fully amazed with the
potential.
Second, you could seek out reiki healing in order to remove your
chakras'
blockages and help the kundalini along. Reiki healing is a traditional Japanese
method of energy work that eliminates obstruction and blockage inside the
individual (emotionally, spiritually, intellectually, or otherwise) through the
applied insight and potential power of the practitioner. While reiki healing is
often paired with massage, it doesn't have to be, for it's really just about the
potential for the practitioner to dissolve energy blockages within the individual
from afar, through the application of the right energetic methods. Reiki healers
don't even necessarily have to be next to you to heal you through their
methods. By connecting their own kundalini to shakti, to their spirit guides, and
to the earth, these individuals can receive guidance that blasts open your
chakras from states away, paving the way for the serpent to flow within you.
Just be sure you know what you're getting yourself into before your first
session!
Third, you could generally receive massages that aid in blockage release.
With or without the addition of reiki, massages are still an incredible thing.
They feel amazing (especially when performed by someone you trust), but
they do more than just make your skin and muscles feel good. Massages can
also help you become more aware of any blockages you might have (ie,
through where it feels okay to be touched and where it doesn't, through the
places the masseuse tends to linger on, through the pains you didn't realize
you had, and more) as you work through that chakra opening and clearing
process, making way for kundalini. If you're not comfortable with massage, try
just getting a manicure or a pedicure (Even if you're a guy! Just be brave,
schedule the appointment, and own it!). The manicurist or pedicurist will
absolutely massage your hands or feet, respectively, and that smaller, focused
massage will, through reflexology, affect your overall bodily awareness (and
potential for kundalini awakening), too. In fact, any reflexology, acupuncture,
or acupressure would be equally helpful to this extent.
Fourth, you could still seek out therapy if you're comfortable doing so.
While it doesn't help all people, talking things out can still be immensely
helpful for some. Therapy doesn't have to be completely about talk, either.
Remember from earlier in this chapter that therapy can be based around
art, color, sound, and music, too! If you think that you need to work through
something in a bigger way than just your insides can handle, don't be
ashamed. Turning to therapy may potentially save your life. It might be
daunting to know where to start or how to make the first move. Try art or
music therapy first if you can. If you can't afford a personal doctor, create
your own therapies. Do whatever you need to in order to get the toxicity out
and somehow neutralized, and if that means that you go to a “shrink” and
talk things over, go for it. Kundalini (and your higher self) will be thankful
you did.
Fifth, you could try using essential oils or herbal healing to get things
in gear. These suggestions are correlated through their reliance on the
vibrational essences of plants and herbs. Through essential oils, the
vibration is extracted and contained in oil vehicles, while the herbs could
also be made into “flower” essences. Through herbal healing, as a
whole, however, herbs are simply appreciated for the subtle energies
they contain and the healing they can impart. Essential oils can vary in
rarity and availability, but herbs themselves can sometimes be extracted
from your own backyard. If you're in a rush these days, however, you
can always buy online. Make sure that you're buying essential oils that
are perfectly in line with your goals, but you can also make things
purposefully ritualistic and low-tech. If you'd rather try the in-person,
low-tech method, go out in nature yourself and forage for plants with a
guidebook. If you're drawn to a plant without knowing what it is, look it up
and take notes. You may find that your guides (or your intuition) have
been leading you to the ideal cure for so long without you even knowing
it. Whether you use the essential oil, the bought plant, or the foraged
herb, kundalini will be grateful and respond in kind.
Sixth, you could try decalcifying your pineal gland and reprogramming
your energy through sun gazing. Sun gazing requires you to be present
for sunrise and sunset each day. The gist is this: you stand barefoot in
the rays of the sun as it rises and sets, looking toward the sun, soaking
in its life-giving energy, and learning to feel full of its potential. Then, you
tie this practice in with intermittent or spontaneous fasting to get the
whole experience of feeling connected to the earth in completely new
ways. Sun gazing supposedly has anti-aging, anti-hunger, and
anti-illness benefits that are almost unmatched by modern medicine, and
you'd better believe that sun gazing will affect kundalini's movement, too.
Wake up with the sun and breathe in its rays deeply. If you don't feel
kundalini stir up some shakti after just a week, I'll be completely
flabbergasted.
Seventh and finally, you could try homeopathic remedies to work through
what's causing those chakra blockages within you in the first place. While
modern medicine and pharmaceutical cures operate off of allopathic healing
(things different from the problem cure the problem) principles, subtle energy
cures lead us to investigate the older practice of homeopathy (like cures like)
instead. Homeopathy sometimes gets a bad reputation but is much more
worth one's effort than you might imagine. Homeopathic remedies are
constructed from the vibrational essences of plants, minerals, and animals to
the point of mitigating the debilitating circumstances or illnesses. Instead of
assuming, like modern medicine does, that you can only heal something by
administering a cure
devised separately, homeopathy assumes that poisons (in very small
doses) can actually heal greater ailments. It's worth writing a whole book
on the subject, but for now, it will suffice to say that you should look into
homeopathy if you're intrigued by this point. It could be that the trigger
for your kundalini awakening is a teeny homeopathy pill you'll let
dissolve under your tongue, and the greatest thing is that if you take a
homeopathic cure that your body doesn't actually need, it won't do
anything to you at all. Essentially, these wonderful subtle energetic
remedies only work if you need them. What are you waiting for? You'll
never know how well these remedies can work until you do the research
and try them for yourself!
Take a dance class
Along the lines of the first point in this section, you might try taking a dance
class instead of taking up running. This decision would be much easier on
your knees, your lungs, and your muscles overall, but it could still be just as
worthwhile, if not more so. It just depends on your experience, your chakras,
and your goals with kundalini awakening. Overall, dance classes allow for
physical exercise aligned with your mental and meditative goals, but also
provide an outlet for creative expression that is likely not present for those
who just choose to run or work out or attend kundalini yoga classes.
Therefore, attending dance class would work incredibly well for people
working through lower chakra blockages (especially blockages in the sacral
region). By connecting with music, rhythm, movement, passion, ecstasy, bliss,
and inspiration, people who choose the dance class method will find release in
the sacral and root chakras regardless. Some people need this specific
release more than others. If you're stuck with your root, sacral, or solar plexus
chakras, don't turn right toward running to be your exercise mode of release
(that's better for crown, third eye, and throat chakra blocked people, anyways).
Instead, join a dance studio and take a weekly class! Whether it's shamanic
dance, modern dance, hip hop, ballet, or otherwise, just getting your body
moving will inspire the kundalini, and every rhythmically-planned step you take
will only serve to align your life more with your greatest, most creative
potential.
Chapter 4: Troubleshooting Your
Awakening
While there are many positive signs and things that can go oh-so right with
kundalini awakening, it also happens to be the case that, sometimes, it doesn't
work out like you'd think. Sometimes, it doesn't seem like it's even working out
at all. In those times, this chapter is here to help. We'll troubleshoot three
different themes that could be affecting your process. First, we'll consider what
might be holding you back. Second, we'll look at the potential dangers and
risks that might be interfering with your process. Third and finally, we'll
examine the most common mistakes people make in their awakening process,
along with how you can expertly avoid them. By the end of this chapter, you
should have found your personal slip-up, and you should be able to work at
correcting it in no time.
12 Things That Could Be Holding You Back
There are so many things that could be paralyzing you on your journey.
From emotional struggles to physical ones or from going too fast to too
slow, there are various ways to accidentally get in your own way, but this
section will help you at least open your eyes and realize what you can do to
help.
Physical challenges
The simple truth of the matter is that sometimes our bodies aren't ready for
kundalini awakening quite yet. In some cases, it's due to an auto-immune
disorder. Sometimes, it's caused by a lack of ability in a certain part of the
body. Sometimes, still, it's caused by the inability to practice meditation due to
extensive daily anxiety. Regardless of the physical challenges that are getting
in your way, you are not a failure. You will come to a point in your healing
when you will be able to handle kundalini awakening on top of everything else,
but right now might not be that moment, and that's okay. Rushing one's
kundalini awakening can be detrimental sometimes, and it's always best to
just take it at a pace that feels natural and non-stressful for your experience
and needs.
Experiencing things with too much intensity or
too quickly
Sometimes, the chakras aren't that blocked, and they're relatively easy to open,
cleanse, and align. For people that have this experience, the kundalini awakening
process may happen much faster than it would for the standard, highly-blocked
individual. If this is the case for you, you'll likely have an incredibly intense
experience right from the beginning, and it could even become too intense
because of the speed of transition. If you're not rushing things and they're still
advancing intensely and quicker than anticipated, try to meditate every other day.
Try to take a step back in your process and allow it to become calmer, rescaled to
anticipate what you can handle. You may also benefit immensely from having a
guide or guru. Some people do not do well with these types of relationships in
healing and awakening, but because you're so highly sensitive, a teacher or
mentor–even just a listening supporter–may be just the thing.
Diet doesn't support awakening
It may sound far-fetched to some (and I'd be willing to bet this “some” group of
people is comprised mostly of meat-eaters), but sometimes, your diet will get
in the way of your awakening. Saying that doesn't mean you need to go right
ahead and cut out meat or dairy or gluten or sugar. It more so means that you
may be
able to aid your awakening process if you make a few slight adjustments. You
can start by eating less processed food and more fruits and vegetables. If
that's hard for you to do to start off, try beginning by eating one less meal with
meat each week. Simply start small and see how you feel; see how your body
reacts. If a positive response is evoked, make additional changes in
accordance.
You're focusing on the wrong body part
Some issues with kundalini awakening are rooted in the individual's
abilities to focus, and these issues are easily adjusted with a switch of
where one's attention goes when he or she meditates. For example,
especially if you focus your energy into your head (or into your third eye)
when you close your eyes to meditate (which most people do), you've
found your problem right there. To instigate kundalini awakening, you
need to start off by focusing your energy into your heart, belly, and gut.
The kundalini needs a healthy environment to rise into, and if you're
sending all that healthy attention to your third eye, you've skipped way
beyond that gut space that the kundalini meets first. Think of how the
kundalini will move and prepare your body accordingly. In essence,
during your meditations, breathe deep into your stomach for a while and
see what changes for you.
Your mentality ignores the body or vice versa
Based on where kundalini awakening came from–in the modern day,
with Yogi Bhajan and his practice of kundalini yoga–it makes sense that
your practice of awakening can't just be mental in order to succeed. It
has to be balanced with physical efforts, as you're able to complete
them. The connection with yoga is important here, for that practice can
do a lot to aid in your kundalini's awakening. Mainly, kundalini yoga
especially helps cleanse blockages in one's chakras through movement
and body-focused breathing. In the same vein, one cannot instigate full
kundalini awakening through just the practice of yoga. There has to be a
balance between mind-based and body-based approaches in your
overall attempt. Otherwise, you will continue on in this state of internal
imbalance.
Poor or unsupportive mood
To a certain degree, kundalini awakening can help readjust mood and
emotional imbalances, but one has to get to that point first. It could be that
those heightened mood and emotional imbalances are what's keeping you
from any clear direction in your hopes of awakening. Check your mindset!
Check your most common moods! If there's any way you can begin to adjust
those mindsets and moods, you're sure to see some difference in your
kundalini practice in no
time. It may sound complicated, pushy, or difficult now, but if you can
somehow rise above any draining moods and emotions, you'll see
your kundalini rise in kind.
Overwhelming urges for control
It is true that the purest kundalini awakenings happen with absolutely no
effort on behalf of the individual, but not all awakenings can happen like
that. However, there are many distractions blocking the divine that are
basically everywhere these days. Ultimately, there should be no ego-based
forcing, pushing, or controlling involved in one's awakening. But this whole
book still helps its reader through techniques and tips to aid in his or her
self-guided awakening, so it really just comes down to finding a balance. If
you're struggling with the process, try to establish a better balance between
self-guidance and trying to do too much too quickly, then see what
happens.
Past trauma or PTSD is too strong of a
blockage
Sometimes, the traumas we bore witness to in the past (or that we're
currently surviving) create blockages for us that become so entrenched
and so ubiquitously spread throughout our chakras that we become
unable to guide ourselves through our own awakenings. That's not a
good or bad thing; it's simply a fact of life. If you feel that this sentiment
applies to you, don't be put off from kundalini awakening, for there is
incredible and life-altering hope for you. It just means that you might
have to work through your traumas separately first. Based on what
you've experienced, it may be supportive to talk to someone about that
experience, whether it's a friend, partner, guardian (on this plane or
another), or therapist. Use art therapy or music therapy if you'd rather
not interact with another person, you'd rather not share your trauma with
someone else, or you feel that you have no one else to share it with. Get
that yuck out somehow! Try to be creative or communicative about it,
and your kundalini will start rising in no time.
Unwillingness to face one's true nature
Awakening can be a tricky process at times. It's not always just positive signs
and good feelings and happiness. Sometimes, you'll be made to face your
flaws, and the task will be this: change them or suffer no further kundalini
movement. It's a tough situation, but it definitely means that some people
falter in the process of awakening because of these self-based reality checks.
Furthermore, as the kundalini rises initially through the throat, third eye, and
crown chakras (before it starts free-flowing through all the open chakras), the
individual will realize more and more how filled with divinity he or she is. For
some, this
awareness is frightening or too much to handle. Some are simply
unwilling to embrace this potential. To off-set from this situation if you
find you're being held back similarly, what you can do is to practice
radical openness and acceptance of yourself, divinity, and others.
No community of support
If you've ever heard someone say that kundalini awakening will take your
friends and family from you, you've probably just interacted with someone who
tried to talk about his or her awakening with those closest to him or her, but
the community couldn't or wouldn't support those efforts. This dismissal of
awakening doesn't always happen, and even if it does happen to you in regard
to your close friends or family, don't let yourself get too down in the mouth
quite yet! There are a few things you can do in this case. (1) Leave kundalini
awakening out of it where these people are involved because (2) as you
continue on your awakening journey, your powers of attraction will be stronger
than ever. With the right combination of hope and focus, you'll surely draw to
you the right community of support in no time. (3) You can also keep trying
with those friends and family, just with different tactics the next time. (4) You
could even dismiss the idea of a supportive community entirely and build one
yourself with information. There are a plethora of apps you can download that
will help boost your awakening with supportive tips and advice, and for some
people, this information switch is enough to make up for what people around
them lack.
No teacher or guide
While some people will be self-guided in their awakenings with no issue,
others do work much better toward that experience with a teacher or at
least a mentor helping and guiding their paths. If you feel lost and are
desperately seeking a teacher, my first recommendation is to seek out a
yoga studio that teaches kundalini yoga. Strike up a conversation with the
teacher there and see what blossoms from there. Alternatively, you could
seek out kundalini chatrooms online, or if you prefer things in person, you
could go to your local metaphysical store and ask around about meditation
mentors. You never have to struggle alone. Let kundalini guide your
confidence to enable you to draw in the people whose help you'll need for
growth.
Environments don't support awakening
Whether it's your home environment, your work environment, your economic
environment, your natural environment, or otherwise, it is true that some
spaces do not align with one's striving toward awakening. Sometimes, people
talk trash, which can affect your flow. Sometimes, people might laugh at you
for what
you're passionate about. Other times, you might be surrounded with
pollutants that keep, for example, your pineal gland calcified without
your knowing. Trust your intuition here. If it feels like an unsafe place
to meditate or do your yoga practice, try to find another space. If it
feels like your well-being and sanity is threatened by being who you
are and doing what you want to do, seek shelter elsewhere for this
venture until you're strong enough to fight that vibe. You don't have to
force this process, and you certainly don't have to do it where you're
unable to feel safe.
10 Dangers & Risks Associated with
Awakening
While “danger” is a strong word to describe it, truly, there are some dangers
associated with awakening, particularly in terms of going for more than you
can handle. This section will explicitly list 10 risks so that you can check
whether you're approaching things in a way that's more dangerous than
necessary. If you relate to any of these 10 points, you will definitely have to
change your approach if you ever hope to see true and lasting success with
kundalini awakening. However, some of these “dangers” are just symptoms
that might scare you when you experience them, and the point is just to
work through them. I'll note when this case is true for a particular
sentiment.
Overburdening or overwhelming the soul
There's always the risk of spiritually overexerting yourself. Any time one
forces or tries to kick-start kundalini awakening, this risk is very present.
Especially, if you're not in touch with your higher self or spirit guides, you
may have an extremely hard time realizing where your chakras are blocked
and how exactly to clear them. Furthermore, you may not realize until too
late if you're overwhelming the kundalini and awakening process as a
whole, forcing your soul to handle more than what it's ready for. The best
tactic is to just take things as they come without trying to do too much at
once.
Doing things too much and too quickly
There's equal risk for those who try to do too much and too quickly.
This tactic almost certainly causes imbalance later, as the forced and
quickened kundalini is made to rampage through your system's
vibration and somewhat ignore blockages in the chakras it passes
through. This action, on the whole, damages one's kundalini and
creates addition states of disease in one's chakras, so please take me
seriously here. Be careful not to do too much too quickly so that you
won't have even more stuff to work through later on when you're ready
to try again.
Your body can't keep up with the mind
Sometimes, you won't really know you're doing too much and too quickly
because it's all happening on the inside. In these cases, it's likely that your
body can't keep up with the speed that your mind can handle. Like the point
just above, this issue can mean future chakra imbalances and damages to
your aura and kundalini, so the best thing to do in response is to make sure
that your practice applies a combination of body-based and mind-based
practices. Meditating and chanting is one thing, but it can't be just this
expression without
yoga and even running or cycling, too. Align your body with your mind,
and you will not have this issue.
Lack of groundedness due to spiritual “highs”
As you work through and into the depths of your awakening, you may
find yourself spiritually “high” at times, and you will be much less
grounded in your earthen body whenever this comes to pass. This
“danger” is more like a symptom, as mentioned in the introduction
paragraph to this section. Most people will experience this
groundlessness through the excitement of the kundalini awakening. Your
higher chakras will be opened wide, and you will stand the chance to be
distracted by what you can perceive now. Whenever you're feeling like
this–dreamy, distracted, floaty, almost cloud-like–start breathing deeply.
Make one hand into a fist at your navel and imagine that you can drop a
cord from this spot in your body straight down into the earth. As this cord
drops and connects with nature, feel grounded and affirmed with your
human body. This visualization should ease such “high” symptoms
whenever they come up.
Jerkiness & muscle spasms
As with the point directly above, jerkiness and muscle spasms are
symptoms of kundalini awakening that many (if not all) will experience in
their processes. It only becomes coded as a “risk” or “danger” because
the individual might not think that these actions are connected to his or
her awakening and get scared for his or her own well-being. If ever you
do have these spasms or involuntary jerks, breathe deeply and try to feel
at ease. These are natural “growing pains” associated with awakening,
and they will pass. Eventually, you won't have them at all anymore, but
for now, breathe deeply and accept them. They're a good sign, believe it
or not.
Finding yourself alone in the “dark night of the
soul”
Another symptom of awakening is the experience of the “dark night of the
soul.” This period of time will come to pass for any involved in kundalini
awakening, and it's not necessarily a fun time, which is why it's coded as a
“danger” or “risk.” Essentially, the “dark night of the soul” is when you feel like
you've hit you're lowest low. It's the moment after you face all the flaws in
yourself and realize you can only move upwards, which is a daunting
responsibility. You may lose someone close to you, like a mentor, friend, or
loved one. You may find yourself feeling directionless or questioning
everything you thought you knew was true and real and good. If you find
yourself feeling these things, you haven't failed at awakening yourself; know
that to the depths of your core. You have not
failed; you're right on track. For those who know someone very emotionally
sensitive who's trying kundalini awakening, keep close tabs on that person. The
emotionally sensitive among us stand great risk when going through these
periods alone. If they're too directionless and dejected, it can mean their lives, but
we can always protect against that. We are stronger as a community together,
and each of us will make it through this dark night with that backing strength.
Trouble adjusting to new worldview
When you go into awakening, you may not realize all that has to change.
Your relationship with popular culture, music, news, media, medicine, and
more will absolutely and undoubtedly change. A symptom of these
adjustments that sometimes poses as a “risk” or “danger” is that people can
have trouble coming to terms with the new worldview. If you relate to this
message, try not to fight what you're learning. Practice open and radical
acceptance and remember that you would not be shown these things if it
wasn't necessary for your soul and your kundalini awakening. Trust in the
universe and believe profoundly that the world is still beautiful without what
you thought you knew.
Reworking & resolving trauma (potentially
alone)
One symptom that gets coded as a “risk” or “danger” is that anyone
who's experienced any level of trauma will be guided to work through
those wounds and scars when they begin with their kundalini's
awakening. So many traumas find their root in one's base chakra, and
the kundalini rests there, right at the base of the spine, behind the
genitals and reproductive organs. When it starts to rise, it will force the
individual to process those blockages and resolve them, which can
mean a lot of intimidating (or even triggering) work. Try not to isolate
yourself during this process. You don't have to feel alone when you're
working on such intense resolutions, but the key may be in becoming
brave enough to ask for help.
Ignoring one's transformative responsibility
with drugs
It may seem absolutely reasonable to combine, say, psychedelic drugs with
kundalini awakening. If it's within your means, you might even be drawn to an
ayahuasca ceremony or excessive marijuana smoking. Think about it, though.
The kundalini is working to move through all your chakras in their most clear
expression, with no blockages and no numbness. Surely, it's possible that
drugs can open your mind, but don't forget that sometimes that openness
comes at the closing of something else. Your third eye might open, for
example, but your
solar plexus chakra will absolutely shut down for a moment or even a few
days. Keep things on the inside on an even keel by using drugs as little as you
possibly can during your kundalini's awakening. If you find yourself unable to
stop, it could be that addiction is what stands in your way more than anything
else.
Developing kundalini syndrome
Kundalini syndrome is the reason why kundalini awakening sometimes gets
a bad reputation. Essentially, all these “dangers” and “risks” can pile
themselves together into a syndrome of unpleasantness for certain
awakening practitioners who are highly sensitive, already unbalanced,
unusually easy to awaken, or otherwise. Kundalini syndrome looks like
constant jitters and anxiety with so-called “delusions of grandeur”. People
with the syndrome live mostly in their heads and have trouble relating to the
physical earth plane. These people are stuck in a phase of awakening, and
that stuck-ness could have been caused by forcing the process, speeding it
up, or working through it for impure intention. To avoid the syndrome for
yourself, take things as they come with your awakening and don't get too
stressed out when things get tough. Believe with your heart that you will
find balance and ease once more. You will make it to the other side of
awakening, and then, with that belief planted deep in your heart, you're
sure not to get stuck.
15 Biggest Mistakes People Have Made (and
How to Avoid Them)
Since the onset of contemporary kundalini work in the 1960s, multiple
people have gone through the process, which means that many people
have succeeded in achieving awakening and that some people have
absolutely floundered. These people's mistakes will be like spiritual gold for
you, for they'll help you learn, correct your path, and adjust before the
detrimental mistake is made. Though some have fallen, their efforts will lift
you up, and you will surely rise through those efforts combined with your
own.
Falling into the “goodness” ego trap
If you find yourself beginning to compare yourself with others on a
basis of what's good and what's bad, despite having your kundalini in
a state of awakening, you have fallen into an ego trap. The first step to
correct this mental blockage is to realize what you're doing. A truly
awakened person will not judge others in this way. Notice what you're
doing and work directly against it. Rethink the concepts of good and
bad in their entirety and start looking for their reflection deep within
yourself before you go out into the world projecting them onto others.
Falling into the “spiritual” ego trap
If you find yourself beginning to compare yourself with others on a
basis of who's more spiritual than who, you've fallen into another ego
trap. By judging others in any aspect, much less degrees of
spirituality, you put your ego in a position where it's more important
and louder than your soul. True spirituality finds a balance of ego and
soul, if not a muting of ego to benefit soul, so if you find yourself
thinking these things or following these trains of logic, stop yourself
right there and correct it. The more you're conscious of doing
(judgment-wise), the easier it will be to stop making such assumptions
and growing as a truly spiritual being.
Falling into the “love & light” ego trap
If you find yourself beginning to compare yourself with other awakened others
on a basis of who expresses the purest love vibration, you're putting yourself
into another ego-trapping position. Not every spiritual expression involves
“love and light” at the end and not every one should. In fact, darkness and
shadow are as important forces in the universe as love and light are, so
focusing on these latter concepts would just create energetic imbalance. Lose
the judgment and
remember how important balance is in all things.
Falling into insincere niceness
As you proceed down the path of awakening, people will become drawn to
you. You will experience an increase in natural charisma, and when people
come to you, they will expect help and guidance. Unfortunately, that means it
will become abundantly clear for others when you're being insincere.
Therefore, do whatever you can in the coming weeks, months, and years to
only express niceness when you really believe it and mean it. Insincere
niceness will turn people off from you at every turn until it's transmuted into
something more productive. If you notice yourself falling into this emotional
rut, you'll need a jolt of something to reset yourself emotionally before real
progress can be made.
Falling into judgmental comparisons
Whether it is based on goodness, spirituality, lightness, or anything else
you can come up with, any judgmental comparison you make will be
proof of a big mistake in play for you. Judgment is not a part of
ascension, and it will find its death in a true awakening process. As you
move deep into awakening, take note of your patterns of thought. Start
to notice when your thoughts, emotions, or statements involve judgment
and redirect those things before they're vocalized into the world. Change
your language, change your thoughts; change your thoughts, change
your world.
Giving up too soon
The most common mistake for kundalini awakening is to try for a few days
then give up because nothing is happening. I promise, something's
happening! It's just only beginning, and those first wiggles of the kundalini
won't feel like anything for a while. It will (and should) take a good bit of time to
fully achieve awakening. Awakening should not be forced or pushed; it should
not take a few days. It should not even take a few weeks. In all honesty, it can
even take longer than a few months or a few years as it should, for the
kundalini awakening process requires a lot of respect and responsibility on
behalf of the individual. Sometimes, the personality needs a little work before
it's able to devote such energy to such a powerful development. If you're
feeling impatient and want to give up, keep going about it the way you have
been. Don't give up, for the outcome will be well worth the effort.
Rushing or forcing the process
Numerous pieces of advice in this chapter warn of the dangers of rushing
your awakening process. Please, please, please: do not force yourself
open. Allow
patience and proper timing to be instilled in your process. Allow yourself to
understand the importance of proper timing. Remember, too, that what you
may be pushing for so intently might not be as glorious as you think.
Awakening requires the shedding of layers, the transformation of
unproductive to good, and the loss of what's been toxic. It's not necessarily
easy or glamorous, and it should absolutely not be rushed into. To avoid
this mistake, take things easy and remember what awakening is really all
about.
Losing discipline through the process
While kundalini awakening should not be rushed, its practices should at least
be constant in order for the best outcome to be achieved with the least
harshness of transition. Make sure that you don't fall into the mistake of losing
discipline throughout the process. So many people start strong and dedicated
and lose their verve after a week. Instead of falling into the same rut, try to be
conscious of what's happening with your energy level over time and plan
accordingly with your awakening. Plan your meditation and yoga periods
during the times that you know will work with your waking and sleeping
schedule. Overall, make the practice of maintaining discipline as effortless and
natural as possible.
Spending less time (or no time) with nature
One of the more common mistakes involved with kundalini awakening
deals with one's mindset and setting, as if one was going on a
psychedelic trip. Your mindset has to be right, but so does your
environment, and in this case, “environment” actually means the natural
world. Make sure that you spend time with nature weekly during your
process of awakening. Without that environmental boost, your
awakening may become lopsided toward the benefit of humanity over
the earth, and as always, balance is key. Nature will inspire you, center
you, ground you, and teach you, and the kundalini is a snake after all!
Get in nature; I promise that it will make everything so much more
manageable.
Looking at spirituality as the end-goal or
destination
One other common mistake is the view of spirituality or kundalini
awakening as if it was the end-goal in and of itself. I've been trying to
shape my language in this text to reflect that spirituality and kundalini
awakening are not like some mountain peaks that we can climb to and
conquer. They're so much more like oceans or abysses to climb into and
explore for eternity. While there are certainly goals within kundalini
awakening that you're working towards, the ultimate goal in the process is
to realize that it's exactly what it all is: process, practice, and experience.
By shifting how you look at things and how you talk
about awakening, you can make sure you don't fall into the pitfalls of
this mistake.
Using the process simply to get psychic
powers
Similar to the previous point, this one insists that your end-goal should not
just be psychic awakening and that's it. If you're going into kundalini
awakening with any goals other than to experience all the facets of divinity
and spirituality in yourself and the world, then your intentions are “impure,”
and whether you like it or not, your kundalini can sense that. In this case,
your awakening may end up becoming problematic or strife-ridden, but
there's a sure-fire way to avoid this mishap. Don't go into awakening just to
get psychic powers or even just physical healing. Consider the whole
experience and devote yourself to the blossoming of your true potential, no
matter what that means for your body. It's just a shift in focus and then
things can be back on the right track.
Looking for answers primarily outside one's
self
As you go through the process of awakening, a big mistake to fall into is
that you might accidentally create a routine where you constantly look
outside yourself for answers, forgetting your own intuition. Kundalini
awakening is about connecting yourself to the bigger sense of you, whether
manifested through your higher self, the communities you're engaged with,
your spirit guides, your family, your soul mission, or otherwise. Therefore, if
you find yourself looking for answers only outside of you, you're liable to
reach imbalance in the process. Remember to look deep inside and try not
to shy away from things you might not like in yourself. Processing all those
kinks will be part of what helps you through awakening out to the other
side.
Getting overly attached to spiritual practice
While your practice of kundalini awakening is certainly important and will
surely become important to you, try not to get too attached to your routines,
even the ones oriented towards growth. The more attached you get to
anything, the more you stand to suffer, and kundalini, spirit, or divinity might
just try to test you by taking away the effectiveness of your practice just to
shake things up. If that happens, it's just to get you to remember that spiritual
development can happen without any practice or routine whatsoever. It just so
happens that practice can help, but it is not everything. To avoid this
problematic attachment, therefore, switch it up often and don't let yourself get
too connected to any one method. Stay flexible, stay open to all the
experience awakening has to offer, and remember: awakening is not
something you can have, own, or possess; it's a practice, and you should
never fully control that.
Using the process simply to contact the dead
Some people approach kundalini awakening with a specific end-goal
in mind: to contact the dead. While this type of awakening has the
power to connect you with planes outside and around earth and
dimensions that are beyond ours, you should never practice
awakening just to have this experience. Like with several points
above, this end-goal makes your practice impure and will end up
affecting future imbalance in your health, chakras, and intellect. You
can easily avoid this mistake by making sure not to focus your
awakening around just one facet, especially this one.
Using the process hoping to be set free
Finally, it can be the case that kundalini awakening helps the individual feel
free
– freer than he or she has ever felt before, more liberated to be him or
herself, and more able to do exactly what spirit calls him or her to do.
However, as with the point above, the end-goal of your process should
not be this freedom. Instead, allow freedom to be a happy symptom or
side effect if (and when) it arises, but don't let your focus fall on it
completely. Be there for the experience and let what happens happen.
Let go of control, expectations, and attachments, and the kundalini shall
surely rise.
Chapter 5: Kundalini Master's Class
Now that you're basically a master on kundalini and its awakening
symptoms and process, it's time to advance you to the Kundalini Master's
Class! In this chapter, you'll be introduced to the juiciest tidbits of potential
tied up in kundalini awakening, from chakra alignment to astral projection
and additional psychic gifts. The challenge in approaching this chapter is to
maintain a pure reason for attempting awakening in your own life. Don't get
caught up in pride and ego desires but just read this chapter and become
aware of what's in your future if you follow this path. Simply read, accept,
and trust what's to come.
Chakra Healing & Alignment
With the knowledge of what each chakra does and what chakra
blockages mean in reference to your overall goal of awakening, you
should now be able to take things a step further in reference to your
own chakra healing. The following is a guided meditation for chakra
alignment that you can read along to (or record yourself reading aloud
and play back as you go) and try out. Essentially, we'll walk through
one method for aligning your open chakras and inviting the serpent to
rise.
Close your eyes and breathe deeply. Imagine that you're on a beach
by a cool, clear lake. Picture the surroundings of this tranquil place,
where you're alone with maybe a lake house behind you that feels like
it's yours. Knowing that you're in a beautiful yet safe and secure space
makes you feel utterly relaxed, strong, and at peace.
Suddenly, you realize that you're not on the beach – you're actually
sitting in the lake and the water comes up to mid-chest level. You feel
completely content with this decision, as the water feels somewhat
warm and comforting in the summer breeze. You close your eyes in
the meditation as well as in the real world.
If you cared to open your eyes, you'd see that the water is in fact so clear
that it almost looks like there's nothing there. You'd see that it almost looks
like you're just sitting on a ground of colorful gravel, but when you move
your arms, you know better. When you move, you can see (and feel) the
ripples.
In this clear and calm lake, you sit. As you find peace in being there and
trust that nothing will harm you, you relax in a way that you haven't been
able to do in a long time. You allow yourself to breathe deeply and roll
your shoulders down to release any tension there. You roll your head
from side to side to release strain in that area, too. Eventually, you bring
your neck and chest to center and you start to visualize your central
channel.
In this inner column of energy, you visualize a free-flowing wave of
white light. You have the sense that the white light is flowing so
strongly and purely that it's turning the water around you white, too.
You peep open an eye and confirm your intuition. The water you're
sitting in is still the same temperature and texture, but it now looks like
a bath of milk. You breathe in that purifying feeling and close your
eyes once more.
Remembering that free-flowing column of white light, you take your
visualization back to that space. Knowing that your chakras' blockages have
all been cleared helps you feel confident moving forward, and you allow
yourself to get all but mesmerized with the beauty of that inner white light.
However, the
light cannot last, and you know that this channel, this powerful
column, can be used for something even more important than just
centering you in this moment. In this calming, milky lake in the middle
of your safe, secure space, you begin to hum bravely. You don't really
know the song you're humming, and it might just be one tone hummed
with the sound “ohm.” Whatever the song is, it's been with you always,
and it's a supportive song that feels right for this moment. As you hum
your song, it's like you're charming a snake, for kundalini seems to
love the sound.
Sure enough, the small snake that lies coiled up at the base of your
spine starts to move up, uncoiling and winding through your chakra
energy wheels in search of the source of the sound. Normally, you might
be afraid of the image of a snake within you but knowing that your body
is rooted in this natural, imaginative space somehow protects you and
shields you from any harm. You trust this fact and know it in your heart to
be true.
Unafraid and excited, you hum more and more while kundalini rises
and winds through the root chakra to the sacral, around the solar
plexus, and then up to heart and throat. You notice that the serpent
stays a while around throat chakra, and you assume that it's because
kundalini enjoys the sound of your humming so much. Ultimately,
kundalini knows it must continue, so in the peace of your body (resting
in the peace of the lake, homed in the peace of this still, safe space),
kundalini rises once more.
Kundalini comes up into your face to lick the third eye and crown chakras
before turning and coming right back down through all the same chakras once
more, down through third eye to throat, heart, solar plexus, sacral, and root.
As the first cycle of serpent's winding is completed, you feel filled with
potential, and you sigh with relief. You seem to feel that everything is right in
the world and that your direction is being revealed to you as you draw this
very breath.

In the cool, completely clear water, you open your eyes and see that the
world has become so much brighter, sounds are clearer, smells are
crisper, and the water feels lighter than air. You stand and reach out your
arms to the world of this space and simply breathe in its beauty, knowing
that you are full of the same exact potential, the same prana and shakti
inspiring both you and nature. You breathe deeply and open your eyes to
the world.
Reaching Higher Planes of Consciousness
If you have goals of accessing higher planes of consciousness, kundalini
awakening is a great place to start. In fact, kundalini awakening itself
instigates awareness of these higher planes, and some people even gain
access to them, but it always helps to have a guide at your disposal. For those
interested in reaching these states of consciousness with the help of eager
kundalini, the following section provides the guide that you need. The
following 8 steps will lead you to the access you seek, when performed for the
right reasons.
First, clear your mind completely. Before you embark on the journey to
other planes of consciousness, you'll need to make sure that you don't
bring any unnecessary emotional baggage with you, so check it at the door!
Close your eyes and breathe into a meditative focus. Try to eliminate as
many thoughts as possible from your mind; let them dissolve like salt in
water or like snow on hot pavement. Let them evaporate from your mind
until a still and calm inner space is achieved. This still space is absolutely
essential to attain moving forward, so you'll want to ensure it's a strong
one. Hold this space in mind for as long as possible before even moving
onto the second step.
Second, evoke the central channel. Meditatively shift your
consciousness now to see this central channel illuminated within you as
best as possible. If you're still working through any recent blockages,
you might see those as darker spots in the channel, but hopefully, no
spots exist whatsoever. As you visualize this central channel, fill it with
that same bright white light as the last section and imagine that you can
add love to that light energy. Love is a vibration you'll want to carry with
you as you journey into other realms, for it is part of what's so unique
about being human. If you ever get lost, you can always follow that
vibration back to where you came from, but that matters later. For now,
just focus on breathing and boosting that central channel with as much
love and light as possible.
Third, allow the serpent to rise. Once it's comfortable to do so and once
it knows the channel is ready, kundalini will come out to play. At this
point, you can meditatively visualize kundalini following its winding path
through your chakras once more, up from the base to the crown and
back down again. See how many slow and steady cycles you can
withstand witnessing before you are pushed into action. Simply watch
the serpent complete its inner course and trust in its energetic potential
for you. Express love to kundalini and trust in the universe and then
follow the next step.
Fourth, accept and express gratitude for your body, and don't let yourself
forget about what your physical body does for you even on a daily basis! It's a
source
of great strength and support, and it will remain solid and secure on
the earth plane while your consciousness and soul explore others.
Breathe in that truth and breathe out your trust. Additionally, express a
powerful wave of acceptance and love for your body. Feel grateful for
all that it does for you and be proud of what you've accomplished with
it! Whether your past life experiences come to mind or your
conquering of chakra blockages to allow for kundalini awakening does
instead, simply remember all your body has done for you and be
proud! Know that future experiences with this earthen form will
absolutely benefit your growth.
Fifth, check your goals against your higher self. You must have come to
this experience in search of higher planes of consciousness for a
reason, and that reason might not be backed by the purest of intentions.
Try to be as honest with yourself as possible as you search to define the
real reason why you want this type of access to other planes of
consciousness. Once you've divined the answer, check it against your
higher self. Some people ask this question in the form of, “WWJD? What
would Jesus do?” You'll ask it in terms of, “What would my best self do?”
Use that insight to inform your experience as you likely decide to move
forward.
Sixth, state the goal you have in mind to kundalini. Once you've checked and
altered those goals based on your interactions with your higher self, you
should also check to make sure that your kundalini can handle such cosmic
connectivity right now. Check in with kundalini again and make sure it's not
overburdened, exhausted, or that it got accidentally rerouted from its path
winding through the central channel. As long as kundalini is operating
normally, then things should be good to go! Don't push things, however. It sure
sounds fun to visit higher planes of consciousness, but if shakti isn't there with
you somehow because you jumped the gun with kundalini's readiness, you'll
surely regret it, for the experience will be nowhere near what you imagined.
Seventh, let kundalini take you there. As kundalini expresses its
approval of your goals, let go of the reins and let kundalini take
control. Trust that this vehicle of source energy will get you where you
need to be, and feel the company of your angels and guardians, too,
for they'll surely be able to make this trans-plane journey with you.
Eighth, make sure that you've developed a tactic to return. Accessing higher
planes of consciousness (and other planes of existence) can be an
experience similar to astral projection and travel at times, and you'll have to
remember where you came from so you know where to return to. You won't
want your consciousness floating out in the ether for anyone to imprint on or
get interested in. In order to ensure that doesn't happen, make a return plan
before you even
“leave” for the higher plane. If you've seen the film Inception, take a
note from their book and bring a “token” with you that will remind you
which world is real. It might sound crazy, but the more awakened you
and your kundalini become, the more immersive meditation
experiences of this nature you'll have for yourself.
Astral Projection & Travel
Different from travelling to higher planes of consciousness with kundalini's
help, you can also astrally project and travel with the same type of aid.
When going to other planes of consciousness, the soul and mind go to
another level of thought that impacts the body in ways standard words or
knowledge would never be able to do. But when using astral travel, one
can actually go to other dimensions, realities, worlds, and more. This
section will serve as a guide for those who seek to develop abilities of
astral projection and travel, for these gifts are more complicated than they
may seem at first.
First, clear your mind completely in a meditative state. Let your mind
become clear of thoughts and emotions. Let any urges, desires, needs, or
calculations exit your mind as well. The goal is to have calm, serene
silence within the mind. Before you travel to other energetic planes, you
need to make sure that you're as pure of an energetic expression as
possible. You don't want to end up going out into these other planes with
energetic blockages that keep you from coming home just because of one
thought that stuck out before you left! Try to eliminate that possibility from
happening by maintaining this calm, composed mind before moving any
further in the process.
Second, evoke the central channel and raise the kundalini. With your calm
and collected mind, remember that central channel. Let it become
illuminated with the same warm white light and then allow kundalini to feel
invited to rise. Without any blockages in its way, the serpent cautiously yet
comfortably winds and winds to your crown chakra and then back down
again.
Third, allow yourself and the kundalini to meld together in a hypnotic
state. With kundalini flowing through your chakras and activating the
central channel, close your eyes and try to visualize what's happening in
detail on the inside. Watch kundalini methodically rise and fall. Feel
supported by those efforts but also allow those conscious thoughts and
emotions to fade away once more. You want to get hypnotized by this
motion; get lost in it! All that matters is that you and kundalini are one,
and its motion within you begins to create a vibration that pronounces:
I'm ready for travel.
Fourth, remember that your mind has so much more power than your body.
Before you embark on the astral voyage, you'll want to partially ground
yourself with this knowledge, and the best way to do so is to “ground”
yourself (so to speak) in the astral body. With those eyes closed and your
mind in this hypnotized state, begin to connect with the body that's not
yours. What I mean is this: when you visualize squeezing your fist, it's not
your actual body that moves, but you are imagining a body that's yours
(that's not actually your
physical body) doing the work. In this sense, I want you to connect with
the version of your body that exists in the mental realm and that's
affected when you visualize things. Try to move each finger and toe of
that imagined body separately. Create several other exercises for
yourself to root with this astral body, and your trans-plane journey will
become all the easier. A few other things you can try are imagining doing
jumping jacks, doing a cartwheel, counting on your fingers, juggling, and
doing an intricate dance.
Fifth, connect to your subtle energy. You've worked to connect with your
physical body, you've done the same and connected with kundalini, and
you're connected with your astral body, but what about what's left?
There's always an additional layer of subtle energy vibrating all around
you due to the other carbon-based life-forms (and technological devices)
in our world. Try to get in touch with that energy layer now. With your
still-partially-hypnotized mind and your openness to the whole
experience, allow yourself to feel a buzzing at the edge of your being as
your astral body begins to separate from your physical body. This
buzzing or vibrating is a good sign. It says that things are going exactly
the way they should. Not everyone feels these vibrations before astral
projection, however.
Sixth, let visualization take control. With your eyes closed, start to see your
body as if you were floating above it looking down. Let your soul, essentially,
become elevated and weightless as it rises above your own body. Like the
rising kundalini, your soul floats up to its highest potential and back down, just
starting to explore the space around you. It wanders through your room and
house but does not get outside your home to start. There's still a bit of
safety-making and grounding work to do before that final step into the ether
can be achieved.
Seventh (and maybe most important!), always keep your root in mind! There
will be a silver cord that attaches your astral body to your physical body, and
that will sometimes be the only thing that can help you get back home. Don't
forget to mind this physical and energetic root cord. As you have been
exploring your room or your home, did you notice that cord yet? If so, that's
wonderful! If not, you may not be having a full, pure astrally projective
experience quite yet, but keep running with the visualization to see where it
takes you!
Eighth, allow yourself to explore the astral plane you've found, with baby steps
first, of course. Now that you see your silver “grounding” or homing cord, go
ahead and see what's around. Look around your neighborhood and maybe
your city. Stay on the earth plane at first so that you don't get too
overwhelmed. Eventually, you can try to explore completely different planes,
realities, and dimensions, but your home density is always a safe and familiar
place to start.
Clairvoyance & Other Psychic Gifts
If you approached kundalini awakening in the first place hoping for some
level of psychic awakening, don't feel dejected or misled. Kundalini
awakening will absolutely align you better with your intuition, deeper
insights, and soul's mission. Furthermore, it will allow you to unlock
additional psychic gifts on levels you may not have even known existed
before your kundalini rose. This section will walk you through several
different psychic gifts that are possible to attain, and as you strengthen
your general manifestation and attraction abilities with kundalini awakening,
you may even be able to pick and choose these gifts for your experience
and needs, based on what you read below.
Astral projection is the psychic gift explored in the previous section,
and it is essentially the ability to explore other realms with your
consciousness voluntarily.
Aura reading is another psychic gift that is basically exactly what it
sounds like. Many of us have the gift of aura reading in our own way,
and if anyone tries to tell you that only one version of aura reading is
right, they're not telling you the full truth. Everyone who can see auras
sees them a little bit differently because everyone is unique in their
own way. Therefore, if you believe you can see auras, but it doesn't fit
with others' experiences, don't worry; trust yourself and believe in your
gift.
Automatic writing is a psychic gift that involves channeling (the next
point in this list) to a certain extent. Essentially, this gift allows the
writer to be able to channel his or her higher self, guides, angels,
guardians, or more in that person's effort to be verbally creative.
Channeling is a psychic gift that allows the individual to enter a trance
and let another spirit speak through them for a time. It's sort of like
demonic or angelic possession, but it's voluntary. The person who acts
as the channel will almost always be fully willing to let the spirit talk
through him or her.
Clairaudience is a psychic gift that revolves around the ability to hear
outside the standard range of human hearing. People with these gifts would
be able to hear into other planes of existence, even into supernatural
worlds.
Clairgustance is an unusual psychic gift that is oriented around taste and
eating. Individuals with this gift would randomly get a taste in their mouth and
then receive messages later on in relation to that taste. Furthermore, these
“clear tasters” would be able to taste something before even putting it on their
tongue.
Clairsalliance is a psychic gift that revolves around the ability to smell outside
the standard range of human smelling. Perhaps you would smell something
before it happened (such as spilled food or a gas main break or fire). Perhaps
you
would be able to smell someone's vice on him or her before even
striking up conversation. The possibilities are virtually endless!
Clairsentience is the psychic gift that allows one to simply feel the
presence of something more. Whether that “more” is a spirit, a guide,
an ancestor, a demon, or what have you, this individual would sense
the physical (or spiritual) energy of that being before anyone else.
Clairvoyance is a more commonly-heard-of psychic gift that features
the ability to see information in one's mind. These people might
receive visions or see physical insights into others' lives, but the gist is
the same each time: things are always visual.
Divination is the general application of one's psychic gifts to find answers
to questions. Divination can be used in terms of reading palms, tea
leaves, I Ching, natal charts, tarot cards, crystals, runes, and so much
more.
Dowsing is a more old-school psychic gift that our ancestors used to
find things. Sometimes, dowsing is guided with a rod or sticks, but the
point is to find what's important to you (it was often water or shelter)
when you might even have no idea what you're looking for.
Empathy is a psychic gift that allows you to literally feel or take on the
emotions of another person. Empaths are often highly sensitive to the
feelings of others to a detrimental degree until they learn how to ground
themselves and protect their energy from all-too-natural invasion by
others.
Intuition is an underrated psychic gift, for it truly is an example of
precognition. Anyone whose intuition was right essentially received a
momentary glimpse into the future, so the next time your intuition is right,
be proud for you're unlocking psychic gifts as you live and breathe! There's
the first piece of proof!
Mediumship is the highly-coveted psychic ability of contacting those who
have passed. Many people are fascinated (if not obsessed) with
communing with the spirits of those who are no longer living, and
kundalini awakening can help you get there, but you'll really want to be
careful. Mediumship can be an incredibly draining gift, and it's not for the
faint of heart. I guess what I'm saying is this: be careful what you wish
for.
Premonition is the psychic ability of being able to see into the future.
This gift is often more symbolic than literal, but the gist is the same
whether the message is literal or figurative: the individual with the gift
of premonition will know of future events before they come to pass.
Psychometry is a sense-based psychic gift that connects the individual with
truth or facts about an object, thing, animal, place, or person just by touching
it. Retrocognition is the psychic ability of being able to see into the past with
varying degrees of detail. Sometimes, those glimpses are into one's past lives,
while other times, they're general peeks into the past that have no
relation to your experience (as far as you know!).
Telekinesis is a psychic ability that allows the individual to manipulate
matter with his or her mind, whether moving it, energizing it, or
otherwise. Telekinetic individuals can sometimes do such amazing
things as walk through walls, bend firm objects, trash a room without
being in it, call people to their aid without speaking, and more.
Telepathy is the final psychic gift we'll discuss, and it relates to the
power of the individual to communicate with others without opening
one's mouth. This alternative mode of communication would likely be
through thought, emotion, or vibration.
