What is Kundalini Awakening?

Many people will ask what is Kundalini Awakening? Kundalini is a sort of cosmic feminine energy said to rest at the base of the spine, the location of the Muladhara or root chakra. It’s also called “Kundalini Shakti” when in its dormant state.  At different life stages, it can awaken and shake up our lives and may also be misunderstood.

If your kundalini is awakened, you will experience herightening emotions and potentially miraculous events that you would not imagine before. On kundalini awakening, your greater divine intelligence is aroused from a dormant state and you become able to give birth to a new range of creativity. Your body and everything respond in a completely different way as a new energy is unleashed.

This awakening leads to the energy rising through the chakras, or energy centers, up to the crown of the head, resulting in profound spiritual, emotional, and physical transformations.  On kundalini awakening, a surge of spiritual energy enters into the sushumna nadi and moves from the base of the spine up through the energy centres (chakras) towards the top of the head—the crown chakra. Kundalini awakening causes experiencer to transform on the mental, emotional, and spiritual levels.Kundalini Yoga is one ancient practice that can help you harness this powerful energy.  Still, yoga means union and varied yoga traditions and practices can bring one into unity and also activate kundalini. It is wise to have a guide during your journey so you do not integrate too much energy too fast.  Yoga practices exist to help “uncoil the serpent”,  reconnect us to our divine essence.

In Sanskrit language, Kundalini means “coiled snake”. is the metaphor for the name of a sleeping dormant potential energy in the human body, situated at the root of the spinal column.  All humans have this spiritual energy . When it’s still, it is in a dormant state. Only when it moves will you know how powerful the energy is.

Reminders of unlimited power

Dreams remind you of unlimited being. Are you aware? You may hear you hold untapped abilities, resources and brain power, but do you really take this to heart? 

Look closely. During dreamtime, you do not question how it is you are able to fly, have superhuman powers, breathe under water, walk through walls, feel suffering or pain of other creatures as if it is your own, activate invisibility, or do other things that the human mind says you cannot. Imagine your doubt dissipates.   Let go of fear you nurture from childhood.

As you strengthen your conscious dream recall, you begin to sense how it feels to be in more than one place, to adopt more than one form, gender, and role, and to participate in more than one story. Each level of reality has its own relevance to your beliefs.  Notice what is being offered.  You are not here to assume, but to be open to exploring.  Part of you observes all stories, deepens insight into emotion, bilocates and more.  Watch your wings unfold.

The curtains of the mind slowly open to reveal what it is to be omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent.  Notice the shakti energy, what emerges naturally, and how you attune to it. Notice what you are allowing to penetrate and what you resist accepting about "you." It all points to the witness that sees through your eyes. This witness observes through all other bodies.  You see within your own direct experience how barriers to receptivity break down. 

Follow the impulse of curiosity. Based on what feels natural to you, integrate into it as a living reality.  Notice who is supporting you during your evolution. You are educated to measure and to judge yourself and to disregard innate knowing.  Nobody can give you who you are.  Open up to the heart of sincerity.  Be willing to explore without limitations.  Nobody exists.  You still feel what its like to be the characters you watch and imagine.

To recall the essence of unlimited power then, contemplate why are you searching, why the mind tells you to reach for the unattainable.  Notice your vision of fulfillment is feeling alone, but grounded in multi-sensual, multi-dimensional experience.  Notice possibilities you may be excluding.  Your reality is opening into a bigger world. Your perspective is shifting.
