What is Kundalini

The word kundalini literally means “vital force”. The kundalini, also known as the Shakti (Sanskrit word). It is a fiery energy or power that lies at the base of our spine, where the root chakra is placed. It is considered to be the feminie life force energy. 

The best way to describe “kundalini” in a creative way, I would like to share my experience with you. 

The arousal of a dormant or sleeping energetic force that lies at the base of the spine  ready to be released through circulation”.

Rudolf Steiner, an Australian Architect described it as the “inner ruler” that governs life.

When the kundalini is awakened, it influences our thoughts, drives, and our ability to interact with the world. 

The first step in awakening the kundalini is to recognize that it exists and it is a real phenomenon.

What are chakras

The seven chakras are energy centres in our bodies. They are located along our spinal cord and are associated with specific organs and body functions.They are linked to our emotions, physical bodies, and consciousness.

When our chakras are activated and well-functioning, they provide us with physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. 

When our chakras are blocked or uninhibited, our physical, emotional, and spiritual well being are not satisfactory. 

When both our chakras and our kundalini are balanced, we are in a state of physical, emotional, and spiritual equilibrium.

My kundalini awakening process

The trigger for my kundalini awakening and activating chakras begin with the desire to heal people. Many people want immediate relief who are suffering from any health issue and / or energetic cause.

Like others I was very keen to know about my true self. I hit the bottom after losing many things in life. I was serving clients to meet their nutrition needs. It was all going good. 

To serve better I was searching continuously for alternative methods to heal the pain of people. 

I was divinely guided by birth. In January, 2017, I personally took initiation for my first Reiki session to unblock my blockages regarding career and financial stablity.It helped me lot. 

In Apirl, 2018, suddenly I talked to my spiritual mentor and asked for guidance. He replied now it’s the time to be spiritual. Start meditation. You’ll find answers to all your queries.

I immediately started meditation. After one year of doing meditation, my soul urged me to ask for help. I consulted a tarot reader. She opened my eyes. 

She said you’ll be awakened and would become the light worker. You’ll remain in the same Health and wellness industry, but the nature of working would be different. 

She had given me Black Obsidian crystal bracelet. The moment I wore it on my right wrist, it was a miracle. I immediately felt something happening to me. 

After one week, I noticed a sensation on my back and little leg cramps during sleep. It was the sign of my Root chakra opening. 

I focused and activated the root/base chakra. 

Divination work through Pendulum Dowsing

I started divination work. I explored, developed and mastered my intuition. My intuition helped me to find answers and I continued to evolve. 

One-by-one my all chakras started to open and activated. Today I give intuitive guidance to help others in activating chakras, spiritual awakening and soul evolution. 

I’m sharing my experience how I activated my chakras under the separate headking “what are the stages of kundalini awaking”.

How to know, your Kundalini is awakening

For many people, it is the first time they experience a strong drive or power coming from the lower center, which is known in Sanskrit as the Muladhara Chakra. It is also called the root chakra, the base chakra.

Some people experience intense heat while others experience tingling around Third-Eye chakra. Many people feel intense physical sensations.

How to handle and deal with Kundalini awakening

During the kundalini awakening process, which can occur after years of spiritual practice, intense physical sensations and feelings are common. It’s common to feel a sense of fear or discomfort during the first stage of the process. 

With patience and over time the sensations become easier to handle. Some people even experience breakthroughs in their spiritual development and new abilities in the months following their kundalini awakening.

What is Kundalini Yoga

It is very important to maintain a balanced equilibrium between mind and body. You can do hatha yoga, meditation, exercise, barefoot walk on grass to optimize your physical and mental well being. 

Channeling the kundalini is an extensive, detailed, and complex process. It is believed that the kundalini has been awakened and activated by certain types of meditation,  breathwork, and yoga, which collectively are known as “Kundalini Yoga”.

Prayer for Kundalini Awakening

Each day, when you wake up, it is the moral duty of each individual to immerse himself in the practice of prayer and few mantra. You can start citing these words; “Dear God, the Universe/the Creator I pray, honour, respect, remember, call and invite you.

Dear God,  through the kundalini awakening process, please awaken me, so that I may fully realize my oneness with you. 

I am one with you, my God. 

I am one with the Universe. 

I am one with the Divine.

Honest and sincere prayer throughout the day is a practice of continuous consciousness.

Dear God, We thank you for this chance to connect with you, your wisdom, your compassion and your love. We realize that we have a lot of work to do, and we humbly ask for your guidance and help. Amen.

Physical symptoms during Kundalini awakening

As the kundalini energy awakens, you may experience a variety of symptoms, ranging from mild increase in energy and physical sensations to profound psychological changes. 

Some people experience only a few of these symptoms while others experience many of them. It is common to experience physical sensations such as increased energy and body heat, as well as feelings such as joy, peace, and happiness. 

Some people experience profound spiritual or philosophical changes such as a greater sense of connection with the universe or a profound new understanding of life and the universe.

What are the signs of awakening kundalini

During the process, some of the most common kundalini awakening signs include anxiety, fear, paranoia, and a feeling of depression.

It is important to notice these signs, as they pass, your mind and body become cleaner and more pure. They will also subside as your consciousness raises. It allows you to access a deeper state of consciousness and connect with your higher self.

When someone undergoes kundalini awakening, he may experience a wide variety of physical and mental signs. These range from mild changes in perception to wild and vivid hallucinations and everything in between.

Phases of Kundalini awakening

Generally two phases of kundalini awakening occur. The first is the awakening of kundalini when your lower chakras are opened. Mainly root chakra also known as 

muladhara chakra, sacral chakra /svadhisthana chakra, and solar plexus chakra.

The second is the awakening of the full kundalini, which occurs as energy is drawn into the central channel and travels up to the top of your head, the crown chakra. 

What are the stages of Kundalini awakening

The spiritual mentors who have embraced Kundalini awakening, they have their own experiences. You’ll find different views about the stages of kundalini awakening. 

There is no fixed rule. It is a natural process. It depends person to person.

Many issues like childhood trauma, past life karmas, painful life experiences, near to death experience, relationship problems, and financial problems play an important role during kundalini awakening. 

These issues define the stages involved in the process. We have 7 main chakras, the energy centres. Each chakra has its own characteristics. These chakras affect our thought process and pure consciousness. 

When kundalini, the feminine life force energy is released and activated, it further penetrates to open the base chakra. As this energy flows upwards and penetrates other chakras, one-by-one each upper chakra is opened.

I’ve experienced the chakras opening closely. I worked on each chakra, focused and then activated. 

There are mainly 4 kundalini awakening stages.

Based on my personal experience, I’m sharing the different stages as below: –

First stage

In this stage you are mentally prepared for your soul journey. You may have trauma issues, depression, anxiety. You may remember your past hurt, pain and other painful life experiences. 

Dark night of soul
Dark night of soul

You are being prepared to heal all your issues. Embrace the soul journey. Know your true self and your spiritual gifts. 

Forgive yourself and others, who once hurt you. Take initiation towards the process.

It involves allowing energy channels to open, which will allow for the opening of kundalini centres and the release of energy within these centres. 

It will trigger you to do some prana yoga, pranayama, exercise, and meditation for maintaining balance. 

You will feel higher spiritual experiences in this stage. You start to see synchronicity, the number patterns like 11:11, 04:04, 03:03, 2:22 and many more. 

Your intuition is highlighted. You may have dreams and other paranormal spiritual experiences.

The divine source guides you to pay attention and see these numbers and prepare yourself for next stages. 

Continue to do chakra meditation for activating upper chakras.

Second stage

It is a less-examined stage as it includes higher profound spiritual encounters which a couple of individuals go through. In this stage, the Kundalini power begins moving past physical and mental encounters. A portion of the impeded energies that couldn’t get released in the first stage will begin to release in this stage.

This is the stage when an individual will begin scrutinizing his convictions that were molded by his family and society. They begin bantering on the designed convictions and ways of behaving.

You feel a strong urge to know your true identity, your spiritual gifts and your soul purpose. 

You follow the divine law of responsibility. It triggers you to take responsibility and build your foundation strong. You start sensing a feeling of security.

In this way the energy penetrates your root chakra to open it. This chakra represents your survival, security and trust. This is the root of your chakra system to be activated.

Once the root chakra is opened and activated, the energy flows up in Sacral chakra. Focus on this chakra  which administers your sexuality and your female/male equilibrium. 

Balance your both feminie and musculine fiery energy. 

Creativity, Intuition, birth of new ideas, passion, and nurturing are few examples of feminine fiery energy.

Active, giver, projective, outward, and expansive are few examples of musculine fiery energy.

Develop these qualities that you are lacking and have a balanced approach to find equilibrium. Do some yoga nidra. You may take help from yoga teacher.

Once the sacral chakra is activated, the kundalini further releases the energy to penetrate and open the Solar-plexus chakra. 

Focus on Solar-plexus chakra and its characteristics. Develop your self esteem. Love yourself and honour your identity. Be receptive and see the world around you with love, not with anger and pride. Feel your emotions and gently express your feelings with others. 

Go with the flow, don’t try to control any resistance. In this stage you finally develop your imagination, creativity, intuition and a feeling of security.

Third stage

This is an important stage, as your heart chakra is about to open. The kundalini power moves up and penetrates the heart chakra for opening. 

The heart chakra activation opens the gateway towards your DESTINY.

Relationships and perceptions of love from people around us are the main characteristics of this chakra. 

You are blessed with unconditional love of God and divine source. Thus you develop the good attribute in giving  and receiving unconditional love. 

You start doing things with passion and simultaneously you’ve compassion for others. 

Once the heart chakra is activated, the energy further moves up to the throat chakra.

Expression and communication are main characteristics of this chakra. 

When you are struggling to communicate and express your feelings freely, this is the sign your throat chakra is blocked. 

Focus on this chakra, listen to your own voice, and  have confidence. Let Kundalini power flows through this chakra for activation.  

Fourth stage

Finally the kundalini power moves up and penetrates the Third Eye chakra. 

Identifying your spiritual being, spiritual gifts, and intuition are governed by this chakra. 

The third eye chakra / ajna chakra is also represented as the unconscious mind. Once this chakra is activated you view clearly the real you, your true self and your spiritual gifts. 

Your intuition is highlighted. Your human consciousness is further increased by practicing divination work to develop and expand your intuition. Once you connect with your higher-self, you’ll discover many things. Your intuition will guide you throughout the soul journey. You will start making the right decisions.

Don’t look for spiritual enlightenment, go with the flow.

At this stage your trust in God and divine source is 100%. You feel spiritual energy and divine feminine energy. You want to communicate more with God and divine source.

The desire to communicate with God / divine source triggers to open and activate the Crown chakra/agya chakra. This chakra is concerned with unity or separation issues. This is our root with our heavenly father/God. 

The crown chakra connects your spirit with God. Focus and work on this chakra, let kundalini power activates it. Once it is activated, practice daily to connect with God.

This is the final stage. In this stage the kundalini (shakti), the divine feminine fiery energy finally meets the musculin fiery energy, the creator (lord shiva).

The whole process of kundalini awakening in this stage is known as spiritual liberation. 

It is important to actvate 7 main chakras so that energy flows freely. While processing chakras activation, you also remove the layers of illusions, placed on them.

Myths about kundalini

Is it dangerous

No, it is not dangerous if your kundalini is awakened and activated. When you have a pure, honest and true desire to connect with God/divine source and to do good things, nothing seems dangerous.

When you try to misuse your kundalini awakening power, it may cause you some serious attacks. 

Disconnected with family and friends

Very few people in the world do spiritual work. Many people don’t believe in kundalini awakening and chakras activation. Not all are meant to have kundalini awakening.  

Many people are not chosen by God to have this spiritual experience.

Therefore it is possible that you may feel disconnected with your family and friends.

You can’t share your blissful experience with them because they don’t believe.

Every soul on Earth has its own personal stage. 

Sometimes your family and friends support you in your soul journey. They believe what you say. They also support you towards your soul purpose in this lifetime. In this case you may not feel disconnected with your family and friends.
