In this post, I will share my personal experience with you, but first, let’s explore what “Kundalini” is.
What Is a Kundalini Awakening?
There are seven subtle energy centres across our spine called ‘Chakras’. Kundalini is a form of energy (or Shakti), which is located at the base of our spine in the lowermost chakra called Mooladhara chakra (or base chakra).
However, when this energy, known as Kundalini, is awakened, it moves upwards and crosses six chakras. The names of the six chakras are in ascending order. The Mooladhara, Swadishthana, Manipura, Anahata, Vishuddhi, and Ajna.
After Kundalini crosses these six chakras, it reaches even higher to the uppermost chakra at the top of our head, called the Sahasrara chakra (or Crown chakra).
Once Kundalini reaches the Sahasrara chakra, the process is considered a ‘full Kundalini awakening’. And this full Kundalini awakening is extremely rare! Most people experience only partial awakenings, but not a full Kundalini awakening.
My Experience
I experienced a full Kundalini awakening in August 2014 at the age of 31. The awakening was the turning point of my life. It transformed me completely.
I had never heard about the word ‘Kundalini’ before my awakening. However, it was after my awakening that I researched the internet for information about my signs and symptoms. I discovered that what I experienced was a phenomenon known as ‘Kundalini Awakening’.
I used to practice Pranayama (which I still do), a part of Yoga. Pranayama is a group of ancient Indian breathing exercises. It is considered to be one of the sources of awakening the Kundalini.
But it is not certain that a person who practices Pranayama or other techniques can awaken their Kundalini.
So many people practice Pranayama, meditation, and other techniques for years, yet still do not experience a Kundalini awakening.
On the other hand, some people don’t do anything but still experience a full Kundalini awakening accidentally!
My awakening was a roller-coaster ride, and its signs and symptoms were extremely uncomfortable.
My Signs And Symptoms
Negative
- Involuntary jerks, especially in the arms and legs, were like someone was giving me electric shocks.
- Pressure inside the skull as if my skull were about to explode
- Mood Swings
- Insomnia
- Increased sensitivity to light and sound.
- Psychosis (I lost touch with reality)
- Decreased sexual desire
- Loss of appetite
- Pain in back and neck
Positive
- Heightened Intuition
- Due to increased intuition, I was getting spiritual wisdom, and I had a shift in consciousness
- Increased IQ
- Dissolution of Ego
- Reduced interest in materialism
- Falling in love with the higher power of the universe (The Source or God)
- Finally, understanding my purpose for being here in this world
My Purpose
After experiencing a Kundalini awakening, I came to understand my purpose for being in this world. And that is to increase the consciousness of the world with all the true knowledge which I gained after my awakening.
I have already started my mission. I have already written a spiritual book and now have started this blog.
Being a writer, I never feel that it is I who is writing. In fact, I often feel that it is a higher power guiding me to write. And, as a medium, I am only used for writing, and words flow on their own.
I always feel that I am a non-doer. I have completely surrendered myself to the higher power of the universe. I am just flowing downstream with its flow.
I have experienced extreme pain and suffering in my past since my childhood. But I never ever feel that I deserve a Kundalini awakening.
I believe I have been sent here to make this world a better place. And if I can do so, I will feel that my birth has been meaningful.
When you succeed in awakening the Kundalini, so that it starts to move out of its mere potentiality, you necessarily start a world which is totally different from our world. It is the world of eternity.
