The power of kundalini is said to be enormous. Those having experienced it claim it to be indescribable. The phenomena associated with it varies from bizarre physical sensations and movements, pain, clairaudience, visions, brilliant lights, superlucidity, psychical powers, ecstasy, bliss, and transcendence of self. Kundalini has been described as liquid fire and liquid light.
Inside every human being there is a network of nerves and sensory organs that interprets the outside physical world.
At the same time, within us resides a subtle system of channels (nadis) and centers of energy (chakras) which look after our physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual being.
Each of the seven chakras has several spiritual qualities. These qualities are intact within us, and even though they might not always be manifest, they can never be destroyed.
When the Kundalini is awakened, these qualities start manifesting spontaneously and express themselves in our life.
Thus, through regular meditation, we become automatically very dynamic, creative, confident and at the same time very humble, loving and compassionate. It is a process which starts to develop by itself when the Kundalini rises and starts to nourish our chakras.
Kundalini and the Chakras
According to eastern religious and spiritual practices, Kundalini is the energy of the soul and resides within one of seven chakras, or energy centers, that stretch from the base of the spine to the top of one’s head. Depicted as a coiled serpent, Kundalini energy is located at the base of the spine.Chakras in the Human Body
Stretching from the base of the spine to the top of the head are seven chakras, or energy centers. Depicted as “wheels” of energy that are constantly in motion, the chakras govern the overall functions of the human body, from our organs to our emotions.Underactive, overactive, and blocked chakras can cause disruptions in the flow of energy along the spinal column creating chakra imbalances. Until the imbalance is corrected, a range of maladies can occur, including intense stress, emotional instability, and physical illness.
The root chakra plays an important role when dealing with Kundalini energy. Kundalini is the raw energy that resides within the root chakra, also known as the Muladhara chakra. Frequently depicted as a serpent, Kundalini is associated with the maternal/feminine energy known as Shakti.
Kundalini Rising
As you initially raise Kundalini energy through life experience, meditation, and yoga you become more sensitive to vibrational energy. With increased preception, your overall understanding about life deepens.Gaining experience and knowledge feeds Kundalini Shakti, or maternal energy as it is sometimes called. It’s a progressive relationship that takes time and patience.
Think about a subject that really caught your interest when you were young. Maybe it was science or history. Whatever the case, remember how you simply couldn’t get enough? Once you learned a little about it, you wanted to know everything about the topic? The same type of seemingly insatiable curiosity applies to clarity here.
With knowledge comes clarity, and with clarity comes awakening. When kundalini energy rises and activates the all the energy centers, it results in what is called a kundalini awakening.
Kundalini Awakening Benefits
There are numerous kundalini awakening benefits and if we will start explaining them one by one, then it will take ages for us to list them. But here I am explaining some of the major and most immediate benefits that you can actually feel just after the awakening.
Kundalini Awakening Benefits #1 – Health Benefits
Kundalini is no rocket science rather it is a way of life. Kundalini is very useful in treating and preventing health issues both external as well as internal. Awakened kundalini can cure the common health problems like gastric and indigestion to severe and deadliest diseases like tumours and cancer. In some cases it is believed that the power of kundalini has also treated AIDS and that too at advanced stage. Personally I am witness to a few testimonials in which patients suffering for years from internal ulcer formations cured their disease completely after their kundalini awakening. Veterans from medical science were also in a state of surprise after witnessing overnight improvement in their health condition.Kundalini Awakening Benefits #2 – Intuitive and psychic enhancements
Although kundalini is not meant for achieving psychic abilities, but the awakened kundalini blesses the practitioner with heightened ESP (Extra Sensory Perception), strong intuition and psychic powers as its by-product. With the wise intent and mind of faith, following psychic powers may be also be developed over time :Clairaudience :
Clairaudience is the ability to listen things like words, sounds and music coming from different dimensions which is inaudible to normal human ears. Some clairaudient use this skill to communicate with spirits and energies from the other side.
Clairvoyance :
Clairvoyance is the ability of seeing things like energies, object, person, location or physical events and gaining information about them that a normal person cannot see or feel by any chance.
Telepathy :
Telepathy is an ability to communicate with others with the help of our mind and thoughts. The one to whom we are trying to connect and communicate should also possess the same ability. Amazingly, we can use telepathy to communicate with anyone we can think of… yes I literally mean anyone!! Be it human beings, animals, spirit guides, ascended masters, intelligent life forms or angels
Remote viewing :
Remote viewing is a practice through which one uses ESP to see other people, things and places located at distant locations without being physically present .
Astral Projection :
Do you wish to experience how it feels when flying in open air ???? Do you wish to touch clouds and feel the blow of air on your face while you are flying like a free bird? Can we as human beings do all this in reality??The answer is YES by the means of astral projection. Astral projection is an outstanding and extraordinary experience practising which “WE CAN FLY”.
As a kid we all must have wondered at least once that why can’t we fly. As we grew up we got the answer that it is the design of our physical body which don’t allow us to fly but nothing can stop our astral body to do so.
Astral projection or Astral travel is an alias for OBE (Outer Body Experience) in which the practitioner separates his physical body with his astral or etheric body. Once the astral body is separated, the practitioner attains super consciousness also known as samadhi and can travel distant locations like different countries, different planets, galaxies and even different dimensions and planes of existence.
Kundalini awakening benefits #3 – Increased Focus and concentration :
Ajna chakra which is also known as third eye is mostly responsible for concentration and focusing abilities. When kundalini awakens, it clears and balance all the 7 chakras including the ajna chakra (brow chakra) , thereby increasing our focus and concentration capabilities.
Kundalini awakening benefits #4 – Better human being :.
There will be a significant change in personality of a person after kundalini awakening. You will become more aware and conscious. You will feel your existence like never before and be more present. You shall realize the truth and facts much clearly behind everything you see, hear or feel.Kundalini awakening benefits #5 – Balanced and cleared chakras :
Awakened kundalini also clears and balances all the 7 chakras for beginners. Chakra cleansing means clearing of all sort of mental and emotional blockages, there by making us more loving, creative, strong willed and successful human being.
21 Kundalini Awakening Symptoms

Ways to awaken Kundalini
Many people want to know how to awaken the Kundalini. And as there are techniques for Kundalini Awakening, most of the techniques are kept secret by masters until the student is ready to receive them.
Here is a very powerful technique for Kundalini Awakening based on a Kriya Yoga technique. This technique will not only awaken the Kundalini energy, moving you towards spiritual enlightenment, it also can improve your health and remove all stress and unhappiness in your life.
This Kriya Technique for Kundalini Awakening is probably one of the easiest ways to enter a blissful state of meditation. It is what would be termed a “purifying technique” as it will purify the energy channels of your body allowing more energy or Shakti to move through.
I will explain the technique in three parts:
The first part of this technique for kundalini awakening is to focus your breath starting at the base of your spine all the way up your spine and out of the top of your head. Do this for the inhale. As you inhale move your focus from the base of your spine, up the spine and out of the top of your head as though your are “breathing up” the energy.
You do not need to imagine anything. This is not about imagination but focus. Focus your breath to move up the spine and out the top of your head.
And the focus should be relaxed. You are not to force anything. You are simply gently suggesting the energy to move in this direction. So do focus the energy up but allow the kundalini energy to move on it’s own without force.
It may seem quite strange to focus your breath where your breath does not go but it is very effective. Breath is energy, “prana.” And simply by focusing the breath in a certain area, the energy moves to that area.
After practicing this for a while, you will start to feel the energy rising. The sensations will be subtle at first but over time can become very blissful. It can almost feel like an orgasm, a rush of bliss moving up your spine.
The second part of this technique for kundalini awakening is it to move the breath down your front as you exhale.
As you exhale, move the breath from the top of your head to the third eye, (located between your eyebrows) then to your throat and then to your heart chakra, located at the center of your chest.
Stop the breath at the center of your chest. And then again, inhale from the base of your spine, repeating the process above.
The third part of this technique for kundalini awakening is to awaken the energy. Because an enlightened teacher would not give this technique without initiating you into this technique. This calls for the teacher to give you shaktipat, to actually awaken your kundalini by touch, chanting or simply by focusing their energy on you.
So to awaken this energy yourself, there is an easy technique but a very important one. And that is to silently repeat the name of an enlightened teacher, Guru or Saint that you feel connected to whether you have met them or not. If you are of a particular religion, you can repeat the name of a saint of that religion. Otherwise, choose an enlightened teacher who you admire.
You can repeat the name as you inhale, and repeat the name as you exhale. The reason for this is that you take on the Shakti (energy) of what you focus on. So simply by repeating the name of an enlightened Guru or Saint, you take on their energy, their state of bliss. This technique is thousands of years old and is still used today because it is so effective.
If this step makes you uncomfortable, you can repeat “peace” instead.
Really, you are awakening that which is in you, not something from the outside. But enlightened teachers are the outward manifestation of what is inside you. A Saint or Guru have awakened what you wish also to awaken. So by focusing on their name, you awaken that energy in you. It has nothing to do with them as a personality or body but the energy that naturally radiates from them.
