In this article I am going to share how to have a genuine Kundalini Awakening – based off of my personal experience with spiritual awakening and Kundalini Yoga.

What is Kundalini Awakening?

Kundalini Awakening is when a person makes their spine flexible enough to allow their Kundalini Energy (Soul Intelligence) to physically climb from the base of their spine up through their higher Chakras.

My experience with Kundalini awakening was a gradual shift from 4D to 5D consciousness. It took many years and was very challenging/life altering. I hope that my description in this article will save people from some of the mistakes that I made, and make their process easier/more enjoyable.

Is it possible for me to have a Kundalini Awakening if I don’t have any experience with Yoga or Spirituality?

Yes. Anybody with a strong enough desire can awaken their Kundalini Energy System. The very first step that you can take, if this is your introduction – is to simply sit cross-legged on the ground. Gently and gradually move your limbs as you remain in the seated position, to figure out where in your body you feel tightness.

You can start, whenever you are ready, by doing some very gentle stretching to get a better feel for the overall condition of your body, and the condition of your Kundalini Energy System at this time.

Below are some vices that I highly recommend avoiding if you want to maximize your chances of having a powerful and successful Kundalini Yoga awakening:

Alcohol is unhelpful and should be avoided. Alcohol causes inflammation and is generally very unhealthy. If you’ve ever been in a crowded bar where a lot of people have been drinking – it smells very bad and just isn’t in alignment with having a genuine spiritual awakening.

Illegal drugs must be avoided if you are embarking on a journey of Kundalini awakening. The act of Kundalini Yoga (even just basic stretches) causes immense energetic releases and exchanges with the natural world and with the people around you.

I speak from personal experience when I say this – it is dangerous and Soul-corrupting to take any illegal drug while doing any serious spiritual work. There are many completely natural and legal substances that can be used to aid in Kundalini Yoga Awakening. At the beginning of your Kundalini journey – simply sticking to water and caffeine from tea/coffee is your best bet (if you even choose to use caffeine).

I cannot recommend using marijuana either, even if it is legal where you live. Vaping, smoking, or eating food with THC extracted from cannabis is aligned with escapism and hedonism more than anything else. This activity is not in alignment with someone seeking a transformative spiritual experience. Anything that you can buy at a smoke shop, or anything used as a “pain killer” (you’re trying to become more Conscious, to feel more, right?) should also be avoided.

Electronic vices to avoid:

Sure, regularly stretching and getting a feel for how to make your spine/limbs more flexible is a great way to introduce yourself to Kundalini Awakening. Avoiding unhelpful mind-altering substances will purify your energy enough to safely progress as you embark on this spiritual journey.

On top of this, you will benefit from becoming mindful of your use of electronics and your consumption of media.

I have discovered through my own spiritual awakening experience that spending time on YouTube, watching television/movies, using social media, or visiting taboo websites actually led to me having energetic attachments that were very, very difficult to clear as I did Kundalini Yoga.

I found that these attachments actually hid inside of my spine, close to my main chakras, and made me generally very inflexible. You may find that some of the tightest, most uncomfortable muslces in your body, are where you have similar energetic attachments. Save yourself the time and suffering that I went through – and free yourself from these vices as soon as you can.

I know that this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but if you want to experience a genuine Kundalini Awakening, it’s best to separate yourself from electronics as much as possible. It wasn’t until I completely abstained from electronic media that I made any measurable, steady progress. You will also benefit from being mindful of the amount of time, and the energetic quality, of the music you listen to.

The real world is a very interesting and vibrant place. I found that I not only got to enjoy life more when I stayed away from electronic media, but I made very profound progress on my spiritual journey as well.

Now that I am avoiding unhelpful substances, and spending less time using electronics – How can I make progress with Kundalini Awakening?

This is the fun part. If you can stay away from the vices I have already mentioned and get a steady routine of stretching going, you are in a very good spot to experience a transformative Kundalini Awakening.

Make sure to set aside at least 15 minutes, every day, to focus on stretching. I’m not a medical expert so I’m not going to tell you what stretches to do or how to stretch safely. There are websites run by medical professionals who can show you that. Or, if you are like me, you can use your intuition when deciding what stretches to do and what areas of your body to release tightness – and make that part of your spiritual practice.

With that said – never limit yourself to how much time you are willing to commit as you make significant progress. You might find that dedicating an entire day when you “hit your stride” is the right move. It’s all about consistency and committment (and safety).

Kundalini Yoga is a spiritual practice. You do Kundalini Yoga to gain Consciousness, so you will benefit as you eventually use your own Awareness to identify what parts of your body you need to work on as you continue being fully committed to your stretching routine.

Then, as you continue to focus on stretching different areas of your body, you will actually be able to feel your energy shift as you make progress and become more flexible. You will slowly but surely raise your vibration, become more Conscious, and experience a higher quality of life.

I made a lot of progress while teaching myself how to use foam rollers, yoga blocks, and light weights to add resistance while stretching. I also highly recommend having access to a pull-up bar to hang from, to regularly release tension from your spine and aid in flexibility.

What do I need to be careful about as I continue my Kundalini Awakening routine?

Stretching is a very gradual process. Get to know your body and when it is and isn’t acceptable to push yourself. Remember that the key is to have a more flexible spine (in accordance with having very flexible limbs – arms, shoulder, legs, hips, etc), so that your Kundalini energy is physically able to move up through your chakra system.

Sometimes that extra few seconds of discomfort on a foam roller will lead to a rewarding release, while other times you may be risking injury. It’s your responsibility to be intuitive and intentional, as Kundalini Awakening is all about becoming more Conscious.

Think of it this way – You already have to take your body with you everywhere that you go, so you might as well put some effort in to being intentional about getting to know how it operates.

As you become more skilled at stretching and releasing tension within your body and your spine, you may start to notice those negative energetic attachments that I had mentioned earlier. You get these unfortunate attachments from drug use, electronic vices, trauma from your past, or even just sitting/walking with poor posture.

As you get better at releasing physical tension, it’s important to be mindful of the emotions you begin to feel as these releases happen.

As you do more complex and intense stretches – you might actually experience flashbacks from your past – where emotional or physical trauma actually caused your body to begin tightening up.

In my very personal experience, my most productive “releases” were actually somewhat distressing and traumatic at times. There were instances where I said “Ok, these releases are causing my mind to race and I feel more emotional than usual. I need to take a break”

One thing that helped me through these more difficult releases is remembering to not take my thoughts/emotions too seriously as I work on Kundalini Yoga, and to learn how to recognize and control my emotions no matter what activity I’m doing.

Even when I had flashbacks or felt intense emotions as my limbs/spine became more flexible, I made sure to remind myself that those spikes in my emotions are simply part of the process of Kundalini Awakening. I didn’t carry those emotions with me the rest of the day when I interacted with other people or did other activities.

I hope that as you embark on your Kundalini Awakening journey you progress safely and quickly. One thing to keep in mind is that the “work” doesn’t end with avoiding vices and having a very consistent daily routine that you learn to enjoy and commit to…

As you become more conscious – You might also notice that you are becoming more “sensitive” to the world around you.

In my experience, this sensitivity is somewhat uncomfortable to deal with at first, but as you learn to manage intense feelings and emotions, especially around other people who are very intense, it becomes easier to deal with over time. Managing sensitivity from increasing in Consciousness is just like working out a muscle – the more you practice, the less painful it is to deal with over time.

The important thing is to become aware of when you are becoming more sensitive, and to act level-headed at all times, so you can quickly return to an easy and joyful vibrational baseline of Consciousness during challenging situations, or dealing with challenging people, in your day to day life.

Kundalini Awakening is a process that seems like it never really ends. Even after I successfully released negative attachments and energetically taxing cords, I find that there is always immense progress to be made and healing to be achieved.

Kundalini Energy is a physical manifestation of your Infinite Intelligence as a powerful and unique spiritual Being. The best use of your time, in this day and age, is getting to know and becoming One with Your Infinte Intelligence.

I hope that some of my advice ends up being helpful, and I wish you the best of luck on your Kundalini Awakening Journey.
