Balancing Shiva and Shakti: Healing Childhood Trauma through Kundalini Energy

Part of my Kundalini and Mental Health guide · Teachings by Guru Sanju

Background

During our session, powerful symbols revealed themselves. She felt strong arms holding her close—the unmistakable sign that Shiva, consciousness itself, had entered her life. Negativity dissolved, divine forces began to bless her, and a new chapter of healing opened. The discourse that follows distills that entire experience into teachings and techniques any seeker can practice.

The Entry of Shiva and the Balance of Energies

When I looked into her field, I saw powerful forces moving—negativity leaving and luminous symbols emerging. It was as if divine hands had embraced her.
This was Shiva entering—the masculine consciousness merging with the feminine energy.

I told her:
“You are a union of Kundalini, the Shakti energy, and Shiva, the still awareness within. When your masculine energy weakens, you feel unsafe and insecure. When it strengthens, you feel protected and centered. When Shakti becomes hyperactive, you stay in motion—always doing, always chasing tasks, without rest. The secret is balance.”

Just as the body has the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, the energy body has solar and lunar flows. When these are balanced, the vagus nerve remains active, ensuring mental and physical health.

The Solar and Lunar Currents

Within your subtle system flows Surya nadi—the solar current of activeness—and Chandra nadi—the lunar current of calm surrender. When Surya dominates, stress increases; when Chandra dominates, lethargy arises. The two must merge to awaken Sushumna, the central channel.

When Sushumna flows, your health stabilizes, the mind becomes quiet, and life unfolds from consciousness rather than compulsion.
Your present sadhana, I told her, is the journey to strengthen Shiva and integrate Shakti with him—so that peace replaces restlessness.

Acceptance of Life and the Mystery of Death

I spoke to her about acceptance:
“In this life, anything can change in a moment. You may live now and die the next instant, and that would be fine; the real pain arises not from death but from fearing the loss of others.”

When acceptance dawns, you see the broader truth—the universe gives birth; we merely participate.
You do not give life to your child; you only nurture what the universe creates through you. Recognizing this truth frees you from over-attachment and unnecessary guilt.

A mother often suffers because of identification—my child, my responsibility, my failure. Detach from the role and you will serve better.
When Shiva energy awakens, you become both father and mother to your children—providing a father’s protection and a mother’s love.

The New Way of Motherhood

Dr Roopa has two sons—one eight, one thirteen—living separately between parents. I told her:

“Be like a father—watchful, steady, establishing discipline and boundaries.
Be like a mother—soft, open, creating a space where your sons can share anything.
What your own parents could not give you, give to them now.”

The moment she accepts that the universe, not she, is the ultimate caretaker, motherhood becomes light, conscious, and sacred.

Healing through Feeling and Release

Her nervous system carried deep imprints—unsafe childhood, abuse, betrayal. I asked her to feel the pain fully. Suppression blocks healing; only expression purges trauma.

“Cry,” I said. “Let every memory surface. Feel it completely, and release it through the breath.”

The Purging Technique

1. Sit or stand in privacy.
2. Recall the pain or image.
3. Allow tears or trembling; do not suppress.
4. Exhale slowly through the mouth.
5. Let the breath be long and audible.
6. Keep exhaling until the emotion empties.

This mouth exhalation burns the stored energy of pain. Repeat as many times as necessary until calmness replaces heaviness.

The External Kumbhaka: Breath of Integration

The main healing technique for her was inhale–exhale–hold after exhalation.

How to Practice

1. Sit comfortably with the spine upright.
2. Inhale slowly through the nose.
3. Exhale completely.
4. Hold the breath after exhalation—external kumbhaka.
5. When the urge to breathe arises, inhale gently and repeat.

Perform this 500 times a day—five sets of one hundred. During each cycle, stay relaxed, never forceful.
If the mind floods with thought, stand, walk, and continue the mouth exhalation until the thoughts dissolve.

This single discipline will empty your mind, balance your inner sun and moon, tone the vagus nerve, and open the central channel.

Cleansing the Home, Lighting the Lamp

I instructed her to stay physically active. Do not sit idle; movement keeps energy flowing.
Clean the house daily—dust, arrange, wipe. Let the outer order mirror the inner clarity.

The Lamp Practice

Keep a diya or safe lamp lit in your home as a symbol of divine light.
If possible, maintain it twenty-four hours, or at least for long durations each day.
Decorate the altar with flowers and offer gratitude to Shiva—the consciousness that now protects you.

This light invites higher vibrations and keeps the energy of the home pure. When thoughts of the past return, look at the flame and breathe out through the mouth until peace returns.

Releasing the Past and the People in It

I told her firmly:
“Those who harmed you have left physically but live in your mind. It is time to evict them. Do not host them another day.”

The moment you stop giving mental space to old relationships, energy begins to integrate. The separation may not yet be legal, but spiritually it must be final.

I reminded her:
“From morning till night, this is your life. Others exist only as karmic clouds. Let them pass. Forget relationship entanglements. Trust the universe to balance every karma.”

The Law of Energy and Detachment

Those who caused suffering will face their consequences. The universe corrects every imbalance.
Your duty is to focus on health, peace, and success. When happiness radiates through you, dark energies cannot survive.

“Your happiness will destroy the demons,” I said.
“When your light grows, the shadows vanish.”

This is not revenge; it is energetic law. You need not curse anyone—rise, and their power over you dissolves.

Case History, Confidentiality, and the Path of Mastery

The first session always includes complete history. I diagnose both the energetic and psychological layers—surface and deep.
Surface energies can be healed quickly, but the nervous system stores trauma deep in its wiring; this needs subtle and continuous work. That is the foundation of my Energetic Mastery Method.

Everything you share—childhood abuse, family conflict, marital betrayal—remains confidential. Healing begins when truth is spoken without fear.

The Mother’s Healing and Hope

Dr Roopa’s mother suffers from Parkinson’s. I reassured her:
“I have treated patients with Parkinson’s who recovered completely. When the time is right, we can heal her too. For now, focus on your own healing; the energy you generate will also reach her.”

Hope itself is a medicine. When one family member transforms, others begin to shift through resonance.

Returning to Work and Confidence

She asked about her career. I told her, “There is demand for your expertise. Government work may not appear, but private sectors will value your skill once your confidence returns.”

Confidence comes not from external validation but from inner alignment.
When you heal, your radiance itself becomes qualification.

Integration and Detachment

I explained that she was disintegrated—her energy scattered among memories, relationships, and fears. Integration begins when the mind empties.

My treatment now is to make her mind empty—no thoughts, no attachments. When the mind becomes still, detachment happens naturally.

Daily Practice Summary

1. Breath Discipline: Inhale–Exhale–Hold after Exhalation—500 times daily in five sets.
2. Mouth Exhalation: Whenever thoughts or emotions arise, exhale through mouth, long and slow.
3. Emotional Purging: Feel, cry, release. No suppression.
4. Movement: Keep cleaning, arranging, walking—avoid idleness.
5. Sacred Lamp: Keep the diya burning with flowers; pray to Shiva daily.
6. Boundaries: Do not entertain people from the past in your thoughts.
7. Focus: Live only in the present; the past and future do not exist.

The Turning Point

I told her, “Your past was harsh, but your future is bright. For the next ten days, dedicate yourself completely. Even if all you do is release, that itself is the therapy.”

She agreed. I could feel the energy shift—grief turning to clarity, pain turning to stillness.

The Final Guidance

When fear arises, close your eyes, remember me, and connect to my presence.
You will feel support flowing from the invisible dimension of the Guru’s field.

For now, clean your house, light your lamp, breathe five hundred times, and keep exhaling the old life out of your body.
Forget about every person who hurt you. Trust that the universe is rewriting your story through these simple acts.

As I ended the session, I blessed her:

“Your suffering was your initiation.
Your release is your rebirth.
From now on, walk as Shiva–Shakti in balance—calm, powerful, and free.”
