How Does Kundalini Awaken?

November 16, 2023

The Core Teaching
The practice present when awakening occurs is not necessarily its ultimate cause. In my teaching, yoga, meditation, breathwork, or Shaktipat can facilitate a process whose time has already matured within the individual. I distinguish the circumstance that opens the way from Kundalini's own readiness to move. This matters because copying another person's technique does not reproduce their journey; understanding your own stage and blockages comes before trying to recreate their experience.

Circumstances Discussed for Awakening

Kundalini awakens from the base of the spine at the Root Chakra (Muladhara Chakra) in the following circumstances:

Spontaneous Kundalini Awakening
Intense Yoga practices
Deep meditative practices
Specific breathing practices/ Pranayama
Shaktipat from the Guru

Kundalini awakens only when the maturity time of the Divine Shakti energy comes.

In the above five circumstances, Kundalini is most likely to awaken when the fructition time of the Soul based on Prarabdha comes.

An Example From the Soul’s Journey

Learn how does kundalini awaken through an example:

Your Soul (Individual Consciousness/ Kundalini) has travelled millions of birth and now it’s time to burn all your Karmas stored in the Causal Body (Karan Sharira).

The Causal Body takes the formation of the Subtle Body (Sthula Sharira), your Mind-Ego- Memory-Intellect complex with Vikaras and Vasanas carried forward from the previous lives.

Also whatever Karma you created in this birth gets accumulated in the Chakras, that keep on manifesting in the Mind/ Subtle Body.

Pressure, Blockages and Spontaneous Awakening

You must know that Kundalini needs the required pressure for it to awaken that is manifested during the above five circumstances.

Kundalini itself may after being saturated at the Root Chakra erupt like a Volcanic Eruption, leading to a spontaneous Kundalini Awakening.

Sometimes, Kundalini in order to awaken requires certain energy channels to be unlocked or unblocking of certain Chakras.

Suppose accidentally a Chakra, responsible for Kundalini Shakti to awaken, opens during intense Yoga practices, you may feel that Kundalini rises up the Spine in electrified energetic movement.
In that case, you may feel that Yoga led to the awakening of Kundalini but it is not the case.
Yoga was a facilitator of the predestined spontaneous Kundalini Awakening.

Similarly, Kundalini Awakening may happen during deep meditation or breathing practices.

The Role of Shaktipat in This Discourse

Among all these the most powerful Kundalini Awakening circumstance is the Shaktipat from your Spiritual Guru/ Master.

**How Does Kundalini Awaken? What happens through Guru’s Shaktipat on Kundalini?**

When Kundalini Shakti in you receives my powerful Shaktipat, the Divine Universal Kundalini Shakti Energy from me, pulls your Kundalini from the Root Chakra – this phenomenon of Shaktipat is called “Descend of Grace” from the Guru that leads to “Kundalini Ascension” upwards towards the spine.

Through my Inner GPS Activation– Shaktipat, whatever blockages your Kundalini is facing in its rising will be cleared and it will flow towards the Sushumna Nadi to ascend further up to clear all Karmic blockages in you.

If you have any complications in your Kundalini Awakening process, then taking Shaktipat from me will help your Kundalini to flow through your Energy Channels/ Nadis uninterruptedly.

Depending on the intensity of the blockages in your Energy Channels, the number of Inner GPS Activation- Shaktipat Sessions will vary.

Kundalini Awakening After Cannabis or Psychedelics: What to Do

First establish the sequence: did symptoms follow substance use, or did you begin using substances to suppress an experience already happening? Investigate medical consequences rather than assuming an altered state was enlightenment. The deeper lesson of the case I share is a return to ordinary life: sleep, cooking, nature, intimacy, and purposeful participation. Your work is to create conditions for life to move, not to keep pursuing freedom through substances or an identity of being spiritual.

Why Your Kundalini Symptoms Have Continued for Years

A life can gradually become organized around managing symptoms instead of living. I ask you to examine that pattern alongside the roles, attachments, and familiar routines you are afraid to question. In the actor-and-character analogy, a role is part of your life rather than the whole of who you are. Explore manageable changes, present contact with nature, and consistent self-care. My spiritual direction is from the periphery of constant monitoring toward awareness at the center, so the next chapter has room to emerge.

Why Kundalini Alternates Between Energy Surges and Crashes

Do not postpone every genuine moment of life until your inner state becomes perfect. I ask you to experience the sunlight, nature, affection, or beauty actually available now, while caring consistently for physical and mental health. Notice whether compulsive stimulation and constant Kundalini monitoring are adding to the swings. In my spiritual teaching, integration means coming closer to the awareness behind changing states. The practical task is to make life less divided between waiting and living, with responsible action and present experience giving energy a direction.
