How to Control the Energy Around You: Kundalini Yoga Secrets

How to Control the Energy Around You: Kundalini Yoga Secrets

The Core Teaching
Begin with your own response before trying to control everything around you. I teach attentive observation of the natural breath, with reverse counting as an anchor for presence. The counting must remain conscious rather than mechanical. The deeper instruction is to develop an inner steadiness you can bring into a changing environment, instead of letting every thought or external disturbance immediately dictate your state.

Introduction: Why Controlling Energy Matters

To control the energy around you, you must first learn how to control the energy within you.

When the energy in your body and aura—your energetic field—is unregulated, you become overly sensitive to external disturbances. Negative vibrations from volatile environments, chaotic thoughts, or toxic people start impacting your mind and body. These energies agitate your nervous system and throw you into a state of alertness and fear.

In physiological terms, this is the sympathetic breathing mode. Your breath becomes shallow. Your body gets ready to fight, flee, or freeze. But you are not in actual danger—your brain is just interpreting signals from the environment, or even from your own thoughts, as danger.

To take charge of your energy field, you must bring yourself into a parasympathetic state. This means activating the vagus nerve, the key to your body’s rest and digest mode. When the vagus nerve is stimulated, your breathing naturally slows and deepens. Your nervous system returns to stillness.

In the spiritual dimension, this means deactivating the Surya Nadi (the solar channel of Pingala Nadi) and coming into balance with the Ida Nadi (the lunar, cooling channel). When the Surya Nadi is overactive, it fuels sympathetic arousal, keeping you in survival mode—anxious, restless, or reactive.

Every mental illness, every physical disturbance, and every spiritual block often begins with this imbalance.

The good news is: You can reclaim control through your breath.

Your Brain Can’t Tell the Difference Between Reality and Imagination

Understand this: your brain doesn’t differentiate between external reality and your internal thoughts.

Even if your outer environment is peaceful, if your inner thoughts are restless, your brain will still signal danger and activate the sympathetic response. Similarly, if your thoughts are calm—even in a stormy world—you can maintain deep inner peace.

So, to control the energy around you, begin with controlling your breathing pattern. Through conscious breathing, you program your aura to be still and unaffected by the chaos of others.

Let me now give you the exact technique.

Kundalini Breath Awareness Technique to Control Energy Around You

Step 1: Come into Awareness of Your Breath

Sit in silence. Close your eyes. Bring your attention to your third eye, the space between your eyebrows.

Begin observing your natural breath—do not change it. Just observe.

Here’s how the breath travels:

  1. It enters through your nostrils.
  2. It touches and swirls through your nasal cavity.
  3. It moves downward toward your belly.
  4. It reaches the very base of your belly and turns upward again.
  5. It comes back up through the same nasal path and exits through your nostrils.

Watch this process quietly for 3, 5, or even up to 10 breath cycles. You may count them if it helps.

You will begin to notice a rhythm. With every breath, your nervous system is softening. Peace is settling in.

Step 2: Practice 100-Breath Reverse Counting

Now comes the deeper layer.

Begin reverse counting your breaths from 100 to 1. With each incoming breath, mentally say the number:

  • Inhale: 100, Exhale: 100,
  • Inhale: 99, Exhale: 99,
  • Inhale: 98, Exhale: 98,
  • Inhale: 97, Exhale: 97, and so on.
  • ………………………………………
  • ………………………………………
  • Inhale: 3, Exhale: 3,
  • Inhale: 2, Exhale: 2,
  • Inhale: 1, Exhale: 1

You may lie down or sit upright—whichever posture feels natural to you. But keep your awareness intact.

Important: Do not outsource this practice to your mind. Stay conscious with each breath. This is not mechanical counting. This is not a mental game. It is pure awareness-based Sadhana.

You may also exhale through your mouth to release more energy. When you do, make the exhalation as long as possible:

  • Inhale naturally.
  • Exhale slowly: longer, longer, longer—like a gentle wind leaving the body.

This elongated exhalation helps move the body deeply into parasympathetic mode. Your vagus nerve gets activated. Your aura becomes like still water.

Results of This Sadhana

By the end of this 100-breath practice, you will feel:

  • A calmness in your aura.
  • Flow of Kundalini energy in your chakras and nadis.
  • A sense of clarity, stillness, and rootedness.
  • The knowing that you are in charge of your life.

You are not helpless against your environment. You are not a victim of others’ moods. With this practice, you become the controller of energy, not the reactor.

This is Kundalini Yoga in its most direct and potent form.

A Final Note for Serious Seekers

There are many more techniques I can teach you, each designed to refine your nervous system, energy field, and spiritual power.

If you are already part of the Freedom and Phoenix Projects, continue applying this in your daily Sadhana. For those new to this path—if you are going through Kundalini Awakening or wish to walk the path consciously—begin by taking a Kundalini Diagnosis session with me. From there, you can be guided into the right project and path.

Remember: The energy around you will always reflect the energy within you.

Keep breathing. Stay still. Own your field.

How to Restart Meditation Safely After a Difficult Kundalini Experience

How to Restart Meditation Safely After a Difficult Kundalini Experience

After a difficult experience, restarting meditation should not become a project to recover an old spiritual high. My instruction is patience: stop forcing practices that disturb your basic functioning, understand your individual condition, and seek guidance before resuming. Ask what your life is calling you to change, then walk that path through direct experience. The meditation I point toward is a life lived in presence, where stillness can arise naturally rather than being demanded from the body.

Why Meditation Is Making Your Kundalini Symptoms Worse

Why Meditation Is Making Your Kundalini Symptoms Worse

Kundalini is your life force, not an energy you can force into obedience through more meditation. When you keep directing attention inward or toward the head, you can lose contact with the whole body and the life awakening is asking you to live. My instruction here is to stop forcing the inward journey and bring your energy into movement, nature, and purposeful action. Realization must become participation in life; remaining absorbed in an inner state is not the completion of the journey.

The Breath That Opens Your Heart and Changes Your Life

The Breath That Opens Your Heart and Changes Your Life

Give yourself real evidence of care instead of another demand to feel differently. Begin with one conscious breath, then prepare a meal, clear a neglected space, complete a postponed task, or choose an enjoyable experience. Acknowledge what you actually did before the inner critic dismisses it. The heart opens through this changed relationship with yourself: discipline joined with kindness and participation. My central instruction is implementation—let the teaching enter the home, body, and next action, so self-love becomes a way of treating your life.
