How to Deal with Fear During Kundalini Awakening?

Part One: The Nature and Roots of Fear

Fear is the most dense and heavy energy you feel when Kundalini awakens within you. Most of the time, this fear does not come alone. It is accompanied by depression, anxiety, stress, and insomnia. Fear becomes like a shadow following you everywhere, rising suddenly and falling back again, yet never fully leaving.

This fear takes different forms for different people. The way fear shows itself depends on your karma. It depends on how much you have suffered until now, and how prepared you are for the rising of Kundalini energy. All these factors shape the volume of fear you feel, and they influence whether you can process that fear gracefully or whether you become stuck in panic.

In this discourse, I am sharing with you how to overcome fear when Kundalini awakens in you. I will show you how to be one with Kundalini so that you can allow the process to happen without being terrified by the sudden electrical, cosmic awakening that takes place in your system.

Understanding Fear as Energy

To truly deal with fear, you must understand it as energy. Fear is not simply a thought or a feeling—it has a vibration, a frequency, and a density. Fear keeps you blocked in life because of the way it lodges itself into your physical body, your emotional body, and your energy body.

Fear in the Physical Body

In the physical body, fear is registered most directly by the nervous system. When Kundalini awakens in you, your nervous system perceives this powerful, electrified cosmic force as a threat to the body’s survival. The nervous system does not yet recognize Kundalini as life-giving. It thinks you are under attack.

To protect you, the nervous system triggers freeze mode. You feel paralyzed, stuck, unable to act. This happens only because your nervous system does not understand Kundalini’s true nature.

So the first step is to retrain your nervous system. You must teach it to recognize Kundalini not as a danger but as a force of liberation.

A New Way of Seeing Kundalini

You need to learn to view Kundalini as a powerful energy that has come to rescue you from the clutches of the matrix. Instead of fighting it, accept that your body is safe. Your brain is safe. Your nervous system is safe. Your physical existence is safe.

What is happening is nothing less than surgery of your brain and nervous system. Kundalini is operating on you. It is changing your neuroplasticity, rewiring you completely.

You have been stuck in the matrix for lifetimes. Through millions of births, you have accumulated countless karmas, and these karmas must be settled in the cycle of samsara. The awakening of Kundalini is a cosmic operation to free you.

Fear and Karmic Settlement

The fear you feel is not only about your nervous system’s reaction. Fear is also linked to the settlement of your karmas.

Look at your life right now. All the problems you are facing—your relationship struggles, your health issues, your wealth and career obstacles—all of these are directly connected to karmic accounts you must settle. Each problem is part of the grand balancing of your ledger.

If you become one with Kundalini, you will begin to understand this deeper truth: you need to complete your karmas with each individual, pay your liabilities, and finish your transactions with every person who has entered your life.

You cannot run away from karmic settlement. You cannot hide from it. You cannot become invisible to the world until your karmas are complete.

Your spouse, your parents, your family, your friends, your community—all are part of the karmic accounts that must be resolved. Fear comes because you want to escape this process, but Kundalini will not allow you to bypass it.

The Emotional Dimension of Fear

On the emotional level, fear is rooted in the terror of losing your identity. You do not want to lose yourself. Whatever you have identified with up to now—your role as a victim, your role as a sufferer, your role as a seeker—you hold onto it tightly.

Even suffering becomes part of your identity. Being known as someone who suffers, someone who is spiritual, someone who is struggling with Kundalini experiences—this brings you attention, sympathy, and even a strange kind of pride. That identity feels safer than the unknown.

So when Kundalini rises, you resist. You cling to your old identity because letting go of it feels like death.

The Illusion of Safety in Victimhood

Many people secretly prefer to remain victims. Why? Because as a victim you receive sympathy from others. Everyone knows you are suffering, everyone knows you are dealing with something alone, and even if no one helps you, you still receive attention.

That attention becomes addictive. You feel a small high from people acknowledging your struggles.

So when Kundalini comes to liberate you, you resist. You prefer the “unknown devils” of your suffering to the “unknown journey” of true freedom.

This is why Kundalini feels frightening. It is the great unknown. You don’t know what will happen. You don’t want to lose the identity that suffering has built for you.

Fear of the Future

Before Kundalini awakens, you are not even aware of your future. You live an unconscious life. You are happy living a meaningless, mechanical life in the matrix.

But when Kundalini awakens, you suddenly become conscious. You begin to see the darkness of your future if you remain in your old ways. And instead of embracing freedom, you resist it.

You have played the role of victim for so long that you do not want the glory of freedom. You are like a prisoner in jail who has identified completely with being a prisoner. When the door to freedom opens, you panic. You cannot even imagine what life outside the prison would be.

So the emotional fears arise: fear of freedom, fear of happiness, fear of stillness, fear of love, fear of truth, fear of change.

The Conditioned Mind

Your mind has been conditioned for chaos. It has been conditioned for stress, for disturbance, for constant noise.

So when Kundalini offers stillness and peace, you fear it. You think: “What will I do with peace? What will I do with freedom?”

This is why you cling to the clutches of the matrix. You stay in the maze of society, refusing to step into the open sky of consciousness.

Dependency and Acceptance

Another fear arises from your deep dependency on others. You want someone else to take care of you. You want the acceptance of others. You are used to mutual dependency in the matrix.

Everyone depends on everyone else—emotionally, financially, practically. The web of dependency is the very fabric of the matrix.

So when Kundalini pulls you away from the herd of sheep, you fear rejection. You fear being cast out. You fear standing alone like a lion.

This fear of rejection binds you more tightly to the old world than any chain.

Part Two: Chakra-Level Fears and the Matrix of Predictability

Fear during Kundalini awakening does not exist only as a vague feeling. It crystallizes into blockages across every chakra in your body. Each chakra has its own associated fears, and each fear restricts the flow of Kundalini energy.

Root Chakra Fears

At the root chakra, the fears are primal. They concern food, clothing, shelter, and survival. You constantly ask yourself: What will happen to me? Who will take care of me? How will I survive if I step into the unknown?

You do not trust the universe to provide. Instead, you remain dependent on parents, spouse, or family—even if those relationships are toxic or abusive. You tolerate a narcissistic partner, unsupportive parents, or a spoiled home environment just for food and shelter.

Even when you know that Kundalini is pressing you to leave, you choose to remain. You stay in the very house where you are suffering. You remain with the very people who keep you small. Why? Because fear at the root chakra chains you to survival.

But when Guru enters your life, this cycle can be broken. Many of my students—and I myself—had to leave the matrix behind. We had to choose the unknown instead of clinging to the known devils. By doing so, we became fearless. The universe began to support us, and we realized we were never alone.

Sacral Chakra Fears

At the sacral chakra, the fears are psychological. You fear participating in life itself.

Instead of moving outward into the world, you hide away. You prefer staying in a dark room, isolated, disconnected, caged. Depression becomes a comfort zone. You are comfortable with lethargy, inactivity, and a lack of flow.

This is not simply laziness. It is fear of engaging with life, fear of involvement, fear of opening yourself to the vibrancy of existence.

Kundalini, however, demands participation. It pushes you toward life. It insists that you re-enter the dance of existence, and this insistence terrifies you if you have been frozen for too long.

Solar Plexus Chakra Fears

At the solar plexus, fear becomes centered on ambition, career, finances, and dreams. You worry: What will happen to my career? What will happen to my money? What will become of my goals and desires?

The belief is that if you allow Kundalini to flow fully, you must abandon all worldly pursuits. You think freedom means becoming a saint or sage, renouncing the world completely.

So you hold onto the matrix instead. Even if the matrix means insults, bullying, and endless struggle, you choose the known world. It is visible, predictable, familiar. These “known devils” feel safer than the unknown phoenix that Kundalini asks you to become.

Heart Chakra Fears

At the heart chakra, fear takes the form of mistrust in love.

For so long, you have been closed. For so long, you have remained in grief, depression, and self-hatred. When the possibility of love arises—whether from yourself, another, or the universe—you recoil.

You cannot believe someone can truly love you. You do not even love yourself. Instead, you wound yourself with self-hatred, keeping the heart locked and the doors sealed.

Kundalini attempts to open the heart, but fear resists. Love feels more dangerous than pain.

Throat Chakra Fears

At the throat chakra, fear manifests as an inability to speak truth.

Something is stuck whenever you want to express your reality. Instead of telling the truth, you manipulate, pretend, or lie. You may even lie about your health, presenting yourself as “perfectly fine” when inside you are burning with anger, hatred, or sorrow.

This fear of speaking truth keeps the throat chakra blocked. Without expression, energy stagnates, and Kundalini cannot rise freely.

Third Eye Fears

At the third eye, fear becomes more complex. The thinking mind becomes hyperactive. Negative thoughts, inner demons, and monstrous energies appear.

You do not trust divine powers, but you trust these inner demons. You believe the stories they whisper. They are, in fact, nothing more than the dense energies created by years of suppression, lies, and conditioning.

Yet they feel real. They appear as ghostly presences, as if something outside is haunting you. Sometimes these energies are so intense that they do manifest as external entities or negative attachments. This is a dangerous state, but it is still a creation of your own blocked energy.

Crown Chakra Fears

At the crown chakra, the greatest fear arises: fear of losing your ego.

You do not want to lose your personality, your identity, your name, your brand, your social role. Even if this identity is defective and toxic, you cling to it. You would rather remain “Mr. or Ms. XYZ,” the person everyone knows, than dissolve into the vastness of pure consciousness.

You love your identity, however flawed it is. You love your suffering because it is yours. This is the final fear—fear of death of the self you think you are.

The Matrix of Probability and Predictability

Your fears are not only personal. They are also programmed by the matrix itself.

The matrix runs on the law of probability: If you do this, you will get that result.

• If you study hard, you will get a job.
• If you get a job, you will earn a salary.
• If you earn a salary, you can marry someone stable.
• If you marry, you can raise children.
• If you raise children, they will repeat your same life.
• At the end, you will age, fall ill, and die.

This predictable cycle is the law of probability turned into the law of possibility, which then becomes the law of predictability. It creates the illusion of safety.

People cling to this cycle because it is familiar. Even if it is a donkey’s life—work, marriage, children, decay, and death—they prefer it to the unknown.

The Fear of Change

The opposite of the predictable life is a life of freedom:

• Traveling across the world.
• Becoming a digital nomad or freelancer.
• Living as an entrepreneur or creator.
• Following your passion and ikigai.
• Living your true life purpose.

This is what Kundalini opens for you. But instead of embracing it, you fear it. You fear change. You fear independence. You fear strength. You fear the possibility of becoming truly alive.

And so your fear blocks the flow of Kundalini. It creates pressure in your body, holds you back, and traps you in the dense energy of apana—the toxic, downward-moving prana.

Part Three: Energetic Blockages and the Shadows of Fear

Fear is not only mental or emotional—it becomes lodged in your energy system. Every blockage is the physical expression of fear energy refusing to move. Kundalini, being the force of life, wants to ascend. But when your system is filled with fear, it meets resistance at every level.

The Constipation of Energy

When fear is lodged in the body, you feel constipated—not only physically but energetically. Your breath feels stuck. Your chest feels heavy. Your intestines feel bloated. Your entire system becomes like a gas chamber filled with stale air.

This is because the nadis, the energy channels, are clogged with apana—the toxic, downward-moving prana. Instead of free flow, you experience stagnation.

The freeze mode of the nervous system keeps breath shallow. Shallow chest breathing activates stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, keeping you trapped in a cycle of fear. This is why many awakening beings feel constantly on edge, anxious, sleepless, and unable to rest.

Fear as Demonic Projection

At higher intensity, suppressed fear manifests as what feels like demons, ghosts, or monsters inside you.

These are not external enemies—they are your own energies. Created from years of suppression, trauma, lies, addictions, and conditioning, they become dense and powerful. You experience them as separate entities, but in truth they are fragments of your own unprocessed fear.

Still, they feel real. At times, they even do take on externalized form, because energy creates reality. This is why the third eye becomes a frightening place—filled with visions of negativity instead of clarity.

The Ego’s Last Stand

At the crown chakra, fear reaches its peak. It becomes the terror of ego death.

Your identity—your name, your role, your achievements, your personality—feels like the most precious possession. Even if it is toxic, broken, or fake, you love it. You refuse to let it dissolve.

This is the greatest obstacle to Kundalini. You cling to being someone. You cling to being “Mr. or Ms. XYZ,” to being known by society, to being recognized—even if recognition comes with suffering.

This clinging keeps your crown chakra blocked. Instead of merging into vast consciousness, you stay trapped in the stale prison of ego.

The Web of Dependency

Fear thrives in dependency.

The matrix has designed life as a web where everyone is dependent on everyone else—financially, emotionally, socially. You remain stuck in this web because you fear standing alone.

But Kundalini pulls you out of the herd. It demands that you stop being a sheep and become a lion. This feels terrifying. You fear rejection. You fear isolation. You fear losing the fragile acceptance of those around you.

Yet, only when you let go of this dependency can true freedom arise.

Choosing the Known Devils

One of the strangest aspects of fear is that it keeps you attached to pain. You would rather stay with “known devils” than step into the unknown.

• You stay in a toxic marriage because it is familiar.
• You remain with unsupportive parents because they provide a roof.
• You tolerate narcissistic friends because they at least acknowledge you.

All the while, Kundalini is pressing you to leave, to step out, to claim freedom. But fear tells you: Better the devil you know than the unknown you cannot predict.

This is how fear keeps you in prison.

The Guru’s Role

There are countless cases, in my students and in my own life, where liberation only began when the step into the unknown was taken. When we chose the unknown over the known devils, fear dissolved.

This is why the Guru is necessary. A true Guru pulls you out of the prison. A Guru does not allow you to remain chained. Once you take that leap, the universe itself begins to support you.

The sun does not need light. The Guru does not need light. The Guru is light. But you only discover this when you are willing to step away from fear.

The Psychological Fears

Beyond the chakras, fear manifests as a resistance to psychological growth.

• You fear becoming independent.
• You fear becoming courageous.
• You fear becoming bold and strong.
• You fear skillfulness, because laziness has become your comfort.

If you have lived in depression, inactivity, and victimhood for too long, you resist the very idea of change. This fear of change is the root of your bondage.

The Law of Probability, Possibility, and Predictability

Fear is also maintained by the rules of the matrix. The system teaches you:

• Do this, and you will get that result.
• Study, get a job, earn money, marry, raise children, grow old, die.

This is the law of probability. It leads to the law of possibility and finally to the law of predictability. Everything becomes fixed and known.

You cling to this system because it is stable—even if it is a prison. The donkey-like cycle of life feels safer than freedom.

But Kundalini offers something radically different. It offers unpredictability. It offers the chance to live your passion, follow your ikigai, become an entrepreneur of your own destiny, live as a free being, create something new.

This unpredictability terrifies you. So instead of stepping into life purpose, you choose the cage of probability.

Fear of True Freedom

The irony is that while you long for freedom, you also fear it.

• You fear freedom because you do not know how to live without chains.
• You fear happiness because sadness feels more familiar.
• You fear stillness because your mind is addicted to chaos.
• You fear being loved because mistrust has become your nature.
• You fear truth because lies have become your comfort.
• You fear change because predictability feels safe.

And so, every chakra is blocked. Every channel is clogged. Kundalini tries to rise, but your fear keeps it pressed down.

The Rising Pressure

This blockage creates immense pressure in the body.

• At the root, insecurity keeps you dependent.
• At the sacral, lethargy keeps you inactive.
• At the solar plexus, ambition keeps you tied to the matrix.
• At the heart, mistrust keeps you unloved.
• At the throat, lies keep you silenced.
• At the third eye, demons keep you haunted.
• At the crown, ego keeps you enslaved.

Kundalini, however, will not stop. It will continue pressing. The more you resist, the more painful it becomes.

The only way forward is to confront fear, release it, and allow Kundalini to flow.

Part Four: Overcoming Fear Through Practice and Transformation

You have now understood fear from every angle—physical, emotional, energetic, karmic, and spiritual. But knowledge alone is not enough. You must act. Fear dissolves only when energy moves, when action is taken, when truth is lived.

Step One: Find Your Guru

The first and most important step is to find your Guru.

Only a powerful Guru can help you release fear energetically. A Guru knows how to pierce through your conditioning and pull out the poison. Without this guidance, you may keep circling in your own mind, never fully escaping fear.

The Guru provides the field where catharsis can happen. Trauma is not something you can think your way out of. It must be released through energetic processing. The Guru holds the space for this release.

Step Two: Release Your Trauma

Your trauma is lodged in your body. It is stored in your tissues, in your breath, in your nervous system. This trauma must be released dynamically.

Without catharsis, fear remains. Without energetic release, you stay frozen.

When you allow yourself to scream, to cry, to shake, to move, to breathe deeply, trauma leaves the system. This dynamic release is the beginning of freedom.

Step Three: Writing Practice

Begin the practice of continuous writing. For 30 days, then 100 days, write down every thought that enters your mind.

Do not censor. Do not edit. Do not judge. Simply let the thoughts flow onto the page.

Each time fear arises, write it down. Each time anger arises, write it down. Each time sadness arises, write it down.

As you write, combine it with deep mouth exhalation. With every sentence, exhale fully until your lungs are empty.

This transforms fear energy into motion. Thought becomes breath. Breath becomes release. Fear leaves the subconscious and is transmuted.

Do this for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, one hour—until you feel emptied. Over time, the mind becomes clear. Thoughts lose their grip. Fear no longer controls you.

Step Four: Speak the Truth

Fear thrives in lies. Every time you pretend, manipulate, or avoid truth, fear grows stronger.

Begin telling the truth—completely, openly, without manipulation. Say exactly what you feel, in the moment you feel it, to the person involved.

Do not try to impress. Do not seek approval. Simply speak truth.

As you do this, your throat chakra opens. The energy of fear begins to dissolve. You feel lighter, freer, more authentic.

Step Five: Retain Your Semen

One of the most powerful steps is semen retention.

Fear is rooted in loss of life force. If you waste your energy through pornography, masturbation, or excessive sexual activity, your nervous system becomes weak. Your brain loses vitality. Your gray matter and white matter decay.

This weakness creates fear. You feel cowardly because your core energy has been drained.

When you retain semen for one year, your life transforms. Strength returns. Masculine energy awakens. Courage arises naturally.

Your nervous system rejuvenates. Your brain regrows. Your body becomes a fortress. Fear begins to vanish.

Step Six: Rhythmic Breathing

Breath is the bridge between body and mind. Fear thrives in shallow, chest breathing.

When you breathe only into the chest, the nervous system stays in freeze mode. Stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline are constantly activated.

To overcome fear, practice rhythmic breathing. Never let the breath stop. Inhale and exhale continuously, smoothly, rhythmically.

Train your nervous system for 100 days. Keep attention on the breath. Breathe deeply into the diaphragm. Exhale completely.

As you do this, freeze mode dissolves. The nervous system rewires. Fear begins to leave the body.

Step Seven: Stop the Cowardice

Understand this clearly: fear has made you a victim. It has made you weak.

I do not work with cowards. If you want to walk with Kundalini, you must drop cowardice. You must stop being the victim. You must rise.

Only by burning the old self can the phoenix arise. Only by entering the fire can freedom come.

Step Eight: Become the Phoenix

Kundalini is the fire of transformation. It burns away the old identity. It reduces the victim to ashes.

From those ashes, the phoenix is born. Strong, fearless, radiant.

Fear is the fuel for this fire. When you stop running from fear, when you allow it to burn, it becomes the very source of your liberation.

Step Nine: Reprogram Your Nervous System

Every part of you must be retrained:

• Physical body: through breathing, movement, retention.
• Energy body: through catharsis, truth, writing, Guru’s presence.
• Emotional body: through feeling fully, without suppression.
• Mental body: through releasing thoughts, emptying the mind.
• Spiritual body: through surrender to Kundalini and Guru.

Fear cannot remain in a system that is alive, rhythmic, courageous, and truthful.

Step Ten: Take Responsibility

Finally, know this: no one else can change your life.

Not your parents, not your spouse, not society. Not even the Guru can do it for you. The Guru can only show the way.

You must walk it. You must breathe, release, write, speak truth, retain semen, and face fear.

Only then will you discover that fear was never real. It was always energy in motion. And when that energy moves, you are free.

Closing Words

Fear is the densest energy. It chains you to the matrix, to your karmas, to your ego. But Kundalini comes not to harm you—it comes to free you.

Do not resist. Do not run. Step into the fire.

Through Guru, through breath, through truth, through retention, through courage—you will rise.

Fear will burn to ashes. And from those ashes, the phoenix of your true self will emerge.
