The Core Teaching
The blockages I describe are not merely places on a chakra diagram. They are the fears, attachments, anger, pride, and compulsive desires through which your energy keeps returning to the same patterns. I call these Vikaras and Vasanas. My instruction is to work on what they mean in your actual life: face your fears, address unfinished desires, and take the actions you have avoided. Naming a blockage is only the beginning; changing your relationship with the pattern is the work.

Vasanas and Vikaras: The Blockages Described
Blockages are the Karmic blockages that remain stuck in your energy channels in the form of Vasanas and Vikaras.
Vasanas and Vikaras are the mental blockages that:
- Block the flow of your divine Kundalini Shakti energy in the energy channels.
- Creates obstacles on your path of Kundalini Awakening and spiritual growth.
Vikaras are negative emotions or mental disturbances.
Vasanas means tendencies or desires.
How These Patterns Affect Energy Flow
Vikaras – Negative Emotions have densest energy vibrations that create hindrance in the smooth flow of Kundalini energy through your energy channels.
- Kama: Desire, especially uncontrolled or excessive desire blocks your Third Eye and Crown Chakra.
- Krodha: Anger, wrath, or rage blocks your Solar Plexus.
- Lobha: Greed or avarice, an excessive attachment to material wealth blocks your Sacral Chakra and Solar Plexus.
- Moha: Delusion or attachment, clouding of judgment due to emotional attachment blocks your Heart Chakra.
- Mada: Pride or arrogance, an inflated sense of one’s own importance blocks your Heart Chakra.
- Matsarya: Envy or jealousy, resentment of others’ success or good fortune blocks your Solar Plexus and Throat Chakra.
- Bhaya: Fear of death of your body and ego, and the unknown blocks your Root Chakra.
Vasanas – Tendencies and Desires have distracting energy vibrations that always bring unwanted thoughts and keep you obsessed in the materialistic world not allowing your Kundalini to flow uninterruptedly in your energy channels to cleanse your system.
- Bhoga Vasana: Desire for sensory pleasures and material enjoyments keeps your energy blocked in the lower three Chakras, not allowing Kundalini to move up
- Svarga Vasana: Desire for heavenly pleasures and a good afterlife blocks your Third Eye and Crown Chakra.
- Anitya Vasana : Desire for impermanent things, not realizing the transient nature of the world blocks your Heart Chakra.
- Laukika Vasana : Mundane desires related to worldly achievements and social status blocks your Solar Plexus, Sacral Chakra and Root Chakra.
- Para Loka Vasana : Desire for the benefits in the afterlife or the next incarnation blocks your Third Eye and Crown Chakra.
- Deha Vasana : Attachment to the physical body and bodily pleasures blocks your all Chakras.
The above are some of the prime Vikaras and Vasanas. Based on your Karmic blockages, you may have more denser blocked energies creating hurdles in the Kundalini flow.
Both Vikaras and Vasanas are Maya that restrict the flow of Kundalini energy through your Energy Channels (Nadis).
Working With Desires and Fear
If you want to overcome these obstacles then you need to get rid of your Vasanas and Vikaras by taking actions, completing your desires and working on your fears.

Is This a Kundalini Blockage or Nervous System Dysregulation
First distinguish the kind of help being sought. Nervous-system symptoms need appropriate clinical assessment; my Kundalini work explores a spiritual pattern of holding, conditioning, and choices. I ask you to notice perfectionism, approval-seeking, and the practical matters left unresolved in health, relationships, or work. These areas require action as well as inner exploration. The crux is responsibility: do not expect energy work alone to move the life you continue postponing. Greater receptivity should accompany concrete steps and a clearer understanding of your own condition.

A centered life needs both inwardness and outward engagement. In this discourse I use Ida and Pingala as a spiritual map for exploring what happens when withdrawal or restless activity dominates. Notice how your attention, routines, posture, and ability to rest or act fit that pattern, while having one-sided physical symptoms properly evaluated. The deeper instruction is balance rather than more of the same extreme. Individual work should help you become present and adaptable, so spiritual seeking leads back to fuller participation in life.

The central issue here is the gap between what you genuinely feel and what you allow yourself to express. I ask you to stop repeatedly postponing important words, acknowledge your own needs, and give love and self-care a practical place in life. Within the chakra framework, throat and heart work belong together: honest expression with the willingness to connect. Explore comfortable bodily openness and address physical symptoms appropriately. Freedom means becoming more truthful in how you live, rather than continuing to silence yourself for approval.
