The other day one of my friends asked me what Kundalini was and how to understand it so I gave him a basic understanding of what I know about it. Afterwards I felt like it was something I wanted to share on my blog because it is such an interesting topic. The physical body is so fascinating to me and so are its energetic aspects. I had my first kundalini rising when I was 21 years old. I was in Germany and it was an experience I will never forget. More on that later though.

What is kundalini energy? (from a simple google search)

"Kundalini energy is a dormant, primal spiritual force believed in Hindu tradition to rest coiled like a snake at the base of the spine."

Definition: The word comes from Sanskrit, meaning "coiled" or "circular". It is often called Kundalini Shakti, representing divine feminine creative power.
Location: It is said to reside in the subtle body at the root (Muladhara) chakra.
Dormancy: In most people, this inner life force remains asleep or unused from birth.

The Awakening Process

Ascent: Through spiritual practices like kundalini yoga, meditation, breathwork (pranayama), and chanting, this energy can wake up.
Chakras: Once aroused, the energy moves upward through the central channel of the spine, activating each of the body's major energy centers (chakras).
Enlightenment: Reaching the crown of the head at the top of the spine is associated with ultimate spiritual liberation, pure awareness, and self-realization (moksha).

Physical and Mental Effects

Sensations: People describe feeling sudden heat, tingling, tremors, or a rush of electrical energy along the back.
Shifts: An awakening can bring deep peace, euphoria, and heightened creativity, though intense or unguided awakenings can also cause psychological and physical distress.

I think this is fascinating stuff and I have more to continue on this subject later but I felt it was a fun topic to return to to learn more about. The fact that the human body even has such capability or estoeric happenings with in it, is pretty cool and mystical to me. It creates a little bit more wonderment in my world.

Wishing you a day of happiness and I hope you are surrounded by people that listen, understand, and support you with kindess because being around the wrong people in life is very draining. It creates so much intense physical tension, illness and anger that it's just not worth it.

So much love,
