One of my SMART goals in my Definite Major Purpose will be accomplished next week, 3 weeks earlier than my set deadline date. It also directly related to one of my PPNs- Spiritual Growth. Yes, I am celebrating early! This goal is to awaken my Kundalini and it rises up from the base of the spine through the Chakras. It will allow me to reach a state of bliss, physical well-being, and resounding love.
The best way for me to take you through my journey and for you to better understand what Kundalini Awakening is, I have used edited portions of an article from themindfool.com/kundalini-awakening/, called Kundalini Awakening 101- All You need to Know.
Kundalini Awakening is nowadays quite a popular topic. It is said that when you are ready for the spiritual journey this awakening will happen. This is a signal from your destiny. The kundalini is awakened mainly through three phases and in the end, you realize your soul purpose and become who you are meant to be!
What is Kundalini Awakening?
Kundalini Awakening is said to occur when there are sudden changes in your body, mind, and spirit leading to your gradual transformation.
Kundalini Awakening is a state you attain when you start changing from within. Your perception changes so do your feelings. The way you interpret the world changes radically. As a matter of fact, the way you see things also changes. You become aware of your inner essence and get connected to a higher purpose.
It’s that you understand things and your inner guidance system starts to work efficiently. A sort of enlightenment comes that awakens the dormant energy that was already within you. You become more aware, clear and focused in life.
Kundalini Energy – What Is It?
Kundalini energy is the dormant life energy at the base of our spine coiled in the form of a snake.
According to the Hindu scriptures, our life force in the form of dormant energy is coiled at the base of our spine like a sleeping snake. This is the infinite energy confined within ourselves that holds in itself the possibility to become our fullest expression.
The coiled-up energy when unleashed rises up to unite with the higher consciousness. Kundalini energy must be awakened to proceed in the spiritual journey. It helps us to reach our truest, greatest potential.
Kundalini Syndrome Explained When you experience the symptoms of awakening you are said to experience the kundalini syndrome! You get to feel the ascent of the life force energy or the kundalini within your body. Specific yoga practices and kundalini meditation helps to raise this energy. Spiritual practices, the practice of hatha yoga will assist in the awakening process.
But there are also cases where the person has an awakened kundalini without being aware of it. Traumas, near-death experiences, and other life-shattering situations can cause kundalini experiences.
As a result of this syndrome, the individual develops the sixth sense and other rare characteristics. The Kundalini syndrome is also referred to as the psycho-spiritual awakening in a person.
Kundalini Awakening Stages From What has been gathered from ancient Hindu scriptures, Kundalini awakening has three phases.
1. The First Phase
It is the phase when an individual goes through extreme suffering because the Soul prepares itself for a spiritual journey.
It is the phase in which the body and mind go through a decluttering process. Physical ailments, emotional upheavals, traumas, and repetitive bad experiences occur.
In this phase, an individual goes through a lot of physical and mental pain. Symptoms include depression, anxiety, frustration, helplessness, muscle twitching, and even near-death experiences. It is said that in this stage, the traumas and hurts of our past lives and even those of our ancestors would start to heal.
The individual will have a major shift in their physical, mental and spiritual processes. Through extreme pain, energy healing will take place.
2. The Second Phase
In this phase the person will seek deeper answers of life.
It is a less-discussed phase as it involves higher spiritual experiences which only a few people go through. In this phase, the Kundalini Shakti starts moving beyond physical and psychological experiences. Some of the blocked energies that couldn’t get released in the first phase will start getting clear in this phase.
In this phase, an individual will start questioning his beliefs that were conditioned by his parents and society. They start debating on the patterned beliefs and behaviors.
He or she will want to know who they are really because they know that they are more than their identity or even physical appearance. In this phase, an individual will also feel constant energy flowing on the top of the head. Here the fear of death is gradually lost and an inclination to connect with the divine flow is established.
3. The Third Phase
It is the phase where the individual will change his character totally. Instead of doubting, he will trust the divine source and allow things to happen in his life.
It is the phase when we let go of expectations and allow things to happen. Instead of trying to control things we allow the Universe or the Divine energy to take care of us.
We stop judging others. The constant mental chatter is gone and we are unperturbed by the chatter of this world. We learn to stay happy and content with what we have. Constant comparisons complain, criticisms are eliminated from our character.
We are no longer affected by other people’s words however hurtful. It becomes a mission for us to stay connected to our inner essence and open the channels to allow the Source energy to continuously flow through the central channel. We are aware that we are a part of the divine flow. In this phase, your life becomes simple as you understand the truth of our existence.
Yes, there is work to be done and knowledge to be gained but you start doing it from a different perspective. Your Soul is awake now because you can perceive that there is more beyond the pain, crisis, and struggles of life.

Your deeds and thoughts get impressed in your soul. When kundalini is awakened, your soul gets cleansed of all such past impressions or karmas.

What happens after kundalini awakening
