How To: Awaken your kundalini

Awakening the female energy that resides in the base of your spine is not a process that can be done in an afternoon but is something you work towards though lots of work in kundalini yoga and work toward an enlightened state of being.

In Hindu mythology, kundalini is a coiled serpent at the base of your spine that, when awakened, causes spiritual enlightenment.

Step 1: Understand kundalini

Understand that kundalini is a reservoir of female energy coiled at the root chakra at the base of your spine. When released, it travels upward – opening all the chakras – and unites with the crown chakra, Shiva, a male energy.

Study all aspects of kundalini, kundalini awakening, yoga, and the chakras before attempting an awakening.

Step 2: Rise above desires

Rise above earthly desires and go beyond the senses. Achieving purity of mind will help avoid the temptations that follow the powerful, awakened kundalini.

Step 3: Purify the body

Purify your body by drinking plenty of water, eating nutritious foods, exercising vigorously, and getting massages. Abstain from recreational drugs, alcohol, tobacco, junk food, and caffeine.

Step 4: Practice yoga

Practice yoga to build your body and mind for awakening. Kundalini yoga, hatha yoga, bhakta, and jnana yoga are all recommended.

Step 5: Meditate

Meditate or begin some other spiritual practice. Awakened kundalini is a profound, spiritual transformation you must be prepared for.

Step 6: Balance your energy

Balance the downward grounding energy of the first chakra with the upward kundalini energy. Strengthen the root chakra by focusing your energy on it and repeating the mantra, "lam."
