Kundalini energy is not a new age concept. It is very ancient in its roots. Working with Kundalini energy is a journey of self-discovery and empowerment.
Kundalini energy is your creative, sexual, life force energy. It is life moving through you unimpeded. It is you fully expressed. It is your radiance and your health.
You activate your Kundalini through your breath. Without breath, there is no life. Without life, there is no breath.
Thus, the more breath you bring into your body, the more your life force Kundalini energy activates. Most people don't even realize how disconnected they are from their body or their breath. We stop breathing during moments of fear, tension, stress, or trauma. The majority of people breathe directly into their chest, and their breath never reaches the low belly or other parts of the body.
When there is no breath, there is no life. What this means on a practical level is that if you are not taking the time to consciously breathe into your body, into your belly, into your heart, into your core, into the soles of your feet, into your third eye, then you are not connected to the wisdom and information that resides within. The energy within your body cannot flow unimpeded. It gets stuck and stagnant.
Quantum physics has helped us understand that the body, though seemingly dense, is actually comprised of trillions of cells that are constantly vibrating. Each of these cells contains information, energy, and wisdom. When you present yourself in the body, this energy cannot help but respond. Once the suppressed energy moves and becomes conscious, you are no longer "ruled from below." The subconscious mind, that which is not yet conscious, is accessed through your body and emotions. Once it is made conscious, you become your own ruler, and you no longer enslaved to the beliefs or traumas of the past.
When you start to direct your awareness and breath into your body, the stuck and stagnant energy begins to move and to vibrate. With time and consistency, it begins to move and rise up to the surface. This is primarily the result of suppressed emotions. Emotions are energy in motion. The emotional body and the energetic body are inextricably linked.
As stagnant energy is released, you create more space and therefore more flow in the body. Kundalini energy is the natural movement of energy within your body. Therefore, it wants to rise up from your root (sacrum) to your crown (top of your head). It is earth energy.
When energy from the earth can move up your spine fluidly, without obstruction, it begins to merge with your higher brain centers. Kundalini energy unifies your lower chakras with your higher chakras. By lower, I do not mean less than. They are simply physically lower in your body. What this means is that, by creating more space in your body by utilizing the power of your breath, you can merge your divinity with your humanity.
You can bring higher levels of consciousness to your physical expression. Sexual urges, for example, are merged with higher levels of consciousness and choice. Survival needs no longer rule you or dictate your behavior. Your inner needs, feelings, and desires are aligned to your heart's truth.
Kundalini energy is symbolized by one or two serpents that rise up the spine in an undulating fashion from the root to the crown. It is not a coincidence that this is the ancient symbol of Asklepios, the Greek god of healing, and was later adopted as the symbol of modern medicine. The more life-force Kundalini energy we have, the greater states of health and well-being we experience. As lower vibrational energies are released, we naturally experience more peace, love, and joy.
The origins of the serpentine Kundalini energy date back to ancient Sumer in Mesopotamia (5,000 B.C.E.), ancient Egypt (3,500 B.C.E.), and the Minoan civilization (2,000 B.C.E.). While they did not use the term "kundalini," they revered the mother earth as a goddess, a divine being, and consciously pulled the energy of the earth into their own bodies. Modern-day science is validating this through studies that show, for example, how the earth's electrons heal the physical body.
Eastern traditions often teach that Kundalini energy is to be forced up the spine. Practices such as Kundalini Yoga encourage this through breath, chants, and movement. However, without any disrespect to these traditions, such practices are not necessary. They are based on effort, which is a more masculine approach. Kundalini energy is feminine energy. It will rise naturally without force when given the proper conditions.
Here is how you can begin to activate your Kundalini energy
Direct your awareness (with your third eye or inner eye) into the body. I recommend starting with the lower belly (sacral chakra) or the heart (heart chakra). A chakra is a wheel of energy that exists within and surrounds the physical body.
Place your hands on your body where you direct your awareness. Intend to connect with this part of you. Open your heart so you are able to receive whatever information and wisdom arises.
Allow your breath to fill the area beneath your hands.
You have to allow any emotions that you come into contact with to move while maintaining pure observer consciousness. You may want to read this article on How to Deal with Uncomfortable Emotions to Create Emotional Freedom.
The combination of these three things, your intention, attention, and breath, creates magical results. As you do this, you create space in the body. The energy contained within begins to move and vibrate. Emotions and energy that have been repressed or created stagnancy will be able to move. Sometimes it comes into your conscious awareness, sometimes it simply moves up and out. It depends on whether there is something you need to see in order to fully heal.
You may become aware of external energies you ingested that are not yours. The purpose of bringing your attention, intention, and breath into your body is to:
Clear your energy field of all that is not yours
Allow the Kundalini energy, which is your natural state, to flow unobstructed throughout your body
Bring consciousness to that which has been hidden or buried in your subconscious mind (AKA emotional body)
Open channels of communication within your body so you hear your inner voice and can align your thoughts, beliefs, and emotions to your soul's truth
Life begins to flow through you unimpeded. You can breathe into anything. You begin to feel a power that is beyond this world. You come into deeper states of inner union, which ultimately allows you to experience sacred union externally.
This requires time, consistency, and devotion. You are forming a new relationship with your body as the energy of your soul. You are reuniting with aspects of self that have been forgotten. You are inviting all of you to come back into wholeness.
The Kundalini energy naturally begins to rise. It does not need to be forced. Focusing on a technique rather than delving into a connection with your inner self defeats the purpose. The technique may help move energy, but it can never replace the inner love and connection that truly beckon the Kundalini energy to rise.
