How Kundalini Yoga Awakens Your energy
In hindu mythology, Kundalini energy is depicted as a coiled serpent resting at the base of the spine. This energy, or kundalini, is present and dormant in everyone. A Kundalini awakening occurs when this energy is released from the root chakra at the bottom of the spine, and flows upwards to the seventh chakra in the crown of the head. It’s described as feeling like cool breeze or electric current running across the spine.
Many forms of yoga, including hatha, aim to uncurl the Kundalini energy to achieve the spiritual enlightenment. Some practitioners claim it has taken them years to achieve a kundalini awakening. Those attempting to cultivate their energy for an awakening should familiarize themselves with a routine of meditation, prana, and asanas.
Kundalini Energy starts with Prana
The kundalini energy is thought to be initiated during pranayama, or the yoga breath. In yoga, prana is the breath of life and helps to bring about about changes in the consciousness of the mind — alternate nostril breathing has helped to awaken the kundalini. Additionally, the practice of bandhas helps to release the energy in the chakras, and direct the energy towards the highest chakra.
Meditation prepares you for a Kundalini Awakening
Whole body guided meditation helps to raise the body’s awareness and prepare the nervous system to handle the rising energy that courses through the body. Meditation is an excellent way to cleanse the pathways in the body to help the kundalini energy follow the correct path.
Asanas clear a path for Kundalini energy
Though asana originally meant a sitting yoga pose, it now is applied to any yoga pose to restore and maintain the wellbeing of a yoga practitioner. In Kundalini, asanas are used to clear the chakras and open up a flow for the energy. Several recommended yoga poses include: crow pose, frog pose, camel pose, and cobra pose.
We recommend that before you attempt to awaken your kundalini energy you should consult first with an experienced practitioner. Working with a practitioner will help to prepare the body for a positive awakening experience.
