Kundalini awakenings 101: why it hurts and why it will get better
Kundalini awakening
A kundalini awakening, or spiritual awakening, is the sudden opening of your eyes to the truth that there is more to life than you previously thought—that we are all connected and playing the game of life on planet Earth for our soul's evolution.
That we chose to come here, and that everything is happening for you, not to you. That duality is a game, created by Source (and consequently by us as we are Source itself) for the purpose of experiencing expansion and unity consciousness.
We forget so we can remember and revel in our own brightness.
You may not realize all of this at once. You will likely piece things together throughout your awakening journey, which will take the rest of your life. Depending on how you are designed to learn—whether by diving into books or through experience, or from others—you will uncover the mysteries of life. Your ego will strive to reject these experiences by moving your attention away.
How does awakening happen?
It can be a gradual walk toward awareness, followed by a sudden Kundalini awakening.You may look back and realize that, for years prior to your Kundalini awakening, you expanded your awareness, your ego softened, and you became more open to what you had previously considered 'eccentric.
A Kundalini awakening, on the other hand, is an undeniable, indisputable, and sudden expansion is awareness. You may be reading a book or gazing at the starts when it just hits you.
Kundalini is the dormant universal energy within your spine, waiting to flow at a specific moment chosen by your soul prior to your journey on the Earth plane. It starts to travel up and down your spine, bringing you online and making you aware of your galactic status.
It can feel scarier than anything you have ever experienced. It is completely normal to feel like you are losing your mind. Your psychic powers may turn on immediately,and you might start seeing energy, sensing, and knowing things you couldn't possibly know about someone.
This flowing energy will clear your body and chakras of stagnant energy, sweeping away what no longer serves you. Depending on how much you resist, this can take months or years. It can be extremely painful and you may feel exhausted. It will push you to rest more than you believe you can handle.
Don't fight it
There is no use fighting it. The more you surrender the easier and less painful it will be. Not everyone goes through a sudden and intense Kundalini but we are now living in a very special time where it is finally safe enough for so many of us to come back online and live authentic, aligned lives, unafraid of negative intelligent energy.
Your life will drastically change—you will most likely lose friends, change your habits, and find it difficult to sustain interest in your job, as your focus shifts away from a highly material life. However, whatever you are meant to learn on this journey will be made available to you.
Suffice to say that everything in your life will change. Some people (especially children born today) are born already aware and online. You may feel extremely lonely in this experience as you may not know what is happening to you, what to call it, and how to find others going through this.
You may go through this mostly alone if you're meant to trust your inner judgment and learn not to depend on others' approval in place of your own intuition.
Feel into the vibration of knowing that this is a necessary process, designed by you to teach you to surrender.
When your Kundalini is complete, you will know it. You will get your energy back and rejoin society.Every part of your body might hurt for years, especially if you have lived a life of deep trauma. But when it is done you will be ready to live a life of purpose, joy, ease, and deep trust with the universe.
You will discover yourself and know who you are, past the confines of your human body. A being of light. An infinite, all-encompassing, being of love and light.
Your expanded perspective on life will push you to be of service, and remind you daily that everything is how it is. Life simply is.
The love, alignment, and focus you feel on a daily basis will be a small sliver of your soul's essence, but strong enough to help transform the world.
