Kundalini is the primordial energy that resides at the base of your spine. There are several ways of awakening it, but the one’s that Ive been taught about I’ll be talking about just them. I know that you are a great aspirant for Kundalini and would surely Love to know this. As many of my student’s/friends first asked be just this question before joining for my events.
So first of all Kundalini can be awakened not just by one way but by many ways. These ways are are universlly known for Kundalini A. Kundalini will be K and Awakening will be A, which will be written that way as this article proceeds. These are few of the ways, if you know of more ways that you have tried and have found working please dont forget to share them below.
1) Meditation -
Meditation is not an alien word for you I think. Its known universally to everyone. Meditation helps to awaken K, and raise it upward.
All you need to know is how to meditate. With simple guidance from some teacher on meditation. You will learn how to concentrate and go into deeper states of your mind.
Duration of awakening - There is no specific duration, to when your K will Awaken by this method. The famous yogi Gopi Krishna awakened his Kundalini by this method only.
Check out his book/s here
2) Kundalini Yoga -
This yoga is specific to awaken kundalini. Its focused on stretching the energy muscles of the kundalini and opening the channels such that your body gets prepared for the awakening process.
Kundalini Yoga helps the body to remove the energy blocks slowly and prepare the body for smoother awakening.
Duration - I havent tried this literally, might have tried few things unknowingly. I feel this will make the awakening quicker.
3) Hatha Yoga -
This is the severe and difficult form of Yoga that makes the body so strong and the energy system so well defined that awakening happens very much flawlessly. But as I said earlier, its a severe form of Yoga and thus not everybody’s body will be able to do it. Its a real stamina and patience tester. Ascetics practice severe disciplines like fasting, doing yoga postures for prolonged periods of time, etc. Dont know much about it. If you know about this better, then please leave a few words in comments below.
Duration - Again there’s no fixed duration for this too. But this will take a lot much lesser time for Awakening.
4) Pranayam - Pranayam is the breath control method. Your life would be very much in control if you have control over your breath. That’s why its said that breath is your master. If you master it, you can master your life.
Pranayam are different types, they can be for deep breathing, breath retention or cleaning the lungs of stale air. All works amazing on your energy system. These exercises are meant to strengthen your energy system. Kundalini energy can very easily flow when the energy system is clear and flawless.
Duration - Again there is no fixed duration for this too. Also no guarantee of awakening, but one thing is for sure; it will make your inner system very very powerful. And what’s with the Awakening thing. It might happen to you by some other method too if your Guru wishes. [Yes your Guru’s wish, after you wishing for it. I will be writing more about this in upcoming posts; so stay tuned.]
5) Shaktipat - Shaktipat is the method where the Guru transfers a part of their Kundalini energy to that of the students’ Dormant Kundalini. The energy of guru will then help to awaken the kundalini.
Not just awakening. This process will first clear your blocks, not directly. But it will inspire the student to do processes that will clear their energy body. And then will awaken their K. When you have taken Shaktipat, and feel motivated to begin some kinda exercises or pranayam remember that its a sign that you should follow it. That will help you to take your practice to the net level and bring you closer to awakening your K.
Duration - While this process is the quickest, yet you might have to wait for months for the Kundalini to awaken. If you are not regular with your practices then it can even take years. And there needs to be regular sit-ups with your Guru for this. As the Shaktipat energy fades with Time. Its recommended that you stick to one guru, whose teachings resonate with your inner being. And then continue to have sessions with the same Guru. Check here, for Shaktipat details if you want it to be done by me.
Duration - The duration is longer and it depends upon the student how much he is dedicated in chanting the mantra and how many times it has been repeated. But this method is very helpful for those who have a very strong and negative karmic background. And who need to release negativity slowly and in a pain free way. [While pain-free wont be completely painfree, yet it does affect in a certain way.]
When I say more time and less time please be sure that it can also mean ‘years’. As K awakening happens flawlessly only for few gifted soul’s who have gone through the awakening process in past births and have tamed their body for the same through any of these methods. Seasoned soul’s awaken in few weeks. Others need generally months. And for the full awakening to happen it usually takes YEARS. Years is written in capitals to not scare you, but to tell you that be prepared if you wish to awaken your kundalini.
I know you must be feeling that the duration should be lesser and lesser as you want the benefits of a fully blown K asap. But God doesn’t keep you away from it for fun, its for your own Good, as your energy and Karmas will be cleaned slowly but surely.
And ya Karmas cleaned doesnt mean Karmas minused.
