What is Kundalini Awakening? How are Chakras associated with our life areas?

Kundalini Awakening is when your primordial shakti lying at the base of your spine stirs up, and forces upwards to open all chakras one by one or all of them at once. Kundalini when completes its awakening phase, its said that you are a fully awakened being. And you can say, you truly become a human being. And start realising qualities of a human, these qualities were inside you but you didn’t reflect them much. As for you must be scared to act your greatness. Ego makes you avoid bringing out the superior qualities the soul possesses, and make you live in fear and insecurity for life. Unless you work upon your kundalini journey.


Kundalini awakening happens when kundalini stirs up at the base of the spine. This will be felt as vibrations near that area. The vibrations can be subtle or quite louder to make it clearly visible something is happening to you internally. This is not kundalini awakening, its kundalini activating. You might feel these vibrations many times even if you are not practicing awakening your kundalini You might feel these vibes when you practice yoga/ pranayam/ meditation or any spiritual practice. It might be felt also when you are in a romantic relationship that might stir up your sexual feelings.

I call kundalini awakening when there is a blast at the base of the spine and there is a crawling like feeling in your spine. Now this feeling might not come to everybody, but yet the kundalini is awakened, as you would be feeling it has happened. I have known a few who have not felt any crawling of serpent and yet their kundalini is awakened. This is just because the serpent had no blocks on the way. I had lots and so the serpent had to first loosen its hold on the spine and then crawl to open the base chakra, as I feel lots of muck was present on the spine.

And then when the kundalini forces its way upwards the spine it will open chakras that are closed, and on its way present on the sushumna nadi. These chakras will be opened and active once the kundalini untangles them. There are also knots on the way, which are more clear in feeling when they open. Opening of the knots or granthi’s might also give slight to deep pain as the knots are tightly tied up. And after years of inactivity since birth, they are being opened. The knots the more aged become more rigid as well as clogged with blocks as with age you accumulate mental and emotional blocks. Unless you regularly practice energy exercises or yoga/pranayam. Then the blocks will be lesser.

And once all the chakras open the kundalini meets the divine through the crown chakra, and this is considered as complete awakening. When there are desires left, the person stays alive to fulfill them. And when there are no desires left the person has nothing left to experience in the world, and so they unite with the divine never to come back to this world.

The kundalini when it opens through the chakras one by one, it also opens up certain aspects of this world for us. Its because every chakra is associated to a certain aspect of our life. Chakras when not opened they will keep rotating in positive or negative direction without you having much control over it. Once kundalini is awakened and it opens few chakras, it will be easy for you to control those chakras and balance them if they get negative or blocked. This should not make you feel that you will be in conplete control of your chakras, your limiting belief’s might blocks them making you locked in indefinite period of stagnancy, unless that realisation to free yourself from that belief is brought to you.

Opening of each chakra will happen only when you have freed yourself from the karma’s associated with that chakra.

Base Chakra/ Muladhara Chakra -

Its associated with the earth element, and is connected to your materialistic world. Its being balanced or imbalanced with reflect on your world how good or bad it appears. And vice versa, the more you feel your outer world is better the balanced your root chakra will be; and the worse you feel about the world and its happenings the worse will be the condition of your chakra. It will either get blocked or rotate negatively.

When a chakra rotates negatively it brings devastating effects on the areas with which it is associated.

Sacral Chakra/ Swadhisthan Chakra - 

This chakra is associated with the Pain/ Pleasure factor of your life. The more your chakra is balanced the more you will be ready to accept the pleasures in life, and if its imbalanced the more you will be inclined towards accepting pain then pleasure in your life. This also can be said if you are not ready to accept pleasure or comforts in your life, you’ll block this chakra or make it rotate negatively.This also will get reflected in your outer world as you continuously meeting painful situations in your life. Imbalance will make you feel pain is the only way to live in this world, accepting pleasures might seem fearful.

Solar Plexus/ Manipura Chakra- 

This chakra is associated with the power and control aspect of our life. If this chakra will be balanced it will make you feel powerful and in-control of your life. And vice versa when it is imbalanced or blocked, it will make you feel powerless or lacking in power and life will feel out of control. Making this chakra rotate negatively will bring very serious issues in your life. You will have great difficulty bringing back this chakra into your control. Again this depends upon how determined to bring back your life into normal phase. Also depends on your karmas.

Heart Chakra / Anahat Chakra -

This chakra is associated with your love energy, it being balanced will make you easily give and receive Love in your life. And this chakra being blocked or run negative will make you have issues with giving and receiving Love. And it might happen in all relationships.

Vishuddhi Chakra /Throat Chakra-

This Chakra is associated with truth factor of you, if you cannot accept your truth this chakra will remain blocked or run negative. Also communication and self-esteem are associated with this chakra. It all depends on how much the emotional charge is. The negativity in any chakra will show up as problems in that area. Blocked or negative throat chakra will show problems in speech or communicating clearly with people, you might have low-self esteem issues. You might not be understood by people and not be able to express yourself clearly if this chakra has problems.

Ajna Chakra/Third Eye chakra  -

This is the chakra that is associated with your dreams and desires. Whatever you dream of, is actually seen through this eye. And whichever desire has the most intense and prominent energy behind it actually gives out a command into the universe to fulfill it. When your third eye is blocked you will have issues like headaches or pressure that’s unbearable in the forehead area. Also blocked third eye might make you sense of unfulfilling your desires. All your desire’s might seem to go in vain and not manifesting.

Sahastrar Chakra/ Crown chakra - 

Your connection to the divine, this chakra when is balanced will have a good sense of being connected to the God. When it is not in alignment it appear like chaos around you, and you might not believe in existence of God. As the giver of life is not connected or his voice is not reaching out to you clearly. But when this chakra gets actually opened by the Kundalini, will you actually realize the real meaning of connection with God. Until then faith and belief in God is extremely essential to keep your life in balance.

So when all the chakras are opened, the goodness of all the chakras will stay. And there will be almost no blockages in them. At this time it can be said that you will be reflecting as a super being or some one with extraordinary abilities and powers. The first five chakras from base to above, are all associated to an element of this earth. And so when that chakra opens you will be mastering that element and crossing first five chakras will make you a master of all five elements. You will be able to control all elements. [now writing this does not mean that will become a magician and will start producing things from thin air. But being a master I mean that you will be able to control them as you wish, and they wont bug you anymore. When this happens suffering ceases, as the body is composed of these five elements itself.
