Kundalini and Kundalini Facilitator or Kundalini Awakening workshops have gained incredible popularity lately. It seems every other day a new Kundalini Bodyworker is popping up offering to align chakras and open the door to your untapped spirituality through various combinations of breathwork, meditation, shaking, dance, yoga, and those wild thrashing movements that resemble a demonic possession during an exorcism.
That said, the enigmatic nature of Kundalini remains poorly understood, even though it holds the potential to be measured by biomedical science. Often referred to as the bioenergy of spiritual awakening, Kundalini is just one pathway to higher consciousness, not the sole route.
This article aims to help demystify Kundalini for those unfamiliar with the concept, offering a basic introduction. For those seeking more advanced information or undergoing a Kundalini awakening themselves, other resources will offer greater support to you.
Unlocking the Bioenergy of Spiritual Awakening
"Gopi Krishna has written a series of books about Kundalini. He very correctly says that it is the evolutionary force in consciousness and its full development results in a spiritual and brilliant person." - Kundalini Evolution & Enlightenment
Many people are unfamiliar with Kundalini, including those who claim to have experienced it. While some may feel a twinge, a full-blown awakening is rare and cannot be marketed.
I believe that there are less disruptive ways to achieve spiritual awakening.
Kundalini as Spiritual Puberty: A Transformative Process
I find it easiest to describe Kundalini as spiritual puberty. Much like physical puberty, it involves a transformative process. Most people start as spiritual children, experience spiritual acne (challenges and growth), and, with time, evolve into spiritual adults. My take is that Kundalini is a state of change in the body’s bioelectric field, facilitating higher-order cognitive functions.
However, the rapid, binary quantum nature of this physical state change means the body needs rewiring and needs to overcome past trauma. Otherwise, this may lead to disruptions like muscle spasms, pain, anxiety, mental health issues, and hypersensitivity.
Despite the challenges, like puberty, these difficulties diminish over time, resulting in stable, higher-functioning states.
Kundalini and Skeptics: Bridging the Gap
For skeptics or the curious, here is a succinct definition: Kundalini is a physical manifestation of one type of spiritual awakening. This serves as a starting point, respecting diverse beliefs, while offering valuable information on the purpose of human consciousness and existence.
Scientific Perspectives on Kundalini: Measuring Activated Energy
Addressing the scientific aspect, Gopi Krishna's writings about measuring Kundalini's activated energy through biomedical science is a good starting point for newcomers.
For those eager to learn more, challenges arise due to widespread misinformation and exaggeration by many who claim to have experienced Kundalini, made ever more frustrating by the seemingly growing line of Kundalini facilitators all offering various services - from awakenings to unlockings, to unleashing to connections - and all offered in nice and short Kundalini weekend workshops or that enticing Kundalini Masterclass over a handful of hours.
Whilst much qualitative research remains to be done, Bonnie Greenwell's compilation of personal accounts is a reliable starting point. However, more Western neuroscientists and medical professionals are needed to explore the subject of Kundalini.
Kundalini and Spiritual Awakening: Profound and Enduring
Drawing parallels with quick-fix spiritual experiences like DMT trips or ayahuasca, there is a much greater depth and permanence of a genuine Kundalini awakening. Unlike fleeting experiences, Kundalini represents a profound, uncomfortable, and enduring evolution of the soul.
There are various triggers for Kundalini, but a true awakening is not a party trick, not something that can be turned on at a half-day retreat, and requires physical health, sanity, stability, and disciplined engagement. I hold the belief that those who genuinely experience Kundalini remain humble and are forever blown away by its vast and humbling impact on the human psyche.
Navigating Kundalini for a Better Understanding
Anyone interested in learning more about Kundalini and Kundalini Awakening, I strongly suggest you look for credible starting points to begin your research.
Kundalini is not a commodity to be bought or sold, nor is it a party trick. Genuine understanding requires humility, discipline, and respect for the profound impact that Kundalini can have on an individual's life.
