The Kundalini is an energetic pathway in the body that runs from the base of your spine up along your spine, up the back of your head and out the top of your head.
There are many energetic pathways in the body but there are two main energy pathways. One moves up the center of the front of the body and the Kundalini, which runs up the center of the back of the body.
In spiritual practices such as meditation, you are increasing the amount of energy (also known as Kundalini Shakti) that moves through these channels. The energy itself begins to purify and widen these energy channels so that more Kundalini Shakti can move through. The more energy, the deeper your awareness and bliss.
There are many techniques and practices that are used to increase the Kundalini Shakti so that a spiritual awakening or Kundalini awakening can occur. One method is through the breath.
A simple breathing technique that can help awaken the Kundalini is to close your eyes, sit up straight and breathe up your spine.
Start by focusing on the base of your spine and as you inhale move your attention up along your spine and out the top of your head (following the pathway of the Kundalini). Then as you exhale move your attention from the top of your head down the front center of your forehead, face, throat and then let the exhale end at the center of your chest.
Repeat the process, starting again at the base of your spine.
In this way with every breath, you are moving your attention in a partial circle; starting at the base of your spine up along your spine and out the top of your head and then down through your third eye, throat and then your heart at the center of your chest.
The most important part to awakening your Kundalini is to receive Kundalini Shakti. Simply by receiving Kundalini Shakti, your Kundalini and other energetic pathways naturally become awakened.
When you receive Kundalini Shakti, you usually feel it as unconditional peace, bliss or love. Then the easiest way to awaken your Kundalini is to simply give your attention to this feeling of bliss. The more you remain aware and allowing of this bliss, the more the bliss increases.
The main way to receive Kundalini Shakti is to sit with a fully enlightened master of meditation. A fully enlightened teacher naturally radiates Shakti.
You can also receive this same Shakti through a unique sound technology on CD. Kundalini Shakti has been recorded and turned into sound so simply by listening to these sounds your Kundalini is awakened. Click on the “Kundalini Shakti CD” link below to listen to free samples.
