Signs of Kundalini Awakening: Major Signs and Symptoms

Kundalini in Hinduism is a form of spiritual, divine energy and consciousness located at the base of the spine where it lies coiled and dormant.

Kundalini energy is responsible for evolutionary development and for heightened states of consciousness and awareness and is present in all living life forms.

Kundalini may unravel and arise from the base of the spine due to spiritual practices, or in response to life events, and when this happens it may move gradually, uncoiling like a snake, or quickly and explosively, into the gut, the heart or the head.

While it does this, the Kundalini awakens each of 7 Chakras along the way.

A Kundalini awakening happens when energy is released, and our vibration is strong enough to release it.

A full Kundalini Awakening is extremely rare.

This event can be frightening and chaotic, worrisome or joyful, and it usually triggers months and even years of new sensations and changes in the person who awakens it.

Kundalini can be erratic. It can bring harmony and bliss one day, and discomfort and even pain the next. It can stir up an assortment of peculiar symptoms, both wonderful and frightening.

Kundalini awakening presents a profound opportunity for those following a spiritual path.

It releases patterns, conditions and delusions of the separate self and this can threaten the ego-structure because people often feel a loss of interest in their old life and identity. Consciousness may enter new, strange and unfamiliar expansive or empty states that are disorienting.

People who are unfamiliar with the concept therefore, may be afraid they are ill or losing their minds when symptoms begin manifesting.

So understanding is important.

If you are experiencing physical symptoms that are giving you concern in any way, it is of course always wise to get a medical check-up.
