Awakening your Kundalini is a four-stage process that is thought to unleash the coil of spiritual energy, known as Kundalini, located at the base of your spine. Certain spiritual techniques, such as yoga, meditation or mantras, can be used to assist the Kundalini awakening process. Practitioners of Kundalini yoga believe that there are numerous benefits of awakening your Kundalini, according to Raman Das Mahatyagi in his book, "Yatan Yoga: A Natural Guide to Health and Harmony."
Increased Intuitive Abilities
Kundalini is believed to increase your intuitive abilities, according to Shakti Pawha Kaur Khalsa in her book, "Kundalini Yoga: The Flow of Eternal Power." Your sixth chakra, or energy center, also known as your third eye, is located at the center of your forehead. During the Kundalini awakening process, energy is pulled up through the center of your body from the base of your spine. When Kundalini energy reaches and settles in your sixth chakra, your intuitive abilities are thought to be unleashed. You may experience increased feelings of clairvoyance or psychic ability, such as premonitions.
Inner Calm and Peace
One calming practice involved in the cultivation and unleashing of your Kundalini energy is meditation. According to Shakti Pawha Kaur Khalsa, awakening your Kundalini through meditation or mantra practice is a beneficial way to increase feelings of calm and peace. You learn to sit with yourself with a nonjudgmental attitude, accepting whatever is occurring in the present moment without reacting or criticizing. During the Kundalini awakening process, you draw the energy up your spine and out of the top of your head, which can increase feelings of bliss and of being one with the universe.
Releases Emotional Blocks
When your Kundalini energy is awakened, it flows through your body and helps to unlock emotional blocks or pent-up negative experiences that you may have never previously dealt with. Kundalini brings to consciousness the issues that were previously unconscious, so you can either deal with them or release them. According to Genevieve Lewis Paulson in her book, "Kundalini and the Chakras," Kundalini energy helps in this process by cleansing you mentally and spiritually and restoring the healthy, natural flow of prana, or divine energy.
Improved Focus
Awakening your Kundalini can help improve your focus and ability to concentrate. According to author Raman Das Mahatyagi, this can also improve the quality of your meditation sessions. During meditation, your mind will be clearer and you will be less likely to be distracted by external events or internal sensations or emotions.
