An Experience of Kundalini Energy

Kundalini is activated through a spiritual transmission called Shaktipat, a process by which a liberated spiritual teacher with an already awakened Kundalini acts as a vehicle for the transmission of this cosmic energy into the spiritual aspirant.   This is not the only way that Kundalini can be awakened, but it is powerful, effective, and considered by many to be the most direct method.

The awakening of the Kundalini can manifest in many ways.   The following are based on the experience of Gabriel.
  • Kryias: Unusual physical movements or sensations that may occur on emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. They may be gentle pulsations or swirling feelings over the chakras, very vigorous physical movements, sudden changes in emotional states, spontaneous crying, rapid thought production, or spiritual visions. They are evidence of the purifying movement of the Kundalini as it travels through the body and subtle energy system.
  • Visions of the charka system or energy body.
  • A feeling of peaceful bliss
  • Pains in the sacral and lumbar areas, which are a result of the awakening of the Kundalini.
  • The inner world and the universe begin to emerge into awareness.
  • Certain emotional issues may come up intensely and then quickly pass
  • The being becomes pure ecstasy and Love.

The awakening may be intense, as described above, or it may be moderate or mild. This depends on the Kundalini energy build-up in each person and what his or her internal spiritual circuitry can handle.

The Ultimate Kundalini Experience

Once the Kundalini is awakened, it is a process, of purifying the body and deepening the experience.   If the seeker continues to awaken, they will proceed down a long path.   The final stage is when energy in the sixth chakra is released when the awakened awareness of all the chakras are merged into the one non-dual awareness of the Truth.  
  • Shakti Kundalini and spiritual Kundalini completely merge into a single Kundalini energy. All polarity of the Kundalini and duality in our consciousness vanish
  • The energy of each chakra merges into this one energy, although a remnant of each remains for body maintenance.
  • The subtle bodies are perfectly aligned and merged together.
  • The primary center for energy intake becomes the pure prana taken in through the crown chakra.
  • The body and mind essentially dissolve into this one energy, our Union in God Consciousness.
  • We operate from a sense of pure knowingness, and become absorbed in the pure apperception of God Awareness. This is a quality associated with Enlightenment.

Sahaja samadhi is when, both awake and asleep, one is aware of being in the awareness of I AM THAT. Even though the mind-body complex seems to be asleep at night, the witness is experiencing pure Light.   The being realizes they are the divine.   There is no path, since we are already here.

Like everything else on the spiritual path, the non-dualistic awareness does not become totally immediate.    No one, even the most enlightened masters, is in 100 percent unbroken awareness of the Truth all of the time. As long as we are in the body, we are still subject to the subtle pulls of money, sexuality, greed, and the lust of the body in different ways.
