How can we 'awaken' the KUNDALINI?

Kundalini is the ‘Son of God’ or the ‘Tree of Knowledge’ within us.

It is the mystical ‘serpent’ that has to be ‘lifted up’ / awakened / ‘raised up’ from slumber - to get the Truth of the Absolute within us. To reach God, as if.

The yogis tell us that this seed or son of the Source lies dormant at the bottom of our spine, near our genital area. It is said to lie thereof, at the base of our spinal column, in a deep sleep or somnolence as though - until roused by us.

Or so is done for us naturally by the Grace of the Divine.

It is the cosmic stuff or matter from which our own life and that of the universe is formed; and thereafter, birthed into being as a manifest entity to behold.

It is the soul of our core and crux.

So, what preparations must the seeker make to rouse or awaken the kundalini?

I could repeat for you what the yogis or the yogic texts say. But this much you can get from reading ancient yogic books from India. At least the theory of it.

Hence, I will not pen down the above said bookish knowledge over here.

Alternatively, I will give you some practical advice and information out of that which I have learnt and gathered from my own personal experience of kundalini awakening. It will cut down the non-essentials. It will speed up the process.

In fact, I will make it very, very simple for you.

At the very onset - FORGET ABOUT KUNDALINI!

It shall rise up and awaken by itself if you do as follows:-

1. Leave eating non-vegetarian. For, all life is One Life.
2. Sit straight. Do not slouch or lie down in ‘shava asna’ i.e. in a sleeping position, lest you fall asleep. That you will, in time.
3. Do some ‘pranayama’ or breathing exercises. It will bring stability.
4. Chant your mantra (s) if you have any, with closed or eyes open. Preferably with eyes closed. The latter activity gets better results.
5. Concentrate without tension, in a natural manner, ‘loosely’ so at the space between the eyebrows (gyna chakra).
6. Bow deeply, within. Concept free, without attachment to whatever you have learned about kundalini, god or religion etc. Be detached from your favourite and fanciful ideas of and about Which Is i.e. God or Self-Realization or Revelation etc.
7. Keep repeating the whole process. Over and over again, everyday. Until Divine Grace dawns. Then, kundalini will rise by itself. Without you having to do anything.

In a nutshell, all you have to do is to be a humble, a hungry and a thirsty seeker and devotee of Divine Reality - whatsoever it be.

For until it happens, self-realization, none comprehends fully That Which Is.

NOTE: BEWARE!

• Do not get attached to any visions or sounds etc. that come about. And they will, if your karmic due it is. For, they will blind you, make you dumb, and bind you.
• Do not get discouraged. Keep going. Observe. Detached.
• Do not get puffed up if during meditative state you witness a godly figure, especially your familial-familiar deity of your own particular region-race-religion.
• Do not be unnecessarily fascinated by matters in-between. Know that all sounds and visions of any kind, your imagined or imbibed ones, die a natural death as you advance on the Path.
• Do not get frightened of or attached to any seemingly abnormal or paranormal ‘happenings’. Your body too may shake. Other things too will happen. Your ears may ‘ring’. You will ‘see’ much, even with eyes closed. Worry not about a thing. There are miles to go! They mean nothing. They will come, and go. Fear nothing!

You are the sired of, and in the ‘make’ of the Absolute!

All the best. Be resolute.

It may be pertinent to mention here that anyone who has had even a little bit of the self-experience of KUNDALINI will in all probability ‘overcome’ and ‘rise above’ all distinctions of caste, creed and country; of race, religion and region; of man, woman and gender inequality; of difference betwixt any ‘lower’ or ‘higher’ life, of there being any ‘beast’/animal life and silly human life, between ‘this’ and ‘that’ life - whether of friend, family or foe!

In fact, anyone who witnesses ‘All That Is’ after kundalini awakening, he or she loses and lets go all such simplistic ideas of ‘mine’ and ‘thine’; which, we as insipid and stupid humans have egoistically and egotistically imbibed from our ‘worldly’ and ‘earthly’ knowledge - be it of our superstitious ancestors, or from today’s this-that all-knowing Joe!

Why does this happen?

It happens because kundalini or the ‘wise serpent of God’, once woken up from slumber as if, by itself - owing to its inherent ‘holy ghost’ - brings in the self-experience of the Source of What Is: of the Absolute or God as though. Hereof All is the Whole, and the Whole is One. Thereof none is other than ‘One’.

And whosoever sees One, does so as One - is ‘One’.

To this ‘Tree of Knowledge’ awakens us the kundalini. Welcome!
