Kundalini Awakening: The purging process

A Kundalini awakening is a spiritual experience that occurs when the Kundalini energy, located at the base of the spine, is activated and travels up through the chakras (energy centers in the body).

The Kundalini energy is often depicted as a coiled serpent, and when it is awakened, it can bring about intense sensations and profound changes in consciousness. The Kundalini is the primal life force energy, your natural connection to the cosmos. Individuals may experience a range of physical, emotional, and psychological symptoms, including heat or tingling sensations in the body, spontaneous movements, altered states of consciousness, intense emotions, and a sense of oneness with the universe. The experience can be transformative, leading to heightened spiritual awareness, greater empathy, and a deeper connection with the self and others.

Though the kundalini awakening is a life-changing experience, it is one of the hardest things you’ll go through in your lifetime. This is not an exaggeration, a kundalini awakening comes in to change your whole life. You experience a profound ego death and the old you no longer resonates. You will lose friends and family because it will get harder for you to relate with them and if you resist this change, unexpected fallouts will happen. You will experience a feeling of loneliness and isolation. Life as you know it will cease to exist. 

During the purging process, the kundalini energy cleans out each chakra. As it moves through the root chakra, it can cause a change in your career and occupation. You will start to feel unfulfilled and may even lose your job in extreme cases. This is because, during an awakening, everything that is not in alignment with your higher self (soul) will fall away. Just like your friends and family, your job will no longer resonate. This is not true in all cases but it is in most cases. Your soul is calling you to live a purpose-filled life and even though you might not know what that is at first, you have to trust the process. 

The kundalini energy has a powerful effect on the sacral chakra because it activates this intense sexual energy. It is more powerful than anything you have ever experienced. Even if you are sexually active you’ll often feel like you cannot get enough. The energy can feel uncontrollable. Masturbation and sexual intercourse can help but you will need to learn to transmute sexual energy. This often looks like channeling the energy into creative endeavors and attaining more spiritual enlightenment. I’m sure you are probably thinking, ‘What on earth does that mean?’. I know it can be hard to understand at first but this is creative primal energy flowing through you. You won’t be truly satisfied if you just have sex. The sacral chakra is also our creative center and we have to be able to use this energy to creatively express ourselves. I don’t mean when you are horny, you should write a song or go and paint. If this works for you, that‘s good. I mean living a life more in alignment with your soul will help you keep this energy under control. You also will need to embrace your sexuality and not judge yourself. 

As the energy moves through the solar plexus chakra, your diet is likely to change. You’ll probably start to crave less dense foods and you may develop reactions to foods you used to love. Some of these reactions could include skin rashes, diarrhea, migraines, vomiting, etc. I’ll suggest you eat more fruits and vegetables to your diet and take your time to figure out what works for you. During a kundalini awakening, your body changes and some people even say your DNA changes. Though there is no substantial scientific evidence to support the DNA changes, from my personal experiences I’ll say your body starts to adjust to support the new frequency moving through you. This makes it possible for your spiritual gifts to be activated. 

The kundalini energy will also make us face our shadow side and deal with repressed emotions. We can experience sudden waves of depression and anxiety. These repressed emotions may also be connected to sexual trauma or any other form of trauma that you may have experienced. This is the hardest part of the awakening in my opinion because you can no longer run from yourself. All your old coping mechanisms will no longer work and you will need to face your demons. I recommend journaling and talking to a therapist or a guide to help you through your ascension process. When the kundalini energy is moving through the heart chakra, you could also experience heart palpitations. Once this chakra is open you will start to have this feeling of oneness with all and you will also feel whole within.

When the Kundalini energy flows through this chakra, it can bring about a greater sense of clarity and confidence in one’s communication, as well as a deeper connection with one’s own truth and inner voice. At the same time, a Kundalini awakening can also bring up any blockages or issues related to communication, such as fear of speaking up or difficulty expressing oneself. It is important to approach these experiences with compassion. You can also experience physical symptoms such as sore throats, and coughs. 

The activation of the Kundalini energy is said to be closely linked to the opening and activation of the third eye chakra. When the Kundalini energy is awakened, it is said to rise up through the chakras, eventually reaching the third eye and leading to heightened states of consciousness and spiritual insight. The third eye chakra, also known as the Ajna chakra, is located in the center of the forehead and is believed to be the seat of intuition and higher consciousness. It is often associated with the color indigo and is said to be connected to the pituitary gland. When the pineal gland is activated you may experience intense dreams and visions. Headaches and migraines are common side effects of this activation. Give your body the time and space to adjust. This means you get lots of rest and drink plenty of water. A healthy diet could also help to minimize these symptoms. Visit your doctor to make sure you have no underlying health issues. 

The activation of the crown chakra, also known as the Sahasrara chakra, is said to be the ultimate goal of the Kundalini awakening process. The crown chakra is located at the top of the head and is associated with spiritual enlightenment, unity consciousness, and a connection to the divine. When the Kundalini energy reaches the crown chakra, it is believed to burst open the chakra, leading to a profound spiritual awakening and a sense of oneness with the universe. This state of consciousness is often described as samadhi or enlightenment.

The kundalini awakening process can be a painful and beautiful one. It is a process of complete transformation and letting go of the false identity. As the energy flows through you, you will experience a range of symptoms such as fatigue, restlessness, depression, etc. Be kind to yourself and remember that these intense feelings will pass. They are just a part of the process. If you are experiencing very painful physical symptoms, please contact a medical professional.
