The Kundalini Ascension Process
Describing Kundalini energy isn’t easy—it’s sacred, mysterious, and deeply transformative. The word Kundalini means “coiled,” and it refers to the dormant energy of awakening that lies within every human being.
Often symbolized as a serpent, Kundalini mirrors the spiral motion it takes as it rises from the base of the spine. In many traditions, it’s also seen as the energy of creation itself.
The Awakening of Kundalini
Kundalini can awaken through various experiences—intense spiritual practices, trauma or shock, meeting your twin flame, sexual union with someone whose Kundalini is already awakened, use of consciousness-altering substances, spiritual initiation, or even spontaneously.
It’s not something you can schedule or control. A Kundalini awakening is a divine event, unfolding when your higher self decides you’re ready and your soul gives the green light.
Before the full awakening, you may feel confused, mentally foggy, or experience subtle energetic shifts. When the energy rises completely, it surges through the chakra system, burning through blockages as it moves from the feet and spine all the way to the crown of the head.
The body may feel paralyzed by the intense energy rushing through it—an overwhelming experience if you're unprepared. But as it clears your energy channels, the mind can be flooded with what feels like waves of ecstatic, orgasmic love.
Words often fail to capture the depth of these experiences.
Kundalini energy is the essence of enlightenment. It can feel as if a divine presence has taken form inside your body—an intimate encounter with your truest self.
The Kundalini Process
Just as Kundalini rises, it also descends. While many teachings focus on the awakening itself, the true transformation begins afterward. You’re no longer the same—it's the birth of a new life.
Unless you were fully prepared—your energetic and emotional system already purified—the awakening will trigger a deep spiritual cleansing. This purification works on every level: physical, energetic, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
It’s a long journey, often taking years. The more we surrender, trust, and flow with the process, the smoother it becomes.
This is a powerful energetic detox that dismantles your old self. The ego resists, trying to cling to what once was, which can make the journey incredibly intense—and for some, even dangerous.
Physical, mental, and emotional pain may arise as blockages are brought to the surface to be released. You may face traumas—some even from past lives—and the only way out is through: face them, learn the lessons, and let them go for good. You may even transmute collective traumas, healing not just yourself, but future generations.
Though the process can bring moments of bliss, joy, and peace, you’ll likely walk through your own dark night of the soul.
But know this: everything will eventually be transformed into light.
Surviving the Process
I use the word survive intentionally—this process can be that intense. As Kundalini pushes unresolved energy to the surface, we learn to heal and alchemize darkness into love.
If you're going through this, remember: it’s temporary. You're experiencing it because you're ready. You already carry the tools you need to get through it.
Kundalini is not something we “do”—it moves through us. It’s a sacred alchemy of awakening and enlightenment, flowing through the body. Recognizing this allows us to observe and surrender more peacefully to the process.
Resistance and frustration will only make it harder.
The more we detach from ego and body identification, the more ease we find in the journey.
It’s like a spiritual puberty—there’s no going back, no pause button. Once awakened, the process continues until your being is fully cleansed and your soul liberated.
Observe what is. Accept what is. Do what needs to be done. And above all—rest.
Your body is being upgraded to hold higher frequencies, and it needs time to reset, recharge, and adjust. Kundalini ascension will completely transform you—it turns your being into a vessel for divine energy.
You’ll become humble. Your heart will overflow with love, compassion, and gratitude.
You’ll reconnect with Source, becoming a walking channel of light. You’ll remember who you are, why you came here, and gain insight into the very nature of the universe.
There’s no single “right” way to navigate this transformation. Kundalini awakening is a spiritual rebirth that changes everything.
Always let your intuition guide the way.
