Your kundalini energy is your connection with nature and the planet.

Every living being on the planet is born with a reserve of life force.

It is like a root of energy linking you with the planet.

In the Indian tradition, the kundalini is represented by a snake coiled in your base chakra.

When your kundalini wakes up, it rises through your spine and energizes the various chakras met during its ascension.

The Buddha’s enlightenment is symbolized by the rising of a cobra opening his crown chakra.

There are many more representations of the kundalini energy in various writings and mythologies.

The kundalini is symbolized in many ways. It can be a snake or other kind of reptile like a crocodile. A dragon can as well be seen as a representation of the Kundalini.

A knight taming a dragon is literally a symbol of him taming his own instinctual or animal nature.

In other representations, the kundalini is represented as a lion. It is visible in various Hindu temples as a Yogi taming a roaring lion.

You sometimes see a Yogi meditating on a Tiger skin. This is the same symbolism of the taming of the animal nature.

Here is how you can summarize all this:

Your being contains a source of instinctual energy.

It is the “raw” life force given to you at birth.

The process of evolution on this planet is a process of awakening and refining of the Kundalini energy.

A plant’s kundalini rises until the etheric level (as well called upper physical plane).

An animal kundalini rises until the astral plane (the plane of the emotions and dreams).

A human kundalini naturally rises until the mental plane (level of thoughts and conceptual thinking).

When you consciously wake up your kundalini, you attempt to break through beyond the natural limits of the mental plane and break through the causal (upper mental plane) and the buddhic plane.

After that, you connect with the nirvanic level of existence.

This is why the rising of your kundalini is associated with an enlightenment process.

You literally take your original raw source of kundalini energy and let it rise through the chakras until it pierces through your crown.

This is what is symbolically called enlightenment.

This break through allows the descent of fresh universal energy into your being.

The benefits are infinite.

The goal is to remove any obstacles which stand on the way of the rising of this force.

Taming your kundalini does not mean controlling or limiting it.

It means working with the forces of nature rather than against them.

When this inner source of energy wakes up in you, it is immensely clarifying for the mind and the body.

Your thoughts are clearer.

You reawaken your instinctual nature and this gives you more body energy and vitality.

Yes, you can.

The process of waking up your kundalini has three key aspects to it:

· Physical awakening

This includes dynamical physical techniques, breathing techniques, etc. Through all this awakening, your connection with nature is vital.

· Meditation

Through meditation you strengthen your mind set and align the newly awakened forces with a profound plan for your evolution. Meditation is part of the taming process. When you meditate, you link your kundalini energy with a new “awakening” force.

· Life style choices

This includes healthy diets, day rhythm choices, harmonious sexual activity, etc.

· Inspiration stream

Many people have walked the path of the kundalini awakening in the past. You can reinvent your own techniques or tune into an existing tradition. This inspiration stream is an inner or outer source of guidance and support. It is an energy sponsor which sustains your steps.

Most techniques associated with kundalini awakening involve, breathing and hatha yoga like postures.

Sexual activity can as well wake up your kundalini energy.

Within certain ancient traditions the rise of the kundalini brings you to a trance and altered state of consciousness.

Techniques usually involve as well visualization and other meditation techniques.

Singing is often used as well.

When you wake up your kundalini, you unleash your instinctual power.

It is like calling your animal nature to the surface and working with it consciously.

Now, imagine having a roaring lion in the core of your being and having to tame it.

This is your role.

Imagine now a wild stallion suddenly waking up.

Imagine it “fenced” by controlling forces.

The goal of your kundalini energy is to be set free.

It is to help you spiritually evolve and free you from the limitations of your own mind.

This means that the wild stallion we talk about will do anything to run free.

It will break fences and limits.

These limits are often in your mind in the form of limiting beliefs or existing mind patterns.

A thought form is an architecture of energy.

Now, this architecture can be a limiting fence for your own spiritual evolution.

The moment you wake up your kundalini, this intelligent force will naturally free you from the limitations of your own mind.

This means that a battle for freedom happens.

It is a natural and energizing process which has the power to remove whatever holds you back.

This means that with any practice, it is better to start up with small “doses” of practices and unleash this inner power progressively.

Imagine a mountain stream starting to grow and increase its power.

It will first clear the branches in the stream.

Then, it will clear trunks and even big rocks until the river bed is clear and smooth.

This is symbolically what happens with your mind.

This clarification associated with the awakening of your kundalini happens naturally.

It is good to remember though that your will power can sometimes head for targets which are too high. If you never trained and decide to suddenly run a marathon, it might put too much strain on your body at once.

Give your body and mind enough space and time to adapt to the new flow of energies.

It is good as well to avoid mixing techniques with use of drugs, alcohol or smoke.

Combining all that can create a clash of energies in your system.

If you can, stick to a healthy life style. There is no need to rigidly suppress anything if you don’t want to; simply make conscious choices and think of what you want in your life long term.
