On how to activate kundalini, there are many different perspectives and suggestions. Kundalini can be awoken in a number of different ways. For some, it may take many years of serious effort, while for others, it may occur spontaneously. The process is highly personal and frequently unpredictable.

Kundalini awakening is accomplished through a variety of ancient Hindu practices. In India, yogis would traditionally cleanse and prepare for several years in order to safely experience a kundalini awakening.
Although it is stated that you have no influence over when and whether your kundalini energy wakes, there are some techniques that can aid in your awakening and support you on your path:
How do I increase my Kundalini power?
As a result, you can easily escape the dangers (madness, blindness, and protracted trance) that can accompany an uncontrolled Kundalini rising.
What stimulates Kundalini?
When it comes to Kundalini awakening, one might be either prepared or unprepared.
According to Hindu tradition, a time of thorough purification and strengthening of the body and nervous system is normally required prior to being able to absorb this spiritual force. According to Yoga and Tantra, a guru (teacher) can awaken Kundalini, but body and soul must first be prepared via yogic austerities such as pranayama (breath control), physical exercises, visualization, and chanting. The pupil is recommended to take the path with an open mind.
People used to go to ashrams in India to awaken their dormant kundalini energy by frequent meditation, mantra chanting, spiritual studies, and physical asanas like kundalini yoga.
What happens after kundalini awakening?
Kundalini awakening is the movement of powerful emotional and mental patterns in the subtle body, rather than a physical force that may be started and stopped as needed. As a result, awakening is impossible without taking the proper steps to purify the subtle body's pathways. Beware! Unpreparation could have disastrous consequences, such as a nervous breakdown during Kundalini awakening.
No human being can deny the reality of the Divine Mother Kundalini. It's simply a matter of reawakening the Holy Spirit and allowing the power to spread throughout the body. As she ascends to the crown, passing through various nadis and chakras, the divine power purifies both the body and the spirit. She ascends from Muladhar chakra by spreading her rings and passing every chakra in her way to the sahasrara, or crown chakra. She will begin by regenerating the chakras and repairing any harm produced by your poor lifestyle. She will use this to awaken the deities, bringing you closer to the stage of spiritual awareness.
Can Kundalini awaken naturally?
To be honest, there isn't a single answer to this question. After years of establishing a spiritual practice, practising Kundalini yoga, meditating, and so on, some people experience a Kundalini awakening. But it can also happen on its own, without any prior training.
“The Kundalini rising is an automatic process that happensand it can happen under any form of spiritual discipline, any style of yoga,” says Krishna Kaur, a Kundalini yoga teacher.
You may eventually become so neutral and balanced “that you know you've reached a place of total awakened-ness” through the practice of enriching your spirituality and inner world, Kaur notes, adding that she does not teach people to raise their Kundalini energy with an awakening as the goaland does not believe people should attempt it.
The Breakdown By Sound
- ong: the Divine's expressed vibration; the sound current from whence all Creation emerges
- nm: identity; the Name of God that vibrates through all beings and is what produces us; the creative vibration that is within; I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am
- whegur: The Gur, the One who leads us from darkness to light, has an ecstatic experience.
A number of Mantras containing eight tones are used in Kundalini Yoga. Each Chakra is stimulated and nourished by this beat. From the base of the spine to the top of the skull, this first Mantra vibrates. It helps us to initiate, experience, and rejoice the Divine resonance of Kundalini energy inside us by practicing it. As a teenager, I first encountered this Mantra during a yoga camp in the beautiful Arizona mountains. The chief of the camp would get up every morning before daybreak, climb to the top of our cabin's roof, and chant this Mantra at the top of his lungs for two and a half hours. Soon, the sun would gleam golden and silver through his greying beard, each note punctuated by impassioned strokes of his navel. Everyone could sense how deeply he was connected to God through this practice. He never sought to persuade or ask any of us to join him, but we eagerly did so, like bees drawn to the aroma of a sacred blossom. We joined him in chanting, entering an inner space of love that I will never forget. I recall feeling bountiful, full, and utterly content in my heart as the sun rose higher into the sky, possessing everything my soul ever desired in those delicious moments of unity with the Divine.
How to Chant the Mantra
A two-and-a-half breath cycle is used to perform the Long Ek Ong Kr Mantra. You take a big breath and chant for a long time “ek ong kr,” exhale and chant “sat nm, sir,” then half-breathe and say “whegur.” Although what happens inside the body is a tremendous orchestral celebration when this Mantra vibrates through the spine, stimulates the Chakra system, and awakens the Kundalini, we don't use musical accompaniment here.
Apply the Root Lock (or Mlbandh) throughout the recitation, drawing the rectum, genitals, and navel center up and in toward the spine. With your chin slightly tucked in, you can also engage Neck Lock (Jalandhar Bandh), which creates a straight line from the base of the spine to the top of the head.
the crown of one's head As you chant now, “Pull up on the navel center, ek.” While chanting “Allow the sound to reverberate throughout your brain and the base of your nose as you say “ong.” Using “kr,” the sound reverberates from the navel and heart core, creating a feeling of openness. Deeply inhale, then pull in the navel on “sat” and expand on “nm,” taking up the most of the breath. Chant at the conclusion of each breath “sir” and engage the Uddiyana Bandh, also known as the Diaphragm Lock. Using “Sir,” you pause as you draw in your diaphragm. Inhale deeply and pull in your navel to make the short, forceful sound of “wh,” which will be followed by “he-gur.” Every time you pull on the navel, “ek,” “sat,” and “wh,” as well as pulling in on the rectum, genitals, and navel, make this a moment to strengthen your Mlbandh. Following the chanting, “gur,” at the very end, actively pull in the Mlbandh to concentrate the energy and prepare to begin the Mantra cycle again.
When you wake up in the morning, cook breakfast, walk, jog, drive to work, or do any of your daily activities, repeat the Aquarian Sdhan Mantras with the Light of the Naam with Long Ek Ong Kar CD, which is included with Original Light (there are 6 additional chants following Long Ek Ong Kr). You can even chant without music if you make up your own tunes. You may infuse yourself and your surroundings with positive energy by including these chants into your morning routine.

- Mantras. A mantra is a short phrase that is frequently chanted at the end of a yoga session.
And what is a Mantra?
A “mantra” is a sacred utterance, a numinous sound, a syllable, phrase, or set of syllables thought to have psychological and spiritual qualities by practitioners. Mantra meditation aids in inducing a state of altered consciousness.
And finally, a Kundalini Mantra?
Kundalini Mantras are usually written in Gurmukhi, a sacred Indian language, although they can also be written in English. Even if the meaning of each word is unknown, these mantras carry the vibrations of serenity, prosperity, connection, and many other attributes, and their impact is understood.
A list of Kundalini mantras for everyday use is provided below. It's incredible to chant, sing, or simply listen to them in the background. I've included YouTube links to these mantras so you can listen to them for yourself.

What is dark kundalini awakening?
Kundalini, as divine feminine energy, is normally latent in the root chakra (base of the spine). However, there are a variety of circumstances in which kundalini might be awoken unexpectedly, ranging from trauma to drug use to years of focused practice (such as through tantra or kundalini yoga).
I've separated kundalini awakening symptoms into two categories: “bright” and “dark” symptoms. Please keep in mind that kundalini energy is neither good nor bad; it is simply a fundamental power that exists within us. However, some of these experiences are pleasurable, while others are highly painful to the human mind:
‘Light' Kundalini Awakening Symptoms
- You have phases of Oneness during which your compassion for people grows.
- You're motivated to make significant, life-changing decisions and genuine changes in your life.
- The amount of synchronicity (meaningful or miraculous coincidences) increases dramatically.
- Your empathetic powers improve, and you are able to feel things deeply.
- You continue to receive large, cosmic “downloads” of data (soul communication)
‘Dark' Kundalini Awakening Symptoms
- External stimuli (bright light, TV violence, loud noises) cause your nervous system to become hypersensitive, and it shuts down or desires utter solitude.
- You are experiencing visual distortions that can be disconcerting (e.g., objects seeming to vibrate)
- Your body is suffused with strong heat, tremors, or electricity.
- You can't tell what's real from what's imagined (psychosis) and think you're going insane.
Other Kundalini Awakening Symptoms
The kundalini awakening indicators listed above are quite typical. However, as someone who has had kundalini energy travel through them, I can tell you that it does not happen in the same manner for everyone.
For example, one of the most recent experiences I've had was preceded by two weeks of low-level thoughts of ‘impending doom,' followed by the gentle movement of kundalini energy from my brain down through my body into my stomach. The energy was light, like a gentle breeze, and it seemed like it was ‘working' on something in my stomach when it reached it. Then it dissolved and gone.
