What the Awakening of the Kundalini Really Is

A spiritual teacher addresses common misconceptions about Kuṇḍalinī awakening.

"I often receive many letters and phone calls from people who say they have a problem with Kuṇḍalinī."

"When the Kuṇḍalinī truly awakens and your chakras are purified and awakening, you will be the happiest person, a relaxed person."

The speaker clarifies that a true Kuṇḍalinī awakening is a positive and pleasant expansion of consciousness, not a source of problematic sensations. He explains that distressing feelings attributed to Kuṇḍalinī are often nervous system disturbances from incorrect practice, while genuine awakening brings happiness, contentment, and freedom through awakened knowledge and self-confidence.

I often receive many letters and phone calls from people who say they have a problem with Kuṇḍalinī, that their Kuṇḍalinī is awakened. So, I don't know if Kuṇḍalinī has a problem with you, or you have a problem with Kuṇḍalinī. The truth is, there is no problem when Kuṇḍalinī awakens. This feeling of having a problem is completely wrong. It is a fixed idea: you think, "My Kuṇḍalinī is awakened, and I now feel some kind of energy moving up and down." Yes, Kuṇḍalinī awakens, and energy moves up and down, but you cannot feel it in that problematic sense. It is a very pleasant awakening of consciousness and wisdom. If you practice something incorrectly—wrong Kriyā, wrong imagination—perhaps some disturbances take place in the nervous system. And then you think, "It is my chakras awakened or my Kuṇḍalinī awakened." That is not the case. When the Kuṇḍalinī truly awakens and your chakras are purified and awakening, you will be the happiest person, a relaxed person. You will be independent from everything, you will be content in everything, and you will experience freedom. This is because knowledge awakens, and that knowledge will not awaken as long as your self-confidence is not developed. For that reason, it has been explained: what the Kuṇḍalinī and chakras mean. This is nothing but our own existence. It is our own phenomenon. It is our dynasty. It is our past histories, and it is our future way. And it is not bad. It is very clear.
