Kundalini Energy: Your Sacred Fire

Kundalini Energy
“The purpose of awakening Kundalini energy is to upgrade your physical body and brain” - Grand Master Choa Kok Sui
 
Kundalini energy is present in every person but remains dormant till about puberty. It is Kundalini energy that provides the required energy that the body needs to initiate and sustain the changes that it undergoes during the teenage years. The location of this sacred energy is at the base of the spine.

Shiva and Shakti

In the philosophy of Yoga, there is mention of two very powerful energies: Shiva and Shakti. While Shiva is regarded to be a masculine energy, Shakti is feminine. While Shakti is the energy in the physical world, the Shiva energy is related to the spiritual world. Shakti is therefore the manifest tangible counterpart of Shiva. Shiva is formless while Shakti is closely linked with matter.

Kundalini energy is a form of energy that works in unison with the Form, the Manifested, and the Physical Body. Spiritual schools regard Kundalini energy as a sacred fire that requires awakening and which eventually allows spiritual practitioners to register inner experiences as well as attain higher levels of consciousness.

Awakening the Serpent

The Upanishads describe Kundalini energy as a coiled serpent as the base of the spinal cord awaiting awakening. There are various references to this sacred energy in not only the Upanishads, but also various other religious texts and symbols. Even the fairy-tale of The Sleeping Beauty is considered by many to be a garbed reference to the Kundalini energy lying asleep just like the princess. The prince, being a symbol for the spiritually potent energy, awakens the Kundalini with a kiss.

The ability to experience bliss and the attainment of enlightenment through deep meditation are all results of awakening the Kundalini energy. Grand Master Choa Kok Sui, the founder of Pranic Healing and Arhatic Yoga regarded Kundalini energy as the energy that is needed to upgrade the brain cells as well as the physical body. Without an upgraded brain with the ability to register higher vibrations, being able to experience illumination is nearly impossible.  

“Evolution of the soul must be accompanied by evolution of the body, just as the evolution of computer software must be accompanied by the evolution of computer hardware. We cannot use the latest program on a computer that is 10 years old. They are not compatible.” - Grand Master Choa Kok Sui
 
Therefore, this compatibility is the key to awakening the Kundalini energy effectively. Our inner experiences go unnoticed and we remain unaware of them till the brain has been developed enough.

The 49 Layers of Spiritual Awakening

The Kundalini energy is believed to have 7 layers with 7 sub-layers. Awakening this powerful energy results in Kundalini energy rising from the base of the spine, up the central meridian and eventually reaching the Crown Chakra or Sahasrara Chakra which is situated above the head. Fully awakened Kundalini energy involves the awakening of all the 49 layers. The question, with most spiritual practitioners, therefore is how many degrees of awakening the Kundalini they have successfully surpassed.

Using “improper” methods to awaken the Kundalini leads to many negative side effects often referred to as the syndrome that includes symptoms like physical pains, rashes, incongruous heating up of the body, emotional imbalances, sexual syndromes and even hallucinations. It is thus advisable to follow a safe method of awakening the Kundalini.

Spiritual Health is the Key to Wholesomeness

Spiritual Health is the Key to Wholesomeness When we think of health, we tend to think of a state where there is no illness in the body. However, that view is quite one-sided as health is not merely the absence of disease. Being healthy requires more than that; it requires the entire body to function harmoniously and pre-supposes certain wholesomeness. Early to bed and early to rise, might not be enough to make one healthy, wealthy and wise after all! Holistic wellness is attained only when one has spiritual health as well.  Just as our physical body needs food and care, our spiritual body cannot be neglected. The spiritual practices of meditation, purification and character building keep our spiritual body healthy. While the right food and the right exercise benefits our tangible form, our energy body needs spiritual energy to thrive.  When we think of health, we tend to think of a state where there is no illness in the body.

Four Techniques to Survive Your day

“FOUR TECHNIQUES TO SURVIVE YOUR DAY” As we well know, modern life is getting ever more packed with work, family, social responsibilities, and more.  One hundred years ago, single-tasking was probably all there was.  We didn’t have a phone ringing just as we were changing lanes on a busy highway or work message alerts going off at home while squeezing shoes on our kids. Working too much and being busy morning till night can take a toll on multiple levels and even amount to a serious health condition down the line.  We say we should therefore re-organize our schedules and decline commitments or additional responsibilities to stay healthy.  We may even go for a career change or move to a town with a slower pace of life. But what if we could accomplish all we are currently committed to–or more–with a genuine smile on our faces and plenty of energy till 10:00 at night? Some of us can’t change our jobs or schedules–or we love what we are doing and don’t wan...
