There are experiences in life that no one ever can prepare you for.

A kundalini awakening is one of those things for the person you were before the awakening is no longer there. The “before” version feels like a distant memory and I guess that’s the whole point in changing your life. Real transformation requires you to become someone entirely new.

I wonder if the butterfly grieves the caterpillar version, or if it’s just so thankful for the beauty that came out on the other side.

I’m sure the butterfly is just thankful, grateful, and enjoying the change.

A kundalini awakening is often described this way.

Not as a simple spiritual insight, but as a total transformation of the mind, body, emotions, identity, and perception of reality itself and yes, it’s somewhat terrifying

Once on the other side, you’re good to go and the fear of death no longer scares you. You can no longer be manipulated by broken systems for you’ve essentially already died and have gone to heaven. I know. Deep. But that’s where you’re going to have to go if you’re ever going to make it in this world.

Deep.

Deep murky waters where you’re going to come face to face with all of the shit you likely brushed under the rug, or all the shit that other people passed onto you by not healing their own trauma.

And yes…

It sucks, but it’s so worth it in the end because we’re talking about heaven on earth kind of stuff. We’re talking about real happiness, inner peace, and joy and not the fluffy fake stuff you see plastered all over social media.

So here we go.

When you’re going through an awakening, you’re not sure what in the actual fuck is going on.

You’ll go to your doctor. You’ll do all the testing. You’ll try everything in order to figure out what’s happening to you. Hell, you’ll even resort to crystals, sage, and anything really in order to help you find some relief or some answers.

People will likely think you’re going crazy. Including yourself.

In the end, the only thing you can actually do is sit with yourself and let it all unfold and pray like fuck you’re going to make it out the other side alive.

This is where you may even pull out your bible, start going to church, start donating, and doing all the holy stuff you think you should do. But soon, you’ll realize that doesn’t work either for you’re still left with yourself and your own mind and thoughts when no one else is around.

You’ll sit there while your entire world collapses and falls apart and there you will be in the middle of the storm staring every fear you have in the face. You’ll sit there in the rubble and will be left to pick up all the pieces left over. You’ll likely still put a smile on your face even though you’re going through hell and you look like death is knocking at your door.

But in the end what you’re left with is something you’d never sell your soul for. You’re left with the real riches of life.

For some, a Kundalini awakening arrives gently through meditation, yoga, prayer, or years of spiritual practice. For others, it crashes into life unexpectedly through trauma, heartbreak, illness, loss, psychedelics or emotional collapse and no one can ever prepare you for it.

You know how it goes. Your heart keeps breaking over and over again and it’s there that the light enters.

That’s true.

But what begins as a search for healing, figuring out why this is happening or a deeper meaning can become a profound unraveling of everything you once believed to be solid.

But here’s the trap. So many people focus on the why it’s happening and begin diving deeper into learning about it, instead of doing the deeper inner work on themselves. Which is the whole entire point of this awakening process.

You Don’t Have to Do This Alone.

Many people who go through a kundalini awakening describe it as both the most beautiful and terrifying experience of their lives. I tend to agree with that. It will be exactly what you need.

In spiritual traditions originating in India, kundalini is often described as dormant life-force energy coiled at the base of the spine. When awakened, this energy is believed to rise through the body, moving through the chakras, the seven primary energy centers (which I will go into later) creating physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual transformation.

Whether viewed spiritually, psychologically, symbolically, or energetically, the kundalini process tends to share common themes: collapse, purification, ego death, expanded awareness, emotional intensity, and eventually a deeper sense of unity and inner truth.

But one of the most important things to understand is this:

A kundalini awakening is not always blissful. It can feel like dying before being reborn. Okay, let me just be completely honest here. A kundalini awakening is the absolute worst fucking thing you’ll probably ever go through. It’s fucking brutal.

I think that’s the only way I can describe it.

The Beginning: The Collapse

Most people do not seek awakening because life is comfortable. Often, kundalini awakens during periods of intense suffering. A relationship ends. A career falls apart. A loved one dies. Depression deepens. Anxiety becomes unbearable. The identity someone built their entire life around suddenly stops working and this stage is sometimes referred to as “the collapse.”

The structures of the old self begin to crack.
