Shakti means power. It is the strength that we all have to do the impossible. We will now discuss about a very lesser known form of Shakti called the Kundalini Shakti and how to awaken Kundalini Shakti. This Shakti or power is present in our body itself. It is an energy that can be located at the end of the spine in a triangle shaped bone called the sacrum. The coil is about three and a half in number, making it look like a serpent. This is also why it is called the serpent power in English language.

This is a good preview about the Kundalini Shakti. However, you must know that all power on earth can either be good or bad so is the case with Kundalini Shakti. This power is mostly dormant and common man is not aware of the same. With deep meditation and severe yoga this power can be awaken. Once this power is awaken you must know how to ensure that the power is utilized well. This is why it becomes more important to understand this power. Any power no matter how strong is it must be used well.

It is interesting that a force so strong is present within our body but it most of the time lies dormant until someone or something wakes it up. Many gurus and saints had different version about this power. Some belive that it is a power that is generated by our soul and connects it to the universal power stream known as the Parmatma. Some say it is an evil power and should remain dormant as not all can handle this power well.

Awakening the Kundalini Shakti is the first step in meditation. Only when you are able to awaken this power completely you will be connecting your Atma to the Parmatma (the supreme body of power and strength). Doing this will give you moksha and set you free on a spiritual journey.  Kundalini Shakti can be woken up either by active or passive methods. Well by active what we mean is that one has to severe yoga and meditation. However, one must do it in consultation with a well educated Guru. That means by his own action and by doing something himself he or she can experience Kundalini Shakti. When we say about passive way, in this the person can experience Kundalini Shakti through a Guru. They will have to surrender completely to the Guru and the Guru with his knowledge will give them a feel of Kundalini Shakti which is temporary in nature. This will just give them a brief idea about the whole process and help them to prepare better. Once the disciple is convinced that he can accomplish the same he can decide to do it or not do it.

The hatha yoga is one method by which one can experience Kundalini Shakti. It mentions mula bandhan, jalandhara bandhan and kumbhaka that can awaken the Kundalini. Shaktipat is also a very common method that can be used to awaken the Kundalini. However, it clearly states that if you are not doing the Shaktipat without a Guru then you will not be able to attain the desired results. Some Hindu philosophers belive that you can experience the Kundalini awakening either when you are prepared or nor prepared for it. Preparedness is well when you are doing certain yoga and meditation to ensure that you attain the awakening of the Kundalini. However, unpreparedness is when you don’t do anything to awaken Kundalini Shakti but it just happens automatically. This can happen after you have met with a fatal accident or felt a near to death experience. Even a very powerful personal experience like childbirth or a mental trauma can make you experience the same. When a sudden awakening of Kundalini Shakti happens then it might have quite a few negative effects on the person who is realising it. These symptoms are called Kundalini awakening symptoms. They mostly happen as during the awakening of Kundalini we often experience a state of high energy within our body. This energy must be let out of the body. If we are not able to let out this tremendous energy then we will definitely feel a lot of physical and mental discomfort. Someone of us don’t even realise why they are behaving strangely especially after a near to death experience or fatal accident. Well this is because very few of us actually know about Kundalini Shakti. Now that you have a certain idea about the concept and you do understand why people may experience the same even when they are not prepared for it. This will help you to understand the state of a near and dear one in the family when they behave differently after a fatal accident or any other personal trauma. This is exactly what we are trying to achieve from this article.

The concept of Kundalini was always very significantly associated to ancient yoga. Many yoga Gurus have been educating their disciples on this for a long time. However, the western world and the scientists have never really considered it of much importance. In the recent few years they have finally started to accept that there must a concept like this that we are not aware of. There is a force within our body that can make huge change in our body both physically and mentally.

I hope this article did help you to understand how to awaken Kundalini Shakti? The concept is indeed interesting and full of mysteries. Well I guess very soon you will awaken your very own Kundalini Shakti and try to use it in a positive direction. It is a dormant force that must be appreciated and one should be aware of the same. Especially, when they experience it unknowingly and don’t know how to react to it. This is absolutely normal and the force is a commonly experienced energy that many people from across the world have experienced.
