00:00welcome to a journey unlike any other a journey not of the outer world but of the vast mysterious
00:07landscape within this is not just knowledge this is a power a force that lies dormant in every
00:14human being waiting to awaken this is the sacred path of kundalini have you ever wondered what if
00:22the body you see in the mirror is only a shadow of who you truly are what if beneath your flesh
00:28and bones lies a living current of divine energy coiled silently at the base of your spine this
00:35energy has been spoken of by sages yogis mystics and masters throughout time they called it kundalini
00:42kundalini is not imagination it is not metaphor it is real as real as your heartbeat as powerful as
00:50a lightning bolt as subtle as a breath and as transformative as fire in ancient teachings
00:56this energy is described as a serpent coiled three and a half times in the muladhara chakra
01:01at the base of the spine dormant asleep but not lifeless it waits watching silent until the seeker
01:11is ready ready to awaken it ready to travel beyond the limitations of the senses ready to rise but let
01:18us not be too quick to climb because this journey is not linear it is not easy it is not instant it is
01:25a lifelong discipline a surrender a purification of body mind and soul the human being is not just skin
01:34muscles and thoughts you are a complex energy structure existing within and beyond your physical frame
01:42you are a body yes but also a mind a soul and an energy field that interacts with the entire cosmos
01:52science has begun to explore this but ancient wisdom already knew our body contains subtle energy channels
01:59known as nadis over 72 000 nadis crisscross the body but three are central to the awakening of kundalini
02:06ida pingala and sushumna ida the left channel represents the lunar energy cool nurturing intuitive
02:16pingala the right channel symbolizes the solar energy warm active logical these two weave around the central
02:24channel sushumna which runs along the spine kundalini rises only through sushumna but sushumna awakens
02:32only when ida and pingala are in balance and balance my friend is the beginning of all spiritual evolution
02:39so how do you prepare the body for this awakening start with breath breath is life breath is energy
02:47breath is the bridge between the visible and invisible practice nadishodhan pranayama alternate
02:54nostril breathing this harmonizes ida and pingala bringing calm to the mind and clarity to the nervous system
03:03then pastrika bellows breath to build internal fire then kapalbati skull shining breath to cleanse and
03:11awaken these are not simply breathing techniques they are energetic keys that open hidden doors within
03:18your spine but breath alone is not enough your mind must be pure your emotions must be stable your
03:24intentions must be selfless because kundalini is not mechanical she is sacred she responds not to pressure
03:31but to devotion your emotional body stores years even lifetimes of pain desire anger lust pride and fear
03:39these emotions are not just passing moods they are energetic blockages and kundalini being a divine
03:46intelligence will not rise until her path is clear that is why the ancient path of yoga was not just about
03:52flexibility it was about purification do karma yoga serve without expectation practice bhakti surrender in
04:01love embrace jnana discern between the real and the unreal walk the path of raja yoga discipline of the
04:09mind these four paths are not separate they are the pillars of awakening now let us look at the chakras the
04:17wheels of energy that lie along the spine there are seven primary chakras each one governs not only a
04:23region of your body but a level of consciousness as kundalini rises she activates each chakra transforming
04:31your thoughts feelings and reality itself the first is the muladhara chakra the root it is the foundation
04:40located at the base of the spine it governs your survival instincts sense of safety and connection to earth
04:47when blocked you live in fear anxiety restlessness when awakened you feel grounded fearless stable next
04:57is the swadhisthana chakra the sacral located below the navel it is the seat of desire sensuality pleasure
05:05and creativity here kundalini awakens the emotional body but also tests your attachments if unbalanced it leads
05:13to obsession if awakened it births inspiration art and emotional flow then comes manipura the solar plexus
05:21at the navel this is the seat of power self-esteem and will here kundalini meets the ego and this is
05:29where many seekers stop because power is tempting ego says i have awakened but true awakening begins when the
05:38ego surrenders higher still is the anahata chakra the heart the bridge between the lower and upper worlds
05:46here love becomes unconditional compassion becomes natural you begin to feel the pain of others as your
05:53own and joy as a shared flame this is where the soul begins to speak next is vishudha the throat chakra
06:03here expression becomes sacred words carry power you begin to speak truth not opinion not noise but truth
06:10that liberates you realize that silence can say more than sound and then the ajna chakra the third eye
06:19located between the eyebrows when kundalini touches here vision changes not the outer vision but the inner
06:26knowing intuition opens you begin to see beyond form beyond illusion you begin to see what is and finally
06:35the sahasrara the crown located above the head the thousand petaled lotus the gate to the infinite here
06:43duality dissolves the seeker disappears only consciousness remains this is samadhi this is union
06:51this is freedom but you must remember kundalini is not just about reaching sahasrara it is about every
06:58step every breath every moment of the journey it is not a ladder it is a spiral a dance a fire that
07:06consumes all that is false so that only the real remains as kundalini rises through each chakra
07:13you don't just gain knowledge you undergo transformation your fears begin to melt your
07:19attachments loosen your desires evolve but this is not always gentle sometimes it is like fire
07:26sometimes like a storm and sometimes like a deep silence that shakes your very core
07:32many seekers ask how do i know kundalini is awakening within me there are signs not dramatic fireworks but
07:40subtle powerful changes in your inner and outer world you may feel a tingling at the base of your
07:45spine a sense of warmth rising upward sometimes spontaneous movements or sounds emerge during
07:52meditation your body may tremble or sway these are not mistakes they are kriyas automatic purifications
07:59triggered by the energy trying to move freely you might feel sudden surges of emotion crying without
08:05reason laughter in silence anger that rises and dissolves like mist this is the energy stirring the
08:12emotional body flushing out what no longer serves you dreams intensify symbols like snakes flames rivers
08:21or divine beings begin to appear you may hear internal sounds like bells chants or buzzing you may see
08:28lights or colors with your eyes closed these are not hallucinations they are glimpses into the subtle world
08:34now opening within you sometimes the body becomes hypersensitive light feels brighter sound feels deeper
08:42food tastes different time feels slower or faster these shifts in perception are signs that your
08:50consciousness is expanding but not every sign is blissful the awakening of kundalini can stir discomfort
08:57confusion or fear especially if your system is not prepared many seekers experience insomnia headaches
09:04digestive changes or unexplained fatigue some feel as if their body is burning from within
09:10others feel pressure in the forehead or at the top of the head these are signs of intense energy flow
09:16if this happens do not panic do not stop the journey but slow down breathe deeply ground yourself
09:26walk barefoot on the earth eat grounding foods connect with nature
09:31these help to balance the nervous system and calm the surge now let us speak about the ego this is
09:39one of the most dangerous traps in the kundalini path as you begin to experience energy visions
09:45clarity or unusual powers the ego may try to hijack the process it may whisper i am enlightened i am
09:53special i am above others but true awakening humbles you it burns the ego not feeds it the more kundalini
10:02rises the more empty you become the more you dissolve into the presence the less you identify with identity
10:09you may notice that you begin to detach not in a cold or distant way but with deep love you feel
10:15connected to all beings yet free of the need to control or cling you start acting not from reaction
10:22but from presence you speak less but with more power you begin to see the world not as separate
10:29but as one living being but this still does not mean the journey is over the awakening of kundalini
10:35is only the beginning now comes the integration can you carry that energy into daily life can you walk
10:42the grocery store aisles with the same awareness you have in deep meditation can you remain centered
10:48during a crisis compassionate during conflict humble in success this is the true test because spiritual
10:56experiences are easy transformation is hard you must cultivate discipline not rigidity but rhythm
11:04a sacred rhythm that aligns your life with your purpose wake up before sunrise this is brahma muhurta
11:12the hour of stillness where the veil between worlds is thin sit in silence begin with breath then mantra
11:20then stillness recite biha mantras for each chakra feel the sound enter the space visualize the lotus of
11:28each chakra unfolding lam for root vam for sacral ram for solar plexus yam for heart ham for throat om
11:38for third eye and then silence for the crown do not just chant feel the vibration let it move through
11:46your spine your blood your breath let the mantra become you after your practice write journal reflect what
11:54did you feel what shifted what needs healing this is not a performance this is a purification then carry
12:02this energy into your day when you speak speak with truth when you work work with presence when you eat
12:12eat with gratitude when you rest rest with surrender and slowly the walls between the spiritual and the
12:20ordinary begin to dissolve because every act becomes sacred when done with awareness now let us dive into
12:27a deeper layer of this journey the importance of purity kundalini is not a force you can manipulate
12:34it is not a power you can control by force or tricks it is a divine intelligence a sacred consciousness
12:41it will not rise in a vessel filled with impurity dishonesty or ego it waits patiently until you are truly ready
12:49purity is not about outer appearance it is an inner condition it is the purity of intention why are you
12:56walking this path is it to gain powers to impress others or is it to dissolve the self and merge with
13:03truth it is the purity of thought what do you dwell upon what stories do you tell yourself what emotions
13:11do you feed it is the purity of heart do you harbor hatred greed lust or revenge or have you begun to
13:19cultivate love compassion and humility every emotion you feel every desire you carry is stored in your
13:27energy field kundalini is like light it reveals all that is hidden that is why people often feel
13:34overwhelmed during awakening not because of kundalini itself but because it shines into corners we've never
13:40cleaned do not fear this process let it be your liberation let kundalini burn what is false let it
13:48dissolve what is outdated let it teach you what your mind could never understand there are ancient
13:54techniques to support this purification mula bandha contracting the perineum to pull energy upward udhyana
14:02bandha drawing the abdomen inward and upward to stimulate inner fire jalandara bandha tucking the chin to the
14:10chest to contain the upward current of energy when practiced together these bandhas create a container for
14:17energy to rise safely but remember these are not mechanical exercises they are sacred locks they should be practiced
14:25slowly patiently and only when the body is prepared alongside this the practice of silence known as mauna is deeply
14:33transformative in silence the noise of the world fades and the voice of the soul grows louder sit in silence not just with your mouth
14:43closed but with your thoughts observed watch them rise watch them fall you are not your thoughts you are the witness
14:50over time silence becomes your teacher it shows you who you are when you are not busy trying to be someone
14:57and in this silence kundalini stirs now let's speak of the role of the guru in the path of kundalini a true
15:05spiritual teacher is not optional the guru is not just a person the guru is a mirror a guide a transmitter
15:13of shakti the guru awakens not by giving you knowledge but by awakening the knowledge already
15:18within you a real guru does not make you dependent a real guru sets you free in some rare cases kundalini
15:26may awaken spontaneously this may happen due to intense suffering a near-death experience previous
15:33life's sadhana or divine grace but even in such cases the guidance of a living teacher helps stabilize
15:40and integrate the experience without guidance the energy may rise unevenly it may get stuck it may create
15:48confusion fear or ego inflation the guru helps you walk this razor's edge with balance grounding and
15:55surrender but remember while the guru may show the path you must walk it no one can do the inner work
16:02for you this journey is not about becoming someone new it is about remembering who you truly are you are
16:09not your name not your past not your body not your fears you are the presence that watches all of these
16:17you are the stillness beneath every breath you are the energy that flows through every heartbeat you are
16:22the consciousness that never sleeps and kundalini is the key that unlocks this realization as the journey
16:29deepens a profound realization dawns this path is not linear it is spiral at every stage of awakening
16:37you revisit old patterns but from a higher place what once felt like chaos now reveals wisdom what once felt
16:45like suffering now becomes initiation kundalini doesn't just rise once it rises in waves in spirals
16:52in cycles one day you may feel expanded filled with light and peace another day you may feel pulled
17:00into old emotions this does not mean you are going backward it means the energy is cleaning deeper layers
17:06of your being do not judge your progress by how you feel progress is not about feeling good all the time
17:14it is about becoming more real more awake more open to the present moment now let us talk about
17:21dreams and visions during this journey many seekers report vivid dreams sometimes they see snakes
17:28symbolizing kundalini sometimes they see divine beings shiva kali or radiant light forms sometimes they
17:36feel themselves flying drowning or passing through tunnels these dreams are not always literal they are messages
17:43from the subconscious reflections of your inner transformation do not become obsessed with
17:48interpreting every detail simply observe journal what you see notice the patterns trust that your
17:55consciousness is speaking to you in symbols in waking life you may also have moments of heightened
18:01synchronicity a word overheard a book that appears at the right time a stranger who says exactly what
18:08you needed to hear these are not coincidences they are signs that the universe is now communicating
18:14through resonance your energy attracts new experiences people teachers environments old friends may drift
18:22away new relationships may appear without warning you may feel called to solitude or to serve or to
18:29change your lifestyle completely trust this pull do not resist the inner intelligence that is guiding you
18:37now let us talk about grounding as kundalini rises some seekers become top heavy their awareness moves upward
18:45but they lose connection with the body with the earth with everyday life this is dangerous without grounding
18:52spiritual energy can become unstable it may lead to confusion arrogance or psychological strain to stay grounded
19:01walk barefoot on grass or soil spend time in nature daily eat grounding foods roots grains warm meals sleep on time
19:10and rest deeply stay connected to your responsibilities family and service grounding does not slow your progress
19:18it makes it sustainable and one more essential reminder do not chase powers yes as kundalini awakens you may
19:26develop heightened intuition you may sense people's emotions you may begin to feel energies in spaces some even
19:34develop telepathy prophetic dreams or healing abilities but these are side effects not the goal if you chase them
19:42you stop growing if you cling to them the ego returns siddhis or spiritual powers are like flowers on the path
19:52beautiful but temporary smell them appreciate them then keep walking the goal is not power the goal is
20:01liberation when kundalini reaches the sahasrara the crown chakra something irreversible happens
20:08you do not become someone new you dissolve into what you have always been all separateness fades there is
20:16no you awakening kundalini there is only the presence the watcher the infinite stillness this is not just a
20:25feeling it is a shift in identity you are no longer the body you are no longer the mind you are the space in
20:32which the body and mind appear this is freedom this is samadhi and yet even after samadhi life continues
20:40you return to the world but now everything has changed you chop wood and carry water but now it is
20:47sacred you speak to others but now your words carry silence you walk through the world but your heart
20:54rests in the infinite this is the final gift of kundalini not escape from life but complete presence
21:02in it now that you understand the profound nature of kundalini awakening let's bring this wisdom into
21:08daily life because true transformation is not about one powerful meditation it's about a consistent
21:15inner rhythm a lifestyle that honors energy stillness and sacred intention so how can you create a daily
21:22spiritual practice that aligns with the kundalini path let's begin with the morning routine the most
21:28potent time for spiritual practice is just before sunrise this time is called brahma muhurta the hour of
21:35creation the air is still the mind is quiet the veils between dimensions are thin wake up during this
21:43sacred hour before you check your phone or speak to anyone sit in stillness light a candle or incense if
21:50you like create an atmosphere that reminds your system this is sacred time sit with your spine straight
21:59gently close your eyes place your awareness at the base of your spine at the muladhara chakra begin
22:06with nadi shodhana alternate nostril breathing breathe in through the left nostril exhale through
22:12the right then inhale through the right and exhale through the left do this slowly and mindfully for
22:19five to ten minutes this balances ida and pingala the lunar and solar energies next move into kapalbhati rapid
22:28exhalations to energize the system then practice bastrika the bellows breath to ignite inner fire if you are
22:35advanced you can add bandhas energy locks that guide prana upwards now sit quietly bring your attention to
22:43a chakra perhaps ajna the third eye or back to muladhara where kundalini sleeps begin your mantra japa
22:51chanting seed sounds for each chakra lam for root vam for sacral ram for solar plexus yam for heart ham for
23:00throat om for third eye end in silence resting your mind in the space above the crown this entire process
23:08may take 30 to 60 minutes it may seem long but if you commit to it your entire day will be elevated
23:17now let's move to your daytime awareness how do you maintain spiritual energy when dealing with people
23:24work emotions and stress here is the answer live your life like a walking meditation when you speak
23:33pause reflect speak truthfully when you eat bless your food choose slowly eat with presence when you
23:41feel anger observe it breathe respond don't react when you work give your full attention to what you are
23:49doing let every task become an offering this is karma yoga the path of action with awareness it purifies
23:57the ego it humbles the mind it invites kundalini to flow even through daily life now let's speak about
24:04food the food you eat becomes your energy heavy stale processed foods cloud your system they make the body
24:12sluggish and the mind restless favor sattvic food fresh fruits vegetables nuts seeds
24:19whole grains and clean water avoid overeating eat only when you're truly hungry and eat in silence
24:27when you can also consider celibacy or controlled sensuality the energy that fuels desire is the same
24:34energy that rises as kundalini when conserved and redirected it transforms into spiritual power
24:41this doesn't mean repression it means conscious channeling respect your body honor its sacred energy
24:48energy now let's address one of the most overlooked aspects emotional hygiene your emotions are also
24:54energy if you carry resentment jealousy or grief it affects your chakras these must be felt acknowledged
25:00and released try this each night before bed reflect what emotions did i feel today what did i hold on to
25:09who do i need to forgive what parts of myself need love write it down speak to the divine surrender it all
25:18this simple act prevents energy blocks and clears space for awakening and finally sleep your body
25:25regenerates during sleep but your consciousness also travels many seekers receive guidance insight or energy
25:32downloads during dreams so before bed meditate for a few minutes chant om slowly place your attention on
25:41your heart or third eye then sleep in surrender tell your inner self i am ready guide me heal me awaken me
25:50kundalini listens always let us now conclude this sacred journey with the deeper spiritual essence behind
25:57kundalini you see kundalini is not just energy it is shakti the divine feminine principle of the cosmos the power
26:06that creates sustains and transforms the universe shakti is not a myth it is not a belief it is the
26:13conscious life force behind everything you see feel and experience it is the rhythm of your heartbeat the
26:19warmth of your breath the spark in your eyes the intuition in your silence when kundalini awakens it is
26:26shakti waking up in the microcosm of your body to reunite with shiva the formless consciousness at the crown
26:33this union is not symbolic it is experiential it is the sacred marriage of energy and awareness of matter
26:41and spirit of movement and stillness and in that union the illusion of separation dies you realize that
26:49all your life you were never the doer the one you called i was only a bundle of thoughts habits and
26:55memories behind it there was always something still silent and eternal that silent witness is your true
27:04nature the goal of the kundalini path is not to become supernatural it is to become natural again
27:11to return to your original state the state before fear before ego before conditioning the state of pure
27:19being so what happens after kundalini completes her ascent what happens after the seeker reaches the
27:26crown something very quiet and very beautiful there is no more seeking no more striving no more chasing
27:34of experiences there is only presence you begin to live from your center from your heart from the
27:42stillness beneath all noise and life becomes sacred you don't need to leave the world you don't need to
27:49become a monk or hide in a cave you simply begin to live in alignment with truth with love with awareness
27:57your words carry peace your eyes reflect compassion your presence becomes healing this is the highest form
28:04of awakening not just individual liberation but becoming a channel for others to awaken as well
28:11you are no longer a seeker you become the path itself so now the question is are you ready not ready to
28:19chase experiences but ready to let go not ready to control the energy but ready to surrender to it not
28:27ready to perform spirituality but ready to become it if your answer is yes then you don't need to wait
28:33you can begin today right now with a breath with a prayer with a whisper from your soul to the divine
28:42i am ready use me guide me transform me and then watch watch how life itself becomes your teacher how
28:52every moment becomes a doorway how every breath becomes a mantra and how the energy within you which once
28:58slept in silence rises like a sacred fire to awaken the god within this is kundalini this is the journey
29:05the journey of your own divine becoming and it is only the beginning
29:15you
