KUNDALINI
By Mariah Prosper
Kundalini is a Sanskrit term that means “coiled up” . It is
‘Prana’, it is ‘Life Force’, and we all have
the ability to awaken this “snake” that lies dormant at the
base of our spine. It becomes activated by Spiritual disciplines such
as yoga, tai chi, martial arts; it can also be awakened by initiations
such as Reiki and other healing techniques, religious, or puberty; it
can also be awakened by traumatic experiences and even sexual
experiences. However, it becomes active , it is a necessary awakening
for one to reach spiritual enlightenment.
Kundalini is a fire energy that opens up our root chakra and is
channel up the spine, opening and clearing chakras, meridians, nadis,
etc. as it pushes it way up to the crown for our connection to the
creative force of the Universe. As the energy is flowing up, it
connects with its ‘higher self’ in our pituitary, opening
up the psychic channels and abilities to ‘connect’. All
that we are, our genetics, our codes of DNA, everything that makes us ,
Us, is determined by our pituitary gland. Our true Kundalini lies
dormant, there, in our brain, sleeping until we are ready for the
truths of the universe.
When one is initiated into Adama StarFire Reikitm, the energy is
channeled into the pineal gland (connection to God/dess) and connected
into the pituitary gland. From this point of initiation, the energy
begins to connect the “as above” to the “so
below” (Heaven to Earth realities). The Spirit is united with the
Soul and a journey of the kundalini begins as the energy of Spirit
comes down from the pituitary (heaven) and enters the body (soul-earth)
The StarFire energy is like Mana from heaven and causes the Kundalini
in the brain to immediately open upon initiation. The more one channels
the energy, the faster one cleans up their blocks in their electrical
system which connects all parts of our body to our source of energy.
Imagine our body is like the house we live in. Our chakras are the
electrical outlets that allow us to ‘plug into’ to receive
electricity to our appliances that we use. The wires that connect those
outlets represent our neural pathways, meridians, and nadis. They in
turn connect to the power supply
that makes the electrical currents flow throughout our house. When our
house was brand new, all the electrical pathways were clear, all the
outlets worked. This is how we are when we are born. As we grow , our
chakras begin to close due to religious and societal structures
presented to us by our parents and peers. Without any maintenance
(awareness), our chakras become out of balance and so does our
spiritual, physical, emotional and mental processes . Our electrical
system develops blocks, and our ‘house’ begins to suffer
and ‘fall’. This is the “fall of ignorance”,
the fall of Adam and Eve.
Back to our discussion of Kundalini. As we are initiated, the
kundalini flows until it hits one of these blocks. Heat is experienced
as the energy is flowing, but discomfort or pain may be experienced at
the block. Until the block is released, the discomfort will persist or
become unbearable. As I and others have experienced this, especially
with the StarFire energy, it could be relieved with massage, yogic
breathing, exercise, alphabiotics and other forms of release. But until
the issue was resolved, the kundalini, when flowing, persisted at that
spot, until it was free to flow on. Sometimes, I would be channeling
the StarFire energy for hours at a time, and a pain would be felt,
especially at the neck and shoulders, due to excess energy that would
build up around an old memory of a block.
Keep in mind, kundalini does not flow all the time, else, we would
burn up. Just as you would turn the lights off when the house goes to
rest, so do we ‘turn off’ to let the body rest. When I
first began to channel the StarFire energy, it flowed 24 hours a day
for several months. I drank a large quantity of water and
‘Gatorade’ during this time. It was severely uncomfortable
to me to be full of fire all the time. I didn’t sleep much and
could not stay still. It seemed as though I could not turn off. I
wasn’t sure if this was a healthy thing. I felt great, full of
energy and full of life force. I utilized this time for most of my
research as to what was happening to me. I was so open to Cosmic
Intelligence, that much of the information came as I wrote in my journal. Kundalini experiences open channels to higher intelligences and truths for anyone that has them.
If you have been initiated into any forms of Reiki, Huna, Yoga, and
other ‘Life Force’ and healing disciplines, you have had a
kundalini experience of some sort. Do you remember what it was like?
How did it feel? How long did it last? What was your end results of
this experience? If you kept up with the practices, then you are
probably still experiencing the kundalini. If not, then , probably the
experiences stopped and life has returned to ‘normal’.
Besides awakening the life force within and the re-opening and
clearing of our chakras; the kundalini serves us another purpose, which
is spiritual awakening. You may be thinking, “well, I can get
that from church and spiritual gatherings”. I don’t know,
can you? My experience with church was to sit on a bench listening to
someone tell me how sinful I am; how I am going to hell; how my life
was doomed, etc. At spiritual gatherings, I learned who was doing what
to whom; who had the most highest of connections to the gods; and how
does one join up and ‘belong’. There was certainly no
kundalini experience there. I did have a spiritual awakening that made
me feel like I did not belong there.
Spiritual awakening to me is awakening consciousness; the
experience of becoming aware. The Ancient Egyptians lived in a state of
‘becoming’, a constant life of new beginning. This happens
when there is only new karma to create. The old karma has been cleared
and each day is a new tomorrow. There were no yesterdays to constantly
‘recreate’ to clear bad karma. Yesterday was a lesson
learned--dharma. Spiritual awakening is beginning of the path;
awakening consciousness to awareness is the path; and enlightenment and
ascension is the end of the path, But, does it really end. The
Egyptians believed in life after death and death after life, the
meaning of their symbol, the Ankh. This is the state of Becoming. The
conscious awareness of God-the creator. The Adama StarFire Reiki tm
energy causes this to happen in this lifetime--if one desires it. No
more lifetimes of learning how to ‘fix it’, or repeating
the same cycles over and over until the soul ‘gets it’.
Some are not prepared or willing for enlightenment to happen in this
life, some are.
Initiation into the Adama StarFire Reiki ™ energy also causes
a Soul awakening; the awareness of the consciousness of the soul. Our
Soul then becomes truly aware of its relationship with our Spirit and
its connection to the Spirit of God. Spirit is pure and unblemished,
but it is the Soul that is on the path to enlightenment. When the fall
from ‘God’ happened at the beginning of creation, the soul
came into existence because of the separation. The Soul suffers the
separation, not the Spirit. Kundalini rises within the body to educate
the Soul, to make it aware of ‘why’ we are here to begin
with. Spirit resides within our pituitary gland, Soul resides within
our root chakra at the base of our spine; our tree of life. When the
two shall meet, awareness happens. When the two become one,
enlightenment and then ascension happens. We become at-one-ment with
ourself...., with God. Even though the energy happens on a psychic
level, hormonal and genetic changes take place in the physical. As the
kundalini snake energy flows up and down our spine, the nerves
connected to the chakra centers take the energy throughout the body,
thus enabling the kundalini to release blocks, memories, and lifetimes
of the soul’s journey to freedom from our cells. Our cells are storage
houses for the memories of all that exist in creation. Therefore,
memories of past lives come to the surface and after a time, so do the
memories of God come to the surface.
Kundalini can take a person so far out ‘there’, that
hallucinations of the unexplainable occur. These are not
hallucinations, they really do exist somewhere in the universal
collective memory archives (akasha). Perceptions of dimensions, space,
other beings, other worlds, other gods may perhaps become a part of
one’s reality. This could be harmful to one’s current
reality if they are not able to determine which is which. All of it is
just as real as the trees in the yard. Or should I say that the trees
in the yard are just as much an hallucination as the little blue people
. To realize that all exists, yet it does not exist is a valid concept
of certain religious philosophies. No thing is real, it is the
imagination (image nation) in the mind of God. After all, we are as
real to God, as God is real to us. Faith is real, after that , it is
the way we believe it to be; and everything changes. Think about it.
THE EFFECTS OF KUNDALINI RISING
When some people that follow a spiritual path, and even those that
don’t, find themselves experiencing levels of awareness or energy
transformation, they are unable to find reference as to what is
happening to them. In this state, the person may feel highly vulnerable
and oversensitive to incoming stimuli. Typically they feel overwhelmed,
fragmented, fearful, confused and disorientated. Some may become so
absorbed into inner processes, that they may not be able to look after
themselves.
While the awakening Kundalini may be a subtle or dramatic
experience, the resulting shift in consciousness may be accompanied by
years of physical and psychological upheavals. The process of Kundalini
awakening varies from person to person. Some have intense physical
symptoms, while others experience mainly emotional or psychological
symptoms. It is as if the new energy invites a cleansing throughout the
entire system, with unresolved physical or emotional conditions coming
to the surface for release and resolution. The life transforming
changes that accompany a Kundalini awakening expand the entire
physiological, emotional, mental and spiritual spectrum. Initiation
into Adama StarFire Reikitm increases the levels of these changes plus
clears the soul on its levels; a very intense clearing indeed.
A psychologist , Greenwell noted seven categories of symptoms which
have been observed through his clients during Kundalini awakening.
PRANIC MOVEMENTS OR KRIYAS
Prana is the Hindu word for vital energy. Thus as intense energy
moves throughout the body, clearing out physiological blocks, a person
may experience intense involuntary, jerking movements of the body,
including shaking, vibrations, spasm and contraction. As deeply held
armoring and blockages to the smooth flow of energy are released, the
person may re-access memories and emotions associated with past trauma
and injury. These memories are stored in the cells of this lifetime and
in our genetic structure of other lifetimes.
YOGIC PHENOMENA
Some find themselves performing yogic postures or hand mudra
gestures which they have never learned or could not do in a normal
state of consciousness. Similarly, they may produce Sanskrit words or
sounds, or have an awareness of inner music
or sound, mantras or tones. Unusual breathing patterns may appear with
either very rapid or slow, shallow breathing. Some people may not
breathe at all for extended periods.
PHYSIOLOGICAL SYMPTOMS
A Kundalini awakening often generates unusual physiological
activity as intense movement of energy releases toxins in the body.
Symptoms include apparent heart problems, pains in head and spine,
gastrointestinal disturbances and nervous problems. Internal sensations
have been reported as sensations of burning, oversensitivity to sensory
input, hyperactivity or lethargy, great variations in sexual desire and
even spontaneous orgasm. Symptoms can be erratic, coming and going
without provocation, but are generally unresponsive to medical
treatment.
PSYCHOLOGICAL UPHEAVAL
Spiritual awakening offers a direct challenge to the primacy of ego
consciousness and the myth of separation. It brings with it a challenge
to move beyond the unconscious responses ruled by drives and instincts
and remove ego consciousness from the center stage of the psyche. It
comes as no surprise that such a challenge produces a period of
confusion and unbalance. People find themselves beset by inexplicable
emotional states as they move to clear out unresolved issues. The
emotional roller coaster may swing from feelings of anxiety, guilt and
depression, through to compassion, love and joy, with accompanying
bouts of uncontrollable weeping.
EXTRA SENSORY EXPERIENCES
As perception expands outside of consensus reality, people
experience atypical visual phenomena, including visions of lights,
symbols, entities, or review of past life experiences. Auditory input
may include hearing voices, music, inner sounds or mantras. Even the
olfactory system may be stimulated with perception of scents of
sandalwood, rose, or incense. There may also be disruption of the
proprioceptive system, with losing a sense of self as a body, or
feeling bigger than the body, or out of the body, with the resulting
confusion and disorientation.
PSYCHIC PHENOMENA
With the opening up a psychic abilities, a person may experience
precognition, telepathy, psychokinesis, awareness of auras and healing
abilities.
MYSTICAL STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS
A person may shift into altered states of consciousness where they
directly perceive the unity underlying the world of separation and
experience a deep peace and serenity with a profound knowing of wisdom.
I want to add here that many people that do not understand what is
happening to them, seeking medical help. Unfortunately, those who are
truly having a Kundalini experience are prescribed drugs for psychosis,
mania, depression, schizophrenia or borderline personality disorder.
Being treated with suppressive medication further complicates their
process, and some never recover.
The Kundalini process involves a redefinition and reintegration of
self. It is as though the old person dies and a new one emerges. This
could be good or bad. Some people are influenced by family or friends
who suppress the transformation, insisting that the person conform to
society, the church, or accepted ways. Without an openness for change,
this conformity to others ideas may result in mental confusion that
could lead to a breakdown.
