Why Kundalini Can Be The Bridge To Your True Self

Kundalini. It’s not just another spiritual term or buzzword.

It’s the fiery bridge between you and, well, the Real You. The You beyond all those thoughts, worries, and 9-to-5 routines, the You free from worldly shackles. The one truly connected with the universe. The You that’s one with everything.

Let’s break it down.

Kundalini: The Great Awakener

Every morning, I take a deep, grounding breath before stepping into my yoga practice.

As Kundalini ascends, it’s like a deep cleanse for the soul. Imagine your body is a dusty old mansion. Kundalini? It’s the housekeeper.

As it rises, it sweeps away all the cobwebs and illuminates every dark corner. But instead of old memories, it’s dispelling our psychic blockages. After my first awakening on that fateful October evening a few years ago, Kundalini became a frequent visitor. Not just in deep meditation, but in the most unexpected moments.

One night, while simply preparing for bed, it struck. Out of nowhere, a powerful sensation began its ascent from the base of my spine. And just as it crescendoed, everything clarified — a state of non-dual clarity enveloped me.

Kundalini wasn’t a fleeting feeling; it repeatedly became a transformative guide, unveiling profound truths each time.

Your Self: The Essence of You

The Self isn’t just another term for ego. It’s far more.

It’s the core, the essence, the universe within you. I’ve often written about the time when I had a sudden enlightenment watching TV. It wasn’t just a profound insight. It was a rendezvous with the Self, my timeless identity. After that first awakening, through kundalini experiences, I’ve unraveled layers of my being, revealing the boundless universe inside.

Now, think about that vast universe. The Self. All-knowing, all-present…

…and Kundalini can be the vehicle that gets you there.
