Integral healing: understanding the flow of kundalini energy

[Julie Bolduc]

I think at this point, it has become of real importance to connect the dots and try to have a better understanding of:

• what seems to be happening to us on a personal level
• how this seems to be connected with what is happening on the global scale
• how we can ease our way through those transformations

So far, I have talked a lot about the cosmic movements.  I have also talked about the awakening of the Earth’s kundalini energy that is bringing a Global energy shift on Earth.

Our planet has chakras (energy centers), just like our human bodies have chakras.

As mentioned by Lisa Erickson in one of her excellent blog posts, «chakras are simply energy vortexes or intersection points, which we know exist in some form in virtually every structural and energetic system. Think joints in the skeletel system, or glands in the endocrine/hormonal system. Electromagnetic research is starting to be able to detect these intersections – in both humans and the planet.»

You can also think «about chakras as doorways for awareness. [...] Like human chakras, earth chakras can be damaged or blocked. Many contemporary seers and intuitives feel this is what is happening now.  [...]  The earth sustains us on many levels. And like the doorway to Avalon, certain doorways of awareness may close off to humans forever if we don’t work to heal the damage that has been done.» (http://mommymystic.wordpress.com/2009/05/26/planet-earths-chakras/)

The way I see it, all the unusual recent cosmic activity is connected to the movement of the Rainbow Serpent on Earth – as above, so below.

As Gaia’s kundalini energy is awakening, we are all forced through this awakening process with Her.  We are bound to Earth.  We were born from Earth.  We have no other option but to experience physically and emotionally what is happening to our planet.

Therefore, in order to learn to ease our experience of this global kundalini rising, it becomes important to start understanding how energy flows through us.

What is kundalini energy?

This energy flow, called kundalini energy, is represented as a «serpent goddess who lies asleep coiled three and a half times around the first chakra.  She represents the unfolding of the divine Shakti energy (Divine Feminine), the energizing potential of life itself, a living goddess who enlivens all things.

Kundalini is a condensed, primal force, similar to the potential energy found in water. When released, it creates a connection between the chakras by opening subtle channels. If we put water through a small hose at very high pressure, the end of the hose will undulate like a snake. Similarly, the intense energy of Kundalini undulates as it rises through the chakras.

Kundalini can also be seen as a result of the chakras connecting to each other. Theoretically, as the chakras enlarge, the spinning of one can enhance the spinning of the one above or below it. (Resources: Eastern Body Western Mind, Anodea Judith, Ph.D.)

Personal healing and the awakening of kundalini energy

Kundalini is basically a healing force, but its effects can sometimes be quite unpleasant. Such effects may last for minutes, days, months, or even years.

Kundalini was a dormant energy within most people but it looks like the world is experiencing a global awakening.

«Circumstances that stimulate Kundalini awakening are many and varied, but are usually triggered by such things as extended periods of meditation, yoga, fasting, stress, trauma, psychedelic drugs, or near death experiences.

Under certain circumstances, the Kundalini energy awakens and begins to rise through the body, piercing and opening the chakras as she moves in her undulating, snake-like fashion. As Kundalini releases stored and blocked energies, her movement can be quite intense, sometimes painful, and often leads to mental states that seem out of this world.» (Resources: Eastern Body Western Mind, Anodea Judith, Ph.D.)

Releasing the pain to let the Sun shine

As mentioned by Joseph L. Willenbrink on his website, «the key to health, happiness, growth, self-improvement and realizing your full potential comes from understanding energy flows [and] how to clear energetic blockages so that energy will flow from your perineum to the top of your head.»

Willenbrink explains that «there is a common misconception that chakras map to our bodies in some geographical way; that all chest pains are heart chakra problems, headaches are third eye problems, and so on. This is not the case. In fact, the root chakra is the chakra of the physical body, and therefore ALL physical ailments – from sprained toes to migraine headaches – are root chakra problems by definition.

Emotional problems have a second chakra component (and a root chakra component). Mental problems have a solar plexus chakra component (and a root chakra component). By the time we reach the heart chakra, our issues become more of compassion, spirituality and transcendence, and beyond the scope of “not being sick anymore”.» (http://www.purewhitelight.com/chakras.htm)

 

Knowing this, and knowing that the Earth’s second chakra - the center of emotions, of sexual energy and of creativity – is associated with the sign of Cancer, and that we are right in the middle of the Cancer Moon cycle, should we be so surprised to be in such emotional pain, and to see all of our deepest issues triggered?  it feels to me like the Rainbow Serpent travelling around the Earth might have just hit Gaia’s second chakra.

Because we are bound to Earth by nature, one of the key elements to ease our experience of kundalini rising is to ground ourselves, to work on the opening of our root chakra by reconnecting with the natural elements, and a natural lifestyle as much as possible:

1. Purify the body. Abstain from recreational drugs, tobacco, alcohol, and caffein, prescription drugs.  Avoid food additives, high sugars, or greasy foods. Eat well, especially protein which is generally grounding. Get massage and vigorous exercise.
2. Reduce stress. If you are in for a major spiritual transformation, make time for the necessary changes in your life. You may need to devote more time to your spirituality or health.
3. Find Support. Find others who have knowledge of this experience.
4. Educate yourself. Read about Kundalini, Kundalini awakening,Yoga and learn about Chakras.
5. Treat underlying psychological issues. As Kundalini brings up unresolved issues, this is the best time to deal with them. It will make the ride smoother.
6. Examine your spiritual practices. If you have not been practicing meditation, yoga or some spiritual practice, it may be time to begin. You might need to stop meditating for a while if it increases unpleasant Kundalini awakening symptoms.  See what increases or decreases the unpleasant effects.
7. Practice grounding. Kundalini is most difficult when the energy is moving upward without enough energy moving downward to balance. Investigate the possibility of the first chakra issues that need to be resolved in order to give a firmer base. Practice grounding exercise daily.

When was the last time you allowed yourself to be fully embraced by nature?

Thanks you SohiniBen.

Do you have more information about our Mother  Earth's chakras?  I wrote out of my own understanding and interpretation of the information I had at the time, but I would like to learn more.

 

Love and Light,
