The Kundalini Experience

Kundalini Awakening Signs

To help people identify that what they were feeling and experiencing were actually signs of Kundalini Awakening and not symptoms of a mental or medical condition, I created a list of Kundalini Awakening Symptoms for them to use as a reference.  These symptoms were from my own experience with Kundalini Rising, and were certainly not comprehensive.

Kundalini is a very mysterious process and its awakening and rising tends to always have some unique and personal aspects.  Of course there are many common signs, but if you read the hundreds of comments in that article thread, you will notice there are various different ways that people experience kundalini.   These varied experiences then gives us more insight into the nature and secrets of kundalini and how she works.

Meditation Benefits

Benefits of Meditation

You were born to meditate.  I cannot impress enough upon you how important meditation is, if you wish to live a meaningful and fulfilling life.  By meditation here I don’t mean just the formal time you spend devoted to this practice, but I mean the constant vigilance and witnessing of the mind and emotions, that a true meditation practice demands. 

This dedication to a meditative life will bring you riches far beyond any that the material world can offer.  This treasure is available to you, if you are willing to embrace a life long meditation practice.  But along with such unworldly blessings, there are also many tangible benefits of meditation.  These benefits include health and other everyday benefits, and are being constantly validated by scientists in the field today.

Suffering in Life

Freedom from Suffering

Life on earth is the perfect University for Enlightenment (read The Magical Gate to the Best School for Enlightenment), and to help us realize the perfection of the moment and our perfect, divine nature, life often has to use pain and suffering as a tool.  This is simply because it is so easy to go through life on autopilot, asleep to the reality of the moment, that pain is needed to wake us up.  Even those who have great passion for the Truth, are sometimes in need of shock therapy to bring them back on the path when they stray.
