ACCESSING YOUR INTUITION
Kundalini Awakening... ...continued from page 59
couraged me to explore spirituality as a tool for understanding myself and helping others, as Kundalini energy ultimately guides one to ex- pand beyond self-imposed limitations. However, the path of Kundalini Awakening is not without challeng- es. The awakening process can bring intense periods of discomfort and emotional upheaval. As I experienced, people may feel isolated, as though they’re “on their own” in this journey. Some may encoun - ter feelings of darkness or see challenging aspects of themselves, a reminder of the inner work that often accompanies spiritual awaken- ing. This process can evoke fears, and some people may even question their mental health due to the vividness of the experience. Gopi Krishna highlighted both the mystical highs and daunting lows that come with the journey, writing, “Little did I realize that from that day onwards I was never to be my old normal self again, that I had unwittingly and without preparation or even adequate knowledge of it roused to activity the most wonderful and stern power in man, that I had stepped unknowingly upon the key to the most guarded secret of the ancients, and that thenceforth for a long time I had to live sus- pended by a thread, swinging between life on the one hand and death on the other, between sanity and insanity, between light and darkness, between heaven and earth.” The journey can be especially hard in societies where discussions around such experiences are limited. For me, navigating this transfor- mation in my teenage years meant seeking answers without the wealth of resources available today, ultimately leaving me to find peace in spiritual and religious practices. These practices helped me integrate the awakening into my daily life.

These can be intense, even uncom- fortable, as they represent a powerful energy release. • Sensory changes: Heightened perception may emerge, such as seeing auras, feeling others’ energies, or perceiving subtle shifts in the environment. • Emotional turbulence: Feelings of euphoria can quickly give way to confusion or distress. Old traumas and emotional blocks may surface, sometimes without warning, as the ener- gy clears internal blockages. • Spiritual insights: Many experience a profound sense of interconnectedness, leading to a deeper understanding of life, relationships, and self-purpose. While many of these sensations are unique to each person, they of- ten resonate universally among those who’ve gone through a Kundali - ni Awakening. I, for example, found myself sensing energies around others, sometimes feeling overwhelmed by their emotions, which left me feeling isolated yet spiritually enriched. Overall, the purpose of Kundalini Awakening is often understood as spiritual evolution. It’s a way of clearing out stagnant energy and awakening to a higher state of consciousness, which allows people to transcend old beliefs and traumas and gain a more profound sense of self and purpose. In my case, the experience brought healing abilities and deep empathy, albeit initially overwhelming. The awakening en-
