Kundalini Meditation

Awaken the Energy Inside

Kundalini in Sanskrit means 'coiled like a serpent' and Kundalini meditation aims to awaken the coiled energy within each of us. Also known as Raj Yog meaning Royal Yoga, Kundalini meditation focuses on releasing the untapped life force (Prana) at the base of the spine.

Kundalini often involves a series of fluid yoga poses, breathing exercises and relaxation techniques. These work together to unlock the amazing physical and spiritual energy that exists within each of us.

But some Kundalini meditation techniques can be complicated - and difficult to learn. So I've put together a easier 6 step method you can do....

Kundalini Meditation in 6 Steps

Like all other types of meditation, Kundalini meditation can be broken down into simple steps. For the Kundalini meditation to be completely effective, practice it in a quiet spot away from any kind of disturbances.

1. First you need to understand Kundalini energy and how it benefits your body. This awareness is important since helps you carry out the meditation effectively.

You'll need to get ready to allow the Kundalini energy to complete its course in your body. Why? During Kundalini meditation, there will be an abrupt burst of a healing and spiritual energy - and you need to receive it with complete preparation.

2. Next you get into a good meditation posture. Classically this means the lotus position - that's a cross-legged posture. It's said to be ideal for Kundalini meditation. But it's not essential. Read meditation posture - 3 Reasons Why You Should Sit Upright to find out what is essential.


3. Next close your eyes and position one of your fingers over your left nostril. This is done to obstruct it, so you breathe in only through the right nostril. Now inhale deeply though your right nostril, hold your breath and feel the life force running through your body. Release your breath and repeat the process with your left nostril.


4. Now visualize strongly that the Kundalini energy is stimulating the chakra which is positioned at the bottom of your spine. All through the process continue breathing with alternate nostrils (first right, then left).


5. Visualize a stream of white dazzling light flowing out from your crown chakra (top of skull) and down into your heart (God) center. Next visualize a white dazzling light exploding from your root chakra (base of spine) and flowing up into your heart chakra. Visualize the burst of energy from your root and crown chakra, filling up your heart chakra.


6. Experience the magnificence of this energy. Feel the power rippling inside you. Experience the joy of divine energy filling your heart, mind and soul.

Now that you are done with all the steps of Kundalini meditation, relax and sit quietly for some time. It is important to fully immerse yourself in the moment and to let your body experience the joy of divine light that is flowing inside you as a result of Kundalini meditation.

This is a relatively easy meditation technique for Kundalini meditation and with practice; you can become an expert in this. This procedure of Kundalini meditation has to be carried out many times before you can master the technique.

Each time you perform Kundalini meditation, think about the life force passing through your body and stimulating the various chakras that are located in your body. Experience the power, the sudden burst of energy flowing inside you.
