Part 38: Don’t Make Kundalini Awakening Your Whole Personality. Integrate and Move On!
Just because you’ve had a Kundalini awakening doesn’t mean it should become your entire personality's central theme.
Eventually, you want to get to a point where the awakening is so integrated and a seamless part of who you are that you no longer need to talk or even think about it unless it’s absolutely necessary.
I get it, this process is so mind-blowing, incredible, challenging, and far out. I’ve been fascinated, attached, and overly obsessive about it myself.
But as the years have gone by, it’s become more and more normal to me. This is a good thing. It makes me feel less crazy, more relatable to others, and allows me to actually enjoy the benefits of it without overthinking it.
I did for a period, because I was in the midst of some of its most difficult and mystical parts. But as all that settled, I realized I need to just integrate this transformation into Brent, the normal guy, and get on with my life, without openly talking about my Kundalini process with people who don’t know about it or don’t care about it.
Now, if you are in the thick of the process, this message isn’t directed at you. It’s something to keep in mind for the future. I’m minimizing Kundalini in this talk for those who are on the brink of reaching a point of stability but are being held back because they are still clinging to the Kundalini narrative.
In my other talks in this series, I have more insight for those in the difficult parts. Check them out.
To me, letting go of the Kundalini narrative is a sign of maturation and wisdom. This is what it means to be integrated and embodied.
A butterfly doesn’t dwell on its time in the cocoon. It just lives as a butterfly now.
I like comparing Kundalini to puberty because we’ve all been through it and it’s not much different. During puberty, when you’re an adolescent, it’s okay to make it a part of your personality and identity.
But you don’t want to be 40 years old still walking around talking about how you’ve gone through puberty. Once it’s stabilized, you let it go, you don’t think about it anymore. Kundalini can be approached in the same way.
If you have issues relating with other people, if you think you can’t relate with people who haven’t gone through this process, then it’s likely your attachment to the Kundalini narrative that’s getting in the way.
Once you get over it and just move on, you’ll be able to relate with people without judgement or feeling like they don’t understand you and all that stuff.
For example, I might go to a party or a bar, and someone might offer me a drink. Because of my Kundalini process, I don’t drink. But I’m not going to tell anyone that the reason I don’t drink is because for the last however many years, I’ve been going through this energetic transformation called Kundalini. I just say no thanks.
This is why some spiritual teachers don’t talk much about their Kundalini process, even within a spiritual context. It’s become integrated so deeply that it’s no longer a big deal.
I’m a little different, because I do talk about this stuff openly, but once this camera is off, I’m no longer Brent Spirit. I’m just Brent. Just a normal guy. I don’t talk about this stuff outside of this role I play as a spiritual teacher. I don’t lead with my Kundalini awakening story as a key part of who I am.
