People often ask me, how long does the Kundalini awakening process take? The answer to the question varies from person to person. There are many things to consider when looking forward on our journey, as well as when we look back at things that happened early on in our journey, during our childhood, and also in previous incarnations, if we like that idea.

Some practices, like effortful pranayama, breathwork, visualization, kriyas, and psychedelics shouldn't be engaged once Kundalini Shakti rises within you. Many don't understand this idea and end up overclocking and destabilizing their system unnecessarily because they push too hard with spiritual practices when they no longer need to. Kundalini Shakti has its own intelligence and plan. Once she awakens, you can take a more passive approach to your spiritual practices. This is important to understand, as sometimes, if you put too much effort into manipulating the energy in your body, you will interfere with the Kundalini Shakti process and its natural, organic, spontaneous unfolding.

This section is a bit of a fun one all about the Kundalini symbology that we have all around us, hidden in plain sight. Some of it goes overlooked. We’ll explore the dollar sign, the caduceus, and more.

Today we’re talking all about how to approach the topic of Kundalini awakening within your relationships with friends, family, and loved ones. This is a topic that many people struggle with, understandably so. It’s been a tricky one for me to navigate as well. I’ll be sharing some of my ideas and insights about these dynamics within our relationships and some tips and practices to help you to find balance. Many people approach me with questions along the lines of: How do I speak to the people in my life about what I’m going through with this Kundalini process? They mention that they may have tried in the past, and they were either shut down, ignored, or labelled as crazy. I’ve been there myself.

There are two camps - victims who feel Kundalini is a curse and empowered people who know it is a blessing. In this section, I discuss what I feel is the most significant paradigm shift to ensure a smooth awakening process. Many have sought Kundalini awakening and given up everything for it. It's something to be embraced, not something to run away from.

The Kundalini process can cause your life to fall apart. But eventually, you will be called to be of service in some way. In this episode, I explore how to orient your life around the idea of service and why. I share some practices for putting yourself in the receptive mode to receive direction from the Universe for how you can be of service and more.

Megan Jones, host of the Chasing Spirituality podcast, kindly invited me on her show for a chat about my spiritual journey and work. We explore some meaningful themes relating to Kundalini and spiritual awakening in general.

In this section, I discuss the significance of the Goddess Kali and how we can develop a relationship with her which will support us on our Kundalini awakening journey. I share some auspicious stories of my own relationship with Kali, Anandamayi Ma, and Sri Ramana Maharshi. I close with a beautiful tale by Sri Ramakrishna.

Lila Sterling has over a decade of experience with Kundalini process. Her journey has brought her into deep and intimate relationships with Jesus, Kali, Ganesha, Saraswati, and of course, Kundalini Shakti. As a homeschooling mother of eight children, Lila is a shining example of someone embodying their spirituality in the world, as a householder, with an open heart. Now, she has begun to blossom into a spiritual midwife, supporting others through their rebirth process. Together, we explore themes of devotion, trust, relationship, Neo-Advaita, Rumi, Christianity, Hinduism, midwifery, and more.

Mahesi Caplan has over 30 years of experience with the Kundalini process. Having spent 15 years as a Buddhist monk, his approach to integrating Kundalini awakening is grounded in the structured teachings of Buddhism, which he shares freely with us in this conversation.

Mahesi describes his early experiences of encountering something within himself that was “enormous and high voltage.” Together, we explore Mahesi's awakening story, his time as a monk, relating with others, archetypes, the spiritual support that he offers, and more.

Weed can be used to manage some of the difficulties of Kundalini process, but there is a price. I suggest not using marijuana, if possible, to avoid self-sabotage and hardship. If that's not possible, I offer my insights about using cannabis properly within the context of spiritual awakening.

With humility and openness, Angela describes recognizing her spiritual gifts early on, having multiple near-death experiences (NDEs), mystical encounters with Divine beings, Kundalini Shakti awakening, and more. We discuss topics such as the 'Witch Wound', self-love and acceptance, meditation, channelling, connecting with spirit guides, and more.

The same attitude that you approached puberty with can be applied to Kundalini. The processes are very similar. You didn't trip about puberty. Don't trip about Kundalini awakening, either. Just like how you didn't need to read everything about hormones and do things to facilitate puberty, you don't need to read everything about chakras and nadis or do anything to control Kundalini rising, either.

The Kundalini Shakti awakening process is highly individualized though there are general overarching themes that we see across the board. Some will have a Kundalini rising from the Root Chakra toward the Crown Chakra, others will experience a Descent of Grace from the Crown Chakra downward, for example. There are an infinite amount of mystical phenomena that can be experienced and no two journeys are identical.

Be mindful not to become obsessive and attached to intellectual knowledge about the Kundalini Shakti awakening process. A caterpillar doesn't need to know anything about metamorphosizing into a butterfly. You don't need to obsess over the chakras, nadis, past lives, and all that stuff. Surrender and let the process unfold.

If you think the process is an illness, you will approach it looking for the cure. There is no cure for Kundalini awakening because it is not an illness. There is no cure for puberty either. Kundalini awakening is spiritual puberty - an evolutionary transformation toward Self-Realization.

Tawni has decades of experience with the Kundalini awakening process and the spiritual journey. She shares her deep wisdom with humility and gentleness. Together we explore her journey and relationship with Christ, the rising of Kundalini, the dark night of the soul, the rebirth process, and more.

To me, letting go of the Kundalini Shakti awakening narrative is a sign of maturation and wisdom. This is what it means to integrate and embody your spirituality. A butterfly doesn’t dwell on its time in the cocoon. It just lives as a butterfly now.

I describe the dark, difficult, scary, and uncomfortable parts of my Kundalini awakening process and spiritual journey. I share some of the attitudes and insights that got me through difficult experiences like DP/DR or Zen Sickness, chakra blockages, depression, heartbreak, and more.

I look back at some of the insights that would have been useful for me during the difficult parts of the Kundalini awakening process, such as knowing that it is a real phenomenon, the importance of not comparing my path to others, that the body is important for spiritual development, and more.
