Nowadays, people describe Kundalini as an individual phenomenon or a personal possession. But that’s not how Vedic and Tantric traditions view it; they see it as the universal Shakti (cosmic energy) that resides in each and every one of us. In truth, it is the divine force which is inseparable from the ultimate consciousness. While people talk about it casually as if it is like having a cup of coffee, Kunalini awakening is not a casual or everyday event. It must be guided by Grace (Kripa) and proper discipline under a realized and accomplished Guru. The Kundalini Awakening process is deeply connected to our inner purification, surrender to the supreme force, and transcending the ego—not having a "conversation" with the energy as though it is separate from oneself. Critical Issues: Kundalini does not belong to you; if you speak about Kundalini as “my energy,” it means that you don’t understand what Kundalini is, at all. Kundalini, by its very nature, is universal and transcendent. The moment you identify it as "mine" shows the existence of an ego (no surrender), which is counterproductive to spiritual evolution. Vikalpa (Imaginations): Most of the sensations that you narrate—heat, spontaneous movements (kriyas), and rushes of energy— could be related to pranic activity or nervous system responses. However, in the absence of the proper guidance of a qualified spiritual master, it is impossible to know whether this is truly Kundalini or a mere mental projection (vikalpa). Advaita Vedanta says - experiences are not the goal; realization of the self as Brahman, beyond all phenomena, is. One can advice you the techniques to manage energy, it is important to understand that Kundalini awakening is not something to be "managed" by the ego. The entire process of “genuine” awakening process requires surrender—not to the energy—but to the universal truth. Multiple traditional texts like the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali or the Hatha Yoga Pradipika stresses repeatedly, the necessity of discipline, selflessness, and surrender to divine will. Functioning in the World: The notion of "reminding the energy" of your human limitations means a fragmented view of yourself. Kundalini awakening leads to the realization that the body, mind, and world are part of the same divine reality. When properly awakened, in its true sense, Kundalini transcends dualities—it does not require negotiation but dissolves the separateness, conditions and biffircuatioms you continue to cling to. Subtlety is the Mark of True Awakening: If Kundalini awakening is true and genuine, it is a transformative process marked by inner stillness, wisdom, and humility—and definitely not dramatic physical sensations or personal narratives. Our great yogis and rishis of ancient times achieved this state through years of tapas (austerities), discipline, and surrender—not through mere casual or individualistic efforts. Tough yet Respectful Reminder: It’s not a fad, definitely not; Kundalini is not an entertaining phenomenon to “control” or to seek validation for in casual discussions. It is the serpent power of the Divine Mother, a sacred process that shatters the ego and reunites the individual with the universe. Mistaking transient sensations or emotions as Kundalini awakening reduces this profound reality to mere personal experience which it is not. Your journey, even as it is personal, would benefit from deeper humility and grounding in the wisdom of the Vedic and Yogic traditions. Seek guidance from authentic scriptures and realized masters, and strive to transcend the ego's narratives about "my energy" or "my awakening." One last point: Kundalini awakening is not the end goal; the ultimate goal is Self-Realization—the state where all dualities, including "me" and "energy," dissolve into the infinite truth. May you be guided by light, wisdom, and truth. Shivoham (I am Shiva).
