Kundalini awakening is a powerful, transformative journey and proper preparation can help create a safe and meaningful experience. The following practices — meditation, breathwork and a foundational yoga posture — can help cultivate inner awareness and balance, setting a strong foundation for your Kundalini journey.
Meditation is one of the most important practices to prepare for Kundalini awakening, as it helps calm the mind and increase self-awareness. Start with a simple meditation practice:
• Find a quiet space: Sit in a comfortable position, either on the floor or in a chair. Keep your spine straight and let your hands rest on your knees or in your lap.
• Focus on your breath: Begin by taking slow, deep breaths. Inhale deeply and exhale slowly, allowing any tension to leave your body.
• Observe your mind: As thoughts arise, gently acknowledge them without judgment, then return your focus to your breath. Aim to practice this for 10–15 minutes daily.
This meditation practice will help you develop the stillness and mental clarity needed for Kundalini energy to flow smoothly.
Breathwork, or pranayama, is essential in preparing for Kundalini awakening, as it activates and balances the body’s energy channels. A simple yet powerful breath exercise is Alternate Nostril Breathing (Nadi Shodhana).
• Sit comfortably: Sit with your back straight. Place your left hand on your left knee.
• Close your right nostril: Using your right thumb, gently close your right nostril and inhale deeply through your left nostril.
• Switch: Close your left nostril with your right ring finger, then exhale fully through your right nostril.
• Repeat: Inhale through your right nostril, then switch and exhale through your left. Continue this cycle for 5–10 minutes.
This exercise harmonizes the body’s energies and helps calm the nervous system, making it easier to enter a state of inner awareness.
Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana) is a foundational yoga posture that opens the spine and energizes the body, creating space for Kundalini to move freely.
• Lie on your stomach: Place your palms flat on the floor under your shoulders, elbows close to your body.
• Inhale and lift: As you inhale, gently press into your palms and lift your chest off the floor. Keep your elbows slightly bent and shoulders relaxed.
• Breathe and hold: Hold for a few breaths, feeling a gentle stretch along your spine, then lower back down. Repeat 3–5 times.
Cobra Pose helps open the energy channels along your spine and prepares your body for the upward movement of Kundalini energy.
An affirmation can help strengthen your intention and openness toward Kundalini. Try repeating this affirmation daily:
“I am open to the wisdom within, and I trust the energy that flows through me”.
