The path of the Kundalini initiate is the path of the Spiritual warrior. A warrior needs the proper equipment, training, and insight to succeed.
Though the Kundalini awakening and transformation path is difficult, it is also rewarding beyond measure. Let us begin.
The Kundalini is evolutionary energy at the base of the spine (in the coccyx region) that is said to be coiled three and a half times in its state of potential in unawakened humans. The word “Kundalini” is of Eastern origin, namely Yoga and Tantra. In Sanskrit, Kundalini means “coiled snake.” Once awakened, the Kundalini rises up the spinal column through the three main Nadis, all the way to the top of the head. The term “Nadi” is a Sanskrit word that translates as “tube,” “channel,” or “flow.” Simply put, Nadis are channels that carry energy in the body.
The central Nadi is called Sushumna. It is essentially the hollow tube of the spinal column. Intertwining around Sushumna are two ancillary, or supplementary Nadis, Ida and Pingala.
THE TREE OF LIFE AND THE CHAKRAS
The Tree of Life, the main component of the Qabalah, is the blueprint of existence. It is the map of our Solar System and the human psyche. The Tree of Life consists of ten Sephiroth (Spheres), representing states of consciousness that humans partake of daily that give rise to inner faculties such as intuition, memory, willpower, imagination, emotion, desire, logic and reason, and thought. Qabalists say that everything in nature can be categorized on the Tree of Life since all things relate in some way to our Solar System and its energies.
Human beings have Major Chakras as well as Minor Chakras. However, the Seven Major Chakras are the primary ones that essentially power the Aura.
Conversely, the lowest Sephira is called Malkuth, the Planet Earth, as the tenth Sephira on the Tree of Life—directly opposite to Kether. On the Chakric system, Malkuth relates to the first Chakra, Muladhara, and the Earth Element.
The Chakras become like light bulbs, which emit Light respective to how clean, pure, and in-tune they are. For example, if there is a lot of Karma in a particular Chakra, it emits a dim Light rather than a bright one. It is the solemn duty you owe to your Creator to cleanse your Chakras and remove negativity from each so that they can shine brightly, allowing you to align your consciousness with your Soul.
Karma is a Sanskrit word for “action,” “work,” or “deed” that forms part of the Universal Law. It implies that every action is the effect of one or more previous actions and will cause one or more future actions.
