Removing the barriers

Kundalini means “coiled”. It is a serpent coiled very tightly in your root chakra. When you do techniques that awaken the kundalini, it will start releasing great energy into your body. This energy is coiled so tightly that releasing it too quickly could damage you physically and mentally. Awakening the kundalini is good when it is done softly at first.

There is a major channel of energy in the center of your spine called the Sushumna. The Suchumna is the passage used by the vapors of the kundalini when it is awakened. From the base of our spine up to our skull, the Sushumna encounters each chakra as it goes. When the kundalini is awakened, energy will rise into the Sushumna one level at a time. At the contact of each chakra, the energy of the kundalini opens the chakra and activates it, lighting it up with the light of god that was stored within you. Before the kundalini actually rises within the sushumna, it is only the vapors of the burning power of god that rises through the three channels.

Two other channels, called the Ida and Pingala, on each side of the spine, link the base chakra to your nostrils. The ida, on the left, and the Pingala on the right, start from the base of the nostril, pass by the root of the nose, up your skull a bit on each side, down the back of your head, down to your perineum. Figure 1 shows the side path of the ida and pingala, while figure 2 shows an older drawing of the chakras and the three main channels. These 3 channels do not only serve when the kundalini is awakened, but is a main passage for energy continuously, at a low intensity.

Somehow, the passageways for the energy got blocked, with years of sleep and regular bad habits. As dense energies got to you, barriers formed into the energy channels. If we remove these blocks of density in quick blow, it might damage the channels, so we must slowly work on them to open the channels again so that the vapors of the kundalini may rise again without causing pain. Never rush into activating your kundalini, never be too anxious to get there. It is preferable to receive an authentic initiation with a master or a good teacher, one that will explain to you every detail of the process. Until then, you can practice Kundalini awakening dance, and the removing of the barriers.

Do this once in a while. Do not be too violent with this exercise. Do it before you have anything to do with the kundalini, like before a dance of awakening. Other practices concerning kundalini will come in time. It is not a priority to awaken the kundalini right now, although you will eventually wish to. Kundalini is the power of god within us.

Part 1

Relax, breath in and out slowly, deeply, with normal breathing.

As you inhale, concentrate on tailbone of the spine, all the coccyx regions. As your exhale release your concentration and relax. Do 9 breaths.

As you inhale, concentrate on the region in your spine directly behind your navel. As you exhale, concentrate on your dan-tian, in front of your body, just below your navel. The energy will go where it must naturally. Simply concentrate where you should, and let everything else go. Do 9 breaths.

As you inhale, concentrate on the region in your spine, below the base of the throat, just below the little bump. As you exhale, concentrate on your dan-tian in front of your abdomen. The energy will make it’s own movement. Do 9 breaths.

As you inhale, concentrate on your “Jade Gate”, the pointed bone behind your skull, at its base. As you exhale, concentrate at your front dan-tian. Do 9 breaths again.

Relax, breath in and out slowly, deeply, with normal breathing.

Part 2

Slowly breathe in and concentrate on the air passing in your nostrils, extracting the energy from the air. The energy goes up in the ida and pingala, to the top of your head a bit on each side, to the back of your neck, down each side of your spine, way down to your base chakra. The energy enters the perineum and ignites a white flame that burns accumulated toxins and impurities in your abdomen. The flame produced a blue smoke that dumps upward into your lungs, that is expelled while you exhale.

Have the consecutive breaths nourish a constant and continuous flow of energy by your nostrils, down to your base chakra, nourish the flame that burns the barriers, that becomes blue smoke, out your nose when you exhale, and white energy enters in again… and so on.
