To put it simply, a Kundalini awakening can be classified as a type of spiritual awakening, but a spiritual awakening isn't always related to Kundalini. "They don't have to be related but can be."Īccording to her, upper chakras opening can manifest in sudden realizations, visions, insights, connecting with spirits, psychic insights, experiences of a sudden feeling of love out of nowhere, and more-but that doesn't necessarily mean it's Kundalini. "We can have the instances of Kundalini awakening, and then we can also have instances of upper chakras opening," Rebelle says. It's not always possible to know if our Kundalini energy is rising or we're going through a different kind of spiritual experience.
(This is another example of what can happen when Kundalini rises in a body with chakras that are not fully clear.)Īs Rebelle explains, the difference between a Kundalini awakening and a spiritual awakening can be difficult to discern in the moment. (This would, again, be an instance of rising Kundalini energy not quite flowing properly, Rebelle says.) (This can happen if Kundalini is rising but your chakras are not clear, so the energy isn't able to flow.) You have a significant increase in empathy. You have a newfound strength and clarity that allows you to make positive changes in your life without fear. You have profound new insights into your life or even past lives. You might feel pleasurable physical sensations-like a full-body orgasm but one that is more sensual than sexual. You remember them, but they no longer bother you. Old problems and even past trauma do not have the same effect on you anymore. Your mind is able to witness, observe, and discern (thanks to an open crown chakra). Your mind is noticeably more still, with a new ability to focus on one thought at a time. You feel love and compassion for all that is and recognize yourself as an intrinsic part of all.
You transcend the dual nature of the mind and are able to see that we consciously create our reality. You feel euphoric in the moment and have a sense of resounding peace. You have a feeling of freedom, from the ego and from the material realm.
