Many
of you have written us in the throes of kundalini awakening have presented to
us in a peculiar way: your kundalini is not awakened by any efforts of your
own, but rather, an Initiate is awakening it in you and you no longer have
control of it. We would like to shed a little light on this phenomenon, and how
it operates.
One
of the powers of Ascended Master in the 2nd Planetary Initiation,
Planetary Adepts of the 5th Planetary Initiation, Yogi Preceptors of
the 1st Cosmic Initiation, Cosmic Masters of the 5th Cosmic Initiation, and Kundalini and other Gurus of the Supracosmic Sphere is
the ability to manifest an inner wheel (Shakti Charka). This inner wheel is
used to link others to this Initiate, though each level connects to different
spiritual essences.
We
can characterize seven varieties of normal and heightened kundalini arousal:
(1) Normal cycling – This raises the kundalini up to the
cutting edge of spirituality and back down to the ground state. This is the
kundalini’s natural course and the one we teach in the Mudrashram® system of
Integral meditation.
(2) Hyperarousal with emergence phenomena
– In this case, the kundalini is drawn beyond the parameters of the cutting
edge of spirituality and is drawn into the unconscious mind. Here it dredges up
the various manifestations of emergence phenomena.
(3) Hyperarousal with temporary union with a higher octave of being – In this scenario, the kundalini is drawn
up into union with a higher octave of being beyond the cutting edge of
spirituality—either a nucleus of identity or an ensouling
entity—and fixed their long enough to awaken this spiritual essence.
Several groups use this method that they call “Deeksha;” this typically targets
the cosmic consciousness nucleus of identity. In this type of induced
hyperarousal, the connection is not sustained beyond the period of the
attunement.
(4) Hyperarousal with sustained union with a higher octave of being,
misalignment type – This
type arises when a overzealous meditator prematurely awakens chakras,
inappropriately opens blocked portions of the sushumna, ida, or pingala
channels, or misaligns vehicles of consciousness through well-meaning but
misguided spiritual practices. This misalignment creates an energetic “short
circuit” that maintains the kundalini in a state of unnatural intensification;
the kundalini remains fixed in a higher center outside the control of the
transpersonal will. This type requires a special attunement to fill in karma
behind the ensouling entity or the nucleus of identity and the associated
vehicles of consciousness, so they are moved back into alignment with the axis
of being. Once this imbalance has
been corrected, the kundalini usually returns to normalized functioning.
(5) Hyperarousal with sustained union with a higher octave of being, induced
type without misalignment –
This type is brought about an Initiate who has the power to establish the wheel
attunement with a potential “disciple,” and “chooses” to work with this
individual. Only the individual receiving this attunement can break the
connection with this overshadowing Initiate.
(6) Hyperarousal with sustained union with a higher octave of being, induced
type with misalignment –
This is similar to (5), with the addition of active transformation of the
spiritual essence under sustained attunement. Like (5), the induced kundalini
arousal must be first terminated by severing connection with the Initiate,
followed by rebalancing the ensouling entity or nucleus of identity and its
misaligned vehicles of consciousness.
(7) Hyperarousal with sustained active rising of the kundalini current – This is the “Gopi Krishna” syndrome, where the
kundalini continues to burn its way upward until it reaches a discrete terminal
state of consciousness. This type typically reunites the Supracosmic seed atom
with the Supracosmic Soul. Here kundalini acts to transform the Supracosmic
seed atom, relentlessly pushing it along. Once this process has begun, attempts
at outside intervention are typically fruitless, for the kundalini energy
presses ever upward as if it were on a mission to reunite the Supracosmic seed
atom with the Supracosmic Soul.
If
you must work with the kundalini, we recommend you learn how to produce normal
kundalini cycling, and eschew any practices that produce hyperarousal. We teach a kundalini technique in the
Mudrashram® Master Course in Meditation that induces normal cycling of this
energy; those who are taking the Accelerated Meditation Program can optionally
learn this technique from us if they so elect.
We
can help you with a Kundalini Syndrome Reading and Attunement with types 2 and
4, and rebalancing you if you have broken your connection with the
overshadowing Initiate in type 6. Type 3 is usually self-delimiting, unless the
disciple or Initiate who is currently giving you “Deeksha” concurrently
transforms the nucleus of identity of ensouling entity into another nodal
point—this produces the “short circuit” scenario seen in type 4. Freeing
yourself from type 5 hyperarousal will sometimes require great courage and
resolve to break the connection, as some Initiates do not want to let go of
you. Those who are in the thrall of type 7 unfortunately will have to ride out
this sustained energy ordeal until it reaches its culmination—there is
perhaps nothing that can be done in these cases.
We
hope that this article has clarified the types of kundalini hyperarousal, and
what you have to do to normalize your kundalini energy if you are
fortunate/unfortunate enough to be the recipient of an Initiate’s Grace through
sustained induced kundalini arousal.
