[Unseeking Seeker]

Hello starlight,

First, it is great news that you had a spontaneous kundalini awakening. I’m assuming you engaged in no practice, otherwise it wouldn't be spontaneous, would it?

So, blockages here and there. What are these blockages? Fear.

I would suggest an orientation of mindful emptiness. This means, witnessing with nonchalance, the problems arising at different energy centres or chakras and weeding away fear correspondent to the frequency of the chakra in question. There may be many interpretations, so you can examine what applies in your case.

For a basic understanding, I’d say that the three chakras below heart, namely, root, sacral and navel ~ they relate to our animal nature or material and the ones above heart to the creative aspects in us or the ethereal. As for the heart, it is where all desires begin and where they are finally culminated.

Offhand I’d suggest looking at fear of death. When body dies, who or what dies? When we are deprived of a material object we seek, who in us seeks that transient object? Contemplating thus, fears related to root should slowly ebb away.

The sacral poses a question ~ would we like to go with lust or love? Lust we know, so what is unconditional love? What are the octaves of love - joy, empathy, compassion, purity, bliss, peace and where are we? Knock on heart’s door, in silence. If you wish, you may visualise the heart chakra symbol - Star of David, essentially two intermeshed triangles, one pointing up, the other down. This is relevant. In which direction are we drawn and why? What is our intent? Remember, love employs no force, so we must use our limited free will to choose.

All this is one way of going about healing by consciousness correction. The other is to recognise kundalini as divine Mother and surrender egoic will to Her, totally. Pray. Ask Her to reduce trauma. In the act of surrender, you can prostrate stretched out on ground if you like. The physical act mirrors mental surrender. Maharishikaa has some videos on kundalini trauma healing.

Transcending all of this, we may see that our identity itself is illusionary and therefore, there is no separation between our awareness and the kundalini (the kinetic aspect of consciousness) and also none between us and space (the potential aspect or the screen of consciousness). However, this is another contemplation.
