From Meh to Magnificent: A Way to Find Your Higher Self through Kundalini Yoga

A woman sitting and staring at  a large full moon

Hello Wingless Dreamers,


I don’t know about you, but with 2024 waving its chaotic goodbye, I’m practically leaping into 2025. Why, you ask? Well, let’s just say I turned 2024 into my personal disaster movie—plot twists, bad decisions, and plenty of “oops” moments.


But here’s the thing: I’m ready to hit CTRL+ALT+DELETE on this year and crack open a brand-new chapter. What’s waiting for me in 2025? Who knows! It’s a mystery box, and I’m here for the suspense. Time to wipe the slate clean and dive into the unknown—because fresh starts are where the magic happens.


The good news? I’ve done the homework for you! Over the past couple of years, I’ve devoured books on motivation, spiritual science, and self-help—honestly, I practically had them for breakfast. Crazy? Maybe. But if you’re an avid reader like me, you get it—it’s a love affair only bookworms understand.


So, without further ado, let’s dive straight into an unusual, untraditional, and delightfully unconventional way to revive your higher self and harness it for your emotional and personal growth. Please don't misunderstand me, but this blog is not for feeble-hearted people. Only peak performers and those who already have crossed the line of mediocrity are most welcome. Let's create some world-class transformation. Dreamers, it’s time to shake things up! Ever experienced the magic of Kundalini Yoga or heard about the word "Kundalini Yoga"? No? Get ready to unlock the millionaire's treasure through this blog post.


Magic of a Kundalini Yoga Retreat

I am not going to waste your precious time by stating the same as how significant yoga is or over-explaining the cuteness of the goat or puppy yogas. Here, we are talking about the most omnipotent and probably one of the most dangerous yogas in the world, called "Kundalini Yoga". When Kundalini energy rises, it’s like flipping the switch on these chakras—bringing balance, clarity, and a serious glow-up for your spiritual wellness. If you unlock all the chakras, they say, you can touch, feel, or sense things that commoners can't see or feel. Imagine if you harness the power of deep emotional reasoning, then you can master any personal relationships in the world.


Did you know your body is basically a highway of energy centers? Meet your 7 chakras:

  • Root chakra (your grounding buddy)

  • Sacral chakra (hello, creativity!)

  • Solar plexus chakra (your inner powerhouse)

  • Heart chakra (all about love and compassion)

  • Throat chakra (speak your truth!)

  • Third eye chakra (intuition mode: ON)

  • Crown chakra (your gateway to the divine)


With regular Kundalini yoga practice, you might just hit the ultimate jackpot: a Kundalini awakening—spiritual enlightenment, anyone? Imagine becoming that one—the "all-knowing, unstoppable force" of your own life. Sounds incredible, right?


Picture this: unlocking your hidden potential, fulfilling every desire, and tapping into a version of yourself so powerful, the world fades into the background. Kundalini Awakening is indeed some hidden treasure for the world-class players.

But here’s the catch—I bet you’ve never truly seen this side of you. So, here’s the deal—based on my personal experience, I’m sharing a few precautions you absolutely must take, or else I might just land in hot water for spilling these beans.


And trust me, this is exactly why pundits, gurus, and Hindu preachers steer clear of talking about "Kundalini Yoga" stuff. They know one thing for sure: as humans, we’re wired to mess up, and one wrong move could leave you spinning and losing your mind. So tread carefully, Wingless Dreamers!


What happens when you perform Kundalini Yoga?


Alright, enough with the suspense! Let’s break it down with solid scientific facts, biological reasoning, and a psychological perspective. Kundalini Yoga makes you aware of your dormant energy. My team will kill me if I explain you through this example - but here goes nothing. Basically, imagine the sensation of being high and drunk—that’s the kind of energy I’m talking about. It’s intense, electric, and can make you feel like you’re floating on a cloud of pure vitality. I know, right?

  1. UNLOCK DORMANT ENERGY


The word "Kundalini" from Kundalini Yoga itself means coil. So, basically, through mantras, yoga postures, meditation, and focus, you're activating the powerful Kundalini energy coiling at the base of your spine, pushing it upwards to awaken your fullest potential. It’s like turning on a hidden power switch within you!


  1. BOOSTS MENTAL CLARITY


Ho! Ho! Ho! Christmas is coming early this year! I don't know about you, but I'd love to clear my mind and organize all those chaotic, creative thoughts in one place. Let’s face it, it can get crazy inside your head. But with the combination of breathwork, movement, and meditation, you can clear away the mental fog and sharpen your focus. You’ll find yourself, without even trying, ditching the endless scrolling on your phone or Netflix binges. Instead, you’ll enjoy wandering through nature’s trails or even the bustling concrete jungle. You’ll begin to appreciate your surroundings, finding beauty even in the most worn-out or neglected places.


Before you know it, you’ll stop rushing, slow down, and start admiring the shapes and colors around you.

Well, I’m at that stage of my chakra journey. Say goodbye to stress and hello to a zen state of mind!


  1. RISE OF HIDDEN FEARS


It may sound alarming, but I've been there, and trust me, I wasn't ready either to deal with my past traumas. But guess what? The best thing about Kundalini Yoga is that you're not bound to be forced. Things will come to you eventually without any haste. You can mould the process as per your comfort.


As it awakens energy, it can stir up emotions that need healing. It may bring something up from your past or childhood. This process may bring up hidden fears, but it’s all part of the journey to emotional freedom.

Don’t fret! It’s not all thorns—there are plenty of roses too. Now, I can't speak for everyone who’s successfully unlocked their chakras, but for me, I’ve started to stumble upon some childhood memories that were locked deep in my subconscious. I even remember things from when I was 4 years old. You’re probably thinking, "What a hoax! Who remembers anything from when they were 3 or 4?" Well, I did! While professionals might be able to access those memories with the snap of their fingers, for amateurs like me, it comes in random bursts and in a totally uncontrollable way. So, think of Kundalini Yoga as this exciting journey, revealing layers of your past and your potential—one surprise after another!


  1. SUPERHUMAN LIKE PHYSICAL VITALITY


Let’s be real: Kundalini Yoga won’t magically give you the power of a Kung Fu master or unlock secret martial arts moves for free. Sorry, no hidden superhero abilities here! But what it will do is unlock your inner energy and bring about a whole new level of mental and physical awareness. You would no longer have a tired mind or body. Your knee pain, joint pain, or any other physical discomfort is gone with the wind before even you realise that.


Kundalini Yoga aligns your body, mind, and spirit, creating a sense of wholeness and inner peace that radiates outward. I know, I know—you're probably hoping for a magical glow to start radiating from you. But that's simply not happening. No instant halos or glowing auras, my friend. However, what you will experience is a deeper connection with yourself and a shift in your energy that feels pretty darn close to it! People around you will definitely notice the positive aura that you, knowingly or unknowingly, will bring along with you.


Ultimately, Kundalini Yoga is about awakening to your true potential, breaking free from limitations, and embracing life with open arms.


Precautions to Take While Practicing Kundalini Yoga (On or Off the Mat):


  1. Don’t attempt Kundalini Yoga without proper supervision!

So, before you go down that rabbit hole, take these precautions to stay grounded and keep the energy flowing in your favour. 🚫 Always practice under the guidance of a professional or someone well-versed in its techniques—this energy is powerful, and trust me, you don’t want to awaken it the wrong way.


Since this yoga doesn't include a set of exercises focusing on good body postures but also, Kundalini Yoga requires adequate breathing, chanting mantras, performing kriyas, and learning mudras. For that, you need a guru—someone who’s a master of spiritual awakening, capable of snapping you out of those runaway thoughts when they veer off course. A true guide knows exactly how to steer you back to your centre when you’re lost in the mental wilderness.


  1. Play it safe, both on and off the mat


Yes, you've got to take precautions both on and off the mat. Once you’ve unlocked and balanced your basic chakras—the first chakra—even before diving into the rest six chakras, you’ll start noticing big changes in your life. It’ll feel like the universe itself is conspiring in your favour, opening doors and bringing opportunities. Although the change is slow, in the beginning, your mind will feel light and carefree. You don't budge yourself anymore with the noise, pollution, or overall communal degradation. You don't become a modern monk overnight, so please don't act like one. It's embarrassing. Anyway, just be careful with the change, but don't be afraid of it.


  1. Did you lose focus? Snap! It's over.


With this ample amount of energy, you must learn to direct your astronomical focus on self-growth and communal growth.


I admit, flying high is fun, and I’m not here to stop you from being experimental. But here’s the thing—don’t lose sight of your true goal. Don’t waste endless hours at clubs or get lost in the technicolor laser lights. Deutilizing your energy is a curse in itself, because that’s when your procrastinator or sloth avatar makes a comeback. And all that hard-earned dormant energy you’ve awakened? It’ll slip right through your fingers if you’re not careful. Keep your focus and let your energy work for you, not against you!


Kundalini-Awakening is afraid of only one thing which is mediocrity.

Stop running errands on loose ends where things are not important to you.


In my case, I walked away from my hard-earned job to dive into running this publishing company. It’s been nothing short of enriching and full of life. This is something I would have never done as a brown Indian woman coming from a small town.


  1. There are always two sides to everything


Whoops! Didn’t I mention it? There are always two sides to the coin, like yin and yang. Similarly, we got two sides of the Kundalini Awakening as well.


In the world of Kundalini Yoga, you're awakening your energy—now it’s up to you to choose which side to listen to! And here’s the twist, The old Cherokee said it best: "The one that you feed." In life, you get to choose which wolf to nourish. Will it be the one of joy, peace, love, and all things good? Or will you feed the grumpy, negative one? The choice is all yours!

Kundalini Yoga's catch: if your mindset veers toward negativity or pessimism, you might feel like the whole world is working against you but when veers toward positivity, the world is all yours.

Everything around us vibrates, which means the energy we emit and receive—whether good or bad—affects how our spirit reacts and makes decisions. It’s like tuning into a frequency; what you send out is what you attract! As a mediator or say, a high-yielding possibilitarian - you must surround yourself with the essentials. The less you get caught up in trivial activities, the quicker you’ll breeze through to your goals. Embrace minimalism—it’s all about focusing on what truly matters.


So, grab your mat, channel your inner energy, and let Kundalini Yoga work its magic! It’s like a spiritual espresso shot that elevates your mood, awakens your enlightened self, and unleashes your dominant power—because who doesn’t want to feel like a cosmic superhero in charge of their own vibe?


On that note, I will bid you farewell. See you in the next blog post, next Thursday.
