Kundalini Awakening

'In Sanskrit, kundalini means “coiled snake,” and it is believed that divine energy was created at the base of the spine. It’s energy we are born with, and Kundalini works to “uncoil the snake” and connect us to our divine essence.

Kundalini was originally a study of the science of energy and spiritual philosophy.'

I never asked for my Kundalini to be awakened. Heck, I didn't even know what it was until 6 years after my first psychotic break.

For all that men talk about Kundalini and its power, I feel that women are susceptible to awakening the kundalini by accident, or at least unintentionally, during childbirth or when having penetrative vaginal sex, especially as a virgin for the first time.

If 'Kundalini, being feminine itself, is often associated with Shakti, the feminine life force, or sexual energy', it stands to reason that using the vagina for birth and sex can trigger some kind of Kundalini experience for the user.

'An awakening can happen intentionally through Kundalini Yoga, or other various Yoga poses, but it can also be unintentional, say a back injury, a fall or extreme emotional distress. Some experts say that child birth, meditative practices, and celibacy may also contribute to the awakening.'

Spiritual Postpartum Depression: When the Birthing Process is Interrupted

Abstract: Postpartum depression (PPD) affects approximately 13% of women globally 1 . While hormonal changes play a role, there’s growing interest in the spiritual dimension of childbirth. When the spiritual process of birth is interrupted—often due to medical interventions like cesarean sections—mothers may experience a profound sense of loss. This disruption can lead to PPD, as mothers struggle to connect with their newborns. In this article, we delve into the impact of medical interventions on the spiritual birth experience and explore coping strategies for holistic well-being. Introduction: Childbirth is a transformative event that encompasses physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions. The spiritual aspect involves a deep connection between the mother, baby, and the universe. When this connection is disrupted, mothers may experience spiritual postpartum depression (SPD). SPD differs from conventional PPD, as it centers on the loss of a sacred bond during childbirth. The Exper...

The Deeper Meaning Behind Katy Perry's 'Roar'

The music video for "Roar" by Katy Perry showcases a powerful story of self-discovery and (surprisingly) spiritual transformation. In the video, Katy Perry is abandoned by her male companion in the jungle, leaving her to fend for herself in the wild.
