Express your vital feminine energy with this
potently beautiful Kundalini exercise.
By HarJiwan
IF THERE IS ONE THING WE ALL NEED and
want more of in this high-paced age of
technology, it’s energy. Real energy. Not
the kind of false energy that comes from
consuming external stimulants or
pushing to the point of total exhaustion,
or having to resort to ‘disconnecting’
from the world as it simply becomes too
much. The energy I’m talking about is
the pure, high energy that is within you.
How can you tap into that reservoir of
vitality, stimulate it and have it carry you
throughout your day? Welcome to the
magic of Kundalini energy. Kundalini is
potent, powerful, beautiful, magical,
healing energy that is inside you. It
is a pool of energy coiled up
waiting for you to tap into and
awaken, thus bringing more
colour into your world.
Some side effects you’ll
experience when the Kundalini
Shakti awakens within is pure
joy, bubble of happiness, a true
sense of connectedness, self-
love, creativity, vitality,
energy, sexual potency,
laughter, aligning with your
destiny or true sense of
purpose, dropping away
negative habitual patterns,
radiance and glowing skin,
synchronicity, balance,
mental alertness, and a sense
of falling deeply in love. The
Kundalini Shakti energy when
raised up and kept up, simplymakes your life way more enjoyable!
I want to share one exercise you can do
daily to raise this Kundalini energy.
The physical benefits include strong
toned pelvic floor and transversus
abdominals muscles resulting in flatter,
leaner abdominals, a strong sexual
system, toned nervous system,
invigorated inner organs, increased
flexibility within the spine and a
beautiful release of Kundalini energy to
heal and regenerate every organ and cell.
Traditionally this power exercise is
called Sat Kriya — it’s a classical Kriya in
the teachings of Kundalini Yoga, as
taught by Yogi Bhajan. Raising the
Kundalini energy is safe when practicing
this ancient exercise.
It works primarily on the lower
chakras: the first, second and third
chakras. Referred to as the lower
triangle, Sat Kriya has the ability to
transcend deeply entrenched wounds
from our early life. It is also powerful in
healing mental and psychological
imbalances. I’ve seen amazing
transformations happen when people
commit to practicing this exercise
correctly daily.
Get ready to feel energised throughout
the day and experience an uncoiling of
your authentic self. You’ll stand taller
walking on a strong balanced foundation.
Before practicing this exercise, please
tune in with the Adi Mantra three times
out loud. Chant ONG NAMO GURU
DEV NAMO. This will bring you into a
sacred devotional space and will ensure
you are guided by your own inner
wisdom and not personal ego. How to practice Sat Kriya
