Everything You Need to Know About Kundalini Awakening (But Didn’t Know to Ask)

June 8, 2022 //  by Kara-Leah Grant

Kundalini Awakening, the activation and rising of Kundalini energy in the body, can be a frightening and even dangerous experience.

This is especially the case if you experienced a spontaneous Kundalini Awakening before doing the work to prepare yourself for it. That’s when a Kundalini Awakening can lead to horror stories of out-of-control “crazy” behaviour and symptoms like Kudanlini-induced psychosis.

Eighteen years on from my own Awakening (and yes, it included all of the above) I’ve learned a LOT about how to skillfully integrate Kundalini energy.

I’ve studied Kundalini within the Yogic and Tantrik traditions, I’ve fully integrated my own Awakening and I’ve supported hundreds of students in their healing and integration process.

Because although Kundalini Awakenings can be downright awful there are so many benefits that come when you integrate, heal, and get the support you need.

How do you get there? As a starting point, I’ve gathered together my top Kundalini Awakening resources. They range from free articles and videos to online courses, books and 1:1 sessions.

“Is it possible… is it possible that kundalini awakening could look like psychosis?”

After ditching university, Kara-Leah Grant spent her twenties traveling the world in search of adventure, creativity and a tribe of like-minded souls.

Sex, drugs, yoga and music festivals were simply part of the fun, until they weren’t.

Diagnosed as bipolar after leaping topless onto a moving logging truck in the wilderness of British Columbia, Kara-Leah returns to New Zealand to heal her soul, face her past, and uncover the deep truths of her innermost being. This is her story of healing, recovery and liberation.
