    Bonnie's book "When Spirit Leaps: Navigating the Process of Spiritual Awakening": www.amazon.com...
    Kundalini is the life force engaged in the deconstruction and realignment of your energy and consciousness, and this dynamic impacts every area of your life. It is both a revolution and evolution that triggers a radical shift in how you see yourself and the world It is your own energy field reorganizing so that you can know the answer to your deepest longing for truth, and live your life with a new perspective. But like any revolution it can bring profound challenges. What can you expect and how can you learn to trust this process as it unfolds in your life?

    I'm a completely different person than I was 5 years ago. The first two or three years were horrific. I had so much rapid change. About a year into it, I realized I was nothing but a programmed puppet, I had no sense of self, I was just an empty shell that repeated everything I had been taught and chased approval and acceptance. The realization of that shook my foundation to the core. I lost my identity. I lost (left) a 20 year marriage and an 18 year career. I had two nervous breakdowns. I lost my reputation in my community. My mother and grandmother both passed (after I had taken care of them for a year while the transitioned from our world). There was a lot. But I can't even express how peaceful and abundant my life is now. I was able to retain and repair my relationship with my daughters. I have a new grandbaby.... life is good in so many ways. I write about my awakening for others who are going through it too. I can't even express how much I needed guidance. I always did have guides and Angels, but it took me a long time to see that. I still have a lot to clear, but it's intentional now. For a long time it wasn't deconstructing, but rather demolishing. I really don't know where I'm going from here, but I trust. I know the way will be shown and the path will appear. In the meantime, I'm building healthy habits, clearing, and creating.
    To anyone going through the tearing down stage, I'm so sorry. Let yourself grieve. Acceptance doesn't mean that it doesn't matter. Your guides and Source love you tremendously. Ask for help if you need it. Honor you. Resistance does make it harder. Try to trust. If you need help with that, ask. Source doesn't judge you like you judge you. If you ask, it is given. Learn to be present (not in the mind, but rather the body). Practice meditation. It does help. Let go of self-judgment. You matter and wherever you are, you're doing great.
    Love you Dear Soul! Believing for guidance, clarity, comfort, and peace of mind for you! May your path be blessed.

      My awakening process has been very confusing over the last 8 years as I believe I was also awakened into a twin soul/twin flame journey at about the same time. Until I came across a few videos like this one this week I had assumed that what I was experiencing was caused by my twin soul/flame journey. This video has validated for me that I have indeed been experiencing a Kundalini Awakening process. The things that worked for me in managing this process have been meditation, constant letting go, lots of reading about spirituality and learning about the Self. Almost everything about my previous self fell away and I felt very depressed about what i thought was losing my life. Nothing seemed to be working in my life for many years. But eventually I got to the other side and now I am able to say that for the first time I know what JOY feels like. That word joy was very elusive to me for most of my life. And I am 70 years old now so that says something for how long I have been living in this earthly illusion. My advice to anybody going through this process is to love yourself as best you can at all times and put your trust in your own knowing instead of anything or anyone in the external world 🙏❤️😊

    Easily, one of the most helpful, grounded and clear explanations of the process of awakening, as well as, its meaning...that I have ever come across. Thank you Dr. Bonnie Greenwell, for your calming, layman's explanation of Kundalini. Having experienced a spontaneous awakening over the course of several nights back in 1995, I was fully convinced that I had experienced a Near Death Experience (NDE), until I happened upon a documentary one night in 2015 on Kundalini. Right there, before my very eyes, was an animated physical depiction of my very awakening. The truth was finally revealed to me. And now, I am no longer so consumed by defining the event so much as I am taking action to explore, assimilate and share my knowledge, love and truth from the activation itself. It is not about "me." But, it IS about "we." Getting myself out of the way, has been the most tremendously liberating experiences of my life, thus far. I'm looking forward to what's to come next.

    What striked the most about this presentation is the fact that she mentioned that a Kundalini awakening is often not synonym of miraculous excessively gradiose manifestations. It can be quite subtle and even a bit "ordinary". It takes time for such a transformation to operate in a being. I remember, nine years ago, not only was I overwhelmed, but I did not see an obvious difference between Before and After. I was reading lists of manifestations and symptoms, and I was puzzled, checking on myself, waiting for something brilliant to download in my mind. Not everyone turns into a genius walking on waters overnight ! Kundalini can occur at a quiet pace, slowly but surely transforming, balancing the energies, "burning" every cell, removing day after day layers of Ego, working in unknown and mysterious dimensions. In the end, this force really goes beyond any imagination !

      Wow, I started Kundalini 10 years ago, had a couple of years off, and just recently started having strong sensations again. I was so dismayed because I was frightened most of the time in my first experience because I , basically had no one to talk to for help and guidance. This time I was just as dismayed until I happened upon Victor Oddo's video A Guide to Living With Kundalini Energy....that video helped me to shift my perspective and think about my process as something beneficial and helpful. Today has been very challenging for me, but my new perspective helped me to remain calm. I am so grateful for this information. Namaste'

      It’s misguided instructions. You, me everyone, does not awaken kundalini because “I wanna see what that’s about” we have free will and due to this, unfortunately, you can (not all) be successful. BUT… awakening this sleeping energy can, if we are not (which we usually not) ready, be detrimental to our physiology and mental state, including dementia. DO YOUR SHADOW WORK first !!! Then open it… ALL …. third eye, become clairvoyant, Astro travel etc. but be safe man do it right.💜🙏💜

    22 years ago , participated in ashtanga yoga !
    I push everything to the limit ! At times unaware of my own intensity.
    Took myself away for 3 days fasting meditation and yoga !
    I held the muscle between the legs , as normal throughout the practise of yoga, in ashtanga .
    On the last day I held the muscle 5 hr.
    On releasing I experience kundalini.
    Was unaware of kundalini
    Until I spoke to the yoga teacher !
    I have thought about it over the years. finally watching your program
    On CZcams , Answered many questions.
    I reached the black hole after kundalini. From then on I have never looked back.. no depression.. no drugs or booze.. no toxic people in..my life.
    I am fit as a fiddle
    And I have boundless supply of energy..at 52.

      It is so wonderful to hear Bonnie speak in such a grounded and compassionate way about the process of Kundalini awakening. It would be amazing to hear a discussion between Bonnie and Igor Kufayev. He also speaks of Kundalini in incredible depth from both first hand experience and draws from a wealth of tradition. He has an upcoming course that I am very excited about as it will detail also in depth the neurophysiological aspects of the process and kundalini care for those undergoing the process. You can find it at his site igorkufayev.education. I am so grateful for these rare teachers that speak of kundalini in a way that is actually helpful for us!

    I've tapped into a Kundalini awakening with mystical experiences while meditating on LSD in 2020. The next two and a half years I had to deal with my conditioned feeling of having to prove my self and be successful by whatever metric of success that got programmed into me by society. Now I've reached a point where life is chill even in situations that would have triggered an existential crisis only one year earlier.

    This is a really great talk. Wish I found you a year ago. My first round of kundalini was in 2012, a top down awakening that was gentle and blissful and left me highly psychic and talking to the dead. The past year has been the opposite, tumultuous and dramatic. Luckily, I was lead through it by my higher self through dreams. I found a great Shaman/Jungian analyst, really cleaned up my diet, adopted yoga and breathing processes, lots of psychological healing and much time in nature. My biggest advice is to cherish yourself which might mean removing toxic people and toxic practices from your life. The outcome is self love and peace. God bless you on your process.

    Bonnie provides the clearest, most accurate, and most helpful explanation and information about Kundalini that I have ever come across. Through my own experience, I intuitively pieced together many of the same conclusions she has about Kundalini. Yet, she has put it all into the most concise, accurate, and clear wording which I struggled to do if attempting to explain it to people. Whenever I listen to her, I'm in amazement shaking my head yes, yes, YEESSS! I just wish I could have found her resources back in 2017 when I was going through an absolutely terrifying Kundalini process. Bonnie hits the nail right on the head about everything Kundalini and much much more as well.

    Thank you Bonnie. I’ve been in a long kundalini process for years now. Has been challenging emotionally and physically. The energy is very active whenever I am still and my head turns to the right hand side on its own when I allow the energy to rise. If I’m lying in the bath (which is plastic) the bath creaks as do chair backs!
    I use to think I had a serious illness as is such the weirdest of sensation inside. I have changed so much over the years and kundalini has been showing me the parts of me I need to let go of. Has been very challenging but I truly believe my soul chose for me to heal in this incarnation so I feel deeply blessed.

    For whatever reason when the spontaneous kundalini awakening happened to me (like an explosion) in the spring of 2020 at the beginning of the intensely isolating Covid lockdowns- I was not only cut off from the world but couldn’t even find videos such as this. The experience was magnificently beautiful and also absolutely terrifying (it was triggered by sex and it fuzed me to the other person telepathically regardless of my free will not to stay connected with them ). Soon after I also entered - what I know as “shadow work “ mode on steroids! It was uncomfortable and all false beliefs started to fall away - like a death while still being alive. Seeing all things in their true essence - including other peoples thoughts and processes, everything and everyone was transparent - and then wanting to stop this state of being “electrified “but not being able to!!!
    I also practiced Reiki and meditation regularly for 15 years prior to this experience- AND had no intention or idea to ever have a kundalini “explosion” happen to me- but it did- I would have never chosen this nor would I recommend it lol 😢😅
    This video is excellent!
    One thing I noticed is that nowadays society is definitely not fit for this type of expansiveness

    Wow! Thank you! I was "Re-birthed" on Oct. 25th, 2001. I had no idea "what the hell" I was getting myself into. Even though I felt I definitely had the "Green Light"
    to have this experience, it set off an endless chain reaction of pain - - - grief - - - fear, FEAR and more FEAR!!
    22 years later I am now entering into the understanding that due to this lovely "spiritual awakening" ( I had no idea that would happen), my Kundalini was
    ignited! I've been unraveling this mystery and living with chronic worry and anxiety ever since. Yes, I have gone from teacher to teacher, webinar to webinar, youtube
    video to youtube video to grow, change and HEAL!
    Your words are very crystallizing on this matter of Energetic Kundalini Awakening. I am all alone in my quest. I have never spoken to my friends or family about this
    cuz I don't want them to throw me into a LUNY BIN!
    . . . . thank you for your words. Despite all the daily HELL my life has turned into (I actually moved out to Hollywood to be an actor and eventually a rich celebrity, not to be an "Enlightened" Soul) I continue to press on and take comfort in your words.
    I am so sick of this shit! I really don't think I will be "done" until I DIE!! . . . so I've got that to look forward to!

    this was a wonderful to come to find this.. i had some negative blocks placed in my rising and awakening during my intense KY teacher training program. especially having going through it 1/2 way as Covid broke out. the day after rebrithing and graduation, i fell physically ill and taken by ambulance for kidney stones and vagal nerve damage. its been going on for almost 4 months now. coming to the awareness of how this is due to my intense awakening as my body releases toxins. Ive had to take a break from my practice and working on many shadows that are now rising and working through and embracing the innerchild and clearing. I never expected myself to have a negative awakening, especially while being in a group setting, with very experienced teacher guiding it, but than again, nothing has ever come easy to me. Having decades of PTSD, depression and anxiety, i wasnt aware what i was jumping into. But wow, its definitely an experience on this journey called life. It has chosen me. i look forward to checking out your books. Thank you as i began to understand this process.

    This is spot on. Was doing hardcore Wim Hof and other practices for a year and then during a session I felt an intense heat coming from spine and it rose up and the discs in my spine and hips corrected themselves. Like going to a magical chiropractor. I turned into liquid light for 15 minutes and that feeling lingered for months and had intense lucid dreams and purging of my body. It was a horror show but never felt better. That was 10 years ago and I’m still integrating and it’s quite wierd being around people still. It’s like I’m in constant meditation and observation mode. I’ve tried Ayauasca/LSD/Psilocybin but they don’t really affect me after Kundalini in the same way. I don’t even want to do it anymore as I’m sure I will not be able to stay in the body anymore after such a trip. And I have friends still chasing some highs and doing the 50th Ayauasca and they still don’t get it when I say I’m done, I’m not searching for anything anymore. Just want to enjoy this physical experience as normal as I can but yeah that is quite the challenge 😂

A life-changing process which I will always remember.

    Most practical real life explanation in simple understandable language for highly complex subject. This advice is crucially important to all new age seekers who are facing all types of issues and sufferings, Original scriptures highlight only positive side of the kundalini awakening as those scriptures are thousands of year old. Earth was far more serene and peaceful at that time.

    Thank you, Bonnie. Your books were *extremely* helpful to me 10+ years ago when I had a spontaneous K awakening and didn't know WTH was going on. I wish I could have watched this video then.
    One of the challenges that I had was that mind kept trying to identify the energy as something "alien," something outside of "myself." It did take some time for me to know that, as my teacher suggested, Kundalini is "me."

Thank you so much for this video Bonnie, I was looking for someone to demystify the mystical, It's quite difficult to relate to the Indian teachings if you are living in a different world, in a family setting,,, It's such a lonely journey,,,Thank you so much ❤

      Had my awakening in 2018 as well, thanks for sharing your story, I have to agree her point of view on this subject is very helpful and explained in a modern day language that many of us can understand. I’ve looked at books on kundalini from every angle, many are difficult to interpret, I would recommend you check out “Biology of Kundalini” by Jana Dixon, Bonnie also has another video on CZcams where she speaks at a conference on this subject and does an excellent job, I’d recommend you check that out as well. All the best on your journey 🙏

    After my Kundalini was activated (which made a pop and hissing sound) my body began to spontaneously sway in a snake like motion during my sitting meditation practice. If I do not resist the movements, it will at times force me into strange positions and mudras. What a trip!

      My awakening was similar, Heidi! And, it took me 21 years to understand what exactly it was that happened to me back in 1995. All of those years, I had mistaken my awakening as a Near Death Experience (NDE) as mine was sudden/dramatic and a spontaneous Kundalini Awakening. Wow...how refreshing to have come across a documentary on Kundalini, by chance, one night about 3 years ago! There was my answer!

So I never felt I was really in Kundalini until i heard Adyashanti say that you will either go through the energetic shift in the body/mind before awakening or after, but you will go through it. All this information is so helpful. Namaste'

    Really great explanation. All true and accurate. I like your practical perspective in which you said this process is something to integrate into one's normal life routine, while making room for the process itself, more than getting special powers or authority over others. It simply means a return to true identity. Thanks for knowing and expressing the difficulties involved and mentioning how society isn't prepared to know how to deal with us as pioneers and often try to stop us because they don't want the change we offer them. Finally, thanks for the affirmation that we are doing this as service to humanity in hope of saving life and creating better ways of human culture.

    Thank you Boni, I want to say that although the book of Gopi Krishna helped me the most, nevertheless, at the time when I had this tough awakening 10 years ago, I also got acquainted with your books, leaving good reviews about them. I am sure that the awakening of Kundalini is a new round in human evolution. I myself live in Ukraine, in the Donbass, and even in my town I know several people with the awakened energy of Shakti.
