Spiritual awakening or Kundalini activation is a journey that not only transforms the way we perceive the world but also leads to a profound transformation of our soul, body, and mind. It is a journey that touches the deepest layers of our existence and leaves an imprint on every sphere of our lives. Spiritual awakening is like a silent melody that begins to resonate within us, gradually gaining strength until it becomes an irresistible call to something greater and more authentic.
This is not a fleeting impulse or fascination—it is a process that flows through our lives like an unstoppable stream, reshaping our hearts, thoughts, and bodies. During awakening, we feel our senses sharpen, and our awareness begins to extend beyond the boundaries we once considered obvious and undeniable. We start noticing things we previously overlooked—in people, in nature, and in everyday moments that suddenly take on deeper meaning.
The world begins to appear in a new light, as if we had worn a veil over our eyes for years, and now someone is slowly lifting it, revealing a vast, beautiful, and diverse reality where every element has its place and purpose. We feel that we are part of something greater, that everything is interconnected, and that there is an invisible thread linking us to the world around us.
This inner transformation unfolds in five stages, guiding us from longing to harmony and integration. Each of these stages is like a step along a path into the unknown. Each has its unique challenges, emotions, and experiences that shape us on a profound level. This is not an easy or quick journey; it requires patience, determination, and a willingness to embrace all aspects of ourselves—the beautiful and the painful, those hidden in shadow.
Throughout this journey, we may feel like we are on an emotional rollercoaster, where one experience brings us euphoria, while the next throws us into a whirlwind of uncertainty and fear. Yet, it is precisely in those moments of feeling lost that we find the gateways to the greatest discoveries.
Each phase of this journey is filled with unforgettable moments of revelation and discovery. These are moments when we feel truly alive—when our hearts race as we experience something extraordinary, something that is difficult to put into words but leaves a deep mark on our soul.
We discover who we truly are, and each realization is like a small piece of a puzzle that completes our picture of the world. We begin to understand that everything we experience—every joy, every tear, every moment of doubt—has its place on our path. And that every step, no matter how difficult, brings us closer to harmony and integration.
The path of spiritual awakening is not just a journey toward deeper awareness but also a return to ourselves, to a place that has always been within us but may have remained dormant, lost in the chaos of daily life. As we move through each stage, we learn to trust this journey and accept it as it is—with all its ups and downs.
This is a journey without an end, where every experience is a step closer to greater understanding and unity. Spiritual awakening is an invitation to dare to see ourselves and the world differently—more deeply, fully, and authentically. Anyone who embarks on this journey is forever transformed, discovering within themselves an inexhaustible source of love, wisdom, and peace that guides them toward harmony and freedom.
Phase 1 of Spiritual Awakening: The Search for a Path
The search is nothing less than an awakening from a long slumber, where everything seemed clear and orderly—until suddenly, a quiet voice emerges, a timid yet irresistible call from the depths of the soul. It feels like a gentle trembling in the heart, a sensation whispering, “There is more,” “What I thought was reality is not everything.” We begin to realize that the world we know is merely a shadow, a reflection of something far greater—something that captures our attention more and more, even if for years we may have ignored this voice, caught up in the rush of daily routines and obligations. Yet, there comes a moment when the mundane loses its luster, and our heart begins to yearn for something it cannot yet name.
The Longing for Home
This inner longing is piercing and relentless—it cannot be silenced or satisfied with material achievements, success, or the approval of others. We feel an emptiness deep within, a void that nothing external can fill. It is like the soul’s call, reminding us that once, long ago, it knew another reality—a complete, safe existence filled with love. Now, this longing begins to awaken within us, a profound desire to find the inner peace that cannot be sourced from the outside world.
“Clouds that rise from the earth
And drift in the golden glow of the sun,
Ah, they seem to me
Like the wings of my longing.”
– A. Asnyk
Seeking and Exploring
Seeking is like a light at the end of a tunnel, ignited when we begin to notice that our life feels incomplete, that something fundamental is missing. At this stage, we become more aware of our emotions and reactions. We start observing ourselves and our lives in ways we previously lacked the courage to explore. Asking questions that once terrified us with their raw honesty now becomes an act of bravery. Questions that probe the very core of our existence: “Who am I?” “What am I doing here?” “What is my true purpose?”
In this search, we discover that our existing definitions of self, our roles, and the masks we wear are merely thin layers.
At this stage, we learn to remove these masks, one by one, and stand before the mirror to see our true face. This is a liberating but also painful process, as we realize how much of our lives we’ve spent creating facades to fit societal, familial, or relational expectations. Now, we begin to ask ourselves: “Who am I when I strip away all the masks?” This question opens the door to deeper understanding but requires courage to face ourselves without embellishments or excuses.
The Journey Within
The spiritual search is like a voyage into the depths of the self—a journey into the unknown, where the unseen begins to manifest in subtle yet undeniable ways. With each step, we open ourselves to exploring a new world—not one that lies outside of us, but one within. This journey demands complete dedication and a willingness to embrace the unknown.
In seeking, we learn that true wisdom cannot be found in books but only through personal experience—deep, transformative moments that change us from within.
Every step, every new insight, brings us closer to the understanding that home is not a place but a state of being. It is a state where we find profound peace and harmony with ourselves, where we stop seeking happiness externally and begin to uncover it within. Home is the place we return to when we are united with our true nature—in a state of love and inner wholeness.
This is about rediscovering ourselves anew, in every moment, in every experience. It is a journey back to the home that has always been within us, waiting for our awakening and return.
Phase 2 of Spiritual Awakening: Activation
After passing through the gateway of seeking, new dimensions open before us. We enter the phase of activation—a time when the dormant energy within us begins to awaken with incredible power. This is the moment when our inner strength becomes tangible, and we start to feel its flow throughout our body. The activation phase is like igniting a fire that burns away everything misaligned with our true essence. This fire destroys old thought patterns, beliefs, and emotions that have accumulated in our hearts and minds over the years, preventing us from living fully.
This phase is intense and demanding because it forces us to confront inner pain, traumas, and emotions that have been deeply buried. It is a moment when we can no longer run away from ourselves. Our body and soul undergo a process of transformation, and we feel how our energy breaks through invisible barriers that have held us back. It’s a time when every atom of our being vibrates and changes, as old structures crumble before our eyes to make space for the new.
The Goddess Kali and Spiritual Awakening
The symbolism of the goddess Kali, the deity of destruction and transformation, becomes key in this phase. Kali is the force that destroys everything no longer needed so that a new quality of existence can emerge. It is destruction in its purest and most creative sense—a dissolution that leads to authenticity, allowing us to return to our true nature. Kali embodies the courage required to face our shadows and let them burn in the fire of awakening. Her energy flows through our body and soul, clearing the past to prepare space for new experiences and deeper understanding.
Experiencing Activation
During activation, energy moves through our body and begins to work on emotional and mental levels. We experience moments of intense energy flow, manifesting in various ways. For some, it feels ecstatic, almost mystical—a surge of strength and joy that fills the body and mind. For others, it is a time of deep silence and inner peace, as though everything has suddenly calmed, enveloping them in a soothing presence. Each person experiences this phase uniquely, but the common thread is a profound connection with the inner energy that awakens to transform us.
This phase can bring both euphoric and painful states. During intense energetic sessions, we may feel our body contracting as the energy breaks through old blockages that have held us back from fully living. It’s important to remember that transformation isn’t always easy—old emotions, memories, and traumas may surface, requiring us to face them in order to release them. This is a painful yet liberating process. With every step, we feel layers of limitations falling away, leaving us lighter and more authentic.
The energy of activation often works subtly but with deep transformative power. Sometimes, we may not notice immediate effects, yet we sense a subtle influence that permeates our entire being. It feels like a gentle vibration passing through our cells, changing us on levels we may not always be consciously aware of. Trusting this process is crucial, even if the results are not instantly visible. Transformation often happens in silence, beyond our conscious perception, yet its impact can be felt long after the session ends. This inner work we undergo becomes the foundation for a new life gradually taking shape.
Surrendering to the Process
Activation is the moment when we dare to fully experience ourselves. During this time, it’s essential to maintain openness and curiosity. As energy flows through us, it opens doors to new perspectives, new experiences, and new states of being. We don’t need to understand everything that happens; it is enough to trust the process. The activation phase is like an initiation—a crossing of a threshold into deeper understanding and authentic freedom.
Sometimes, we feel this energy as a vast, overflowing love; at other times, as an intense fire that knows no boundaries. In every form, it is an expression of life in its purest state.
The Transformational Fire
By the end of this phase, we feel our inner strength growing, aligning us more deeply with ourselves and the world around us. We are ready for what the next stage brings—the phase of cleansing and even deeper transformation. Activation is the first step toward awakening the full power within us. It is the moment we begin to truly live, to become aware, and to prepare ourselves for the further stages of our spiritual journey.
“One must die to be reborn.”
Phase 3 of Spiritual Awakening: Cleansing
The cleansing phase is like an alchemical burning away of everything that does not serve our true growth—everything that has accumulated over the years like layers of dust on our soul and within our ancestral line. It is a time when our entire being is forced to confront the past and everything that still holds us back from fully blossoming. This is the moment when the deepest corners of our memories, hidden emotions, pains, and traumas rise to the surface, demanding healing. In this phase, we come face-to-face with ourselves and the past from which we can no longer run.
Cleansing is not just a mental process—it is a state in which our entire body begins to respond, expressing what has been trapped within us for a long time, often invisible and buried deep beneath the surface. Healing symptoms are a natural part of this stage. We may experience physical ailments: vomiting, diarrhea, sore throat, rashes. Just like the soul, the body is forced to release the accumulated emotional baggage that suppressed the flow of energy, restricted us, and created blockages that now need to be removed so we can fully awaken.
The Body as a Book of Our Experiences
In this phase, we learn that our body is like a book in which all our experiences and emotions are recorded. Anger, sadness, frustration, fear—these emotions that we once repressed now rise to the surface, often with extraordinary force. Each painful emotion is like an echo of past events that have been waiting for this moment to be released. We can no longer hide from what is uncomfortable—we must confront every aspect of ourselves, every part of our story that was rejected or unwanted. Yet, it is this confrontation, as difficult and painful as it may be, that gives us the opportunity for liberation.
Cleansing is like being in a cocoon—a space where we retreat to undergo deep inner transformation. Like a caterpillar hiding in its cocoon, we find ourselves in a state of suspension where the past seems irretrievably behind us, and the future is not yet visible. This time of withdrawal and isolation, where it feels like we are losing everything we once knew and were, is essential for rediscovering ourselves and emerging fully transformed. In the cocoon, we encounter emptiness and solitude but also the hope of a new life.
Shedding Illusions and Embracing Freedom
This is the moment when the light of our soul begins to illuminate everything that is not true—all illusions, deceptions, false beliefs, and habits are exposed. This light leaves no room for hiding, compelling us to examine our lives without embellishment or excuses. Yet, in this full confrontation, amidst the pain and understanding, we find freedom. Through this process, we come to know ourselves in ways that were previously inaccessible and begin to see who we truly are when we shed all our masks.
How is Cleansing Felt Physically?
The physical symptoms of cleansing reflect the deep processes happening within us. It can feel as though our body is going through a storm, expelling everything that is no longer needed. Headaches, fevers, and intense fatigue are just some of the ways our body reacts to the process of deep release and transformation. It’s important to allow ourselves rest and to listen to the needs of our body, as it becomes our guide in this journey, leading us through each layer of cleansing.
During this phase, we may feel as though we are teetering on the edge—becoming someone new while simultaneously losing what we thought was part of us. Old patterns that no longer serve our highest good must be released. This is a time of intense emotional release, sometimes expressed through tears, screams, or silence and introspection. It is crucial to allow ourselves to feel every emotion that arises and to embrace it without judgment, knowing that each moment of cleansing brings us closer to true freedom.
The Lightness After Cleansing
At the end of this phase, even though we may feel physically exhausted, we experience a profound sense of inner breath and relief. We have shed part of the burden we carried for years, and while the future still lies ahead, we step into it lighter, more authentic, and more open to what is to come. Cleansing allows us to reach the essence of our being, to that depth where we find true peace and freedom.
The Gateway to Higher Awareness
The cleansing phase is essential for ascending to a higher level of consciousness. As we let go of the weights that constrained our energy, we begin to experience life more fully and deeply. We step into a state where we no longer cling to the past but embrace each new day with gratitude and openness. The future, though unknown, no longer frightens us, and we become conscious creators of our reality, ready for the next stages of our journey.
Phase 4 of Spiritual Awakening: Transformation
After the long and intense phase of cleansing, when our body, mind, and soul are ready to receive a new quality of energy, we enter the stage of transformation. This is a moment of profound inner change, where our consciousness begins to bloom like a flower, revealing new dimensions of existence. Transformation is a state of rebirth, where, like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, we awaken anew—full of life, power, and boundless freedom.
In this state, we start to feel an incredible peace flowing through our body and mind. It is a deep, soothing silence that we may never have experienced before—a tranquility that fills our heart to the brim with love and gratitude. We rediscover ourselves, sensing how our heart opens to the immense potential for love that we carry within. This is the moment when all the limitations that once bound us seem to dissolve, and we uncover who we truly are, what our deepest desires are, and what our mission and gifts to the world might be.
Synchronicity and Support from the Universe
In this phase, revelations become a daily companion. We begin to notice how the Universe supports us at every step. Synchronicities—those magical coincidences—start to appear more frequently, as if invisible forces were guiding us by the hand toward our destiny. Each day is filled with signs pointing us in the right direction, whispering what to do, where to go, and what to say. This feeling is like a warm embrace, reminding us that we are not alone and that the entire Universe is conspiring for our growth.
Emerging from the Cocoon
Transformation resembles the moment a butterfly emerges from its cocoon, as we begin to feel a new quality of life filling our body, mind, and spirit. Our abilities, talents, and passions—once hidden—now start to manifest. We feel creativity flowing from the depths of our heart, carried by an energy that is like a powerful, unrestricted, and free stream. In this phase, we discover capacities we never dreamed of. This is also often the time when our body opens to a new potency of sexual energy, which becomes not only a source of joy and pleasure but also inspiration and creative drive.
Sexual Energy as Healing Energy
The sexual energy that begins to reawaken in this phase is like a vital force, filling us with joy, euphoria, and a sense of wholeness. In this phase, we learn to use this energy as fuel that drives our creativity, inspiration, and passion. It is a flow that is no longer constrained by fear or shame. We feel our entire body vibrating, as if ready to explode with the intensity of this energy. This sensation transcends the physical—it is an energy that flows through every level of our being, from the body to the mind and soul. We feel empowered to create, express ourselves, and manifest in ways that are entirely aligned with our essence.
Unleashing Boundless Potential
Transformation is the moment we discover our wings and begin to fly, exploring the limitless possibilities that open before us. It is a time when our deepest dreams and desires can manifest because our consciousness is fully aligned with our true self. We feel ready for anything—for fulfilling our dreams, for living fully, for exploring the world with a fresh perspective. In this state of mind and spirit, everything feels possible. We realize that we can shape our reality, becoming the creators of our own life, which gives us a profound sense of freedom and fulfillment.
How is Inner Transformation Experienced?
During transformation, we experience unity with ourselves and the Universe. Our heart, body, and soul become one. This is a feeling of deep harmony where every part of us resonates with the rest of existence. All inner divisions and conflicts disappear, and we find true peace. It is the moment when we stop searching for meaning outside ourselves, as we discover that everything we have ever longed for is already within us. We begin to cherish every day, every moment, finding joy in life and gratitude for who we are and the journey we’ve traveled.
Gratitude and Self-Acceptance
The transformation phase is a time of deep gratitude. We recognize that everything we have experienced so far had a purpose. We understand that every pain and every experience was part of our growth process. In this phase, we start viewing our life through the lens of love and acceptance. We feel like we have come home, having found what we have been searching for all our lives—even if we couldn’t define it before. Now, after this intense journey, we can say that we know ourselves and have been reborn, filled with light, power, and deep love for ourselves and life.
Infinite Inner Strength
In this state of transformation, we discover that our inner strength is limitless. Each day brings new revelations, new discoveries. With each passing moment, we become more authentic and more true to ourselves. Transformation is the culmination of everything we’ve worked for—a new chapter where we fully embrace who we are and live with a profound sense of purpose, freedom, and harmony.
Phase 5 of Spiritual Awakening: Harmony and Integration
The final phase of spiritual awakening feels like a deep breath after a long and arduous journey. It is a time when our soul, mind, and body merge into a cohesive whole. In this phase, we experience the full integration of everything we have discovered, learned, and transformed in the previous stages. It is a moment of harmony, where we find our unique melody, and our life begins to flow effortlessly, as if we are immersed in an endless dance with the Universe.
This is a stage where our body and soul are fully cleansed, and energy flows freely through us without resistance or blockages. The physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of our being unite, leaving us feeling stable, balanced, and filled with inner peace. It is a state where our experiences—both joyful and challenging—come together to form a complete picture of our spiritual journey. All the lessons we’ve gathered along the way become the foundation for building a new, more conscious life. No longer do we divide reality into “better” or “worse” experiences; everything becomes part of a beautiful pattern we now see in full clarity.
Life in Flow
In this phase, we discover what it truly means to live in flow. Each day brings new opportunities and challenges, which we embrace with open arms, no longer resisting what comes our way. We begin to realize that flow is a state of total acceptance, deep presence, where everything that happens has its place and purpose. It feels as though life is no longer happening to us, but for us, with every moment serving as a step toward our highest purpose. We immerse ourselves in the present, ready to receive whatever the Universe brings, treating each moment as a gift and a precious lesson that leads us to a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world.
Harmony and integration bring a state where we no longer feel the need to control the future, knowing that everything is exactly as it should be. We move through life with ease, as if guided by an invisible force that unerringly shows us the way. We begin to feel that we are part of something greater—a vast web of existence in which every element has its place and meaning. It is a feeling of deep connection with the Universe, where every thought, word, and action creates a ripple that resonates throughout all of reality.
The Joy of Living in Alignment with Our Essence
In this phase, we discover the joy of living in alignment with our essence. We feel inspiration flowing from the deepest layers of our soul, creating not to achieve success or recognition but to express ourselves and manifest the love we carry within. Our actions are full of passion, and each day is infused with creative energy that pulses in harmony with our heart. We follow an inner compass that always leads us toward truth, freedom, and wholeness. Whatever we do becomes an expression of our being, and life ceases to be a series of random events, instead becoming a beautiful dance where every movement is significant.
A New Chapter of Being
Life in harmony and integration is not the end of the journey but the beginning of a new chapter—a chapter where we feel whole, complete, and yet open to what lies ahead. As we move through new experiences, we learn to embrace life fully, without fear or doubt. Each day invites us to rediscover ourselves, to find beauty in every moment, every encounter, every smile. We live in a state of total acceptance, where the past, present, and future merge into one, and we feel that we are exactly where we are meant to be.
In this phase, we realize that we are one with the Universe. It is a feeling of completeness and peace that allows us to experience life as an endless journey. We understand that we no longer need to chase any specific goal because the journey itself is the goal, and every experience is a step toward deeper understanding and unity. We stop judging our lives in terms of success or failure, recognizing that everything we go through has its place in a greater plan. This feeling is like coming home—a home that has always been within us, a place where we can be ourselves, without masks, without fear, in full acceptance of who we are and of life itself.
Fulfillment from Within
Harmony and integration bring a sense of fulfillment that cannot be found in the external world. It is a peace that comes from a deep understanding that we are beings of love, wisdom, and power, and that everything we seek is already within us. Each day, each moment, becomes a blessing, a gift we accept with gratitude. And while our journey never truly ends, we know we can move forward with ease, joy, and complete trust in ourselves and the Universe.
This is life in flow, where every moment is a new beginning, a new opportunity, a new chance to discover the truth about ourselves.
Living in Harmony
In this final phase, we discover that living fully means embracing each moment, no matter what it brings. We are ready to welcome everything that comes our way, knowing that every moment is part of a greater whole. Harmony and integration are not an end but a return to our purest nature, to our essence. Filled with gratitude and love, we are prepared for the next stages, knowing that our journey never truly ends—it is an eternal exploration, an eternal return to the home we carry within.
