Kundalini Awakening
This is Part 2 of 3. Click here to read Part 1.
As described last week, all organisms experience significant physical transformations during their lifetimes, such as metamorphosis in insects or puberty in mammals.
Humans, like other animals, undergo similar transformations, but may experience an additional one known as a Kundalini Awakening.
You can imagine each of your body’s cells as an intelligent lightbulb of sorts. Energy comes in → does some fancy chemistry stuff → emits light → produces waste → and then needs to rest and recharge before illuminating again.
Unlike a standard lightbulb, though, cells are wildly intelligent. Their hardware and software literally update in response to recurring stimuli.
Take running, weight-lifting, or Zumba-ing. After consistent training — multiple days of flexing and relaxing specific muscles to the point of exhaustion — your muscle cells get the message and literally reconfigure themselves to handle the higher demand.
In other words, your cells are constantly rebuilding and recoding themselves **to adapt to their situation!
A Kundalini Awakening is this rebuilding and recoding process on steroids.
It occurs when a vast amount of previously-trapped energy in your tailbone rises through your chakras. During its ascent, it clears out accumulated physical, emotional and psychic debris, and upgrades your entire nervous system to withstand incredible amounts of energy.
In other words, a Kundalini Awakening revamps your spinal cord, brain and hormonal glands so that you may perceive subtler, “higher-vibrational” realities.
Interestingly, unlike puberty, a Kundalini Awakening does not happen to everyone — it is reserved for those who desire to lift their consciousness and enter the next phase of human evolution.

What does “good vibes” really mean?
You may have heard the phrases “good vibes”, “bad vibes”, “high vibes”, or “low vibes” floating out there on the internet — but what do they mean?
Vibe is short for vibration, which refers to the periodic motion of an object around an equilibrium point.
Vibrations have three main qualities to them: amplitude (strength), frequency (speed), and direction.
In this context, then, for something or someone to have “good vibes” means that it exists at:
A Larger Equilibrium Point (Higher Energetic Calibration)
A Faster Frequency (More Oscillations Per Unit Time)
A Lower Amplitude (Less Fluctuation Between Energy States)
Applied in a Positive Direction (Towards Coherence and Unity).
Now before we get on our high horse to determine whether we are of a better vibration than someone else, let it be known: there is no such thing as an “objectively ideal vibration”. This is a label the ego mind uses to further separate itself.
That said, according to this definition the “highest” or “best vibe” one can attain looks like a straight line at the top of the energy scale.
Subjectively, the difference between having huge fluctuations at the bottom of the graph and having tiny, quick fluctuations at the top of the graph is worlds apart.
It is the difference between pure ecstasy, and bouncing between feelings of shame, grief, and lust.
It is the difference between being in unconditional love, and being in constant terror for what the next moment might bring.
It is the difference between feeling One with the Universe, and feeling separate from all that is.

There’s a fine line between assuming something and attaching to that assumption.
You assume the recipe will work, so you follow it step-by-step. This is fine. But if you are disappointed when it doesn’t look like the picture, it shows that you were attached to your idea of success.
You assume the United States will be intact by the time you are 80, so you start saving for retirement in your 30s. This is fine. But if you are devastated when the market crashes and you lose your life savings it highlights your attachment to the end-of-life vision you had for yourself.
You assume the date went well, so you invite them out again. This is fine. But if you are upset when they don’t text you back it is apparent that you became attached to your fantasies of what could be.
In all situations, suffering arises as a result of your assuming reality will be exactly as you would have it, rather than it being what it is, and then demanding that it be other.
Again, “don’t make assumptions” doesn’t mean “don’t make plans,” “don’t hope things go smoothly,” or “don’t trust your instincts”. It simply recommends that you be open to reality changing course, as your desires may be born out in a way you could not possibly anticipate or plan for.
