â¨â¨đKUNDALINI AWAKENINGđ â¨â¨
A question came up that Iâve gotten several times before, so it inspired me to write this blog post for anyone else who may be wondering the same or something similar about the awakening process.
âQuestion Presented - how long does the kundalini awakening process take?
đMy Answer -
Asking how long the kundalini process takes is a very human question âI understand I was there once too, but awakening is not a human-sized event.
Itâs the entire body, psyche, lineage, and soul reorganizing themselves around more Truth.
Awakening is the soft unraveling of what is not you.
As layers fall away, your natural clarity, intuition, and inner light begin to rise. Your consciousness expands beyond the personality and remembers its connection to Source. It is the return of coherence, clarity, and the true self. A quiet remembering of who youâve always been.
â¨Kundalini Awakening vs. Awakening in General
This is something important to understand:
Not all awakenings begin with a dramatic kundalini surge â and they arenât meant to.
There are two distinct but related experiences:
1. Kundalini Awakening
A physiological and energetic rising of life-force energy through the central channel.
For some people, this is sudden, intense, and unmistakable.
For others, it unfolds subtly, in waves, and may not even be recognized as âkundaliniâ until much later.
2. Awakening (General Spiritual Awakening)
A shift in consciousness, perception, and identity.
A dissolving of old patterns.
A return to truth, intuition, and clarity.
Awakening can begin gently, through grief, insight, synchronicity, exhaustion with old patterns â or the quiet feeling that life is inviting you into something deeper.
Awakening does not require a dramatic kundalini event.
Kundalini may rise within awakening, or sometimes awakening happens first and creates the space for kundalini to rise later.
This is how it unfolded for me.
My awakening did not begin with fireworks.
It began with A Dark Night of the Soul, clearing, remembering, spaciousness, trust, and a deep inward opening.
Kundalini rose gradually and naturally â as a result of awakening, not the cause.
There is no âone wayâ this begins.
All sincere paths are valid.
______
â¨Readiness Not Time
Awakening doesnât run on a timeline â it runs on readiness. For some, it unfolds in a single wave.
For others, it awakens in gentle phases over years.
And for most, itâs not a straight line at all, it happens in layers, cycles, and spirals â
and there can be long periods where nothing seems to be happening at all and periods of intense expansion.
__________
â¨Spaciousness
Awakening follows spaciousness not time, not effort, not forcing. Kundalini begins to move when there is room for it.
Imagine opening your suitcase to bring home beautiful souvenirs, only to find it filled with cinder blocks â old fears, limiting beliefs, inherited stories. Thereâs simply nowhere for anything new to land.
Awakening is less about waiting for a dramatic event and more about clearing what no longer belongs to you, softening what once protected you, and creating space inside your body, mind, and heart. When the weight is removed, the energy doesnât need to be forced or chased â it rises naturally, because there is finally room to breathe.

⨠My Personal Experience
The real shift for me happened naturally. I wasnât trying at all. It actually began with a Dark Night of the Soul. It was challenging, confusing and painful at times.
I moved through stages. Each with its own purpose. Once I was more aware of the depth of what was happening and I loosened the grip that fear had over me. I stopped thinking something was wrong with me. I allowed the process to guide me instead of trying to force it into a box that matched someone elseâs description or experience. It was like a crack formed in a damn and energy began to flow, slowly at first and then more and more the damn opened wider. My curiosity expanded exponentially. It still is to this day. I live and breathe differently because I am different. I remembered who I Am.
Kundalini and awakening in general responds to surrender, safety, and honesty with yourself â not to pressure or expectation.
When I began to examine limiting beliefs, dissolve inherited stories, clear societal stories, healed wounds and traumas, - what Carl Jung coined as - shadow work. When I began to soften pI blossomed like a flower, one petal at a time. There were some moments that were subtle and others that held much more power and intensity. It created a deep internal spaciousness. My Oversoul led and still leads my unfolding. I remembered the language of my Soul and Oversoul.
My kundalini activity arrived gradually, safely, and naturally â
as a result of awakening, not the cause.
For me- awakening isnât a one time event. It is something that continues to unfold overtime. More layers, more insights more connectivity More Of Yourself Rises.
You never arrive. There is no ending point- not in this human life anyway.
Iâm still blossoming but now Iâm more of the full rose bush and not a single flower - iâm entering a new arc now as we speak - even more spacious, able to hold much more energy and light.
Examining old beliefs, honesty with yourself, healing trauma and wounds- itâs not glamorous.
It doesnât look like anyone elseâs path.
You canât be âbehindâ in something thatâs tailor-made for your soul.
đđđThree truths- đđđ
1. Kundalini does not rush. It regulates.
It rises only when the nervous system, emotional body, and soul field can handle the voltage.
2. Your job is not to push; itâs to clear space.
Safety, honesty, grounding, nourishment, and presence accelerate the process more than forcing ever will.
**3. The question isnât âhow long?
Itâs how willing am I to meet myself deeply?â**
Kundalini rises when you rise to meet your own truth.
Kundalini isnât a race or a timeline.
Itâs a relationship.
Awakening us like a slow sun rise- radiant- multi-dimensional - multi faceted - multi colored.
Everyoneâs awakening speaks a different language.

â¨How to Know Which One Youâre Experiencing
Here is a simple way to sense the difference:
You may be experiencing a Kundalini Awakening if:
⢠you feel waves of heat, electricity, or energy rising through the spine
⢠spontaneous movements, breath patterns, or internal pulsing occur
⢠your intuition becomes extremely sharp, quickly
⢠old traumas surface rapidly for release
⢠the body feels like it is reorganizing itself from the inside
⢠energy wakes you up at night or vibrates intensely during meditation
This tends to be physical, energetic, and somatic.
⸝
â¨You may be experiencing a General Spiritual Awakening if:
⢠your perception of life is changing in a deep but gentle way
⢠old stories no longer feel true
⢠you feel drawn inward more than outward
⢠you begin questioning identity, roles, and limiting beliefs
⢠intuition strengthens gradually
⢠your emotional landscape becomes more spacious and aware
⢠you sense a âsoft unfoldingâ rather than a surge
This tends to be psychological, emotional, and consciousness-based.
⸝
⨠Many people experience both â but in different sequences.
Some have a kundalini surge first
and awakening follows.
Others awaken first
and kundalini rises later, once the inner landscape is ready.
Some never have a dramatic rise at all
but live a deeply awakened life.
There is no hierarchy.
No right way.
No timeline.
Only your way.
Your awakening will unfold at the exact pace your system can hold without breaking.
You cannot be âbehindâ in a process designed uniquely for your soul.
______
â¨Not Everyone Awakens in This Lifetime â And Thatâs Not a Failure
One of the most important truths to understand is this:
Awakening is not guaranteed in every lifetime â
and it is not required for a life to be meaningful, worthy, or whole.
We each incarnate with different intentions, lessons, and soul-level agreements.
Some lives are for growth.
Some are for rest.
Some are for healing lineage patterns.
Some are for learning love.
Some are simply for being human.
And some are for awakening.
Not everyone will experience a dramatic shift in consciousness in this lifetime â
and that is not a sign of being âless evolvedâ or âbehind.â
There is no hierarchy in the soul.
There is only evolution at the pace that is right for each being.
Awakening is not a reward.
Itâs a calling.
A timing.
A readiness.
Some people awaken because their soul planned it.
Some because life cracked them open.
Some because they have completed enough cycles to finally remember who they are.
And some because the field guides them there.
But others are guided differently â toward stability, family, compassion, or quiet service.
Their path is just as sacred.
No way is better or worse.
Only guided.
Only aligned with the soulâs deeper purpose.
When you understand this, the pressure dissolves.
You stop trying to force people to âwake up.â
You stop comparing your path to theirs.
And you begin to trust that every person is exactly where they need to be in this lifetime â even if it doesnât look awakened from the outside.
Awakening is beautiful.
But so is a life lived with kindness, integrity, and love with no awareness of the larger
Expanded part of themselves.
Both serve the whole.
đClosing Reflection
Awakening is not the moment the energy rises â itâs the moment you rise to meet yourself.
Some paths ignite like lightning.
Some bloom like dawn and some stay as quiet seeds that never blossom at all.
All are held, guided, and timed by a wisdom far older than the mind.
Trust the spaciousness forming inside you.
Trust the pace that feels like breath, not pressure.
Your light knows the way home.
There are thousands of rivers that lead to the One Infinite Ocean.
With love and clarity
