Kundalini can be activated through Mantra, through Diksha
(or transfer of Divine energy from Guru to disciple), Kriya
Yog, Prannayam, Ras Vigyan (use of holy and mercury) and even
Ayurvedic herbs and potions.
But
the best and the safest way that can be tried by anyone easily
is Mantra Sadhna. When Kundalini is activated there is a tremendous
gush of energy which can cause great harm if not properly channelised
through the body. But the Mantra Sadhana process is a slow and
steady method totally free of such risk. Mantra Sadhna is carried
out under the guidance of a Guru who has full control over the
awakening of Kundalini.
Whatever
the mode of activation a Guru is a must for during the process
as the divine powers in the body come to life they attack the
Sadhak’s weaknesses like greed, jealousy, infatuation, anger,
false ego and other negative traits. Sometimes the struggle between
these positive (Kundalini) and negative energies can be so intense
that a person may lose balance of mind or his evil traits may
appear so magnified to him that he may take to wrong ways in life.
These are the reasons for which make a Guru an essential part
of Kundalini teachings, who will also suggest Guru Mantra Sadhana.
The power of Guru is so strong that it can annihilate all evil
traits of the Sadhak.
There
are different Mantra’s for the activation of the six Chakras.
One should always remember that it is not a miracle that one is
working on, but is a slow and steady process and sometimes it
is only after some months that, one may suddenly become aware
of the awakening of the concerned Chakra. One should hence continue
with Sadhana of other Chakras even if no immediate results seem
forthcoming. Sometimes two or three Chakras have been seen to
be activated all of a sudden at one go.
The
first step for Kundalini activation is taking Guru Diksha and
later praying to the Guru for Kundalini Jagran Diksha (Diksha
for activation of the Kundalini). After this the Guru suggests
certain Mantra Sadhanas through which the Kundalini can be fully
activated.
It
depends on person-to-person how soon Kundalini can be activated.
For some it may take six months to activate and for some it may
take even more. It is not a rule that one can try the Sadhana
of the next Chakra only after the first one has been activated.
One can complete the entire Sadhanas one after the other without
waiting for results.
Fundamental
practices for activation of Kundalini shakti :
-
The aspirant should purify his or her body with the aid of
Neti, Dhyoti and Vasti.
-
After
that, the aspirant should practice eight kinds of Pranayam
(Yogic exercises).
-
After
that the aspirant should learn from his Guru the essential
mudras such as Mahamudra, Mahavedha, Mahabandh, Viparitakarani,
Taran, Paridhan, Yuktichalan and Shaktichalani.
-
The
aspirant, having perfected all Yogic exercises should concentrate
his psyche on "Chakra" according to the method of
‘Raj Yog’.
Some
regular exercises are as follows, which if one does regularly
derives in the early success of activation :
1.
Get up at five in the morning
2. Practice both kinds of Bhrastika Pranayam (fast breathing)
five to twenty five times
3. Practice both kinds of Shaktichalini Mudra five to ten times
4. Practice Taran Mudra with four to hundred & one Pranayam
5. Practice Praridhan Yukti Chalan Mudra
6. At last perform mental exercises of activating ‘Chakra’
In
case one is not able to devote time in the morning, one should
do the following :
1. Mahamudra - Five to twenty five times on each leg
2. Mahabandh - Five to twenty five times on each leg
3. Mahavedh - Both kinds of Mahavedh five to ten times
4. Viparitkarani Mudra - Five to ten times
5. The rest part of the time should be utilised for practice of
activating ‘Chakra’
At the initial
stages an aspirant might experience increased perspiration from
his or her skin but gradually this perspiration will diminish
and there will be a lightening sensation in ones entire body,
after which there is likely to be the movement of ‘Pran
Shakti’ (life force) in the manner of crawling of an ant.
This will be the upliftment of Kundalini Shakti and the activation
of the Muladhar Chakra.
