Does kundalini happen "Just Like That"?
No, of course it not.
It is a process which involves other aspects of us. Like:
- cleaning and clearing the physical body. Purifying it, if you will. This allows prana/life-force/Mauri to flow more freely, in our body, and also in the energy pathways: the meridians and nadis. And this in itself, helps us on our kundalini journey. Some people do extreme measures like long running, fasting, raw foods. But .... no, these are not valid ways to awaken our kundalini. Because they don't build up the spiritual prana layer, and raw foods need energy to digest. Far better to eat pure, vegetarian, cooked foods which are easily digested and also sustain us. We need our body to have to do less work digesting, for our pranic reserves lie behind parts of our digestive system. In a round-about way, this enables our physical prana to build up.
- Purifying the physical body goes hand in hand with mental and emotional purification, meditation being the main practice for this. Seriously, people have a disturbance in their prana, which causes trauma to unfold, because our emotions cover our prana. Or suppressed trauma just reveals itself, and this can happen through so many ways. And this is precisely what many people are mistakenly thinking is "their kundalini". But it's not.
- the chakras involving the spiritual spine (sushumna).I don't see how kundalini can suddenly wake up, and race up the spiritual spine, without one having had chakra awakenings. It just doesn't happen like that. The chakras are definitely part of the kundalini journey
- the prana sheath in our subtle body, which is definitely not our physical body. It is a gateway to kundalini awakening, but generally reveals itself before kundalini erupts inside of us.
- the mind sheath involving memories and impressions in this life, and lives gone by. As well as varying states of deep consciousness. This sheath needs to be able to stream in deep meditation.
Incorrect "knowledge"
But instead, we have people taking drugs and alcohol for years, then finally having a mental, psychotic breakdown and believing that this is a kundalini awakening. People born with mental problems, needing medication, and strongly believing that if they went off them , they could have a kundalini awakening which would "fix" the mental condition.
Lightning zooming up the spine
And there is the aspect of having prana shoot up the spine into the crown. "Oh, I've had a kundalini awakening!!" Not. And yet, this is precisely what people are thinking.
Luckily for me, this happened over fifty years ago, and I had no idea of chakras, kundalini, etc. I just thought, oh how interesting, a bolt of white lightning went up my spine. I could see it, feel it. And I will be honest here. My life changed for ever and a day from that one incident. My emotions, thoughts and behaviour associated with mind and emotions, all became separate. If I was angry, for example, I didn't do angry behaviour. But I was aware, on a different level, that I was angry. It didn't set up a circular pattern of thoughts going around and around. I still got angry, but much less often, and over things that weren't good, like cruelty. I still had tears, but less often. I was still determined, but in a quieter way. I still got very tired, but could ride through it and keep going. I got so strong, mentally and emotionally.
First chakra awakening
How could this all have been? It was because my Muladhara/base Chakra, had awakened, and the inherent qualities within that chakra, had revealed themselves. (I didn't realise that this was what happened, till many years later) And this, dear friends, is another situation whereby people think that they have an awakened kundalini. When, in reality, it's all just beginning.
