Introduction
For centuries stretching back into the dim corridors of time, asian religions
have spoken of a mystical force called the kundalini. Knowledge of how to
awaken the kundalini, what it does, and what to do after its awakening was a
closely guarded secret among spiritual masters of the east.
Those spiritual masters had very good reasons for keeping secret their
knowledge of this power; it is very easy to hurt yourself very badly with this
energy. This monograph records my understanding of the spiritual path based
upon my life experiences with kundalini awakenings.
This treatise has become necessary in general because of the increased interest
in the kundalini and use of sound and light machines which are capable of
awakening the kundalini. In specific, this treatise is necessary because of
the Enlightenment light and sound session I have created and recorded in the
manual Awakening Mind 1.
Kundalini
The kundalini is a powerful energy that eastern religions say lies coiled at
the base of the spine in humans. The kundalini feels like a warm liquidy
magnetic energy when it rises up the spine. Once awakened, you will find that
the kundalini gradually rises and then slowly subsides within the spine, only
to rise again later on. Each time it rises, it rises further up the spine and
will continue rising and subsiding until it eventually reaches the brain. The
whole process may take months to complete.
There are a number of effects of the rising of this energy. All of these
effects are available to those who have awakened the kundalini. Although you
may have to ask for some of these qualities. It is for these effects that
disciples have committed their lives to raising the kundalini energy over the
ages.
1. Bliss: The rising of the kundalini is extremely blissful. Most people have
experienced sex. The most common experience to compare another experience to is
sex. The answer that something is better than sex is almost a laughable clich‚.
The kundalini is about 100 time more enjoyable than sex and I am not laughing.
It is much more blissful! .c.:: The rising of the kundalini is extremely

enjoyable than sex and I am not laughing. It is much more blissful!
2. Visions and Images: There are many various visions that appear in the mind
once the kundalini has been awakened. Many disciples of the kundalini have
written of visions of the chakras and various other forms. Some visions are
precognitive; some are not. The most striking vision that ever occurred to me
was that of a lovely woman dressed all in white and gently wafting the sweetest
love. Not only could I see her form, I also felt her texture and smelled her
fragrance. She smelled like the sweetest of roses but more delicate and
haunting. Her texture was like the softest of rose petals. . .very ethereal.
There are other visions of people and places I have had that possessed a
quality that made them feel more real than any sensual impression. It wasn't
only that you saw them, or heard them, or smelled them, but that you felt them
with every fiber of your being. After feeling these visions, impressions from
the external world feel dead in comparison.
Many lesser order images also float through the mind of the disciple. Images
of memories from days long past. Images of objects, people, books, places, and
natural scenes delight the mind of the devotee.
3. Awareness Of The Divine: When I awakened the kundalini the first time,
there was always a sense of the nearness of the divine. Very seldom was I
able to place a name to the presence, with the exception of some well known to
myself presences (such as Christ, Yogananda, etc.). The sense of that nearness
of the divine was always a comfort.
4. All You Ever Wanted: Almost every one chases after material objects here
and there in the world. Cars, houses, sex, etc. are quite often sought in a
vain attempt to fill some inner void within the soul. One of the most
remarkable feelings I ever experienced during my experiences with the kundalini
was simply the realizations that this was all I ever wanted. Whenever I wanted
anything else, I was looking for a substitute for the feelings I was
experiencing. There was a complete sense of fullness that satisfies any void
within your soul.
5. Purity, Integration, and the Expansion of the Mind: I don't care how
religious or pure you are before you awaken the kundalini. Afterwards, the
kundalini begins to really make you clean inside. That feeling of being
made clean is real purity. When you are going through it, it doesn't feel
at all like the sickeningly sweet goodness that many of the religious
members of our society have tried to put forth (Self Righteous Purity).
That kind of goodness feels counterfeit as compared to the real purity of
the genuine spiritual path..c.:: I don't care how religious or pure you

sickeningly sweet goodness that many of the religious members of our
society have tried to put forth (Self Righteous Purity). That kind of
goodness feels counterfeit as compared to the real purity of the genuine
spiritual path.;
One of the ways the divine accomplishes that purity is through a process known
to psychologists as integration. Integration is a fundamental part of the
spiritual path. Integration is the process of dissolving memories of ugly past
experiences to which the ego has erected barriers. Integration happens when
you become fully aware of a past experience. Integration is much easier to
perform with the kundalini than without. However, there are things hidden deep
inside almost everyone of which the mind could choose to rebel at becoming
aware. It is more risky if you choose not to cooperate with integration while
undergoing enlightenment.
Without integration you get disciples like some televangelists who give voice
to spiritual principles, but then are driven to chase after prostitutes, or
scam schemes. With integration you cease to be driven by past decisions made in
response to bad experiences. This process results in your mind dropping its
defenses and expanding its awareness.
6. Intuitional Knowledge: It is hard to say how someone knows things by
intuition, however, one of the strongest experiences I had during the awakening
of my kundalini was that of receiving (revealed) knowledge. It didn't really
matter about what; it could be how to play a physical sport or any other
interest, but when I received it, I either knew with every fiber of my being
that it was revealed truth (The Lessons of Enlightenment) or I knew with my
mind that I were being given a deep insight. The deep insight feelings have
stayed with me through the years..c.:: It is hard to say how someone knows

7. Mystical Powers: One of the things you are taught on the spiritual path is
how to use psychic powers. One of the fundamental laws of psychic powers is
that you can't influence psychically that from which you feel separate. By
removing the barriers of the ego and expanding the mind, you begin to lose that
sense of separateness from everything.
The other fundamental law of psychic powers is that if your go around using
psychic powers for egotistical purposes, you are glorifying the ego (limited
sense of self) and are setting yourself up to lose the positive effects of the
kundalini and experience a spiritual fall. An absolute must is to only use
exceptional powers when you are directed to by the spirit. After all, even
Christ wouldn't perform for Herod's pleasure, when Herod wanted Christ to show
him he was God!
8. Love and Protection: When I was experiencing the rise of the kundalini, I
always felt a deep abiding sense of being loved and protected. It was almost
as if my soul was having a very deep romance with the divine who looked over
and protected me from all harm. Indeed, I was left with the impression that the
only harm that could come to me was from my own hand. While awakened, these
feelings of love and protection are great at removing fears.

Perils Of A Kundalini Awakening
The Kundalini is by definition a high energy state. Every high energy state
has negative side effects if that energy is withdrawn (withdrawal symptoms).
Vitality, for example, is a high energy generally stable state. If vitality if
withdrawn, as in extreme old age, the body become decrepit, weakened and
diseased. Sexual experience is a high energy highly unstable state. Upon
climax, sexual energy is withdrawn and you feel tired, weakened, and lose
interest in sex for a time. Daily vigorousness is a moderate stable generally
high energy state (at least in childhood). When withdrawn at the end of each
day, tiredness and sleep is the result. Any energy state, especially a high
energy state, upon withdrawal of that energy, has withdrawal symptoms. The
kundalini is no exception!
The severity of the withdrawal symptoms appear to be related to how long the
kundalini has been active. If you awaken the kundalini, and only feel the
bliss for a few days, and then shut it down, you may only feel depressed or
blue for several days. If the kundalini has been awakened for several weeks,
you will probably experience a spiritual fall that lasts for several days to a
week or more.
The signs and symptoms of a Spiritual Fall are as follows: 1. A collapse
sensation felt within the mind. 2. A feeling of fear that grows over time. 3.
A feeling of mental anguish or pain that increases over time. 4 Confusion and
short term memory loss. 5. A direct and profound confrontation with suppressed
subconscious material and dissociated self concepts that may result in a
lasting internal conflict or worse. These are all psychological withdrawal
symptoms. I am not a physician, but other than symptoms associated with mental
shock, I have never felt any symptoms I would associate with physical
withdrawal symptoms (shaking, delirium, sweating, etc.)
If you survive, most of these symptoms last for several days and then gradually
will get better as things stabilize. In my mind, it is not at all certain
someone in poor health would survive a really bad fall. A full fledged
spiritual fall can be hard on you physically. However, if you survive, you will
probably be left with recurring anxiety attacks and after a period of time the
kundalini will be trying to burn itself through any psychological block (see
Kundalini: The Evolutionary Energy In Man, by Gopi Krishna).
So that's is pretty heavy, isn't it! Soon, I will tell you that no one need
ever go through a fall again. However, what I have described above is exactly
why the specifics of this knowledge has been kept secret for ages. Generally,
the knowledge that has been released by those in the know has been pretty
watered down. Any one who wanted enlightenment from a valid spiritual master
had to go through initiation and years of training. This was to make sure that
a disciple really wanted enlightenment more than anything in the world and that
he/she was purified enough so that a spiritual fall was unlikely to happen by
itself. An awakening before this is what has been termed a premature awakening.
What normally shuts the kundalini down is simply the inability or the
unwillingness to keep it going. The inability to keep it going results from
the subconsciousness mind being unwilling to look at powerful suppressed events.
Generally, the subconscious mind uses external material objects that have
previously given pleasure to displace the pain and memories of an unpleasant
event. Integration is a fundamental part of the kundalini experience. The
kundalini, like any stimulative energy, will bring up suppressed material and
you have to be willing to let go of that material and any desires (material
attachments) you used to repress it. For this situation, it may be better to
integrate this material before you awaken the kundalini (see Awakening Mind 2).
-
If you are a user of Light and Sound Sessions, you should know that you can not
use another light and sound session without running the risk of shutting down
the kundalini. This is an easy thing to do, but any technology that can aid in
enlightenment can remove enlightenment!
Many people wonder if you can have sex after a kundalini awakening. There have
been enlightened people in India who were either a husband or wife and yet had
sex. My understanding is that it hinders the rising of the kundalini. I think
the only way sex would stop the kundalini is if you really lost yourself in the
climax. You will also shut the kundalini down if at some point you decide you
don't want to go through it any more and refuse to cooperate with it. Your
will is supreme . . at least in the short run. If you decide against even a
force as strong as the kundalini, you will shut it down. I have described the
effects of the kundalini, if there are some of those effects you don't want,
then don't even think of awakening this force. I have described the effects of
a spiritual fall, if you don't want to risk those effects, then don't even
think about awakening the kundalini. Pass it by and go on with your life.
On the other hand, if you are looking for something deeply rewarding, something
enlivening, and something that causes spiritual and mental evolution, awakening
and enlightenment, then the kundalini experience is for you.
These are the risks that have been run by disciples of the kundalini through
the ages. Technology has changed all of that. The good news is that many if
not all of the effects of a spiritual fall are reversible with the help of
light and sound sessions if caught in time. Pre existing psychological
conditions aggravated by a fall are not reversible without further integrative
work. No one need ever go through what I have described above. I have included
full instructions on how to awaken the kundalini and how to stop a spiritual
fall in the Awakening Mind 1 manual.
Awakening the Kundalini;
Natural Method
Although this method is not the only way to do it, the following method is the
one with which I am most familiar. In general, to awaken the kundalini
naturally, two things are necessary. You must be able to enter a deep
meditative trance state and when you do, you must have enough residual energy
so that the kundalini will naturally awaken. This is accomplished using the
following methods.
The first part of this process is to enter a deep meditative trance state.
While lying down, take slow deep breaths through your nose. You don't want to
become over stimulated while doing this, so don't breath too fast. While you
are doing this gently concentrate on your breathing. If your mind wanders and
you stop deep breathing, don't let it bother you, just resume again.
Eventually, you will slip into a trance state. It is not likely that you will
raise the kundalini while lying down. However, this practice is extremely
important in learning how to enter the trance state.
The trance state always feels like less time has elapsed than actually has
elapsed. However, there are varying degrees of depth to the trance state.
Occasionally, you will be aware while in trance. During this experience, time
feels like it has been suspended. Sometimes, you will not be aware while in
trance; at these times, you will experience a sort of missing time.
Once you have mastered the trance state while lying down, you are ready to go
to practicing it while sitting up with your back as straight as you can.
While practicing the following techniques don't strain and perform them in a
quiet, secluded place. If necessary take your phone off the hook and put the
kids to bed.
I suggest you start by practicing a yoga breathing technique called "alternate
nostril breathing." Alternate nostril breathing calms the mind and energizes
the third eye chakra. Alternate nostril breathing is performed in the following
manner. Rest the base of the palm of your right hand on your chin and your
three middle fingers on your forehead; if necessary rest your elbow on a table.
Gently press closed your left nostril with your little finger and breath in
through your right nostril. Now, close your right nostril with your thumb, and
slowly breath out through your left nostril. Next, breath in through your left
nostril, while your thumb holds the right nostril closed. Finally, breath out
through you right nostril while your left nostril is held closed by your little
finger. Repeat the process over and over until your mind clears of thoughts
and is relaxed.
Once your mind is quiet and relaxed rest your hands on your lap or a table and
start slow deep breathing through your nose. Eventually, you will slip into a
meditative trance state. If you have enough residual energy from the breathing
exercises, your third eye or crown chakra will awaken, you will see brilliant
flashes of light in your mind, be brought instantly out of trance state, and
feel alot of bliss.
While practicing any of the above exercises, you should feel no strain at all.
Sit against the side of your bed or in a chair to relax you back if you need to.
Don't force yourself to breath in or out rapidly. If any of your muscles feel
tense, consciously try to relax them. If your mind is restless keep doing the
alternate nostril breathing, but don't force your mind to be calm.
Personally, I much prefer the following artificial method. You have much more
control over your mental state and can compensate for a fall, if it should
occur. Whether the kundalini will awaken with the natural method is hit or miss.
It depends upon how much energy exists within you when you enter trance state,
how straight your back is, and how complete a trance state you enter. With the
artificial method, you have exact control over your energy state. However,
with the artificial method, you must have access to a computer, light and sound
machine, or a tape player.
-
Artificial Method
The kundalini is easily awakened using light and sound sessions. Indeed it is
only the sound portion of light and sound sessions that is needed to awaken the
kundalini. The principle involved is quite simple. All you have to do is to
use a session to put yourself into a very deep trance like state and then
stimulate the mind. Nothing is easier to do with a light and sound session.
This works is because the trance like state removes the ego's barriers and the
stimulation awakens the kundalini. This is equivalent to saying that the
trance state unlocks the door, and the stimulation open it. After the door is
open it is up to you to follow through. The session will awaken automatically
the kundalini, however you have to be ready to commit to its rising.
The following frequencies are the ones used within the enlightenment session:
Stage 1 & 3
257 250
236 243
Stage 2
261 254
233 240
Stage 1 & 3 provides the trance state. Stage 2 provides the stimulation.
There are a great many things that you need to know before you can begin to
successfully use this session: durations, waveform, volume, filters, exact
practice, what to do if the trance state doesn't take, etc. All of these
things, plus who should or should not use light and sound session, what to
expect to occur at various frequencies, how to write effective sessions, and
much more is explained in the Awakening Mind manual listed within the back of
this monograph.
The effects of either the trance or the stimulative state taken separately
wear off after a couple of days. After that time it is all your energy and you
must either do what it takes to keep the kundalini going or resist it and shut
it down. The next section is all about keeping the kundalini going.
Riding The Kundalini
-
The way to ride the kundalini is to pay its price. The price of the kundalini
is not demanded of you, it is simply asked. It is always your decision whether
you will give that price or not. . .Always. The price of the kundalini is very
simple. Every time you feel the blissful effects of the kundalini simply loose
yourself in it, no matter what. This is the same as saying that you give
complete devotion to the Spirit of God, nothing more, nothing less. What
primarily is asked of any disciple of the kundalini is simply that you
surrender yourself to it and loose yourself in it (as you might loose yourself
in a good movie at a theater).
-
Also, when the spirit within you asks you to do something; simply do it. I
doubt very much that you will be asked to do anything harmful. However, the
fundamental price of the kundalini is that you lose the ego within it and fully
cooperate with it to the best of your ability. Render unto God, that which is
God's (who you are and what you are devoted to (what you want)). It is that
simple. Eventually, you will be asked to let go of any material desires or
attachments that blocks full awareness. What will be shown to you in return is
that you are not who you thought you were and that what you thought you wanted,
wasn't what you wanted at all.

Postlog
The kundalini changes everything. It can alter your life forever. The
kundalini is the awakening of true spirituality in humans. It is not without
risks, but then nothing in life is. It is however the most remarkable and
fulfilling journey you will ever take.
I have written this monograph as an aid to those who have, are, or will undergo
a kundalini awakening. It is meant to be a reference work to keep any serious
student on track and to honestly inform anyone thinking about taking this
journey. I wish you all of the best in your spiritual journeys.
Sincerely
James Mann
About the Author;
-
I have undergone 6 or 7 kundalini awakenings during my life time. After the
first awakening at age 15-16 in the spring of 1969, I have spent much of my
life exploring the ins and outs of the kundalini and the spiritual path. In
1992, I wrote the Awakening Mind 1 manual that details how to use light and
sound sessions to create natural and altered states of mind (OOBEs, and
Kundalini states, etc.) Altered states and light and sound sessions are my
passion.
I don't think of myself as a guru (dispeller of darkness). A guru quite often
is the path (as Christ said "I am the way, the truth, and the life"). I am
rather a teacher of what I know. I am one who has found the doorway and the
key and simply points it out and helps others who want to open it and walk
through.
