The word Kundalini comes from the Sanskrit word meaning “coiled snake.”
This energy can then be awakened through yoga, mantras, asanas, and meditation.
Kundalini meditation is part of Kundalini yoga and is meant to move energy through the body.
Verywell / Brianna Gilmartin
This mediation tradition seeks to awaken, release, and harness this energy.
Kundalini meditation is not a set of beliefs or religion.
Instead, it’s a system for evoking energy inside yourself and developing mind-body awareness.
Note that deep, slow breathing can make you feel lightheaded or dizzy at first.
Remember that it’s better to start small.
Pick a manageable meditation commitment that you think it’s possible for you to follow through on every day.
Avoid trying to do too much too quickly, which could feel overwhelming and derail your efforts.
Choose a Location
Kundalini mediation can be done anywhere.
This should be a spot that you find peaceful and where you are not likely to be bothered.
It could be a place where you gather your favorite things.
Keep a bottle of water beside you.
Choose What to Wear
Dress in whatever feels right to you.
Your clothes should be clean, fresh, and ideally light in color to enhance the feeling of lightness.
Or, you could practice before bed at night as a way of winding down from your day.
Close your eyes softly so that they are about 90% closed.
Choose the Length of Practice
This could be anywhere from three minutes to two and a half hours.
Whatever works for your schedule and goals is perfect.
Choose a Mantra
While you breathe, you will chant amantrato help you focus.
Chant “sat” when you inhale and “nam” when you exhale.
you could also pick another phrase or sound to repeat.
Whatever mantra speaks to you and feels right, is right.
The purpose of chanting is to direct your energy.
you’re able to also repeat your mantra at other times of the day if feeling stressed.
Start to Focus on Your Breath
Notice your breathing and gradually start to slow it down.
Your goal will be for one round of inhaling and exhaling to last about seven to eight seconds.
Aim to do this so that there are four segments of both inhales and exhales during a complete breath.
Breath through your nose the entire time.
If you feel dizzy at any point, then stop the practice.
Whenever your mind starts to wander, consciously return your focus back to your breath and mantra.
Finish the Meditation
Continue this cycle of breathing throughout the predetermined mediation time.
(Set a timer so you’ll know when to stop.)
Gradually Increase Your Meditation
Gradually, aim to increase the length of time that you meditate.
At first, even just two minutes of meditation might feel like a struggle.
But don’t give up.
Quieting your mind takes practice, and even just a few minutes can have a positive impact.
With time, it will become easier to call yourself into a meditative state.
