Kundalini Rising - A Poem

One

Red 

Passions surging

Origins awakening

Emerging from the heart of Gaia

Primordial rhythms enlivening

Deep native knowingness

Humanity’s sojourn with Earth as One

Two

Orange

Sacred individuality 

Gently inviting otherness from Oneness

Creation flowing outward

Confident yet receptive

Forging self, tempered

From One comes Two

Three

Yellow

In stillness, power springs forth

Fanning the fire of will-ingness

Radiating warmth and strength

For creation of reality

Driven from visions ideal

In harmony with the Three

Four

Green

Purest love

Center of the cosmic heart

Symmetry of below with above

Escorting Heaven to Earth

With exquisite joy to soothe the soul

Celebrating the essence of Four

Five

Blue

Between heart and mind united

Words spoken with care

With faith uplifted and will surrendered

Broadcasting endless wonder and beauty

When liberated and anchored by love

Sacred truths given voice through Five

Six

Indigo

Mind of clarity and insight

Eternal bridge to the infinite

Lighting the path to the mystical and profound

And glory perceived within

Inspiration for compassion and forgiveness

Mastery achieved with Six

Seven

Violet

Portal to higher realms and Source

Seeking intimacy with the divine

Oneness becomes demystified

When stillness transcends aloneness

Boundless gifts unrestricted 

At every Now in the journey of Seven

Of Sanskrit origin, Kundalini simply means coil. In yoga tradition, Kundalini is believed to be the power that is required to attain spiritual enlightenment. Some call this ‘awakening’. Although every human has Kundalini, it is not always active and may be lying dormant near the Root Chakra. It is also believed that awakened Kundalini can open, cleanse and fully develop each of the seven major Chakras, beginning at the Root and working upwards to the Crown. When the Kundalini reaches the Crown Chakra, it is said the highest spiritual achievement has been attained. It is also said, in tradition, that very few are able to awaken their Kundalini, and even if they do, it would take many, many years, and maybe even lifetimes, to complete the process. This is an old belief system that will no longer carry any weight in the new paradigm we are currently creating for our lives on Earth. In this new paradigm, enlightenment is within reach of each and every one of us. Through meditation and allowing the energies coming to Earth via the full moons, solstices, equinoxes, etc. to transform you, is one way to awaken. Yoga also teaches many practices for awakening the Kundalini. I will leave it up to you to research and choose your own path as you are guided.

Namaste.
