Kundalini Awakening Systems 1
Kriyas
Often during a Kundalini awakening a person may find themselves having spontaneous movements that can be as subtle as a light tremor to as troubling as a grand mal seizure. These are an energetic response from the body of an infusion of Kundalini energy upon the body physical. It will resemble spasms and jerks of varying frequency and may strike fear into the one experiencing this who isn't prepared to be jerking and twitching their way around the house. Not to mention loved ones.
These are called Kriyas. (Kriya from the Sanskrit, "action, deed, effort"). Kriyas are spontaneous movements resulting from the awakening of Kundalini energy and its imposition upon the neural pathways and meridians of the body. They will come and go and are not to be feared. The frequency and heaviness of the kriyas will vary from person to person. If you are at work they may wait until you come home or come late at night or they may actually come at work as embarrassing as this could be.
Please remember that Kundalini isn't just an effect of an energetic release upon the body. It is an energetic intelligence. It is conscious. It knows you better than you know you and if the kriyas would be detrimental to you and your livelihood then it would most likely pick another time. If your body is in need of this to occur though - the kriyas will come regardless of your situation. Kundalini has its own agenda and it is best to lay your agenda aside for the time being and allow it to complete its initial process.
Not everyone has the kriyas. Much depends upon what the person brings with them to this life regarding the physical acceptance of an infusionary event. Some people are born to have this experience and others receive it differently. No worries. We can all open to the Kundalini but we must understand that we will have similar and unique responses. The Kundalini potential is inside everyone.
A very strong energy infusion
Kriya is a Sanskrit word. It means:
"Action, deed, effort, movement")
Often it is commonly associated with a practice within a yoga discipline. It also means:
"The outward manifestations of awakened Kundalini".
Here we know from experience that it surely is an aspect of the Kundalini energies awakening in the body. Kriyas are the spontaneous movements of the five bodies of expression resulting from the awakening of Kundalini energy.
Kundalini kriyas were the origin of the early yoga systems. Certain kriyas eventually developed into the asanas (postures) of Hatha yoga.
This is why when we are inside of the awakening we can find ourselves adopting the yoga postures without even knowing that they are indeed these postures!
Not only will the physical body have kriyas. Emotional outbursts of extreme intensity can be seen as a kriya for the emotional body. Mental lapses or severe acuity can also be understood this way as pertaining to the mental body and so forth.
A kriya is merely the result of very strong Kundalini energy infusing the inner dynamic of a particular body of expression.
They can be scary to see physically until you get used to seeing them. Shaking and twisting sometimes accompanied by vocalizations of what would be considered animal sounds. Kriyas are normal and are not to be shied away from or frightened of. They aid in the infusion of the Kundalini into the body(s).
They can be outside of volitional control as well and if you do not know what is going on this can be somewhat terrifying as conscious control is suspended for a time.
So I write this to inform you that kriyas exist and are beneficial even as strange as they may look to the outside observer they can feel very good to the one having the experience. They can also work muscles that you did not know you have. You can be sore by the end of the day from having many kriyas come through you.
They can start as a small jerking of the body or a part of the body and then increase into large seizure like movements. They are not a seizure; they can just look like one. There commonly is no pain unless one resists. Often one is compelled to enter into yoga like postures that will be held for a certain amount of time. I advise that you completely surrender to these urges. They are a natural part of the Kundalini process. It can be painful if you fight them.
The more you surrender the quicker you move through them. Many other attributes of a kriya nature will occur for the individual as all of the expressive bodies go through this. Information and experiences and visions and teachings of a spiritual content will also descend upon the human expressions. Bliss is often experienced in these states.
Kriyas are not a guarantee. Not everyone inside of the Kundalini will have severe and or overt kriya activity. Not everyone is involved with a kriya activity that twists and turns them on the floor. Some do have this so it does bear mentioning. Others have less active or demonstrative forms occur such as back arches and which come and go but are not very severe. Spinal cracks and stretches of the spine and neck realignments etc. A jerking of the eyes is common as is a myriad of twitches and spasms. This is all normal inside of the Kundalini and nothing is wrong.
Kundalini is a natural event for people and the kriya is merely a manifestation of the body absorbing a Kundalini infusion. - blessings all - chrism
