I’ve been on a journey through the chakras, learning so much about myself and my energy. Each chakra represents a unique facet of existence, and my reflections on them have helped me understand the concept of removing that heavy kundalini shell.
Starting with Muladhara, or the root chakra, I found stability. Grounding exercises made me realize how essential it is to feel secure in my body. It was raw with emotion; I could feel the weight of fears and anxieties lifting as I embraced my inherent right to be here—to exist.
As I moved up to Svadhisthana, the sacral chakra, the warmth of creativity began to flow. This chakra taught me about joy and pleasure in life’s simple moments. Engaging in activities that seem trivial on the surface unveiled deeper connections within me. I learned that joy isn’t something to strive for rigidly; it often arises when we are present with what we have.
Third comes Manipura, the solar plexus chakra. Here, I encountered personal power and self-worth. This is where surrendering to a Higher Power became clear to me—releasing control over how things should turn out liberated me from frustrations it seemed impossible to escape. Learning this let me breathe easier.
With Anahata, the heart chakra, everything shifted toward love and compassion. In this space, vulnerable emotions bubbled up—longings hidden beneath everyday experiences emerged into awareness. Connection flooded in as I focused on expanding love, both for myself and others. The act of surrendering expectations opened pathways for pure connection.
The throat chakra (Vishuddha) was initially challenging but ultimately liberating as I learned the importance of honest expression. Speaking my truth felt empowering—and through that authenticity came release from judgmental layers I had built around myself.
Ajna, or the third eye chakra, brought clarity and foresight into my practice using meditation techniques like candle-gazing or focusing on breath patterns. Initially filled with distractions, these practices nudged me lightly toward deeper layers of awareness—eventually cultivating profound feelings of connection and love that took my breath away.
Lastly, Sahasrara opened doors beyond comprehension—the realization that our journeys intertwine. With each layer peeled away through persistent focus on breathing and meditative techniques taken over time—what once felt chaotic turned serene. Surrendering gave rise not just to personal growth but an expansive peace running like a river through my entire being.
Through each stage of this process—from grounding to liberation—I began understanding how diligently letting go can bring wisdom without forceful expectations or rigid demands."
