In most if not all ancient and mystical traditions, spiritual awakening experiences are related to the awakening of the energies that move up ida, pingala, and sushumna (energy channels). The nature of these energies is an auspicious mystery and should be approached with the utmost integrity. In other words, we have no idea what these energies are in their final form and being humbly concerned would be sensible. There is a deliberate act of waking up these energies, a spontaneous means, and perhaps something in between. My intention is to suggest meditation as a means for spiritual awakening. It’s true to say that there are many doorways to enlightenment, liberation, and spiritual evolution as a whole. I find meditation to be a safe, sensible, and mysterious means to awaken. As you deepen your meditation you will find your karma arise over and over again. You will simply have to dissolve what comes up through right meditation. Meditating correctly is not easy but it requires a well experienced teacher nonetheless. Without teachers, we can waste a lot of time and take millions of steps in the wrong direction. We sit, we meditate, but we tend to reaffirm our thoughts without realizing that we are subconsciously reaffirming certain beliefs. For example, much of our conditioning has led us to believe we are not good enough for this or that reason. This is complete bullshit, you simply just are. When you approach meditation correctly and reaffirm what you truly are, these cosmic energies begin to flow. This is why the traditions were so important and why we must approach this through correct understanding. There is the “Way” and it is Remembering. Not Remembering who you are but Remembering awareness and the nature of awareness. We must follow our awareness again and again. You must stay inside the body, following awareness, in the immediacy of the present moment. What I have stated here is of incredible insight and I encourage you to try this for yourself if you wish to do things correctly. But be careful, the ego will continue to reaffirm itself and this is a huge obstacle for us. We must realize that we are not the ego and whilst it’s present in our consciousness, we want to have a mature relationship with the ego. It is a strange path to awaken to your true nature. It requires surrender, compassion, wisdom and nothing else. If you need support, I am here for you.
