Kundalini awakening involves moving beyond your limited reality and gaining a broader and clearer perspective. When you make the shift to a higher level of consciousness, you become more aware of reality as it exists beyond the confines of the self.
"Energy is perceived in this plane of existence as frequency. Lower frequencies manifest as solid objects and higher frequencies manifest as light, sound, etc. We, as human beings, perceive less than 5% of the frequencies our scientists know to exist. That means that over 95% of creation that our scientists can prove to exist, cannot be perceived by the human body and our scientists have only scratched the surface! Yoga gives us the tools to “see” beyond our body’s limitations and explore more of the creation in which we live.
The first step in this process is acknowledging the existence of the seven chakras that make up our human body and are a part of our larger light body or Merkaba. These seven chakra centers run through our body as increasing frequencies of energy. Some sources will number the chakras 1 through 7. I do not like numbering them because they are simply energy centers within our existence. One is no more important than another and there are an infinite number of energy centers both of lower frequency and of higher frequency than these 7 centers."
