Kundalini & Energetic Meridians: A Crystal Healing Approach

The continued, repeated practice of meditation can affect you not only spiritually, but on an energetic level as well. Meditation will eventually begin to have a noticeable, positive effect on your chakras, energetic meridians and kundalini, and on your aura as a whole.

Meridians are energetic channels found in your etheric body. This system of channels is thought to transport your life force energy (chi/qi or prana) throughout the body. Since the meridians are all connected, energetic blockages are often easily detectable upon assessment of the physical body. If you are experiencing a physical illness or ailment in a particular area of the body, it is likely that you also have an associated energy blockage, or shortage of energy, in the corresponding energetic meridians.

Similarly, the kundalini is an Eastern notion often represented by a serpent-like form of energy, or shakti (another representation of your life force energy). It is thought that the kundalini is like a snake that remains coiled up at the base of your spine (in the root or base chakra) until its energy is released through practices such as meditation or tantric yoga. The serpent-like energy then travels up the spine, by way of the sushumna (a central energetic channel parallel to the spine), through each of the chakras toward the crown chakra where it manifests as divine wisdom and a state of perfect conscious awareness, or enlightenment. As the kundalini jou
eys toward the crown, the chakras (thought of as lotuses) are said to open, or to bloom, as the kundalini energy passes through them. This opening of these energetic centers manifests the progression of the development of your perfect conscious awareness.

However, the rising of the kundalini shakti to the Crown Chakra should only occur in the most spiritually attuned individuals. If this energy is prematurely awakened, before your energetic channels and chakras are completely pure and realized, the rising of the kundalini shakti may have negative effects on an individual. If you have energetic blockages in your etheric body, then the kundalini energy can become, more or less, stuck in the area of the blockage. This begins to create an energetic strain as the pressure of the kundalini shakti builds in this area, resulting in “kundalini psychosis.” Basically, the premature rising of the kundalini shakti causes negative, physical, emotional, and spiritual side effects in the unrealized person.

In a situation such as this, the excess energy of the Kundalini shakti can be returned to its normal state by using a large crystal which has been programmed for relieving this type of energetic shock. To create this program, you should hold the crystal up to the third eye chakra (brow chakra/6th chakra) or in the hands and then visualize the image of a sleeping serpent (representing resting Kundalini energy) and intend that this image be programmed into the crystal. You should also create and recite an affirmation regarding the dormant kundalini shakti and program this into the crystal as well. This affirmation may be as simple as, “May the Kundalini serpent return to its coiled position at my Root Chakra.” Then, the crystal should be held over the sacral chakra (2nd chakra) while repeating the affirmation and visualizing that the serpent-like energy return to the base chakra to coil up to rest. This healing exercise should be performed for approximately fifteen minutes per day for several days or until the adverse energetic effects or symptoms have dissipated.
