The symptoms of a Kundalini awakening is like a flash of light that briefly illuminates the path before you and shows you the temple or the destination of your journey . However, once is not enough; It is necessary a second time and a third time. You can also reach the destination without the shaktipad, although it may take longer.
In spite of the usefulness of the shaktipad you must also prepare yourself with innate wisdom and be prepared to receive the transmission of the guru. The inner and outer gurus have the same consciousness. By preparing to receive the grace of the inner guru, you establish the connection that attracts the outer guru. “

Fortunately, a person does not have to have all the symptoms of a kundalini awakening mentioned here. In each person only some of them appear, depending on the temperament, the karma, and the preparation of the individual. For example, if a person has been making the necessary yogic postures as part of a regular practice, upon awakening the kundalini there will be no involuntary posturing, since the person has already fulfilled those requirements. In a person who has lived a natural sexual life upon awakening the kundalini, there will never be excessive warming of the head or other parts of the body.
