Ignite Your Inner Power with Kundalini Activation
If you are seeking a truly unique, powerful, and spiritual experience, there are many practitioners on Ibiza that offer the Kundalini Awakening Process (KAP). ‘Now what is this?’ you may ask. It’s an ancient practice that stretches back centuries and has been used in several spiritual and religious traditions including Indian yogic and spiritual traditions.
The name “Kundalini” means coiled serpent and the belief is that this is the dormant energy that lies inside. The awakening process consists of releasing this energy, mostly gradually throughout the chakras up the spine to awakening. Metaphorically the serpent is climbing up the spine.
The practitioner usually guides the participants with meditation, breathwork and gentle physical movements which are designed to release blockages and make the energy flow. These exercises are known to release emotions, cause tingling sensations, a feeling of energy flowing, visions, and a broader awareness. Some people have even reported that it happened instantaneously causing them to feel a sensation of having lost their mind. This is why it’s important to have an experienced practitioner present to help guide people through difficult emotions or sensations that can often be surprising.
The goal of Kundalini activation is to release negative patterns in life, reach a heightened state of awareness, and connect with the higher self. To find the right practitioner on Ibiza, it’s advised to start early to see if anyone is hosting a KAP retreat as they pop up throughout the year. And by starting early, you will also be able to find the practitioner that you vibe with who is in a location that you find peaceful.
