Meeting Your Kundalini Guides in Dreams

A kundalini awakening is a major existential event meant to bring profound change of body, mind and spirit.  One thing is for sure: very little of a person’s “being” will remain the same as the kundalini energy works its way through the body and into one’s life.  Most likely, there will be significant upheavals felt in all areas of life, particularly in one’s career life if one is not already working in a compassionate, service-oriented, creative field.

If ever there was a “This isn’t Kansas anymore” event, the kundalini awakening is it.  It is no wonder that in India kundalini devotees sought out gurus or guides to help them manage the strong energy animating and energizing their being, and make appropriate decisions for living and working with this energy.

For persons living outside of India who experience a kundalini breakthrough, getting a reliable guru can be problematic.  Many people in the Western medical and helping professions like physicians and psychologists haven’t even heard of kundalini, and the chances of being diagnosed with and erroneously treated for some other condition are highly probable.

Dreams Can Introduce You to Your Guides

Because the kundalini experience is so basic and true to the nature of the person, such an event would be long predicted at the dream level for the purpose of preparing the dreamer for this new spiritual development.  Dreams of snakes coming to the dreamer, atomic explosions, lightning rods, and volcanic eruptions may herald the onset of a kundalini awakening.  Along with or after these kinds of dreams, guides will appear who seem to have a connection to the onset of kundalini energy.

Examples: I dreamed of two male guides who wore light blue, close-fitting suits like in the Star Trek TV series.  On their sleeves they wore patches decorated with a lightning rod that gave me a clue they were related to kundalini.  They were guiding me to work situations where my kundalini experience would be of value.  This was a tremendous need at the time because I had been working in a high-stress corporate environment which is nearly impossible to do while experiencing kundalini.  I needed a new career.  A number of years later, I dreamed of these same two guides leading me to another work situation where the kundalini experience would be very valuable in helping people.

Look for Your Guides in Dreams & Request to Meet Them in Dreams

So if you are experiencing kundalini energy, be on the outlook for guides in your dreams that can help you in ways you need helping.  You might even ask to meet such a guide by making such a request before you do to bed at night.

Common Symbols for Kundalini in Dreams: Snakes

The Snake: A Symbol for Kundalini Rising

Caduceus

As the first of a blog series on common symbols for kundalini that occur in dreams I will begin with the snake. Perhaps it is one of the most popular symbols for kundalini because the Hindus have often portrayed the energy as a snake that uncoils and rises up. The snake’s movement symbolizes kundalini energy as it uncoils and rises up the spine to do its work in the body. When I had my blissful kundalini awakening in June of 2009, (not to be confused the powerful kundalini energy release I underwent in 2007), I experienced this uncanny sensation. I felt a building energy at the base of my spine and then a unique uncoiling sensation that was followed by a burst of energy igniting my first, second and third chakras. It seemed that every cell from my knees to upper abdomen was radiating pure ecstatic joy. With my mind’s eye, I saw glorious tones of red, orange and yellow extend several feet from out of my body. For a long while after, I reveled in a profound blissful state.

Perhaps because the snake has been so long associated with kundalini and its healing properties, and because the snake’s venom can heal certain conditions, the snake has long been a symbol for healing. Everyone is familiar with the ancient symbol for the medical profession, the caduceus, a rod with a snake or two wrapped around it.

A Human Caduceus

Since having experienced kundalini I now see myself as the rod surrounded by two healing snakes. This is no accident. In February 2003, I had an emotionally powerful dream of two giant golden snakes wrapped about my middle. Since then, I have come to understand that these two snakes were and are healing the 2^nd and 3^rd chakras, areas where I have needed healing. I also don’t think it is an accident that I have been gifted with the art of healing others as I have been healed. The caduceus is a symbol for any human who has been enfolded by the healing energy of kundalini and thus can heal others.

Look for Your Snake’s Color and Their Reappearance in Your Dreams

In your dreams, be particularly aware if snakes seek you out and wrap themselves around you. It may mean kundalini has chosen you. It is important to understand snakes can have many other meanings in dreams so noting the color of the snakes will be an important clue as to whether these snakes might be harbingers of kundalini energy. If the colors are brilliant, glowing and beautiful or are white, a symbol for spirituality, there is a good chance they may represent kundalini energy. For example in 2005 I had a dream of two snakes, a green snakes were approaching me. A month later, I dreamed of two white snakes going to the left and right in front of me. This repetition of dreams featuring a unique symbol such as a snake bears taking notice. It is another sign that something significant is happening. These dreams are telling me to take notice that whatever the snake symbolizes is coming my way.
