"Once you start to learn all these different modalities and you start to see how they all connect, it feels a lot less scary and then you have all these different things that you can tap into."

Key Highlights
Kundalini energy is said to live right below your root chakra. It’s representative of a snake, or your power. In our bodies, we have blockages, constraints, or trauma responses that limit our energy centers from flowing freely. Kundalini is a practice that awakens and unlocks that power and clears the blockages so you can live life more freely.
Each chakra connects to a specific area of the mind, body, and spirit. When imbalances or blockages are present in a certain chakra, you may begin to experience hardships in the relative area of your life.
We all have masculine and feminine energies and sometimes they can become imbalanced. Kundalini yoga and meditation helps you come back to your equilibrium.
Mantras are sacred chants that activate the chakras. Each chakra has a special mantra that you can use to bring balance and flow to that chakra.
If you keep experiencing the same hardships or you’re feeling stuck in life, the only way you’re going to get unstuck is by looking inward.
If you’re looking for an energetic release, know that this is a journey and you can be your own guru. Get excited about learning how to heal trauma and release your blockages. Remember, rest and recovery is when you grow.
Powerful Quotes by Erin Elizabeth Downing
Kundalini yoga is how I learned how to meditate for the first time.
Only for 2-3 minutes we did it, but my brain completely checked out and I went into this incredibly deep meditation and I was like, “Oh my gosh, what is this magic and how do I get more of it?” … I was hooked.
When you are living your truth and your authentic self… when you are in your power… people could say stuff all day long, do whatever they’re doing, and it doesn’t even affect you. But if you happen to be doing things from old programming or from trauma that you may not even be conscious of… the second somebody even brings up the tiniest thing, your whole body is crumbled.
Once you start to learn all these different modalities and you start to see how they all connect, it feels a lot less scary and then you have all these different things that you can tap into.
