Good evening,
My friend,
And welcome back to the Grounded Sleep Podcast.
I'm David.
I'll be your guide tonight.
And for those of you who follow my journey a bit,
I've been in Spain in the last few months and a little bit of time in Italy.
And I'm back in my studio in my house in Boulder,
Colorado.
It's late at night here as I record.
It's peaceful,
It's still,
And it's time for you to go to bed.
So when you're ready,
You can turn the lights off,
Get nice and cozy,
Comfortable,
And put yourself in just the right position so you can fall asleep.
But before you do,
This podcast is sponsored by nothingness.
Just kidding.
We have no sponsors.
Nothing to interrupt your sleep,
Except my bad jokes.
Okay.
So tonight's episode,
We're going to be doing a meditation as we fall asleep on kundalini energy.
I'm teaching a class on it soon,
So I thought let's do a meditation with our kundalini energy as we fall asleep.
The word kundalini comes from the Sanskrit root kunda,
Meaning coiled,
And it's often described as a serpent resting at the base of the spine.
And you can find information about the kundalini energy in ancient texts,
Including the Upanishads and Tantric scriptures.
And they describe kundalini as a dormant divine energy that when awakened rises through the spine,
Leading to higher states of consciousness.
So even as we fall asleep,
We can very,
Very gently allow that kundalini energy to move.
Sometimes it's also referred to as the primordial life force,
Connecting the physical body,
The mind,
And the soul.
So as you let go tonight into sleep,
You can allow that kundalini energy to gently move through your body,
And I'll guide you on how to do it.
And it will be very,
Very gentle,
Almost like putting the stove on a very,
Very low flame.
And as you fall asleep,
The kundalini energy perhaps will give you a healing,
Realign you into more balance,
And maybe even bring more creativity into your dreams.
Many ancient traditions viewed kundalini as the key to spiritual enlightenment,
Often being described as the divine energy that when activated flows up through the spine and the chakras,
Illuminating the path to wisdom.
So as you lay here with me tonight,
Letting that breath slow down,
Letting your body relax,
Letting your energy start to rest,
You can notice that life force energy,
That kundalini,
The base of your spine.
And it gently begins to rise,
Slowly moving up your spine.
And as it moves up your spine,
That warm,
Golden energy,
That life force,
It starts to give your body a healing.
It relaxes you.
It aligns you.
As that energy rises through your lower abdomen area,
Up through your solar plexus,
It begins to move through your chest area as it washes over your heart.
And it gently rises through your body.
And just watching that light come up from your heart,
All the way up through your neck and throat.
As it rises up through your neck and throat,
It touches your third eye,
And it reaches the top of your head,
Even pouring out of the top of your head.
And you're just noticing this light from the base of your spine,
Rising all the way up through your body.
And it's doing so very,
Very gently.
And as it moves through your body,
You can feel yourself perhaps releasing some blocks from the day,
Some energy,
Letting go of anything tense you were holding on to.
Any stuckness,
That Kundalini energy,
As it rises through you,
It washes away any residue of the day.
And you'll notice as you sink deeper and deeper into your bed and into the night,
This Kundalini energy gives you a healing.
And slowly the Kundalini energy turns almost into night mode.
It becomes less bright,
Almost like a cool flame.
And even the Kundalini energy is inviting you to fall asleep.
And you notice this spiritual energy as it moves through your system.
It heals you as you fall asleep.
You begin to notice that your consciousness is shifting from your waking state into your sleep state.
As you sleep tonight,
The intelligence of this Kundalini energy will guide you through your dreams,
Perhaps even giving you a healing in your dreams.
The Kundalini energy perhaps can even protect you in your dreams.
As it moves up through your spine,
Through your body,
It melts away any excessive energy from other people,
From the world,
Anything you don't need to take with you into the dream time.
And as you fall asleep tonight,
As your physical body rests,
You notice that you also have an energetic body.
And this Kundalini force is also moving through your energetic body,
Perhaps even your dream body.
And as you let go of the day,
You can feel and sense dreams starting to call you,
The deep stillness of the night inviting you.
And as you fall asleep,
The Kundalini energy gets a bit dimmer,
Like turning the stove down and you leave it on just enough.
And as you melt into the night,
Taking slower and deeper breaths,
You can let your whole being relax.
Your physical body can relax and your energetic body can relax.
Start to let yourself drift off deep into the night.
You're letting go of the shores of wakefulness.
And you're setting off for the deep seas of the dream time.
Have an amazing journey and I'll see you on the other side.
