【譯者前言】
您如果有閱讀過ShanShanAstrology上雙生火焰系列文章，應該對Luna&Sol不陌生了。早在2019年末，我在網路上偶然發現了這對雙生火焰的蹤影。他們分享許多雙生火焰指引、還有一些靈修指引。您可以在https://lonerwolf.com/kundalini-awakening/#h-what-is-a-kundalini-awakening閱讀本文原文。或者探索一下他們的網站，閱讀他們其他系列的文章。
今天的主題是昆達里尼Kundalini。瑜伽修行者們非常著重開發它。實際上，雙生火焰旅程也需要啟動昆達里尼——我們原始的性能量、陰性之力。當昆達里尼停滯流動時，我們會對親密關係的性與愛、親密度感到十分焦慮；也可能產生自我價值低和自信匱乏等課題。如果你想改善脈輪下三輪的能量流動，啟動您的昆達里尼助益也甚大。
【正文部分】
Sooner or later on the spiritual awakening journey, we all taste the mysterious and intense kundalini energy …
神秘而強勁的昆達里尼能量，很快/稍後便會出現在我們的靈性覺醒旅程當中⋯⋯
It might be smooth and subtle, or intense and explosive, but whatever the case, kundalini is a primal force of awakening.
它可能是柔和與模糊的，或強勁而爆炸性的。無論是哪種情況，昆達里尼都是原始的覺醒之力。
In fact, sometimes people can experience full-blown kundalini awakenings spontaneously without any prior experience (or interest) in spiritual growth or transformation.
實際上，人有時會在毫無前兆（或意圖）的情況，偶然全方位「引爆」了昆達里尼。
Have you experienced a kundalini awakening?
你體驗過昆達里尼覺醒了嗎？

[What is a Kundalini Awakening?]
[何謂昆達里尼覺醒？]
Put simply, a kundalini awakening is a form of energetic awakening that causes us to transform on the mental, emotional, and spiritual levels.
簡而言之，昆達里尼啟動是種有活力的覺醒形式。它讓我們達成在心智、情緒和靈性層面的轉化。
Kundalini itself is a Sanskrit word that means “she who is coiled” – it refers to primordial life force energy contained at the base of the spine that is often depicted as a snake. This serpentine energy, once awoken, travels up the various energy centers (or chakras) of the body and into your crown chakra where higher consciousness is triggered. The result of this higher awareness is a greater understanding of one’s soul (or True Nature), life purpose, and the nature of reality itself.
昆達里尼本是梵文，意為「盤繞的她」；是蘊含脊椎底部、常被描繪成蛇的原始生命動力。這蛇般的能量一旦醒來，它便從你身體的各個能量中心（或脈輪）延繞而上到達頂輪。頂輪是引動高階意識的地方，當你的高層覺知被引動時，你將會對自身靈魂（或真實本質）、生命目標和現實的本質有更豐富的理解。
[19 Symptoms of the Kundalini Awakening]
[19個昆達里尼啟動的現象]
As divine feminine energy, kundalini usually lies dormant in the root chakra (base of the spine). However, there are a number of different situations where kundalini can be suddenly awoken spanning from trauma to drug use, all the way to years of targeted practice (such as through tantra or kundalini yoga).
作為神聖的陰性力量，昆達里尼通常在你的底輪（或脊椎底部）沉睡。然而，很多種情況下昆達里尼都會被突然啟動，從創傷和使用迷幻藥、到持續多年有目的的修習（如譚崔和昆達里尼瑜伽。）
Below, I’ve divided kundalini awakening symptoms into two groups: “light” and “dark” signs. Please note that kundalini energy is neither good nor bad, it’s a primordial force that simply lives within us. However, to the human mind, some of these experiences are pleasant and others are extremely unpleasant:
下面，我把昆達里尼啟動的徵兆分為兩組：「明亮的」和「晦暗的」。請注意，昆達里尼能量並非是好的或者不好的，它僅是居住於我們之內的原始動力。然而，對於人類心智而言，當中部分體驗是愉悅的，而有些則極不適。

Other Kundalini Awakening Symptoms
其他昆達里尼啟動的徵兆
The above kundalini awakening signs are fairly common. However, as someone who has experienced the energy of kundalini move through move, I can say that it doesn’t happen in the exact same way for everyone.
以上昆達里尼的啟動信號是相當常見的。但是，當我逐步經歷昆達里尼能量時，可以說，並非所有人都一樣。
One of the most recent experiences I’ve had, for instance, was preceded by two weeks of low scale feelings of ‘impending doom,’ followed by the kundalini energy gently moving from my head and down through my body into my stomach. The energy felt gentle, like a soft breath of wind, and when it reached my stomach, it felt like it was ‘working’ on something there. Then it melted away and vanished.
以我最近的經驗舉例，我有兩週感覺到「即將來臨的厄運」的低潮期，伴隨著昆達里尼溫和地從我的腦袋向下進入我的胃。它的能量溫和，像是溫和呼吸著的風，當它到達我的胃腔時，就像是在這裡處理什麼一樣。隨即便融化了、消失了。
Here are some other, and perhaps less common, kundalini awakening symptoms:
還有些其他，可能不太常見的昆達里尼啟動信號：

[Is Kundalini Awakening Dangerous?]
[啟動昆達里尼是危險的嗎？]
This is a fair question, especially considering some of the symptoms mentioned above.
這是一個不帶偏見的提問，尤其是，考慮到上述某些症狀時。
To answer the question, yes and no. Kundalini energy isn’t innately dangerous or bad. It’s our energy blockages that limit the flow of kundalini that make it a painful, scary, and sometimes dangerous experience.
要回答這個問題，是和但也不是。昆達里尼不具危險或有害的本質。是我們的能量阻礙限制了昆達里尼的流動，讓它變成痛苦、恐怖、有時甚至是危險的體驗。
In Georg Feuerstein’s book Tantra: Path of Ecstasy, he explores why kundalini can go haywire:
在Georg Feuerstein的書籍Tantra: Path of Ecstasy 中，它深度講述昆達里尼變得失控的原因：
“Without prior cleansing of the nādī system, raising the serpent power (kundalinī-shakti) along the axial pathway is not only impossible but also very dangerous to attempt, for instead of entering the central channel (sushumnā-nādī) it is likely to force itself into the idā- or the pingalā-nādī, on either side of the central channel, causing immense havoc in the body and mind.”
「沒有清理脈流系統nādī system（編按：Nādī是讓生命能量流動和運輸的管道）就讓那蛇能量（昆達里尼的原始陰性之力）沿著中軸而上是不可能且危險的嘗試。取而代之，它可能會不會進入中央管道（中脈sushumnā-nādī），而是被迫進入中央管道旁任何一邊、即左脈（idā-nādī）或者右脈（pingalā-nādī）。這會導致身體和心智的巨大混亂。」
In other words, when kundalini is prematurely stimulated or aroused in an incorrect way (aka. through inadequate preparation and clearing of our energetic body), the results can be disastrous. Thankfully, the experience doesn’t last forever, and we’ll explore what to do if you’re experiencing the ‘dark side’ of kundalini awakening a little later.
換句話說，若昆達里尼過早地、以不正確的方式受到刺激或喚醒（例如在準備和能量體清理不足的情況下），便可能變得災難。值得慶幸，這體驗不會永遠持續，我們稍後便會提及如何處理昆達里尼啟動的晦暗面。
But to further illustrate, Feuerstein goes on to quote the experience of yogi and mystic Gopi Krishna during his spontaneous kundalini experience. He writes:
但為了進一步說明，Feuerstein繼續引用神秘的瑜伽士Gopi Krishna啟動昆達里尼的經歷，如是寫道：
“There were dreadful disturbances in all the organs, each so alarming and painful that I wonder how I managed to retain my self-possession under the onslaught. The whole delicate organism was burning, withering away completely under the fiery blast racing through its interior. I knew I was dying and that my heart could not stand the tremendous strain for long. My throat was scorched and every part of my body flaming and burning, but I could do nothing to alleviate the dreadful suffering. If a well or river had been near I would have jumped into its cold depths, preferring death to what I was undergoing.... I racked my distracted brain for a way of escape, only to meet blank despair on every side. The effort exhausted me and I felt myself sinking, dully conscious of the scalding sea of pain in which I was drowning.”
『每個器官裡都有可怕的騷動，這令人震驚和痛苦。我不知如何在猛烈的侵襲下克制自我。整個精微生物體都在內部火熱狂奔賽車中燃燒，它完全枯萎了。我知道自己快死了，我的心無法忍受長期的巨大壓力。我的喉嚨燒焦了，而且身體的每個部位都在烈焰中燃燒。但是我對於緩解那可怕的痛苦無能為力。若附近有水井或河流，我會跳入寒冷的深淵，寧願死也不想如是……。我絞盡腦汁想分散注意逃脫，但四面八方都是空白的絕望。我所作的努力使我筋疲力盡，我感到自己沉沒了，呆滯地被淹沒在滾燙的痛苦之海。』
I’ll stop there because I know that this might be alarming to you (or alternatively, affirming, helping you to see that you’re not alone if you’ve experienced this).
我會就此打住，因為我知道這對你而言可能是驚嚇。（或相反地，具肯定力量。如果你已經歷了這些，它會讓你看見自己並不孤單。）
In short: kundalini is a mighty potent force.
簡而言之：昆達里尼是極強勁的動力。
If you’re seeking to awaken it, be sure you know what you’re doing and seek out trustworthy guidance. This is not something to be trifled with.
如果您想啟動它，請確保您知道自己在做什麼，並尋求可信的指導。這不是一件容易的事。
[Spiritual Awakening vs. Kundalini Awakening – What’s the Difference?]
[靈性覺醒VS 啟動昆達里尼 —— 區別在於？]
While the two sound the same, they’re slightly different in nature.
兩者聽起來一樣，但本質上稍有不同。
The spiritual awakening process (or ‘spiritual ascension‘) tends to be emotional and psychological. Kundalini awakening, on the other hand, is energetic: it’s a surge of energy that may be either gentle and gradual, or sudden and intense.
靈性覺醒過程（或靈性揚升）傾向是情緒和心理層面的。啟動昆達里尼則反過來，它是活力的能量：可能緩慢而漸進、或突然而強烈的湧動。
While kundalini awakening usually comes further down the road after someone has experienced a spiritual awakening, it doesn’t always. As mentioned previously, kundalini can arise suddenly in response to psychedelic drug experiences, sexual encounters, or even traumatic situations.
雖然昆達里尼的啟動通常是人在經歷過靈性覺醒後才發生，但並非總是如此。如前所述，昆達里尼可在使用迷幻藥後、性接觸，甚至創傷情況下突然出現。
Another distinguishing factor is that kundalini energy is felt very physically whereas the spiritual awakening is usually more mind and heart oriented. So while intense vibrations and heat may be felt in the body during kundalini awakening, during spiritual awakening there is more of a soulful quality of deep questioning, insight, and transfiguration (some refer to this as spiritual alchemy).
另一辨別因子是，昆達里尼會身體層面被感知；而靈性覺醒相對地，通常是腦和心主導的。因此，昆達里尼啟動時體內可能會感覺到強烈的振動和熱；但在靈性覺醒時，更多的是靈性特質，包括深層質疑、洞察、以及神聖的變貌（有人將其稱為靈性煉金術）。
Can someone experience both spiritual awakening and kundalini awakening at the same time? Yes, absolutely. And it’s for this reason that both tend to lead to experiences of the Dark Night of the Soul (or the inevitable after-effect of having felt like one has ‘lost touch’ with the Divine). Ultimately, they are two sides of the same coin.
人可以同時體驗靈性覺醒和昆達里尼啟動嗎？絕對可以。正是由於這個原因，兩者都容易導致靈魂暗夜（或不可避免地，產生自身感覺與神聖「失去聯繫」的後遺症）。最終，它們是同一硬幣的兩面。
[5 Hidden Traps of Kundalini Awakening]
[5個啟動昆達里尼的隱藏陷阱]
“The kundalini shakti bestows liberation on yogins and bondage on the ignorant.”
「那昆達里尼-原始陰性能量，賦予瑜伽士和被傲慢奴役之人解放力量。」
– Svātmarāma (15th century yogi master 15世紀瑜伽大師）
Kundalini awakening is a life-changing mystical experience that can feel magical, ecstatic, and profound. And it is. But there are also many hidden traps we can fall into after we’ve emerged out of the other end.
昆達里尼的覺醒是改變生命的神秘體驗，可使人感到神奇、狂喜和深刻，它確實如此。但是，當我們從另一端出來後，仍有許多可能陷入的隱藏陷阱。
Some of these traps involve:
包括以下的陷阱：
Spiritual superiority – seeing yourself as “more awake” than others and looking down on those who are not as advanced or still “asleep” (also known as the spiritual ego)
靈性傲慢–視自己比他人「更清醒」，鄙視那些不那麼前或仍「沉睡」的人（也稱為靈性小我）
Savior complex – adopting a disproportionate sense of self-grandiosity and specialness, believing that you’re sent to “save the world” (e.g., for those who have undergone kundalini psychosis, this can even mean believing they’re Jesus Christ or the next Buddha)
救世主–帶有過分自我誇耀和獨特感，相信您被送來「拯救世界」（例如，那些經歷過因昆達里尼而思覺失調的人，甚至相信自己下一個耶穌基督或佛）
Grasping and attachment – desperately trying to hold onto the blissful experiences of the kundalini awakening and being miserable (even entering crisis mode) when it’s inevitably lost (this can result in spiritual materialism)
嫉妒和依附–當那些昆達里尼啟動帶來的幸福經歷不可避免地丟失時，他會拼命地捉住它，而且感到悲劇（甚至不惜進入危機模式）。（這可能導致靈性唯物主義）
Spiritual nihilism – taking universal truths and misapplying them to a human level, e.g., “all is an illusion,” “nothing ultimately matters” which breeds a sense of dissociation, emptiness, and cynicism
靈性虛無–把宇宙真理誤用到人類層面，例如「一切都是幻覺」、「到最後沒有任何事是重要的」，孕育出抽離、空虛和犬儒主義。
Avoidance – avoiding or spiritually bypassing everyday responsibilities and focusing only on “higher spiritual matters” (this is essentially a way for the ego to avoid growing up and integrating the experience at a human level)
逃避–逃避或走靈性捷徑，繞過日常職責、僅關注「高層的靈性事務」（本質上，這是自我在逃避成長和整合經驗的方式，在人性的層次上）

How to Handle a Kundalini Awakening
如何處理昆達里尼啟動
If your kundalini has awoken and you’re feeling overwhelmed, here’s some guidance:
若昆達里尼啟動讓你感到不知所措，請參考以下指南：
1. Be gentle with yourself and take care of your nervous system
1.溫和對待自己，照顧好您的神經系統
Likely, your nervous system is going into overdrive if you’re having a painful kundalini experience. Some ways to calm your nerves can include:
您的神經系統可能會在痛苦的昆達里尼體驗中過勞，鎮定神經的方法包括：
· Taking a warm bath with essential oils like lavender (you can also try magnesium salts). If a warm bath doesn’t sound like your cup of tea, try a cold shower. Be mindful and notice how your body and mind respond to the temperature of the water.
· 用薰衣草等精油浸浴（您也可以試試鎂鹽）。如果熱水浴不是您杯茶，不妨嘗試冷水淋浴。靜觀、留意您身心對水溫的反應。
· Find something/someone that brings you a feeling of safety. This might be cuddling your dog or cat, asking your partner or friend to hold you, finding a cozy nook in nature, or relaxing in a corner of your house that brings you comfort.
· 去找那些可以給您安全感的物件/人。可以是擁抱您的狗或貓、請伴侶或朋友抱住您、到自然尋找恰然的角落、或在舒適、能安撫你的家中一角放鬆。
· Listen to calming music.
· 聆聽平靜的音樂。
Try slow guided breathing using an app like Calm or InsightTimer. (Be mindful of how your body responds. At the first sign of discomfort stop immediately.)
嘗試使用Calm或InsightTimer等應用程序進行緩慢的引導式呼吸。（請注意您的身體的反應。在第一次出現不適跡象時，請立即停止。）（編按：以防您誤用了方法讓昆達里尼流動得更亂。）
Ground yourself outdoors in nature.
在戶外的自然中為自己接地。
Eat grounding foods (potatoes, root vegetables, organic meat)
吃接地食物（馬鈴薯、根類植物、有機肉）
2. Stop all spiritual practice temporarily
2.暫停一切靈修
Yes, your spiritual practice might be amplifying the effects of your kundalini awakening. So stop. Let yourself rest. If you crave a replacement practice, try mindfulness as it helps to ground you in the present moment. Read my article on the spiritual emergency for more helpful ideas.
是的，你的靈性修行可能會放大昆達里尼的啟動效果。所以停下來，讓自己休息吧。您若渴望進行替代練習，可以嘗試正念，因為它有助於你回到當下。閱讀我關於靈性危機的文章，裡面會提供更多有用的想法。
3. Seek out compassionate help
3.尋求具同理心的幫助
If you still struggle with the kundalini energy being too intense, I strongly recommend seeking out the guidance of a transpersonal or depth psychotherapist. The best guides are those who understand the importance of integrating the mind and spirit (or spiritual psychology). There are also people who specialize in kundalini awakening help that you can find online – but tread carefully. Trust your instincts. If you feel worse or if you get weird vibes about someone, you don’t owe them any explanation. Leave. Find someone else. You have the right to get the guidance you need.
如果您仍因昆達里尼能量過強而掙扎，我強烈建議您尋求超個人心理學或深層心理學治療師的指導。最好引路者是那些知道如何融合心智和靈魂重要性（或靈性心理學）的人。您可以在網路上找到一些專業於昆達里尼的人，但要謹慎行事。相信你的直覺。如果您感到更糟或感覺某人有詭異氣氛，你也不欠他們任何解釋。離開去找別人。您有權獲得所需的指導。
[Kundalini Awakening FAQ]
[昆達里尼啟動的問與答]
Here are some other questions you might have about this powerful experience on the spiritual journey:
對於靈性之旅中獲得的強大體驗，你可能還有其他一些疑問：
What happens after kundalini awakening?
昆達里尼啟動後會發生什麼？
Usually, there is a period of long integration after the kundalini awakening experience. In other words, it takes a while for the mind, heart, and soul of a person to fully comprehend what they’ve been through and translate that into daily life. For some (extremely) rare people, kundalini awakening results in liberation from the separate self and the realization of non-dual awareness (also known as ‘enlightenment’).
通常，在昆達里尼覺醒後有一長段融合期。換而言之，人的大腦、心臟和靈魂需要一段時間才能完全理解它們經歷過的一切、而後在日常生活演繹出來。對於某些（極）罕見的人，昆達里尼覺醒讓他們從分裂的自我中解放，並發展出非二元意識non-dual awareness（亦稱「開悟」）。
How to have a kundalini awakening?
如何使昆達里尼覺醒？
There are many methods out there that help to stimulate kundalini energy. Most involve either Tantric and/or Yogic practice. Visualization, plant medicines (like psilocybin mushrooms and ayahuasca), certain breathwork techniques, belly dancing, and meditations also help to awaken kundalini energy. But remember to always be gentle, go slowly, and know what you’re doing. Kundalini energy is powerful and not to be messed around with.
有很多方法可以刺激昆達里尼能量。大多會涉及譚崔和/或瑜伽練習。可視化練習、植物迷幻藥（如迷幻蘑菇和死藤水）、特定的呼吸技巧、肚皮舞和冥想也有助於喚醒昆達里尼能量。但是請記住要保持溫和、慢慢走、要清楚自己在做什麼。昆達里尼的能量很強大，切勿擾亂它。（編按：沒有推廣某使用迷幻植物的意圖，關於它的一切各家有不同說法，請自行判定。）
How long does kundalini awakening take?
昆達里尼覺醒需要多長時間？
The answer is that it varies for everyone. Some people experience the awakening of kundalini early on their spiritual path (indeed, for some it actually triggers the spiritual search). For others, kundalini awakens after many years of spiritual practice. There is no set in stone rule here: it depends on your unique energetic blockages, destiny, soul, and many other factors.
答案是每個人都不同。有的人在靈性道路上很早就啟動了昆達里尼（事實上，對某些人而言它反而觸發了靈性探索）。對於另一些人而言，昆達里尼在多年靈性修行後醒來。它沒有固定的規則：這取決於您獨特的能量阻塞、命運、靈魂和許多其他因素。
“As the kundalini awakens, you naturally become aware of your true nature, the nature of God, and the purpose of your existence. It is an accelerated path to God-Realization, and can create many extraordinary experiences and realizations.”
– Steven Sadleir (Looking For God)
「隨著昆達里尼覺醒，您自然地意識到你的自性、上帝的本質以及你存在的目的。這是通向神聖自我實現的高速路，可以創造許多非凡的經歷和領悟。」
– Steven Sadleir (Looking For God)
Kundalini awakening can happen gradually and subtly or explosively and rapidly on our spiritual awakening journeys. Known as the Serpent Power, the Inner Woman, and the essence of Shakti, kundalini energy can be a force of tremendous awakening or deep enslavement. The key is to be mindful, practice spiritual discernment, trust in your soul’s strength, and seek help where needed.
在靈性覺醒之旅中，昆達里尼的啟動可以逐步又微妙、或爆炸般迅速發生。昆達里尼能量被稱為蛇的力量、內在的女人和原始之母的本質，它是浩瀚的覺醒或深度的奴役。關鍵是保持正念，鍛鍊出靈性洞察力，信任自己靈魂的力量並在需要時尋求幫助。
Remember that the ultimate purpose of kundalini is to dissolve the inner knots that keep you small and limited, helping you to awaken to your Eternal, Primordial, True Nature.
請記住，昆達里尼的最終目的是消融使您弱小而受限的內在心結，協助您喚醒永恆、原始又真實的本性。
