The Steel Yogi

Welcome to my story and journey as a self proclaimed Yogi and my journey spontaneous Spiritual/Kundalini awakening.

I say accidental but was it?

My life mantra has always been - “Your journey is unfolding exactly as it should be….” I have this hanging in my bathroom and I see it everyday. It hasn’t made 150% sense until now… all of the experiences always felt accidental or that I stumbled upon them. For example my career and my marriage. I always felt how I found them when I least expected it and that someone was guiding me. Almost like an invisible string pulling me from the universe guiding me along the way.

Not to say that I’ve had an easy life. Quite the contrary, in fact the past five years have been by far the hardest so far of my life for a number of reasons but I’ll go over more on that later.

So why am I sharing this and starting this podcast? Spiritual or otherwise known as kundalini awakening in the yoga world is a life changing experience. Very hard to navigate alone and can be so scary if we don’t know what’s happening. I am just here to share my story and what has gotten me through it and to this point. I would never even have thought a year ago that I would be this way now and practice chakra yoga? I took yoga seriously and loved it but I never dove deep into the meditation aspect of it or the why of certain postures. I had no idea about the 7 chakras and that you can heal and balance your body…..

Okay so before I tell my Story let’s answer this important question?

What on earth is a kundalini awakening?

Here is the google definition:

Kundalini awakening

The experience of Kuṇḍalinī awakening can happen when one is either prepared or unprepared. According to Hindu tradition, in order to be able to integrate this spiritual energy, a period of careful purification and strengthening of the body and nervous system is usually required beforehand.
