Day 2 - The Awakening Within

Stepping into flow & opening to the sacred energy rising.

I was moving through the day still riding the high from the night before, the spontaneous healing, the sacred inner child work, and the synchronicities that continued to arrive like little cosmic love notes. I felt more grounded, more confident, and more present. And good thing, because Day 2 threw us straight into back to back Spinal Flow Sessions.

Thrown into the Deep End.

This was a full dive into Spinal Flow, not just theory but embodiment. We rotated roles as practitioner, client, and observer throughout the day. We learned how to track the different styles of flow expressed in the body (perception, breath and movement) and how to feel subtle changes in the spine between sessions. Watching the body come alive, whether with soft undulations or more expressive waves, it felt like I was witnessing something ancient and intelligent, yet something deeply human.

Energy in Motion: Practitioner and Client Perspectives.

As practitioners, we were taught to let our fingers be guided, to find the right access points along the spine or cranium. It was as if our finger tips became little magnets, drawn exactly to where they were needed on the clients body. I was in awe of what I saw in others, and what I felt in myself.

The most important lesson? That healing doesn’t come from outside. This is your own Life Force Energy rising. You don’t need to believe in anything external. You only need to let the body lead.

Your Own Energy, Your Own Healing.

Even as a client, I was prepared that “maybe it won’t work on me.” But it’s impossible for this not to work, because it’s not something being given to you. It’s what’s already within you. And once it’s activated, the body responds. Gently. Powerfully. Intelligently.

For me, the sensation was like being back on land after a long day at sea, only this time, the motion came from within, my spine was alive with energy.

The day was intense. We each received and provided over four Spinal Flow sessions, and by the evening I was both deeply nourished and utterly exhausted. I went back to my room, needing to decompress, snacked on tortilla chips with hummus, and watched some comfort TV. Just trying to drop into “human mode.”

But the Universe, again, had other plans.

The Rise of the Inner Fire.

As I lay on the bed, I felt the familiar wave of energy begin to rise. I was back in the energetic sea. At first, I didn’t think much of it, I often feel energies activating in and around me. But this time, it was different, it felt like the spinal wave from earlier but it didn’t subside. In fact, it intensified.

After lying there observing this sensation for a few minutes I noticed a tingle at the base of my spine. I had felt this sensation a few times before over the last few months, like little buzzing bees. But this time it didn't fade after a couple of minutes. It was spreading upward, along the sacrum, a slow-moving current. Pulsing and expanding. It built gradually until the energy in my root and sacral chakras surged open.

I was just observing at first, curious, fascinated. But then the Spinal Wave intensified. I could feel the energy of each heavy serpentine ripple moving through me, so palpable it made me sit up and I could feel myself sway in motion with the energy. And that’s when it happened.

The Kundalini Awakens.

A rising liquid heat, hot, so hot it felt cold. Like quicksilver, it began flowing inside the base of my spine. Slowly, steadily, it climbed. My breath caught. It’s happening, I thought. It was my Kundalini awakening.

I hadn’t expected it that night, but I wasn’t unprepared. For months, I had been receiving signs and feeling tingles. In my typical way, I had made an agreement with the Universe, Bring this when I’m ready. Bring only what I can hold. Show me what needs to be cleared first. And slowly, step by step, I had done just that. Now, in this moment, it arrived.

I could feel the liquid energy climbing and it reached just above my sacral chakra, until it paused. It was exactly as others describe, transcendent, orgasmic, ecstatic, all-consuming. And then eventually it began to settle, slowly dissolving back into a pulsing, tingling field. The intensity faded. And eventually I gently brought myself back.

I opened my eyes, lightheaded and buzzing, and whispered to the Universe, “What was that…?” I glanced at my phone to get a grasp of time again, and I noticed over an hour had passed since the Kundalini started rising and I got absorbed.

Living in the Afterglow.

The sensations didn’t leave me after that night. The spinal wave, my life force energy, it stayed active. Two days later, I felt the Kundalini stirring and rising again, softly awakening and moving, before settling down once more, not yet reaching my solar. 

And while I know the start of my kundalini rising had long been moving toward me, and I had done the work. I also feel that receiving Spinal Flow was part of the reason it arrived in the way it did. The energetic clearing, the nervous system regulation, the activation of the spinal wave, it all helped to clear the path. 

The connection between Spinal Flow and Kundalini isn’t something I fully understand,  not yet. But what I do know, deep in my body, is that this week was divinely timed. A sacred process had begun. And it was never meant to stay dormant.

There was no doubt in my mind or body anymore, this Immersion was my catalyst.
And there was no turning back.
