Understand that kundalini is a reservoir of female energy coiled at the root chakra at the base of your spine. When released, it travels upward -- opening all the chakras -- and unites with the crown chakra, Shiva, a male energy.

Rise above desires
Rise above earthly desires and go beyond the senses. Achieving purity of mind will help avoid the temptations that follow the powerful, awakened kundalini.

Purify the body
Purify your body by drinking plenty of water, eating nutritious foods, exercising vigorously, and getting massages. Abstain from recreational drugs, alcohol, tobacco, junk food, and caffeine.

Step 4
Practice yoga
Practice yoga to build your body and mind for awakening. Kundalini yoga, hatha yoga, bhakta, and jnana yoga are all recommended.
