Top-Down Kundalini Awakening: My Journey with the Golden Serpent of Light

When most people think of a Kundalini Awakening, they picture a serpent coiled at the base of the spine, spiraling upward through each chakra until it reaches the crown and connects with Source. This is the most traditional, most talked about and most understood Kundalini awakening, from the bottom-up. 

But my spiritual journey took a different path.

Mine came from above.

The Start

My Awakening started with something simple yet powerful: the choice to learn who I truly am and to start honoring how I feel. For years, I ignored my own emotions until they often bottled up, ending up in a misregulated mess. At times when I felt my internal compass pulling me one way, I ignored it and followed the path expected of me. When I finally began to listen to my heart and trust my inner voice, something inside of me cracked wide open.

I felt a gentle streaming of light through my crown chakra, filling every part of my body. My higher self stepped forward, guiding me through massive life transitions - divorce, moving into the unknown, starting a second business, and leaving behind so many parts of myself. At the time, it felt as if I had no choice. My guides were so strong, pulling me in directions that defied logic but felt so right with my soul.

By allowing my connection to my higher self to guide me, I learned the profound power of surrender and trust. I began channeling healing modalities that I had never studied, simply remembering ancient wisdom that my soul has carried for lifetimes. Even when I didn’t consciously know what I was doing, another part of me did. That remembrance allowed me to heal others, and through healing others, I experienced deeper levels of healing within myself.

The Golden Serpent

Unlike the classic bottom-up Kundalini awakening, mine descended like a golden serpent of light, spiraling down through my body, activating sacred gifts and energetic channels. Not all at once, but piece by piece a deep puzzle unlocked inside of me. It wasn’t linear. The energy moves through me almost like an infinity pattern, weaving through different chakras simultaneously, unraveling old layers while awakening divine truth. 

Although I experienced an infinity sign of activations, a top down awakening often descends down the chakras…

    •    Crown: Divine consciousness pouring in, opening a direct connection with Source.

    •    Third Eye: Intuitive gifts awakened, psychic vision became vivid and undeniable.

    •    Throat: Voice transformed, speaking truth with divine resonance and activating healing through words.

    •    Heart: Walls dissolved, compassion expanded infinitely, and love for all beings deepened.

    •    Solar Plexus: Old ego identities burned away, replaced with authentic power rooted in divine alignment.

    •    Sacral (Womb): A profound purification unfolded; emotional, sexual, and ancestral imprints released, and celibacy became a sacred pause for womb healing.

    •    Root: Heaven fully anchored into earth, Shakti energy integrated into my body, allowing me to hold and embody more divine light.

Integration and Grounding

Even now, as this energy continues to ground and spiral through me, more gifts unravel, changing how I move through life and how I transition into each new chapter.

I’m finding my voice, honoring it, and fully embodying my soul’s healing work. This awakening has been the greatest gift of my life, but it’s not a final destination.

I now know I will forever be a golden serpent navigating this world - shedding old skin, sometimes becoming blind like a snake before transformation, yet always continuing forward. Each spiral brings me closer to my highest self, closer to divine alignment, and closer to fully embodying heaven here on earth.

The work is never done… and for that, I am endlessly grateful.

Signs You May Be Experiencing a Top-Down Kundalini Awakening

    •    Feeling divine light or energy descending from above into your crown

    •    Sudden intuitive knowing or psychic abilities activating rapidly

    •    Major life changes or transitions that feel divinely guided

    •    A sense of being pulled by unseen forces toward your soul’s purpose

    •    Spontaneous healing abilities or channeling without formal study

    •    Periods of celibacy or womb purification that feel spiritually aligned

    •    Tingling, pulsing, or pressure around the crown chakra

    •    Initially feeling ungrounded, later integrating energy into the root

A Journey of Remembering

A top-down awakening doesn’t bypass the traditional rising Kundalini, it eventually unites with it. Heaven descends, Shakti rises, and together they merge, allowing full divine embodiment on Earth.

If you’re experiencing this, trust the spiral, trust the guidance, and allow yourself to shed old layers. This isn’t just an awakening, it’s a remembering of who you’ve always been and the sacred gifts you came here to share. 

Navigating a Kundalini awakening ( whether it’s rising or descending) can feel overwhelming, isolating, and confusing at times. Through my own journey of top-down awakening and years of work, I’ve learned how to ground spiritual energy, unlock sacred gifts and integrate consciousness into my everyday life. 

I offer long-term coaching for intuitives, healers and anyone who feels called to deepen their connection to Source, find clarity in their path and fully embody their divine essence.  You do not have to navigate this transformation alone. If you’re ready to trust your awakening and step into the fullest version of yourself, I invite you to book a discovery call with me.
