Not all awakening is Kundalini awakening, although it is a commonly used term.

Types of awakening: Different varieties of awakening experiences, triggers and awakenings.

• Kundalini Awakening: What Kundalini is.
• Signs and symptoms: The best way to know if you are awakened. (On my other site, Kundalini-gateway.org. The symptoms section of this site is here.)
• Spiritual awakening: One can be spiritually awakened, but not kundalini awakened. Top-down openings.
• Near Death experience: ... can cause spiritual awakening, or a Kundalini awakening.
• U.F.O. Abduction: symptoms are very similar to those of Kundalini awakening.
• Shaman Initiation: True shamanic awakening is very rare.
