Old energy rising? Here’s how to let it go

Peace Be With You Reader,

Most people consider Kriya only to be a breathing technique.
But the word "Kriya" actually means cleansing.

When you practice Chakra Kriya, the breath fills your nervous system with prana and invites Shakti to do her work. She reveals what is out of balance and then clears it.

Sometimes this phenomenon happens in meditation: tingling, heat, cold, and waves of emotion.
​
And occasionally it happens in daily life:
- A sudden overreaction.
- An old wound resurfacing.
- A volatile thought or feeling that makes you wonder, “Why is my mind doing this?”

That is how you know: it’s a Kriya.
The imbalance is showing itself so it can leave.
What you feel is what you heal.

Kriya vs. Die-off

Kriya literally means cleansing. It’s the process itself. A kriya is when prana and awareness combine to push out stored blockages through the body, the nervous system, and the mind. These sensations can show up as shaking, tingling, spontaneous breath patterns, heat, cold, visions, waves of emotion, or even sudden reactions in daily life.

Die-off is one form a kriya can take. It’s when a stored blockage dissolves and the emotional charge tied to it (anger, grief, shame, fear, etc.) rises to the surface to be felt before it leaves. It feels like something old "dying off" inside you.

So you could say:
➡️ Every die-off is a kriya.
➡️ But not every kriya is a die-off.

This is why Kundalini awakening can sometimes feel blissful and sometimes feel messy. The nervous system is being rewired. Old blockages are dissolving. Triggers and surges are not setbacks; they are proof that purification is happening.

Just as the body uses fever to burn out toxins, Kundalini uses kriyas and die-offs to cleanse the nervous system.

So ask yourself…​
- What if every trigger was not a setback but a doorway?
- What if every rise of anger, fear, or shame was energy on its way out?
- What if your most difficult moments were actually proof of progress?

This is the difference between suffering in confusion and walking out of the fire, loving the process itself.

This philosophy is why in 4DAP, we celebrate kriyas and even our die-offs.
They are the unmistakable signs that awakening is underway.
And we teach you exactly how to raise the kundalini safely and handle the kriyas with a new level of ease.

Again and again, students walk away from practice saying:
✨ “I feel lighter.”
✨ “I finally understand what my triggers were showing me.”
✨ “I can love the process, even when it feels strong.”

We want you to begin your ascension process now—with support, safety, and clarity—so you can feel whether this path is correct for you.
