The Awakening Kundalini and the Twin Flame Journey

Some awakenings unfold slowly through curiosity. Others arrive as a full interruption—touching the body, identity, work, relationships, and direction all at once. In this conversation with Lisa Cerise, spiritual awakening was not an abstract concept. It was something lived through illness, surrender, sobriety, business closure, and the intensity of a twin flame connection that demanded deeper self-honesty.

Lisa shared that her kundalini awakening began during a period of significant life change. She was participating in daily guided meditations, around 30 minutes each, originally with a practical intention: improve flow in business, health, and life by clearing energetic blockages. At the same time, she was becoming sober and restructuring her life. Looking back, she believes doing everything at once accelerated the process.

What began as a desire to enhance her business gradually shifted. At one point, she remembers thinking clearly: the business no longer mattered—her healing did. That internal pivot marked a turning point. The focus moved from achievement to wellness, from expansion to restoration.

Around the same period, she experienced a severe shoulder injury. What started as bursitis escalated into complications from a cortisone injection, followed by infection, drains, worsening symptoms, and hospital admission. There was even a moment when she was meant to travel north for meditation, but something within her said not to go. She listened. Shortly after, her condition deteriorated and required urgent medical care. For her, that experience reinforced the importance of trusting inner guidance.

After leaving the hospital, she returned to meditation, but something had changed. Walking into her salon, she found herself crying. The vision she had built—salon ownership, a training school, franchise expansion, learning to become a CEO—no longer felt aligned with her. She recognised how deeply her identity had fused with being a successful business owner. The salon represented achievement, status, and proof of capability. Yet beneath that ambition had always been another desire: to grow the business enough to eventually step away and pursue what she considered soul-aligned work.

The awakening exposed the attachment. She described the business as having become an ego identity. Letting go was not just logistical; it was emotional. Closing the salon meant letting go of a 20-year identity as a nail technician. Even selling physical items carries attachment, revealing how tightly identity can bind itself to material and professional markers.

She also emphasised that awakening is not a single event. It unfolds in waves—periods of clarity followed by voids, dark nights, and questions about direction. Rather than labelling experiences as good or bad, she described life as cyclical, rising and falling like a wave. Drawing from teachings such as Abraham Hicks, she spoke about emotional alignment and “getting into the vortex,” learning to observe thought loops without being consumed by them.

After closing the salon, she felt drawn toward content creation. Watching spiritual awakening stories on YouTube inspired her to share her own journey. She joined programs focused on discovering purpose, experimented with yoga and volunteering, and explored different expressions of service. Along the way, she recognised that not everyone is meant to resonate with her message. Instead of trying to fix or save others, she felt guided to create and allow the right audience to connect naturally.

When asked what the kundalini awakening felt like in her body, she described entering trance-like states during meditation while music played and messages were channelled. She felt energy moving through her like a snake—mirroring traditional kundalini symbolism. There was intense calmness, silence without mental noise, and a sense of protection and connection. At times, her body wanted to move with the energy, even when instructed to remain still. After these experiences, her priorities shifted. The business lost urgency. Wellness and truth became central.

The conversation then moved into the twin flame journey, described as a powerful catalyst for awakening. Twin flame dynamics were framed as mirroring—triggering deep love, longing, confrontation, and growth. The intensity can feel overwhelming and illogical, stirring emotions that seem disproportionate to circumstance. Attachment to outcome often amplifies the pain, while the love itself reveals something deeper.

A key insight that emerged was the distinction between the person and the desire beneath the experience. Instead of focusing on absence—“they’re not here”—the invitation was to ask: what is the underlying desire? In the dialogue, a clear truth surfaced: the desire to be loved. Not superficially, but as a core longing connected to years of responsibility, self-reliance, and emotional protection.

The twin flame connection then becomes a mirror. The love sought externally reflects an invitation to restore love internally. The experience does not simply revolve around union with another, but reunion with the self.

Identity and vulnerability were also explored. Growing up in an environment where sensitivity was not welcome led to developing strength as a form of protection. Over time, vulnerability revealed itself not as weakness but as capacity—the ability to hold space for others in sorrow and remain present in depth. Once that lesson was integrated, a new message emerged: live, play, loosen control. Awakening was no longer about enduring pain or proving strength, but about learning freedom without clinging to certainty.

The conversation moves across kundalini activation, illness, surrender, identity shifts, creative reinvention, and twin flame intensity. Yet the core remains steady: awakening can dismantle what once felt stable. Surrender can feel like loss before it feels like alignment. Desire can illuminate what has long been missing. And when identity changes, so do the structures built around it.

For Lisa, the journey is ongoing—still integrating, still unfolding, still finding language for experiences that often feel larger than words.
