Expanding into Sadness and Aliveness: Living Fully Through Every Emotion

One of the most surprising things I’ve received through Kundalini Activation is how the release of all that repressed sadness opened me up to laughter in a way I never expected. As I let go of the layers of sadness I had carried for years, something else emerged: I found myself laughing—more freely, more deeply, and more often than I had in a long time. It was like a wave of lightness washing over me and for the first time in ages, I didn’t take myself so seriously.

Once I allowed the sadness to move through me, I felt this expansion into joy and lightness. It was like I had been holding my breath for so long and suddenly, I was exhaling in laughter. I realised that these two energies—sadness and laughter—are just different expressions of the same aliveness.

As I experienced more laughter, something else began to change: gratitude. I had spent years trying to feel genuinely grateful, but it always felt forced, like something I was trying to make happen rather than something that flowed naturally. But once the laughter came, once I stopped taking myself so seriously, the gratitude began to deepen effortlessly.

I found myself feeling grateful even for the things I had once resisted or avoided. What once felt like a practice of forcing became an organic part of life.
