Kundalini
Kundalini is a Sanskrit word that refers to the potential or latent energy that is located at the base of the spine. According to the Vedic tradition which describes Kundalini, it is a primal feminine energy, called Shakti, which is responsible for all manifestation.
The kundalini rises up the spine through nadis, channels through which subtle energy flows through the human energy field. The primary nadi, called the Sushumna, is a channel which runs up through the spine starting just below the first chakra and going to the crown of the head. There are two other channels which go up the spine, the Ida and Pingala. The Ida, carrying feminine energy is on the left, and the Pingala, carrying masculine energy is on the right. They alternate sides at the chakras as they rise up the spine, as seen in the picture below.
The translation of kundalini is “coiled snake”, the snake being a symbol of the potential untapped energy which is concentrated at the first chakra. This spiritual energy is said to be activated by meditation or breathing practices which causes it to rise upwards to open and activate the chakras (subtle energy centers in the body). As it “rises” up the spine it is said to bring about altered states of consciousness and can enhance one’s spiritual development.
There are many teachers and systems in the East and West that offer programs to awaken kundalini to empower the individual to develop higher states of consciousness. We feel one should proceed with caution in this area because this energy is very powerful and activating it may lead to undesirable results if the teacher is not skilled enough or properly qualified to teach kundalini.
