What is kundalini yoga?

Kundalini yoga is known as one of the most powerful types of yoga. Sometimes it was called the mother of all the Styles of Yoga. This type of yoga awakens the energy at the base of our spine which is known as the Muladhara Chakra.

The word Kundalini was derived from kunda which means coiled. Kundalini Sadhana is described to be the coiled energy that looks like a serpent, hence a coiled serpent, which has three and a half coils which are resting at the bottom of the spine. The three coils in Kundalini Yoga are known as the three Gunas which are the Sattva, Rajas, Tamas. The Vikritis represent the half coil.

So Kundalini yoga is the power, in the form of a coiled serpent, residing in Muladhara Chakra, the first of the seven Chakras, the other six in order being Svadhishthana, Manipura, Anahata, Visuddha, Ajna and Sahasrara.

From an anatomical point of view, kundalini is located in the perineum region of our body. For the males, it resides between the testicles and the rectum. For the female, it is between the clitoris and the vagina.

What is kundalini yoga? Kundalini Yoga is also known as the symbol of the union of opposites. The male power is known as Siva and Sakti is female. They are the fundamental resource of power and energy when they are united. The union of Siva and Sakti occurs in the brain and from this comes the sense of feeling and affection, energy, love.

Kundalini is often represented in art, literature, and stories as a serpent or snake, and as such it had many definitions: Kundalini as a perfect fruition of Life: the energy of soul; the energy of the cosmos within each individual; creative energy, the dormant energy within us that expands our awareness; the greatness of which we are each capable; enlightenment manifestation and liberation; the source energy of the entire world of form; Kundalini is music and color, the awareness of the higher self; a condensed, primal force, similar to the potential energy found in water; a healing force, the formative, biological energy dormant in our bodies; the science of raising one’sconsciousness to higher levels; the energy of life, or the Divine, as it is experienced in the individual; the creative energy that initiates puberty; Kundalini is the energy, the life force.

Kundalini Yoga gives reward to Yogis who maintain unity awareness and spiritual transformation. The Kundalini produces a hissing sound when it is awakened. It sounds just like a beaten serpent as it goes from the Muladhara Chakra to the Brahma Nadi and to the Sahasrara Chakra.
