What Is Kundalini Power?

“While kundalini can be compared to the Holy Spirit within Christian mysticism, the New Testament offers no explicit model of psychophysical transformation in the manner of the yogic traditions. Thus, while for someone actually experiencing the Holy Spirit, the correlation with kundalini may make perfect sense and be extremely useful, to someone without a Christian outlook there are few conceptual reference points to understand their experiences and the process of transformation it brings.

Thus, particularly in the climate of secular and scientific Western culture, it may help to distinguish between public and personal models of kundalini awakening.

This is not to say there is anything wrong with theistic belief systems, nor that they fail to explain the kundalini experience, but rather that for a wider public living outside that particular world view or belief system it may not provide a language or conceptual framework with which they can easily sympathise either emotionally or intellectually.

Personal models of kundalini awakening often centre on theistic belief systems, and, as said above, there is clearly nothing wrong with this, for Christianity, Sufism and Kabbala, for instance, all offer profound frameworks within which to view kundalini.”

“Kundalini The Kundalini is the primordial mother energy of all creation, which dwells in every human being. She lies dormant within the sacred triangular bone located at the base of our spine, in 3 1/2 coils. But when she is properly awakened she rises at once into the region of the great Void around the navel. Thereupon the Kundalini flows over the heart and into the hands and soles of the feet. There she emerges from the body as a cool breeze and manifests her powerful force. She is the breath of Goddess in human beings. This pure force of Kundalini frees all parts of the body from disease. Joint by joint she enlightens the various regions of the body and frees the flow of blood through the arteries and veins. Once every cell has been enlightened, the Kundalini again permeates the whole being and fills it with divine power. At the same time she absorbs all the forces of the body into herself and only she, the primordial force of life, remains. . . . The divine Breath is the reflection of the primordial Kundalini, the immaculate Goddess. She is truly the Mother of the whole Universe, the ultimate majesty of the soul.”

“The seventh chakra is called sahasrana in sanskrit . It is most often described in the yogic texts as a thousand petaled lotus . Some texts locate the chakra at the crown of the head , while others declare it is located above the crown of the head in order to differentiate it from the other six . By awakening the anja center, a person has achieved wholeness through the process of psycho spiritual integration . S/he has transcended fear, and experienced unconditional joy.

In tantra, the awakening of the crown chakra corresponds to the union of shakti (the feminine principle) with shiva (the male principle). This union, once formed, lasts forever. by achieving this state, a person goes beyond the confines of sequential time and finds themselves centered always in the unchanging eternal present. S/he goes beyond the state where s/he chooses self unconsciously at every moment to the state where self doesn't exist, where self becomes the entire universe which is contained within it. By being the universe , the person ceases to understand his universe because to understand is to cease to be.

When the anja center is awakened, a person experiences reunion with the all and everything contained in the all. There is no return from this state. There is no death when this state is achieved. There is nothing but emptiness, and in emptiness one finds himself in the all, the universal field of energy and consciousness.”

“The extreme psychophysiological exercises of this highly sophisticated and effective, spiritual transformative degree have been practiced in India for at least four thousand years, we know from the evidence of a number of engraved stamp seals from the period of the Indus Valley Civilization, c. 2000 BC, featuring figures seated in a classic yoga posture known as mulabandhasana, which is still in practice." Similar kundalini or "Serpent Power" evidence is evident in ancient civilizations: an ornamental Sumerian ritual vessel, the Libition Vase of King Gudeau of Lagash, c. 2000 BC; a Egyptian judgement scene from Theban copy of the Book of the Dead of Kenna c. 1405-1376 BC (nineteenth dynasty); a Chou Dynasty three and one-half coiled bronze serpent in the Musee Guimet, Paris c. 1027-256 BC; the magnificent serpent-deity, the Feathered Serpent of the Mayans; the Navaho sand painting of the Great Corn Plant and the mystic Pollen Path.”
