The Kundalini Energy

Source: Sahaja Yoga, Brighton, UK

The kundalini can be thought of as a dormant energy lying in three and a half coils at the base of the spine. As it rises up the spinal column it is a bit like a rope with 1000 strands. The first time the kundalini rises the blockages in the chakras usually prevent more than a few strands from rising. Even this can give us great feelings of pure bliss, so imagine the possibilities......

Here's an animation of the energy rising so that you get a better idea..

As the Kundalini passes through the various chakras She cleanses them healing us of our mental, emotional and physical problems, bringing us into balance with ourselves & our environment, connecting us to a higher power..... a power that pervades the Universe.
