Kundalini Yoga and the Awakening
The most powerful yoga is known as Kundalini Yoga. It is considered
so powerful that it has been called the 'Mother of all the Styles
of Yoga'. This type of yoga awakens the base of our spine, which
is known as the Muladhara Chakra.
The word ''Kundalini' was derived from 'kunda' which
means pot. Kundalini Sadhna is described to be coiled
energy that resembles a serpent with three and a half coils,
which rests at the bottom of the spine. The three coils in Kundalini
Yoga are known as the three Gunas, which are the Sattva, Rajas,
and Tamas. The VIkritis represent the half coil.
In anatomy, the kundalini is found in the perineum region of
our body. For males, it is found between the testicles and the
rectum. For the female, it is found between the clitoris and
the vagina.
.
Kundalini Yoga is also known as the symbol of equality and
power for both genders. The masculine power is known to be Siva
and for the females, Sakti. They become the elemental source
of power and energy when they are united. The union of Siva
and Sakti occurs in the brain, which gives us the senses of
feeling and affection, energy, and love. This means that Kundalini
Yoga is good for eliminating the feelings of sorrow, depression,
anger and jealousy.
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.
Yogi Bhajan introduced Kundalini Yoga in 1969. It includes
the practices of the common Mantra, meditation, chanting, breathing
and the classic poses. This type of yoga actually focuses more
on chanting and breathing and not on the Kundalini Yoga Poses
alone.
The Nervous System and the Spinal Cord are the main focus
of Kundalini Yoga.
The Nervous System, as we all know, is the main control or
the center of our body. The Nervous System is responsible for
the imagination, thoughts, intelligence and the memory that
we possess.
The Nervous System is composed of the brain, the nerves, and
most especially, the Spinal Cord, which gives us posture and
stance. The Spinal Cord is made up of delicate nerves and tissues,
which require our care. Kundalini Yoga is the most appropriate
practice for this.
The famous Kundalini awakening is not that easy to learn. It
is also not something that we can find or learn in books. If
we could, we might be confused or perplexed in learning the
process.
If you want to master Kundalini awakening, it should be based
on experience. After a series of trials and sessions, dedication
and concentration, you will find that the Kundalini Awakening
has taken place.
If you want to stay healthy and maintain good posture, Kundalini
Yoga is just waiting for you to to take advantage of the benefits
of practice.
