Kundalini is the cosmic energy lying dormant within the human body. This latent
energy resides in the kunda or the pit at the base of the spinal cord, in the form of a
serpent like coil. This place in the body or energy center is
the base chakra or the Mooladhar Chakra. When stimulated, it travels from the base
chakra to the crown chakra orSahasrara Chakra in the form of
awakened kundalini or superconsciousness.

When it rises to the highest point, it unites with the Godhead, which is the divine
energy of the Almighty - be it Shiva or Krishna or Brahma or the union of male Shiva
and goddess Shakti, and the person attains a state of liberating rest or samadhi.
How to Raise Your Kundalini

The process of raising the kundalini is easier said than done. It requires a different
orientation of the mind and body, way of life and yogic awareness, meditation, will
power, and rigorous regular practice and perseverance that cannot be mastered in a
day. [Scroll below for 5 tips]
How is it Like to Attain Kundalini
First a person has to learn the methods from a guru and train himself in a systematic
way with sincerity and complete dedication. Gradually the gross senses will begin to
fine tune and the person will be aware of the subtle sense perceptions and subtle
energies within and without his body. Awakened kundalini starts to ascend, passes
through each chakra and reaches the brain. Once a person begins to awaken this
energy at every chakra point, s/he will be aware of a sensation in the brain.

It could be as varied as a tingling, numbing, cold or a warm feeling along the spine
or the forehead or the top of the head. Some experience enhanced creativity, some
develop super sensory perception and smell hear and perceive divine images,
sounds or fragrance, some even perceive memories from subconscious self or
collective subconscious.
Notwithstanding the different sensations a person experiences, there is definitely a
feeling of superior consciousness. If any chakra is congested in between, kundalini
becomes static and the person experiences mental disturbances. On the other hand,
if s/he is able to master the art of activating kundalini shakti or power, s/he will be
free of worries, anger, jealousy, pride, covetousness, gluttony, sloth, lechery, and
sorrow. S/he will ascend above all evils and attain a spiritual bliss or as some would
term it liberation from the cycle of life and death / moksh / nirvana.
Controlling the Chakras
In Sanskrit the word 'chakra' means wheel. There are seven chakras or centers of
dynamic energy in our body, and when they are set in motion the kundalini
shakti passes from the root to the crown through the spine or the Sushumna nadi,
resulting in positive effect on the physical body as well as on the psychological and
spiritual evolution of a human being. It not only improves physical health but also

leads a person away from the illusions of the material world that surrounds us
towards an awareness and understanding of the spiritual world around. Read more
