Kundalini Yoga

 

Kundalini yoga is considered the most powerful form of yoga. Kundalini

yoga comes from the Sanskrit word kundal, which means the lock of the

hair from the beloved. The hair symbolizes the unlimited potential

inside each individual.

 

Basic Idea behind Kundalini Yoga

 

In Kundalini Yoga the creating and sustaining Sakti of the entire body

is in fact and truly united with Lord Siva. It uses asanas, pranayama,

and mantra. It is based upon Kundalini energy which is " one's dormant

spiritual energy. "

 

This energy is symbolized as a coiled up snake at the base of the

spine, which is the first chakra. The energy is released through

breathing, chanting, and movement in order that you can recognize your

full potential.

 

It brings together the masculine and feminine powers of the body. The

goal of Kundalini yoga is to move the Kundalini energy up through all

seven chakras. When you reach the seventh chakra you experience

enlightenment.

Kundalini yoga is not only useful in strengthening the health and

Kundalini can be awakened by various means and these different methods

are called by different names, viz., Raja Yoga, Hatha Yoga, etc.

 

Chakras

 

A yoga practitioner should know something about the spinal column,

which is the location of five of the seven chakras, or energy centers

to practice Kundalini yoga. We all know that the spinal column is part

of the human nervous system, which also includes the brain and nerves.

 

These things jointly are responsible for our thought, imagination,

memory, and intelligence. Five of the seven chakras are situated

alongside the spinal column and the remaining two chakras are situated

on the head one in the middle and one on the top.

 

A person can visualize the Kundalini energy traveling up the spine as

he or she breathes. This energy begins and ends with that individual.

It is the awakening of the self. Often a person will feel warmth along

the chakras, when an individual awaken the Kundalini energy. Others

have reported they feel a tingling sensation.

 

Kundalini yoga includes a set of postures and exercises that work on a

particular area of the body, mind, and spirit. There are hundreds of

these sets, which can be used to awaken a yoga practitioner to his or

her full potential.

 

These postures deal with each aspect of human nature right from the

issues of physical health to issues of mental health to general well

being.

 

Yoga practitioner enters a state of deep relaxation often accompanied

by spiritual music and sometimes a gong after the completion of the

sets. Lastly, the yoga practitioner of kundalini yoga ends up with a

breath or mantra meditation.
