Kundalini Energy

Kundalini energy is experienced when the energy of the glandular system combines with that of the nervous system to create such a sensitivity that the brain as a whole receives signals and integrates them. The autonomic and voluntary nervous systems come under conscious control, allowing a person to become completely aware of himself and his environment. The kundalini energy is the creative potential of everyone; in its experience lies the realization of that potential.

Some say that mankind once lived in total God-consciousness. Between man and God there was no difference, except that man was manifest on this earth and God was unmanifest. Then man turned from God-consciousness to maya, the illusion of the senses, so God separated man's consciousness into two halves. One half man uses to live his earthly life, but the higher consciousness remains sleeping until man evolves far enough to be able to use it again. The story of Adam and Eve might be said to represent this fall from grace, the garden of Eden being a state of total awareness, the apple representing maya, and the serpent representing kundalini, divine knowledge.

In fact, the kundalini energy has often been called "serpent power," a name whose sinister implications hardly do justice to the benign reality of this energy field. The yogis of India regard it as the embodiment of "Adi Shakti," the primal creative power. It is the energy that developed us, gave us the shape we have, and brought us on earth. It is pure energy, without residue. The word itself is sometimes translated "coil of the beloved's hair." In its dormant state, it lies coiled at the base of the spine.

In a functional sense, all that needs to be done to activate the kundalini is to uncoil this energy and connect it with the pineal gland at the top of our heads, which after a child reaches 8 years of age normally ceases to secrete fully. When that master gland, the "seat of the soul," taps the energy of the kundalini, it will begin to secrete as it did when we were young. This is the state called "kundalini risen"; some call it enlightenment.

Awakening the Kundalini

The process by which this unfolding occurs is complex. The kundalini will not awaken and rise until two energies are integrated and balanced. These two forces are apana and prana. Apana is an eliminating force; it affects functions operating on both gross and subtle levels in the body to expel negative energy and waste. In reference to the process of raising the kundalini, it might be considered the "vital air" below the navel.

Prana is the "vital air" above the navel. The life force penetrating every atom of our form, and indeed, of the universe, is stored in our bodies at the eighth thoracic vertebra, the part of the spine located near the bottom edge of the shoulder blades. This pranic center, by means of the 'pranic nerve,' enervates the U-shaped muscle responsible for autonomic nervous system function -- heartbeat, movement of the diaphragm, responses beyond our conscious control. The ancient yogis could create pranic energy reservoirs at the "pranic cavity" and live on that reserve.

To stimulate the kundalini, one must inhale and hold the breath, directing prana down to the navel point. Then one exhales and "holds the breath out" (i.e., refrains from inhaling), drawing apana up from the base of the spine to the navel point. When prana and apana meet and unite, a tremendous "white heat" or "tapa" is created at the navel point. The combined energies are often described as the filament of sushumna ("silver cord"), a nerve current or "nadi" thought by some to correspond to the governor vessel meridian of Chinese medical theory, and by others to correspond to the central nervous system of Western medical theory. When the energies combine, this sushumna lights up like the filament in a light bulb suddenly plugged into its source of electric power. Responding to breath control and mental direction, the integrated energies depart the navel point and descend to the base of the spine, where they stimulate the dormant kundalini. Further breath control and the application of the will cause the force to rise, along with the kundalini power, charging the higher centers of consciousness, the chakras. In this way a person's energy can be transmuted into higher forms.

Well, that's the theory of kundalini yoga. Now here are a few excerpts describing practical applications of this theory:

Improving Sexual Potency:
A Yogic Alternative to Viagra

Stand with the right leg bent forward enough so that the toes can't be seen over the knee. The left leg is straight back, with the foot flat on the floor at a 45 degree angle to the front foot. Extend the right arm straight out in front of you, parallel to the floor. Make a fist as if grasping a bow. Pull your left arm back as if pulling a bowstring back to the shoulder. Create a tension across the chest.

Face forward. Fix the eyes above the front fist to the horizon. Hold the position for 3 to 5 minutes, then switch legs and arms and repeat.

Dealing with Depression

Sit with a straight spine in a comfortable, cross-legged position, or sit in a chair with your spine straight and your feet on the floor. Arms are extended straight out in front of you, parallel to the floor. Close your right hand into a fist. Wrap the fingers of your left hand around your right-hand fist. The bases of the palms touch. The thumbs are close together and are pulled straight up. The eyes are focused on the thumbs.

Now inhale for 5 seconds (do not hold the breath in); exhale for 5 seconds; hold the breath out for 15 seconds. Continue.

Start with 3 to 5 minutes and work up to 11 minutes. Build up the time slowly. In time, you can work up to holding the breath out for 1 full minute. However, take care not to hold the breath out so long as to make yourself dizzy or nauseous.

To Open the Heart

This exercise uses a "mantra" or sacred chant. The purpose of mantras is to help us identify with the infinite healing energy within us. We are all children of God, and the mantra reminds us of our divine birthright.

Sit in a comfortable, cross-legged position, or sit on a chair, with your spine straight and your feet on the floor. The chant to use is SAT KAARTAAR ("a" as in "bus"; "aa" as in "far"), which means "true doer." As you say SAT, the hands are pressed together at the center of the chest in prayer mudra (fingertips pointing up).

As you say KAAR- the arms are extending out in front of you with palms facing out and fingers pointed straight up. As you say -TAAR the arms are moving out to the sides parallel to the floor, palms still out and fingers still pointed up. Then bring the hands back into prayer mudra. Make the transition from step to step in a flowing movement. Repeat this process for 3, 11, 31, or 62 minutes.

An Ancient Yoga Exercise
to Raise the Kundalini

The yoga exercise (or "kriya") described below is probably the most powerful exercise  in the science of kundalini yoga. With regular practice, "Sat Kriya" increases the lung capacity, perfects the functioning of all the body organs, stimulates circulation, generates and raises great energy, and brings the experience of kundalini energy rising up the spine. Precisely because it is a very powerful exercise, if you have a medical condition, be sure get your doctor's approval before you try it out. Also, listen to your own body -- it will tell you how long and how strenuously it wants to do the exercise.

Before practicing this exercise, inhale deeply, exhale completely, and tune in to the divine teacher within you. Talk to God in the language of your heart. Next, sitting on the heels, with a straight spine, stretch your arms straight up overhead, hugging your ears. Interlace your fingers, with only the index fingers pressed together and pointing straight up. The eyes are closed and focused at a point midway between and slightly above the eyebrows, about 1/4 inch inside the skull (the "third-eye point" or center of Christ consciousness).

Chant the sound SAT ("a" as in "bus") from the navel point as you pull "root lock" (pull up and in on the rectum, sex organs, and navel point). Then release the lock as you chant NAAM ("aa" as in "far"). ("Sat naam" means "Truth is my identity.") The breath will come automatically. The shoulders will naturally rise up an inch or two as the lock is pulled. The spine does not flex.

Continue for 3 to 31 minutes. Then inhale and exhale long and deep several times. On the last exhalation, hold the air out and apply root lock again. Keep the spine straight and the chin tucked slightly in. Focus on drawing energy up the spine to the third-eye point. Inhale. Repeat the breathing exercise and the lock once or twice if you wish, but never to the point of discomfort. Then relax out of the posture.

Lie down on your back, arms resting along your sides, and relax. Be sure to allow at least as much time for this relaxation as you took to do the exercise.

About Self-Healing

Here is a quote from Yogi Bhajan, whose teachings were the inspiration for the book "Yoga for Health and Healing":

"The process of self-healing is the privilege of very human being. Self-healing is not a miracle, nor is it a question of being able to do something that most people can't. Self-healing is a process that occurs through the relationship between the physical and the infinite power of the soul. It is a contract, a union -- that is the science of kundalini yoga."
