Kundalini: The Coiled Energy Within

Kundalini, a Sanskrit term meaning “coiled one,” is a concept in Hinduism referring to a powerful energy said to lie dormant at the base of the spine. It’s often visualised as a coiled serpent. This energy is believed to be awakened through various spiritual practices like yoga, meditation, or breathwork, leading to spiritual enlightenment and a connection with the divine.

Here’s a breakdown of the key aspects of Kundalini:

Location: Kundalini is said to reside in the Muladhara chakra, located at the base of the spine.
Dormancy: In its unawakened state, Kundalini is described as being coiled and dormant.
Awakening: Through spiritual practices, Kundalini can be awakened, causing it to rise up the spine through various energy centres called chakras.
Transformation: As Kundalini ascends, it’s believed to activate and balance each chakra, leading to personal transformation and spiritual growth.
Union: The ultimate goal is for Kundalini to reach the Sahasrara chakra at the crown of the head, signifying the union of individual consciousness with the universal consciousness.

Comparisons to Other Traditions:

The concept of Kundalini has parallels in other spiritual traditions:

Holy Spirit: In Christianity, the Holy Spirit is sometimes seen as a reflection of Kundalini.
Chi/Prana: In Chinese medicine and yoga, Chi or Prana is the vital energy that flows throughout the body. It’s seen as similar to Kundalini.
Resurrection: The awakening of Kundalini is sometimes compared to a spiritual rebirth or resurrection.

Dry and clean it from a fresh cloth and prepare for an Abhimantran (Energising) Mantra Pooja before wearing (after the ring or the ornament is made).
Get a little cow milk, fresh cow milk curd, pure honey, cow desi ghee (cow fat from milk), fresh water, yellow rice (or akshat unbroken rice seeds) and flowers (yellow and white preferably) ensure these are kept in pure utensils used in Pooja (not in regular use). If utensils are made of copper and brass that would be the best. Get some Ganga Jal (if from Haridwar or sangam), get roli Chandan, Dhoop and red aasan to sit and japa mala of 108 beads of Rudraksha for chanting the mantra after gemstone abhishekam.
If you are living abroad and don’t have Ganga Jal, find a river which has running water from a high mountains or glaciers we assume the water from a very high source such as mountains with ice is highly pure and energetic, use this water unfiltered or treated to energise the gemstone.

Combining Rudraksha Beads

For beginners on a spiritual journey, it is recommended to start with a combination of 5 Mukhi Nepali Rudraksha and one Ganesh Mukhi Nepali Rudraksha along with your Gemstones.

Do you know a few facts about Original Natural Nepali origin Rudrakshas :

According to a leading radiological research and analysis done at Banaras Hindu University of Varanasi in India, it is found that a Natural Nepali Rudraksha has a composition mix of copper, iron, manganese, barium, iron, gold and silver elements in different-different compositions in each Nepali Rudraksha. Each Nepali Origin Rudraksha has physiochemical properties, composition of minerals and moisture, oil and a specific gravity of 1.6481 and any Nepali Rudraksha having a gravity greater than 1 will sink in water else can float in water also.

Nepali Orginal Rudraksha is the only seed in the world which has seeds inside its hollow chambers which have seeds in its womb having “spandan” or vibration. This vibration is due to electromagnetic, paramagnetic and inductive properties which are very-very high in natural Nepali Rudraksha varying in different Mukhi’s which upon wearing and meditating purifies your blood and opens your heart chakra and agya (or ajna) chakra is also known as the third eye chakra.

It sends electrical impulses to the agya chakra making you aware and intuitive to take positive decisions and helping you transform your mental ability to think faster. In Hindu tradition, it is the sixth primary chakra in the body and is located in the centre of the forehead, between the eyebrows and meditating on this with Guru Mantra you can activate your Crown Chakra called Sahasrara. (*Made of a thousand Petals Crown Chakra is called Sahasrara).

Wearing a Rudraksha can change your personality inside out with clearer thoughts, a calm personality, a smiling face and an aura on your face, forehead temple and skin which radiates the energies of your activated chakra which others can sense by feeling good about you and that you automatic start healing others when you are around them.

Others start showing a positive way of speaking and looking at you. You may get this to hear often “You have changed or You sound different”. This is the power of Original Nepali Rudraksha, you have to wear it and meditate on its energy to feel the changes taking you to an alpha state of mind, activating the endocrine gland, regulating blood circulation, controlling high BP, reducing your breath count which helps you live longer removing depression or hypertension.

You feel the energy of neurons, which makes you calmer (neurons are the key players in the brain). That is the reason why in Hindu or Tebetian Buddhist Religion we are asked to chant mantras on a Rudraksha bead as by pressing a bead from 3 fingers in a way that presses an acupressure point in your thumb which starts opening your pineal gland, also known as the epiphysis cerebri or pineal body (in our language agya (or ajna) chakra), is a small, cone-shaped gland in the brain that produces melatonin, a hormone that regulates circadian rhythms and seasonal physiology.

It’s located in the midline of the brain, between the thalamic bodies, and behind the habenular commissure. The pineal gland is part of the endocrine system and is bathed in cerebrospinal fluid its main function is to produce melatonin in a cyclical pattern at night, which helps regulate sleep patterns and the body’s internal clock. Melatonin levels change throughout the day and year, and the gland’s rhythm is controlled by clock genes in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), which is synchronized to the light-dark cycle. Melatonin also affects the reproductive system and may help protect cells from damage. The main function of the pineal gland (in our language agya (or ajna) chakra), is to receive and convey information about the current light-dark cycle from the environment via the production and secretion of melatonin cyclically at night (dark period).

The ajna chakra or pineal gland is also connected to the pituitary and hypothalamus glands, as well as the eyes, ears, and nose hence upon wearing rudraksha increases your sensitivity or sixth sense. Some believe that the ajna chakra stimulates energies to provide clarity and move to a higher plane of perception or intuition which is called sixth sense.
