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.
