There is so much misunderstanding about kundalini and kundalini meditation.
I read the following in Wikipedia:
Kundalini is described as a sleeping, dormant potential force in the human organism. It is one of the components of an esoteric description of the ‘subtle body’, which consists of nadis (energy channels), chakras (psychic centres), prana (subtle energy), and bindu (drops of essence). Kundalini is described as being coiled up at the base of the spine, usually within muladhara chakra. The image given is that of a serpent coiled three and a half times around a smokey grey lingam. Each coil is said to represent one of the three gunas, with the half coil signifying transcendence. Through kundalini meditation, and various esoteric practices, such as kundalini yoga, laya-yoga, and kriya yoga, the kundalini is awakened, and can rise up through the central nadi, called sushumna, that rises up inside or alongside the spine. The progress of kundalini through the different chakras leads to different levels of awakening and mystical experience, until the kundalini finally reaches the top of the head, Sahasrara chakra, producing an extremely profound mystical experience.
This is my personal view on kundalini meditation.
Kundalini is the organising intelligence which allows you to physically live and breathe, and connects
your body with your aura, for the whole of your life.
In India, Kundalini is generally what people seek, and it has a whole mythology and “ritualistic ignorance” accompanying it, and this can be seen in symbols and images, of snakes being worn on the body of Gods. There is a whole iconography of alchemy being displayed, all over the religious texts accompanying Kundalini meditation, and its journey from the base of the spine to the head.
When kundalini is raised, it can stimulate the pineal gland and the pituitary gland into activity, stimulating the intellectual process’s and psychic process’s in the individual if they are able to raise it.
Kundalini meditation is not , but it is a million miles more ‘spiritual’ than religions, so people all over the world crave access to Kundalini. Some institutes in California have been set up to try and find kundalini in the body, as science now believes it is what organizes the entire body-mind relationship.
Kundalini meditation is a massive subject, and people can have access to an energy system which millions in the world want to have raised within them. There are many books on kundalini which have been written by different spiritual teachers. Some of these show a profound understanding of the body mind relationship.
Some Kundalini meditation courses in India cost about ten thousand dollars, which last for
several weeks. But people do not get the actual energy raised at all, just breathing and dancing and chanting. Raising the kundalini through Kundalini meditation is very rare, that is why millions of Indians try for decades making sacrifices to raise this energy within them. Some, even starve themselves almost to death, hoping Lord Shiva will take pity on them and raise the energy, which from my perspective is sad, as there is a great deal of nonsense written about the energy by people who have never raised it.
There are a great many archetypes in the subconscious mind of the average person, which hold them back, and this creates low self-esteem, and Kundalini will help move this attitude away, so that is why raising the kundalini can help some people.
