KUNDALINI [cont'd]

Kundalini is regarded as the creative force or energy of the universe, the underlying substance of all reality. It is seen as the source of everything and described as supremely blissful and all-powerful. Yogis speak of it as the basis of all yoga, that which allows for the perfection of any yogic system. Kundalini is the power that activates, which makes everything move. It is the power that the disciple receives from the teacher and the power that the teacher activates in the disciple.

Diverse modes of awakening the Kundalini have been described in yoga texts but the easiest and most beneficial is when the teacher transmits the energy into the student.

Each person's experience of Kundalini is unique. Some people have dramatic experiences. They see visions, feel strong rushes of energy or devotion, or perform spontaneous physical movements. Many others feel the effects more subtly or more slowly. The ultimate effect of the process, however, is the same for everyone. It creates a tangible change in the day-to-day quality and experience of living. The awakening of Kundalini allows spiritual students to undertake an accelerated path for change and growth.
