Kundalini is the coiled up energy at the base of the spine. In order to move the kundalini energy, the physical energy has to be purified. Use chakra healing techniques regularly. which are described in earlier blogs. Use Kapala Bhati to clear the nadis, which are astral tubes, psychic energy. Focus on the base of the spine. Pick up the color of energy you want to work with. I recommend associating the energy with a Deity, God or Goddess. For example, Jesus is yellow, Mary is red, Vishnu is blue, Lakshmi is orange, etc. Male is left side of the base of the spine or first chakra. Female is right. Moving upwards to second chakra, male goes right, female left. Male is again left on third chakra, female right. On the heart chakra and hands, female is right, male is left. On the fifth chakra, the throat, male is left and female is right. On the sixth chakra, male is right and female is left. On the crown both meet. Bring the energy up, through the chakras, through the hands, through the neck, through the head to the crown chakra. Energy goes where your attention moves. Do it softly so you can feel the affect. The more the practice, the easier the kundalini energy will move through the body. Bring the energy down from the crown to the bottom of the feet, crossing through the heart chakra, through the spine, through the thighs, knees, calves, ankles, feet and the soles of the feet where all the nadis are as well. Ground the energy. The more we think about our feet, the more we connect with Mother Earth. Earth is where all the actions happen. You can also listen to Anahata Nada to move the energy down through the body to the sole of the feet. Kundalini is the cosmic power in individual bodies. It is not a material force like electricity or magnetism. It is a spiritual potential, Shakti or cosmic power. In reality it has no form. It is the coiled-up, sleeping Divine Shakti that lies dormant in all beings. This mysterious Kundalini lies face downwards at the mount of Sushumna Nadi. When it is awakened, it makes a hissing sounds like a serpent, hence it is also called serpent power. Kundalini is the goddess of speech and is praised by all. She Herself, when awakened by the Yogin, achieves for him the illumination. It is She who gives liberation and knowledge for She is Herself that. She is also called Saraswati for She is the source of all knowledge and bliss. She is pure consciousness itself. She is Brahman. She is Prana Shakti, the Supreme Force. It is by this Shakti that the world exists. Creation, preservation and dissolution are in her. In the center of the spinal cord, there is minute canal, called canalis centralis. Brahmanadi runs along this canal from the Muladhara (first chakra) to Sahasrara (seventh chakra). This is the God astral tube. It is through this nadi, Kundalini when awakened passes to Brahmarandhra. God conscious is felt when this nadi is open. Within the Sushumna there is a Nadi by name Vajra which is lustrous as Surya (sun) with Rajasic qualities. Again within this Vajra Nadi, there is another Nadi, called Chitra. It is of Sattvic nature and pale color. The qualities of Agni, Surya and Chandra (fire, sun and moon) are the three aspects of Sabda Brahman. Here within this Chitra, there is Canalis Centralis. In this center exist all the six chakras. Ida and Pingala are on the left and right side of the spine. Chitra is the highest and most beloved of the Yogins. It is like a thin thread of lotus. Brilliant with five colors, it is in the center of the Sushumna. It is the most vital part of the body. It is the giver of immortality. It is a giver of Moksha (liberation). One should always meditation on the Sushumna, by running prana through it. The ancient yogis considered the Sushumna Nadi as the spinal cord. They believed that the spinal cord is not just physical but has the spiritual inclination as well, with the major nadis running through it, connecting to God. Ida and Pingala are subtle nadis that carry the Sukshma prana. In the physical body they tentatively correspond to the right and left sympathetic chains. Ida starts from the right testicle and Pingala from the left testicle. They meet with Sushumna nadi at the Muladhara chakra and make a knot there. This junction of three nadis is called Mukta Triveni. Changa, Yamuna and Saraswati dwell in Pingala, Ida and Sushumna nadis respectively. This meeting place is called Brahma Granthi. Again these meet at the Anahata and Ajna Chakras. Ida flows through the left nostril and Pingala through the right nostril. Ida is also called Chandra nadi (moon) and Pingala as Surya nadi (sun). Ida is cooling and Pingala is heating. Pingala is of fiery red, Rudra Rupa. Ida is of pale, Sakti Rupa. Ida and Pingala indicate Kala (Time) and Sushumna swallows Time. If the breath rises by Ida (moon) at sunrise and flows throughout the day, and Pingala (Sun) rises at sunset and flows throughout the night it confers considerable good results. Let the breath flow through Ida the whole day and through Pingala through whole night. he who practices thus is verily a great Yogi. The equilibrium of the universe is maintained by a polarity of positive and negative, male and female, the static and the dynamic. Whatever exists in the universe, the macrocosm, exists also in Man, the microcosm. The masculine passive ground force, Shiva, resides in the sahasrara, the seventh chakra, located in the crown of the head. Shakti, the feminine active power, lies coiled at the base of the spine. It is manifestation of cosmic power in the body and is in a dormant, potential state. Not a material force, it is the pristine psychic and spiritual power that underlies all organic and inorganic matter. Because of it's spiral-like upward motion when awakened, it is referred to as serpent power, and is depicted iconographically as a serpent coiled at the base of the spine. The arousal of kundalini leads to union with Lord Siva. It is the state of supreme consciousness and spiritual enlightenment. According to yogic theory, there are approximately 72000 nadis, astral nerve tubes, the most important of which is the sushumna, the astral body's counterpart to the spinal cord. On either side of it are two nadis known as ida and pingala, which corresponds to the left and right sympathetic cords in the physical body. Prana, vital energy, flows through them. As long as it does so, man is engaged in worldly activities, and is bound by time, space and causation. However, when the sushumna operates, he is beyond such limitation. Each chakra has specific nadis associated to it, corresponding to each alphabet in Sanskrit language. Make sure to keep the prana in the spine, that is the sushumna astral tube. Do regular practice to move the energy within the astral tube with mudras, i.e. Brahma/Saraswati mudra for the base, Vishnu/Lakshmi mudra to move the energy in the middle, heart and throat area and Shiva/Parvati mudra for top of the head, third eye and crown chakra. Do meditation on Shiva as the kundalini energy reaches to top of the head. Bring the energy back the same way to the base of the spine. Most of the time, the left brain and right brain gets out of balance. Practicing of Kundalini meditation in the center sushumna, balances both sides.
