The concept of kundalini is extremely complicated. Understanding the concept itself needs a lot of patience and dedication. A considerable time need to be spent on practice. No amount of explanation is good enough to understand the concept. The experience of kundalini may not be the same between two persons. This is basically because of the level of energy is not the same in everybody. The energy level of a person depends on various factors such as food, exercise, meditation, thoughts, habits etc. One needs to have many positive qualities, a flexible body, self control, etc. All these will produce positive energies in our body. These are some of the minimum requirements, even to have a look at the word kundalini. Kundalini energy if properly aroused becomes kinetic and explodes like a thunder accompanied with lightning. It is always advisable to practice it in the presence of a learned Guru. Practicing on your own will lead to serious nervous and mental complications.
Therefore you are sincerely advised not to try on your own any of the procedures described herein. We will discuss about kundalini through a series of articles commencing from this posting. Kundalini is the energy generated when individual consciousness merges with universal consciousness. Normally the kundalini lies at the base of our spine. To be precise, it lies in the centre place between the organs of excretion and procreation. In our discussion we will call this place as the house of kundalini. In any individual the body temperature is maintained due to the activities that take place in and around this place. The door of the house of kundalini is to be knocked repeatedly to wake her up. Kundalini is considered as shakthi, the feminine form of vimarsha. In her desire to conjoin with Shiva, the prakasha form, she has to traverse through a path. As she is the supreme form of action, she traverses the path with a roaring sound. You can visulaise a racing car crossing a point with a thundering sound. If a human made and human run car can produce such a speed and sound, it is left to your imagination to visulaise the power of kundalini.
Kundalini is the kinetic energy and generally dormant in her house. When she is in her dormant form she is in the form of dormant energy and when she is awakened she transforms into kinetic energy and then into dynamic energy. She rises only if she gets her kinetic form. While ascending she faces certain blocks that are not so easy for her to penetrate. Secondly, she will not traverse through a path full of dirt. She has got a liking only for clean and serene environment. Normally, efforts are taken by individual consciousness to clean her path of travel. When she ascends, she is the master and all activities of individual consciousness come under her control. Kundalini can be awakened only if your law of karma permits. Kundalini energy is manifested and does not exist in reality. Manifestation of kundalini can take place only through a properly trained mind and intellect. Concentration of mind is the basic criteria in kundalini meditation. If concentration of the highest order is not developed, enjoying the bliss of kundalini is a distant dream. Kundalini is the combination of psychological and physiological activities. It is a short cut to divinity.

Once while I was practicing body relaxation( start from toes to head) using earphones, I experienced a strange feeling when the instructor reached head relaxation. As soon as he mentioned the head part, suddenly there was an extremely loud generator like sound ( i could not even hear the audio) and I started moving backwards faster and faster ( like being sucked in towards my head). I got very scared thinking it would cause some nerve damage and tried to come out of it..and I was able to. What do you think it was that I experienced?

While practicing meditation or while practicing relaxation, it is always advisable not to use any audio, which could seriously disturb the tranquil mind.

I just noticed that you have a youtube audio for kundalini meditation - that contradicts what you just wrote above, doesn't it?

Hi Trived, I don't think it was a spiritual experience. I'm more inclined to think it was a state of mind between fully awake and sleep ( like lucid dreaming/ sleep paralysis ) Since I was very relaxed, maybe my mind was trying to get into sleep mode, but I was still awake (If you know what I mean..)

Hello Ravi Sir, If liberation is possible through Kundalini meditation and regulating our breath why do we need Mantra Japa? For a beginner who is initiated into Sri Vidya what will be the best course of action? Please explain Sir. Eagerly awaiting your reply. Many Thanks Appy

Mantra sadhana and Kundalini meditation are two different paths to Liberation. Kundalini is related to meditation and breath control, whereas mantra sadhana is full practicing mantra japa and propitiating the concerned deity> Mantra sadhana is always better than the path of Kundalini, which is riskier.

Thank you Ravi Sir. But even during Mantra sadhana we do pranayama, align our breadth with the mantra and meditate. Will this not activate Kundalini?

Sir, I read somewhere on this website that the youtube clip for Chakra Cleansing & Energization is safe for everyone. How about the Kundalini Meditation clip, Sir? Is is safe for a mantra japa sadhana practitioner to do it? Thank you Sir

Pranayama that we practice during mantra japa is different. It is mild and for a shorter duration. In the case of Kundalini, breathing is accompanied by bandhas and mudras. When you do mantra japa regularly along with pranayama, Kundalini may ascend on its own. But, we should not forcefully raise such vibrations and allow it to take its own course.
