¤ kundalini ¤
"Kundalini'' is an ancient Sanskrit word derived from the roots kund, which means to burn, and kunda, which means coiling like a serpent. A coiled female serpent. The dominant spiritual energy in all human beings, that is awakened by the Guru, through shaktipat initiation. After awakening, this energy is the dynamic force behind meditation. It is an elemental, creative force of the astral body which, like a serpent, rests coiled at the base of the spine. The male and female forces are represented in the balanced Ida and Pingala subtle channels. Everyone uses Kundalini power to think with and to maintain consciousness, but it very seldom rises up the central spinal channel of Sushumna beyond the first center. Various disciplines areused to arouse the "sleeping serpent" to ascend tothe higher centers.
In the classical literature of Kashmir Shaivism kundalini is described in three different manifestions. The first of these is as the universal energy or para-kundalini. The second of these is as the energizing function of the body-mind complex or prana-kundalini. The third of these is as consciousness or shakti-kundalini which simultaneously subsumes and intermediates between these two. Ultimately these three forms are the same but understanding these three different forms will help to understand the differerent manifestations of kundalini.
