kundalini yoga

Mythipedia Entry – Kundalini Yoga

(in yoga) latent female energy believed to lie coiled at the base of the spine.

As with all aspects of the yogic arts, kundalini yoga works to integrate the various aspects of existence into a system which recognizes the unity at all things. As such, it is deeply tied into the understanding of cause and effect within the inner and outer experience of playing one’s character in the Great Story, which relates deeply to the cycles of life as they exist within the astronomy of the universe and within the self. As a practice, kundalini yoga uses postures, exercises and mantra to elevate the consciousness on a biochemical level, facilitating the rise of the kundalini, the dormant energy within the spine, and using it to transform one’s experience of life itself.
