What is Kundalini?

Kundalini is a spiritual energy located at the base of the spine where it lies dormant. It's believed to be the essence of divine consciousness and connects the physical body with the spiritual universe. 

​

Kundalini energy is vital for overall well being and harmony of the body and mind. When the energy flows properly the harmony that results can promote good physical and mental health along with inner balance.

​

Traditions of Kundalini

To awaken this energy, one can pursue the traditions of the Kundalini and Kriya yoga as these were designed to redistribute energy within the body.
