W HAT IS K UNDALINI SHAKTI?

Kundalini Shakti is the divine spiritual power within every human being. Known by many

names in many lands, this sacred inner presence is the divine within, the sacred light and

love that illumines each of us and guides us to union with the One, the ultimate Reality

beyond all phenomena, from which she is inseparable and of whom she is the subtlest

manifestation. Kundalini Shakti is each individual’s own personal spiritual director, who

strives to lead us to constant awareness of the Source. It is Kundalini Shakti who empowers

our striving for spiritual attainment and who works to lead us to full spiritual realiation.

!ll human beings, regardless of era, religion, or culture, are vessels of this holy omnipotent,

luminous presence that ardently urges us to cooperate with her efforts to increase our

spiritual awareness and growth. It is each seeker’s task to understand how best to assist her

in her dedicated service for our enlightenment.

"ore refined and profound than energy, Kundalini Shakti is enveloped in the mantle of her

own manifestation, the subtle body, which includes our energy, mind, and discerning

wisdom. #ithin this raiment, Kundalini Shakti resides in either a contained or a released

state. In her contained state, she is a tightly coiled static power that maintains the ordinary

person’s life functions, talents, and consciousness. $pon her release, Kundalini Shakti risesthrough one of several pathways in the subtle body and reaches whatever level is possible,

based on the conditions at the time of the rising. In her released state, Kundalini Shakti is

dynamically active and strives to improve her spiritual status and complete her rising,

pressing to elevate to the One, despite whatever blocks may impede her ascent. %er

ultimate goal is our spiritual fulfillment.

&here are a variety of perspectives on Kundalini provided by current te'ts and e'perts, each

with their own special contribution. (rom our perspective, Kundalini is not a path in itself

but a universal process. It is the essential common factor that is the key to all spirituale'periences regardless of an individual’s religious or spiritual orientation. Kundalini Shakti



is the means for deepening our connection to our spiritual endeavor and to the )ivine

Source itself.

TRADITIONAL K UNDALINI SCIENCE

&he study of Kundalini is the study of spirituality. Kundalini Shakti is the essential common

factor operant in all spiritual e'periences, regardless of one’s path or tradition, for

Kundalini is not a path in itself but is that which guides us along our chosen path. &he

ancient science of understanding Kundalini Shakti is found in all spiritual traditions,

though varying terms and symbols are used to describe it, and many methods are used to

attain it.&his universal, interspiritual science holds the knowledge of how to properly

support and manage our spiritual capacity in order to safely accelerate our spiritual

advancement and reach the spiritual goal. Impressive among the available models in its

breadth, technical precision, variety of methods, vocabulary, and inclusivity, is the *edic

model of Kundalini science, called Kundalini *idya. &raditional Kundalini Science +&KS

conveys the teachings of a lineage of Kundalini specialists within this tradition. Its outlook

is universal and practical- its focus and goal are spiritual. ! comprehensive system for

understanding and improving spiritual life, &raditional Kundalini Science is based on

ogic, *edantic, and Kundalini te'ts as well as the sacred scriptures and methods of other

spiritual traditions. It is ecumenical and does not seek to alter a person’s spiritual

orientation or lineage but rather to build on and deepen it.

P ATANJALI K UNDALINI Y OGA -C ARE

&KS is maintained by a timeless inner tradition and a small, intact e'ternal lineage that

updates itself with each new generation. It provides services to sincere seekers through

/atan0ali Kundalini oga12are +/K2. &he specialty of /K2 is to assist the 3ualified

spiritual seeker in elevating their rising to "akara point in $pper !0na chakra and then to

continue their progress upward to the pinnacle at 4indu. /K2 provides individualied

spiritual guidance so the seeker, by giving Kundalini Shakti their dedicated cooperation and

correct support, can more efficiently make good progress in hopes of becoming proficient in

Oneness 5'perience, which can eventually yield spiritual 6iberation.(or this purpose, /K2

offers spiritual education, assessments of Kundalini process, individualied

recommendations given in small spiritual retreats, and ongoing follow1up consultations

and retreats.Swami 2handrasekharanand Saraswati provides services in India, and his

!mericans.

SIGNS OF A K UNDALINI R ISING

Individual e'periences of Kundalini process vary considerably, but the basic signs of aKundalini rising that a person might e'perience include9

: feeling different, not fitting in

: a deep dissatisfaction or a yearning for inner development

: inner sensations of light, sound, current, or heat



: a heightened inner or outer awareness- increased sensitivity

: feelings of energy flowing or vibrating within

: special abilities, capacities, and talents

: non1ordinary phenomena- altered states

: spontaneous bodily movements or breathing patterns: emotional fluctuations- psychological issues coming forward

: atypical sensations or sensitivities

: an interest in spiritual growth or in metaphysics or the esoteric

: compassion and a desire to help others

: a sense that something non1ordinary, transformative, or holy is happening within

: personal development, and optimally, spiritual transformation and realiation

Kundalini Shakti’s efforts to improve her status can affect the subtle body +mind and

energy, causing a variety of e'periences, including subtle body activities that feel physical.

/eople can have a Kundalini release at some point in their lives, or they can begin this

lifetime born with an active Kundalini process. &hey may be aware of something special

going on, or they may not realie it until the process ripens later in life. Kundalini process

can be e'perienced as pleasant and gentle or as dramatic and uncomfortable. One need not

be having a ;spiritual emergency< to be having a deep Kundalini process.

!lthough there are clearly discernable patterns to Kundalini process, Kundalini risings offer

a limitless array of possibilities, and each is uni3ue. ! Kundalini rising does not necessarily

result in automatic holiness, virtue, genius, special abilities, e'traordinary e'periences, or

peculiar discomforts. "any people have risings that produce few remarkable manifest

characteristics other than some form of sensitivity and yearning and a talent or 3uality thatstands out to some degree. Such an individual is more aware of the subtle aspects of life and

is unsatisfied enough to seek more from life. &his may develop into an intense longing that

urges the individual to find purpose, meaning, and spiritual life, if they are not unduly

distracted into less satisfying temporary substitutes in the mean time.

#ith correct guidance, an e'periencer can properly support Kundalini Shakti’s efforts for

spiritual advancement, and progress can be safely improved, yielding personal

transformation and spiritual growth. If a person does not know how to correctly support

their process and if they engage in unhealthy and unspiritual lifestyle behaviors, their vitalenergy may become dissipated or misdirected. &his can stress the subtle body, possibly

yield eventual uncomfortable conse3uences and postpone spiritual progress.

8ot all Kundalini risings manifest phenomena that can be called spiritual e'periences. In

fact, some incomplete risings can be 3uite difficult because Kundalini Shakti’s efforts to

improve her status can affect subtle body dynamics, causing a variety of e'periences,

including subtle body activities that feel physical and may be uncomfortable. 4locked

risings or risings through cul1de1sac routes may yield some distressing and non1ordinary

symptoms and will thwart further spiritual development until the block or misdirection is

corrected. &he strain on the subtle body may render the e'periencer ultra sensitive and

urgently distressed, especially if they do not know how to properly support their rising.



Individuals might also use or misuse any special abilities provided by their risings for their

own worldly purposes, and this might eventuate in some discomforting side effects. If the

gifts provided by an arisen Kundalini Shakti are harnessed for non1spiritual purposes, the

resulting dissipation or misdirection of vital energy and likely ego inflation can postpone

further spiritual progress until the diffusion is contained and the inauspicious focuscorrected. Other factors are sometimes present that complicate a rising.

!n uncomfortable rising can result when Kundalini Shakti emerges spontaneously by

means of non1spiritual catalysts +such as life shock or incorrect intervention in an

unprepared individual whose subtle body is weak, to'ified, or unbalanced and who may

have no frame of reference for interpreting and responding to the e'perience as potentially

spiritual. !n emotional reaction to the rising itself can further disturb the subtle body.

Kundalini Shakti will work to resolve limitations in the individual’s system, and the

e'periences produced by her effort may be felt as uncomfortable and thus be considered

problematic by the e'periencer. It may even be labeled a ;spiritual emergency< or

;kundalini syndrome.< It may be wrongly pathologied by others who do not understand

spiritual e'periences because the process may meet enough criteria to be deemed a

diagnosable disorder or syndrome. Kundalini process is not a pathology, however, and it is

considered a blessing to be sought after by spiritual aspirants.

! blocked rising may eventuate in distressing discomforts, and the purification and

restoration that follows an improvement in a rising may also involve some discomfort. 4ut

eventually, these difficulties can be improved ! healthy, spiritual lifestyle supports a

positive Kundalini process. #ith the spiritual understanding and dedicated correct effort of

the seeker to cooperate with Kundalini Shakti’s purpose, grace is bestowed by the divine

correct to advance the person’s spiritual progress. /racticing appropriate spiritual methods

allows Kundalini Shakti to correct +divert, unblock, elevate a stuck rising so difficulties

with risings can be improved over time. $nimpeded risings through a direct route can

eventually impart a gentle process culminating in full spiritual attainment.

"any modern books define ;kundalini< as mere energy, but &raditional Kundalini Science

defines it as Shakti, the divine source of all energy. In the *edic and ogic te'ts, the various

kinds of energy in the human subtle system are referred to as the pranas or vayus. Shakti,however, is the %oly Spirit within. In addition, the popular term ;kundalini awakening<

may be used to refer to an initial release, arousal, or stirring of Kundalini Shakti in a person

with a new rising. 4ut it is also used to describe something different9 a new awareness of an

already e'istent rising that a person was born with, unbeknownst to them. Such showings

of an unknown rising are often mistaken for an initial release. !n individual’s rising can

become apparent at a karmically ripe time when the process makes some attempt to

improve its status or is stimulated or strained by some other factor. !ccording to this

model, these individuals e'perience a spontaneous ;ripening< of their rising, sometimes

following some inner or outer circumstance, but possibly with few apparent e'ternal

catalysts to e'plain the change.



THE SUBTLE BODY

Kundalini Shakti works in and through her container, the subtle body. &he subtle body

includes the three central sheaths +koshas of the five coverings that, according to the *edic

philosophy of India, comprise the human being +see the diagram under ;#hat is Shakti<.

&hese three aspects of the subtle body are the energy, mind, and discernment sheaths. &hey

manifest into the physical body, and they emanate from the causal body. &he causal body,

in combination with the One, the essential all1pervading core, is Kundalini Shakti, &he

)ivine within.

The three sheaths of the subtle body are:

=. &he energy sheath has a subtle physiology of its own, which employs the following

aspects9

2lick /hoto to 5nhance Images.

: subtle energy functions +vayus or pranas,

: subtle energy currents +nadis,

: subtle energy centers +chakras,

: subtle elements +tattvas,

: subtle perceptive and motor senses +tanmatras,

: subtle breath flow patterns +svaras,: subtle energy points +marmas, and

: subtle brain centers +dalas.

>. &he mental sheath is made up of the following functions9

: the sensory?motor thinking mind +manas,

: the persona, ego, or sense of I1ness +ahamkara, and

: the storehouse of past impressions and patterns +chitta.

@. &he discernment sheath is capable of directing awareness outwardly thru mind or

inwardly to the divine. It is called buddhi, the refined ability to discern what is truly good

and helpful for our inner development from that which is distracting and harmful. If clear,

it can convey )ivine wisdom to the lower mind



There are a variety of perspectives on Kundalini provided by current texts and

experts, each with their own special contribution. From our perspective,

Kundalini is not a path in itself but a universal process. It is the essential

common factor that is the key to all spiritual experiences regardless of an

individual’s religious or spiritual orientation. Kundalini hakti is the means fordeepening our connection to our spiritual endeavor and to the !ivine ource

itself. The sincere spiritual seeker supports Kundalini hakti’s ascension agenda

by purifying and strengthening their subtle and physical bodies with healthy

spiritual lifestyle, accompanied by correct spiritual practice. "ith this skillful

cooperation, Kundalini hakti is eventually able to elevate herself to union with

the #ne. $ltimately, a Kundalini process can culminate in spiritual reali%ation,

attainment of the ultimate goal, returning to her ource in #neness, &indu, the

pinnacle, which is the 'reat Illumination beyond phenomena.

K INDS OF K UNDALINI R ISINGS



!ccording to &raditional Kundalini Science, Kundalini Shakti constantly strivesto attain a lasting Oneness e'perience by elevating to 4indu, the pinnacle whereshe can reside in union with /ure 2onsciousness. (or her ascent, there are si'routes, the Shakti nadis, through which she is able to elevate. &he Shakti nadisare9 Susumna, *a0ra, 2hitrini, 4rahma, Saraswati, and 6akshmi. &he mostcommon risings are through Susumna, *a0ra, Saraswati nadis. &here are also

various energy center +chakra levels in these routes at which she might act or

take up residence in the course of her efforts until she can go higher.&he kind of rising a person gets depends on the vitality and dynamics occurringin their subtle body at the time of the initial Kundalini release. &his, along withtheir individual nature based on the pattern of past karmas they carry,determines the types of e'periences they have. 8on1ordinary e'periences canoccur at any level. !n advanced healthy rising is full of peace, awareness, andunderstanding.2orrect spiritual practice can affect the 3uality of a rising, as can factors such aslifestyle behaviors and the interference of subtle influences. &he kind of risingspeople have, along with the past karmas they carry, determine the types of e'periences they go through. It is the effect of the rising on vayu +energy

dynamics and the contents of the person’s mind that creates the e'periencedphenomena reported by people with a Kundalini rising.



&o prevent or remedy a blocked rising and to assure spiritual development,careful effort is re3uired to make the individual’s container +body, energy, mind,discernment strong and pure so Kundalini Shakti can function comfortably andspiritual growth can be attained. &herefore, the great spiritual traditions providemethods that serve to unblock or divert incomplete risings to make them stable

and allow them to proceed to spiritual results.

variety of e'periences possible in the stages of development in Kundalini

process.No RisingKundalini Shakti remains unreleased, contained in "uladhara chakra, the Rootcenter subtly corresponding to the perineum at the base of the spine. &his is thestate of an ordinary person, one with no release or rising and no special vayudynamic in "uladhara.Kundalini StirringKundalini Shakti is shaken within "uladhara due to stimulation of the vayus+energies. &he vayus in "uladhara spin, but Kundalini Shakti maintains herplace at the mouth of Susumna nadi and does not uncoil her grip from aroundits base, and so she is not released or arisen. &he e'periencer may shake, weep,

dance, run, 0erk, laugh, cry out, or have glossalalia or other remarkable



phenomena. &his may inspire or motivate the e'periencer to repeat the behaviorthat was the catalyst for the stirring.Kundalini ArousalKundalini Shakti uncoils within "uladhara chakra and withdraws from theopening of Susumna nadi due to stimulation of the vayus, but the energy vitality

is too weak and the mind too unfocused or not sufficiently spiritually engaged tosupport an actual release from the Root center. !fter an arousal, there is norising, but Kundalini Shakti stays uncoiled at the Root center, unaware of andunrelated to her Source, for she is no longer facing upward through Susumna tosee her Aoal. She does not recoil her grip around the base of Susumna nadi, andshe resides ungrounded and disturbed. If there is no training for the person toremain focused on virtue, she might be distracted by negative downward pullsand enter the dark substrata minor chakras below "uladhara, there to becomeengaged in nefarious traits and behaviors.Kundalini ReleaseKundalini Shakti uncoils, withdraws from the opening to Susumna, and, having

enough energy and focus in the subtle system, is able to e'it "uladhara chakra.&his can take place when the pranic system is sufficiently vital and clear and

when specific conditions, including intense mental and emotional focus, created by spiritual practice or life shock, are present. Kundalini Shakti can then enterone of the si' available Shakti nadis and elevate to whatever level she is able toreach at that time. &he nadi she enters depends on the conditions present in theindividual at the moment of the Kundalini release.Partial Rising (Susumna to Heart)Kundalini Shakti breaks the cap of Swayambhu linga +one of three suchstructures in Susumna nadi in the Root chakra and goes through the whirlwindabove it, rising into Susumna nadi and elevating to the level of !nahata chakra,

the %eart center, under the cap of 4ana linga. Such a rising is unstable, meaningthat Kundalini Shakti does not stay at the %eart level but goes up and downintermittently within the lower levels of Susumna, with her base camp at"uladhara, the Root center. &his causes mild to moderate fluctuatinge'periences until she is able to break through the 4ana linga cap at the %eartand elevate higher in Susumna.Intermediate Rising (Susumna to Throat or Loer !ro)Kundalini Shakti rises through Susumna nadi, breaks the cap of 4ana linga atthe %eart center, and elevates to the level of *ishuddha chakra, the &hroatcenter, or to 6ower !0na chakra, the 4row center. &hese are stable risings, asKundalini Shakti remains steadily positioned at the level she has attained and

from there attempts to ascend and break the cap of Itara linga in !0na chakra,the 4row center, so she can reach "akara point at the top of !0na. /racticaltalents may be bestowed on people with these risings, but over harvesting themmay dissipate and strain the subtle system, delaying spiritual progress."e#e$ted Rising (%a&ra and Sarasati nadis)

!t the time of her initial release, Kundalini Shakti, deflected from enteringSusumna nadi, enters either *a0ra nadi or Saraswati nadi, whereupon she risesimmediately up to Sahasrara, the &housand /etaled 6otus, and opens braincenters there, only to swiftly descend back to "uladhara, which becomes her

base camp. (rom there, she intermittently goes up and down within the nadi shehas entered, making these risings unstable. araswati nadihasthree granthis +knots that must be opened, and (a)ra nadi has five bands in

activation, various talents and remarkable e'periences might result fromdeflected risings, but there may be some strain also, as Kundalini Shakti cannotreach the pinnacle +4indu from either of these cul1de1sac nadis and so becomesfrustrated in her efforts to unite with the One. Such a rising must be divertedinto a culminating nadi, usually Susumna, and then must be elevated from there

to "akara point in $pper !0na chakra in order to access the $pper /rocessnadis that lead to 4indu.'au 'ull Rising (**er San+hini nadi)Kundalini Shakti elevates through Susumna nadi and pierces the cap of Itaralinga in $pper !0na chakra, but rather than proceding to "akara point, she ismade to stay at Introspector point, which is below "akara point. &here shemight access $pper Sankhini nadi rather than proceeding upward, if so specialpowers, such as persuasion, which worldly leaders can utilie to control theirdomains or take over new realms, may result. &his is an esoteric, non1culminating rising that is not spiritual in its intent.'ull Rising (at ,a+ara)

Kundalini Shakti elevates through Susumna nadi, breaking through the cap of Itara linga at !0na, the 4row chakra, and reaching "akara point at the top of the4row chakra. (rom this entry point to the upper nadi regions that go throughSahasrara, the &housand /etaled 6otus, Kundalini Shakti determines which of the culminating $pper /rocess routes she will take for her ascent to 4indu, thepinnacle. #ith a (ull rising, which is active in the region after "akara and

which involves the strengthening, repairing, and deto'ifying of the entire subtle body +which includes the energy, mind, and discernment levels of the person.&he Sahasrara system, with its many brain centers correlated to the petals of thesi' chakras, is also refurbished, improving brain function and endorphinproduction. &his phase can take some time and may be physically andemotionally uncomfortable as the subconscious mind, with its karmic vasanas
