THE PROCESS OF KUNDALINI

Kundalini is the energy which delivers us to our higher potential. This process is gradual and graceful. There are checks and balances built into this system. Accordingly, we never gain access to more energy than we can accommodate and integrate at any given time in our development.

Beginners may experience mild phenomena such as light-headedness, or a slight trembling in some of the postures we do. These are part of an initial cleansing and balancing, as the mental and physical toxins of the past are neutralized.

Sometimes people mistake this initial clearing for the experience of Kundalini itself. The true experience of Spirit needs no interpretation. One awakens to the true implications of his/her existence and life becomes a smorgasbord of beautiful and powerful options.

So, the ultimate purpose of Kundalini Yoga is to attain and maintain higher consciousness. This is not something you go after once and then rest easy. It's an exercise that lasts a lifetime. Accordingly we place a lot of emphasis on the importance of Sadhana which means daily discipline.

In Kundalini Yoga we encourage students to tune in to their bodies and not do more than they're ready for. By the same token, we encourage people to do more than they thought they could. Thus the whole philosophic underpinning of this system can be expressed in 2 words: Keep Up

Chakras

These are focuses of energy which correspond to nerve plexi or glands. Each chakra has a specific quality or frequency which relates to aspects of our personality and predilections. Kundalini Yoga transforms us by insuring free flow of energy through the chakras. The ideal is to match any circumstance with the most appropriate and effective action. In one sense, Kundalini Yoga equates enlightenment with a consistent standard of excellence.

The Science of Sequence

In Kundalini Yoga we garner an effect greater than the sum of the parts. Any exercise or set which fulfills this requirement is called a kriya. The literal meaning of the word kriya is completed action.
Each set in Kundalini Yoga works on many levels simultaneously, and has been formulated with the recognition of the working relationship between the various energy systems that comprise us. Kundalini Yoga sees the body/mind as a holographic construct, meaning that each part contains the whole.

Mantra

In Kundalini Yoga we want to raise the frequency of the energy we garner, so that the self-healing process can be enhanced. We also seek to clear our minds of deep-seated stress, which lessens our effectiveness and ability to seek and find fulfillment in life. To accomplish these tasks we use what's called a mantra. Mantras are sounds or groupings of sounds with a pre-determined vibratory effect.

Mudras

The word mudra means position or attitude .and relates to hand or body poses held during exercises or meditations. It should be understood that these particular configurations are more than symbolic. They create specific circuits in the nervous system, increase blood flow to, and stimulate certain areas of the brain, and activate energy flows.
