Kundalini

Kundalini (Sanskrit: कुण्डलिनी, romanized: kuṇḍalinī, Hebrew: קונדליני) is a concept originating from Hindu philosophy, particularly within the context of yoga, tantra, and kundalini yoga. It refers to a spiritual energy or life force located at the base of the spine, depicted as a coiled serpent. The term "Kundalini" is derived from the Sanskrit word "kundala," meaning "coiled" or "circular." When activated, often through specific yogic practices, this energy is believed to ascend through the chakras, leading to heightened states of awareness, spiritual awakening, and ultimately, enlightenment. In other languages, Kundalini is known as "Kundalini" in Spanish, "Kundalini" in French, and "Kundalini" in German. The awakening of Kundalini is considered a profound and transformative experience, often accompanied by various physical, emotional, and psychological effects. It is essential to approach Kundalini practices with guidance from experienced teachers to ensure safety and proper understanding.

Form of divine energy in Hindu mysticism
Kundalini
In Hinduism, Kundalini is a form of divine feminine energy believed to be located at the base of the spine, in the Muladhara. It is an important concept in Śhaiva Tantra, where it is believed to be a force or power associated with the divine feminine or the formless aspect of the Goddess. This energy in the subtle body, when cultivated and awakened through tantric practice, is believed to lead to spiritual liberation. Kuṇḍalinī is associated with the goddess Parvati or Adi Parashakti, the supreme being in Shaktism, and with the goddesses Bhairavi and Kubjika. The term, along with practices associated with it, was adopted into Hatha Yoga in the 9th century. It has since then been adopted into other forms of Hinduism as well as modern spirituality and New Age thought.
