Kundalini is a Sanskrit term that refers to the dormant spiritual energy believed to be coiled at the base of the spine. In yoga and tantra traditions, Kundalini is seen as a potential force that, when awakened, rises through the energy centers or chakras along the spine, leading to spiritual enlightenment. The awakening of Kundalini is said to result in a profound transformation of consciousness, unlocking higher states of awareness, creativity, and spiritual insight. The practice of Kundalini yoga aims to awaken and channel this powerful energy through various techniques such as asana, pranayama, mantra, and meditation.
