The Kundalini is untapped energy (prana) at the base of the spine that can be drawn up through the body awakening each of the seven chakras. Full enlightenment occurs when this energy reaches the Crown Chakra. Kundalini energy is often represented as a snake coiled at the base of the spine.  Began public classes in 1969 with Yogi Bahjan.

    • biofeedback graph one of muldahara energy, yang, affecting the ANS through skin conductance levels

    •   This is the beginning of the graph.  I posted it as part two because I wasn't sure if it would be in order in the photo album, lol.  Please see the info under the second photo for clarification, but in brief-- this is a graph showing how the energy of chakras CAN be graphed in biofeedback.  Of course it isn't a direct measurement but it shows how the autonomic nervous system can be boosted intensely.  Any energy work, chi qong, tai chi, specific kundalini processes will show some effect of the body/mind mechanism going through great changes.  Namaste

    • Biofeedback displaying how root chakra, yang, or muldahara energy effects Skin conductance levels, measure of the ANS

    •   This is a graph I performed with a really neat biofeedback program, which is fairly affordable called Wild Divine Grapher.  I got this reading in a seated and still position with no dramatic changes in breath, only a raising of energy.  The reading shown is Skin conductance level, which is a parameter of the Autonomic Nervous System responsible for fight and flight, related directly to the root chakra system.  Now, even though fight/flight is the mechanism described in psychology for survival mentality of our subconscious, there is alot more than meets the eye.  We can actually store or choose to feel this energy as a boost, or powerful euphoria to assist in breaking through the boundaries of difficult times.  Or we can bask in the intensity of our self trust and go beyond our fears.  The applications are infinite when you think about it.  This is the peak graph and the next photo will be where it started.  The wave was really two pages high.  Something to consider.  Mind over matter if you will.

  • Hello everyone.
    Some time ago I took a couple sessions of yoga in a pretty good yoga studio. As part of that I took a few classes of Kundalini Yoga.
    Since then I have been practicing at home using DVDs. I recently decided to incorporate Kundalini YOga into my home practice and bought the "Kundalini Yoga for Beginners and Beyond" by Ana Brett and Ravi Singh.
    I would be curious to know the opinion on this DVD of those of you who have practiced Kundalini for a while. And if you don;t think this is the best resource, what would you recommend as a better one for home practice.
    Thanks you in advance. Yozhik

  • People must be really busy or using other ways of communicating on JY. I understand how quicly things change as we meet the Fall Equinox September 22nd. I would like to see a little more activity in the Kundalini group given that since the universal prana (virtual energy) is strong for us (as it is known to travel at a rate faster than the speed of light). Kundalini awakening can take place very quickly if you keep up and I am writing to let you know that we are here for eachother for support and wish that everyone has found their means to keep up. I'd also like to hear about those who are doing the 1000 day meditation. I for one have not made that choice, however am doing the Sadarchan Chakra meditation and begin treacher training on Friday Sept. 25th. "Keep up and you'll be kept up"- Yogi Bhajan.

  • Sat Nam,
    What gives you the motivation to practice Sadhana (including meditation)EVERY morning?
    In addition to that, what gives you the motivation to practice in the evening (or simply meditate for a bit) if you practice twice a day?
    For me, it is the voice of my teachers in my head, looking at the "Yogi Bhajan Everyday" Calendar, The Buddha in my room or seeing the little YogiTea tags with powerful Y.B messages such as "Keep up and you'll be kept up".
    ....but sometimes those don't work when the mind says "sleeping in is soo much better! " Right now I'm suck with that.
    Any suggestions would be geatly appreciated.With Gratitude,YogiLise
