Energy of Kundalini

Written by Mathew Naismith

I should firstly point out I'm not that well conversed with the aspects of Kundalini energy, most of what I do know about this energy is through my own experiences, only some of what I know comes from my own research.

I look at Kundalini energy as the spirit within all things, however, I have found out recently that many people disagree with this view, to them this energy can only be of a human nature and experience, there is no way a tree for instance can experience a kundalini energy flows or be of Kundalini energy period. I do understand where these people are coming from though.

There is a lot of reference to the coiling of energy within the lower spinal area of humans, this gives the perception that this energy is only of human nature, this reference however doesn't mean Kundalini energy is only of human nature. Explaining it like this is only giving reverence for humans to refer to, otherwise a lot of people won't be able to comprehend the existence of this energy flow within themselves.

Extract: ``Kundalini'' literally means coiling, like a snake. In the classical literature of hatha yoga kundalini is described as a coiled serpent at the base of the spine. The image of coiling, like a spring, conveys the sense of untapped potential energy. Perhaps more meaningfully kundalini can be described as a great reservoir of creative energy at the base of the spine. It's not useful to sit with our consciousness fixed in our head and think of kundalini as a foreign force running up and down our spine. Unfortunately the serpent image may serve to accentuate this alien nature of the image. It's more useful to think of kundalini energy as the very foundation of our consciousness so that when kundalini moves through our bodies our consciousness necessarily changes with it. 

It would seem to me Kundalini energy is in reference to consciousness period, it refers to an energy flow that exists within all life forces, not just of one kind of life force. The coiling of the snake refers to untapped potential energy, however, for a tree, this energy isn't untapped so to some people kundalini energy doesn't refer to a tree for instance because a trees energy potential isn't untapped like humans.

What I understand is, Kundalini energy isn't just in reference to untapped potential energy, it's in reference to an energy that resides in all living things. Now with this statement we could perceive that Kundalini energy only exists in physical living forces but again this isn't so.     

Kundalini has also been made in reference to chi which is also known as Ki, Qi or Prana. Chi refers to a life force universal energy, if there was no comparison, why make reverence to chi and Kundalini energy being of the same or simular energy flow?        

Also, if an energy flow is untapped, this is obviously making reference to a consciousness that hasn't tapped into an energy flow or to a source of consciousness unconscious to a conscious energy source. Making reference to something being untapped is all to do with a consciousness of some kind for only an unconscious or an unaware consciousness can experience an untapped source of energy.

Consciousness itself is actually referring to a universal life force, it's not just referring to a physical life force experiencing physicality as Kundalini energy isn't just of  human nature.

We also often refer to a Kundalini energy as just an experience when Kundalini energy isn't actually referring to an experience but an energy flow that can be experienced. It's important not to just look at Kundalini energy as just an experience, it's far far more than this.

Can Kundalini energy exist without a form of consciousness?

Kundalini energy isn't actually a conscious source, therefore, Kundalini energy can exist without consciousness but I feel consciousness can't exist without Kundalini energy flows, this is why I refer to Kundalini energy as the spirit within all things.

You can also here make reference to the spirit of God's consciousness being of Kundalini energy. Now this seems like we are again making reference to Kundalini energy being of a consciousness, in this case God's consciousness, this isn't so.

The only way God's consciousness, or any consciousness, can be expressed is through the spirit of God, this means for any consciousness to be expressed, either physically or not, this consciousness needs a source of energy to do so, in this case it's what is called Kundalini energy.       

The interesting thing here is, until God's consciousness is expressed, this represents  untapped potential energy, interesting isn't it!!  This of course is making reference to this energy not just being of human nature, it's of the nature of everything.

If our chakras are not aligned or in tune, we will not be able to tap into this energy, the spirit of all things (Kundalini), we will be hindered by what ever chakra we have not aligned to. This actually means we will not be able to tap into the rest of God's consciousness, it will stay untapped for us.

This however is very easily overcome by recondition our minds to perceive from Kundalini energy to the mind, not from the mind to the Kundalini, this means allowing your mind to perceive through Kundalini energy flows. Firstly, don't try to condition your mind to accept this kind of energy, it will probably literally blow your mind, allow your Kundalini energy to freely flow. Now for this to occur we need to let go of control as the mind is conditioned to control, once you condition your mind to refrain from taking control, all your chakras will open up. What actually blocks our chakras? Control, what happens when we meditate, how much of the physical environment are we in control of while meditating? Zilch.........Just learn to let go and all will reveal itself.
