The Power Of Kundalini Yoga

Kundalini is known as the Energy Yoga which empowers us to release any stagnant energy sitting at the base of our spine, which is connected to the chakra system. When we are feeling anger or fear, Kundalini Yoga can release this tension with quick movements. The intention is to let go.

Typically, more sedate forms of the Yoga discipline is promoted in modern day practice, which tend to focus on deep breathing, flexibility and stretching of the muscles and joints. Kundalini is the polar opposite of this approach. It combines meditation with cardiovascular and muscle strength building exercises.

There is a major caution with this kind of Yoga, since it is best to avoid it if you have any serious back, brain, neck or shoulder conditions. Also, do not do Kundalini if your pregnant, unless the session is specifically geared towards this under the guidance of a reputable teacher. Always consult with a doctor if your unsure and be aware of what your body can do and can’t do in the present moment.

To find resources, local metaphysical stores often carry books and DVDs to get you started. Your local library usually has great resources for free, or shop via the internet. There are also Kundalini classes or videos available on YouTube, which you can do in the comfort of your home.

Your body structure is not based on what vitamin you eat, what vegetable you eat, what protein you take in. Your pranic body and your auric body must coincide to keep you young and alive. That’s where youth is. If you take half an hour to forty-five minutes to do a good set of Kundalini Yoga, that will keep you going ~ Yogi Bhajan

For those who are new to this kind of Yoga, it is important to take your time and don’t give up! It can be challenging at first, but it will be worth the effort. It is a transformational activity that offers clarity and a spiritual breakthrough which removes fear. I have been at a crossroads many times, frustrated with my life and the world. Kundalini helped me out of those blockages, both internally and externally.

If this yoga is overwhelming at first, begin with a slower moving routine like Sun salutations to get your body flowing and then transition step by step to more advanced movements. Results won’t happen overnight, so start where you feel comfortable.
