Awake Kundalini

Stretching back into the corridors of time, Asian religions have spoken of a mystical force called the 'Kundalini', which literally means 'coiling' i.e. a huge reservoir of energy like a snake; since Energy and consciousness-moves in spiraling motion - coils loops like the snake. This book helps you realize the enormous reserve of your true potential. It is a gentle guide to Chakra Activation and Spiritual growth in lucid language to help roll back aging and remove negativity internally and externally.

The ancient Indian yogic discipline recognises that man is but an inseparable constituent of, and identical with, the larger and higher Self which is Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient. Only the realisation of this identity is lacking in the ordinary human being. The yogis discovered that a limitless energy lay dormant in every human being, ready to be awakened. This dormant energy they labelled as Kundalini and likened it to a serpent lying coiled at the base of the spine, with its head turned downwards. The whole yogic discipline consists of the awakening of this Kundalini through regular practice of yoga, and directing it upwards. In due course, the Kundalini moves up the spinal cord wherein potent yet subtle energy centres, called the Chakras, lie in an inactive state. Each Chakra or energy centre has specific characteristics and its activation confers specific powers on the yogi. As the successive Chakras get activated, they confer on the practitioner of yoga immense mental and spiritual energy so that eventually nothing remains impossible for him to achieve. This book is about the subtle energy of the life force, the pure consciousness beyond mind and the ecstatic experience of spiritual awakening. It also tells of physical collapse, psychic chaos, and personality upheaval, those elements of human transformation that uproot individuals to the core. It tells the stories of people, both ancient and modern, who have discovered and integrated an experience that pushes the edges of their sanity and their divinity. This book is meant to introduce the reader to the ancient yogic tradition of Kundalini. You are not required to be in perfect physical shape or share any particular belief system. Kundalini Yoga works for you if you can breathe and move your body. In this type of yoga, the most important thing is experience. Your experience goes right to your heart, your core. These ancient teachings are designed to give you a hands-on approach to experiencing your deepest emotions and highest consciousness. By approaching Kundalini Yoga with openness and respect, and by following the steps included in this book, you can change and enrich your life. This book gives you ample knowledge and guidance regarding the activation of dormant energy; but we like to warn the readers that without controlling your senses, practising proper yogic asanas, to activate kundalini is a dangerous act. Apart from the Knowledge you are going to acquire from this book, the proper guidance of a competent teacher is always recommended.
