Kundalini is the primordial force of awakening. It is the energy of the life force, the source of inner strength, power. Its symbol is a snake (or two curled snakes – Caduceus, known mainly as the symbol of medicine), testifying to the possibility of creative or destructive action. The energy itself is described as divine feminine energy. In Hindu philosophy it is the creative power and energy of the universe.
How to extract Kundalini energy
We all have this energy, but not everyone experiences its awakening. It is believed that this energy is dormant at the base of the spine. Many people crave her awakening, often without realizing how painful the process can be.
The most popular way of awakening is to practice yoga: Kundalini, Hatha, tantra, through practices such as asanas, pranayamas, singing, meditations. Kundalini energy can also awaken naturally in the unconscious. Upon awakening, the Kundalini energy climbs upwards along the spine through the nadi channels, activating the chakras one by one.
What is the purpose of Kundalini energy
The goal of Kundalini energy is to attain enlightenment. It is a long process, taking years, decades. Many people commit suicide or end up in psychiatric hospitals during the process. Many of the saints, the messiahs, were awakened by the kundalini energy. This energy is a blessing and a great danger to man.
Still few people know about the existence of this energy, do not understand it, do not believe in it. Hindus have the most knowledge, the most practice related to the kundalini Shakti energy.
Some concepts are shared with Buddhism.
The purpose of Kundalini practice is to elevate it as the feminine Shakti energy to the head where the masculine Shiva energy resides. The combination of masculine and feminine energies brings into a state of divinity – ecstasy and unification.
What is Kundalini energy characterized by
Kundalini is the divine energy, the life force, the inner fire. Defining it as fire is connected with feeling it as a fire flowing through the body, which paralyzes, electrifies, abuses. The flowing energy is compared to a snake writhing inside the body. The result of the flow of this energy is the expansion of the state of consciousness, the achievement of high knowledge, the connection with the universe. It is a state of deep spirituality, acceptance, understanding.
Pain, suffering during the activation of Kundalini energy is associated with the transformation of the carbon body of man into a silicon body – capable of conducting much more energy.

The process of awakening
Many people mistakenly attribute the awakening of this energy to themselves. Truly awakening Kundalini energy can arouse fear, great anxiety, physical pain, and reactions that are difficult to define. Changes occur at the physical, emotional, sensual and mental levels. Such people sometimes become unable to work and require the support of others. Such people can be unable to consume fluids and food for up to months. At this time, everything that was hidden comes to light and a person becomes naked. The cleansing process covers all aspects. During this time, many loved ones turn away from the awakening person, do not understand the miracles associated with the transformation, and attribute to him/her the characteristics of a mentally (and physically) ill person. However, ultimately the awakened person becomes free from disease, receives gifts in the form of new talents and a deep understanding of the universe.
