Kundalini
QUESTION: Masters what really is the elevation of the kundalini? Sometimes when I’m meditating I feel pleasure, and my root chakra opens up like a flower, is such a bliss. What is the symbol of the serpent in this act? The elevation and the fall of the energy? How can we use this energy for better living? ~Madalena, Brazil
ANSWER: Kundalini is the term used to discuss the essential energy of the soul when it is released within the physical human body. Many people who do not understand their status as souls having a human experience are totally unaware of the possibilities of sensing and using their potential soul essence to understand, enjoy, and connect on a physical basis with their nonphysical self.
Since the acknowledgment of the Kundalini involves a merging of the nonphysical with the physical, generally you must use the Earth energy, entering through the root chakra, to give it a physical force within the body. That is why it is said to “arise” from the root and wend its way up through the rest of the body. The Indian philosophy speaks of this as the opening of a lotus flower and the energy climbing up – like the uncoiling of a snake – through the body’s central pranic tube and into the rest of the physical sphere.
This influx of extremely strong energy will impact all the body’s systems, creating sensations of everything from pain, through bliss, into massive stimulation of a person’s feelings and emotions. The basic benefit of this charge is the ability to connect on an intimate basis with all your bodily functions.
The energy allows one to reach outside the bodily shell and connect with the unconscious aspects of oneself and the universe. If the person is not conflicted with residual negativity from their life lessons, they will be dealing with unconditional love and the ego will disappear. In this state, it is possible to remember the powers and abilities that are a part of Source energy, from which all souls derived.
This then allows the soul to emerge and the human body to be all-powerful, all-knowing, all-creative, and all-loving. If the human side starts to emerge again, powered by an ego judgment, the kundalini energy will be in conflict with it, resulting in confusion, discord, and depression.
