Isn't It Time To Try Kundalini Yoga?
from: Anika MoluguAlthough there are many types of yoga, and it may be impractical
to try them all, experiencing some of the main branches --
including Kundalini yoga -- will give you a fuller grasp of
yoga's essence and benefits. Kundalini yoga isn't just another
practice, however. It's often referred to as the mother of all
yoga, and said to be one of the most powerful forms.
What's more, Kundalini yoga is a little different from other
practices. Most forms of yoga concentrate on the body's poses,
combined with breathing and meditation exercises. While
Kundalini yoga still concerns itself with forms and poses, it
places much more emphasis on breathing, chanting, and releasing
a special energy we all possess unawares.
In Kundalini yoga, the special energy is likened to a powerful
serpent lying asleep at the base of the spine. But practitioners
can awaken the powerful serpent with the use of Kundalini
techniques, releasing almost unimaginable energy.
How It's Done
In Kundalini yoga, you'll combine classic poses, meditation,
chanting or mantras, and also coordinate your breath and
movement. In this yoga, the serpent that represents energy is
said to lie asleep at the base of your spine, coiled and
dormant. Specifically, this region is located in the perineum
area of the body. That is, it lies between the rectum and the
testicles in males, and between the vagina and the clitoris in
females. When awakened, the dormant masculine energy (Siva) and
feminine energy (Sakti) unite to create a powerful surge unlike
anything you're likely to have experienced before.
What Can It Do For Me?
The powerful energy released by Kundalini yoga is said to do
many things for the body. And yet, although it can help you
physically, its primary benefits are spiritual. All the
intangible energies that help to shape our lives are affected by
Kundalini yoga, such as divine prosperity, and freedom from
judgment. Once freed, this new energy helps to promote
creativity and unconditional love. Needless to say, all these
positive changes help sweep away any negative feelings, such as
those associated with depression, or even long-standing
resentments or jealousy.
If you would like to experience this type of amazing yoga,
you'll want professional guidance. Understanding more about how
Kundalini works will help you achieve the results you seek, so a
little private time with the books can help you as well. As with
any yoga, it's best to learn Kundalini from an experienced
instructor, who can help you focus your energy in addition to
teaching you the techniques. Having an awakened yogi nearby can
be half the battle.
