Kundalini - the fundamental energy
Kundalini is the energy that exists in a latent state in man at the base of the spinal column. When this force is “awakened”, it springs upwards (or downwards if the person is practising the headstand position ''Shirshasana''). It moves along the central axis of the body (the spinal column) towards the crown or lotus on the top of the head (Sahasrara chakra). Yoga tradition mentions the existence of 7 energetic centres (chakras), whose levels comprise the steps or phases of the process of creation. When rising from one level to another, Kundalini is given different names, according to the chakra where it settles. For instance, in the heart chakra (Anahata), Kundalini is called Hamsa and in the chakra in the middle of the forehead (Ajna) it is called Bindu. Sometimes Kundalini can ascend so much that it goes beyond the top of the head. Here it creates a mystical state of consciousness of indescribable ecstasy with duality no longer existing.
