Kundalini Yoga
What does kundalini have to do with spiritual
enlightenment?
|
First we need a
few concepts:
In yogic anatomy the sushumna is the central channel and conduit
for the kundalini energy that runs along our spine and up to the
crown of our head. Along this channel are placed additional channel
networks called chakras.
These chakras are associated with major aspects of our anatomy -
for example our throat, heart, solar plexus, and in turn these aspects
of our anatomy are related to aspects of our human nature. According
to the literature of kundalini yoga our experience of these centers
is limited due to knots which restrict the flow of energy into these
centers.
Three knots are particuarly important.
The knot of Brahma which restricts the center at the base of the
spine. The knot of Vishnu which restricts the heart center and the
knot of Rudra which restricts the center between the eyebrows.
These knots form an important framework in yogic thinking and the
stages toward enlightenment are articulated in terms of breaking
through these knots in the yogic classic the Hatha Yoga Pradipika
as well as in some of the yoga upanishads. Specifically, four stages
of progress are described:
Arambha,
Ghata,
Parichaya and
Nishpatti.
Arambha is associated with breaking the knot of Brahma and the awakening
of kundalini. Ghata is associated with breaking the knot of Vishnu
and and with internal absorption. Parichaya the absorption deepens
and in nishpatti the knot of Rudra is pierced and the kundalini
may ascend to the center at the crown of the head. In this state
transcendence is integrated and, according to the yogic liteature,
the yogi has nothing more to attain.
Putting these elaborate physiological decriptions aside, the goal
of kundalini yoga is the same as the goal of any legimitate spiritual
practice: To be liberated from the limited bounds of the self-centered
and alienated ego. In kundalini yoga this is associated with internal
manifestations of the kundalini but the external manifestations
should be similar to any other legitiimate spiritual practice.

Hi
Aymen
I must tell you, I read your book, and I've read many a metaphysical
book, but your knowledge as expressed by you, made me feel your
data is valuable information (MAYBE
THE VERY BEST)... You have a
way of clarifying that which you're teaching, making what is extremely
difficult (spiritual awareness) understandable, clear to me the
student...
Sincerely,
Darren

I didn't believe it at first.
I was pretty stubborn and thought I knew how to handle my life but
the part about getting rid of sexual thoughts intrigued me so I
went ahead - It's the best thing I've ever done.

Just a quick note to say hello
and thanks. I discovered I actually spent so much time fantasizing
about sex, what a waste of energy. Now I focus on my wife and my
business. The result is amazing.
