Kundalini
From Sahaja Yoga Encyclopedia
Kundalini is the evolutionary, feminine energy of the divine Mother or the essence of evolution, which nourishes, balances and purifies. She exists in a latent form in every human being, residing in the sacrum bone in three and a half coils. When awakened properly, the Kundalini travels upwards through the central channel, subtly and painlessly cleansing and integrating all the chakras, emerging at the apex of the skull and manifesting as a blissful breeze-like sensation on the head and hands. It is at this point that Self-Realization takes place. This state is maintained through daily meditation. (Kundala means “coil.”)
