Question

What is Kundalini meditation?

Answer 1

After the existence of Kundalini was discovered, efforts were

made to awaken it. Modifications were made in the fields of Mantra,

Tantra, Hathayog, Jnanyoga, Bhaktiyoga and Mantrayoga. Research

and deep study in various fields and numerous practitioners pointed

at the eternal truth that the source of life or soul resides in all living

beings and its various attributes grow from birth to death. The soul

makes progress from one incarnation to the other. Even without any

Worship (Pooja) or chanting of hymns or meditation on chosen gods, a

person can attain Moksha eternal bliss or deliverance after one

million years. After this period the individual soul (Atma) merges into

the universal (Paramatma). However, if the human chooses the path

of worship (Pooja) & chanting of hymns or meditations, he can attain

Moksha in a span of three lives. We all wish a still speedier path to

deliver us, -within one life, this present incarnation itself. This is a

common desire. However, we need not despair. Lord Krishna in the

song celestial 'Gita' has assured that these who practice yoga with the

intent of seeking deliverance, if they are not able to reach their

desired goal in this life, He will give them rebirth (next incarnation) in

such families, where they can complete their course.

Kundalini translates into the seat of fire.  It is at the base of the spine.  If you ever go to a rock concert, the guys on stage that are really hyper, and goes on like that throughout the whole show are running kundalini.  Jimi Hendrix was a prime example.  The problem with kundalini is that if you run it too long, it can burn you out, it can also give you a heart attack.  You have to learn how to use it, and how to shut it off when you need to.
