Kundalini is derived from a Sanskrit word ‘ Kundala’, which means circular. In kundalini yoga, the dormant energy of the human body is symbolized as a coiled serpent. The energy stays dormant at the root of the energy center situated at the base of the spine. When the energy gets awakened, it moves towards the upward direction through the spinal cord to the Sahasara Chakra. It is a process to awaken consciousness by awakening the energy. Awakening the energy, the brain now starts to function efficiently, activating the dormant cells. This is known as the state of awakening of Kundalini. It is the highest state of consciousness.

There are two major energy pathways in the psychic body known as Ida and Pingala. Ida Nadi is connected to the moon energy, while Pingala the sun energy. To associate this with the physical body, Ida nadi can be compared with the parasympathetic nervous system, and Pingala nadi with the sympathetic nervous system. To function fully, there needed to be a balance between the two energies.

To make this happen, other major nadis need to be activated, called the sushumna nadi. It is more subtle than the nervous system, so it’s hard to see by diagnose, but it could be a part of the central nervous system of the body. These nadis are situated in our spinal cord but have a connection with the glandular system in the front part of the body. The goal of the Kundalini yoga teacher training is to pass the energy through this nadi, awakening the entire energy center. For this, the practitioner needs to prepare their body and mind by changing their lifestyle and doing the pranayama and meditation.

Kundalini Sadhana (Kundalini Practice)

Kundalini Yoga is the awakening of the dormant energy of the psychic body to achieve higher consciousness. In yoga, seven major energy centers are described to be situated in different parts of your body. The dormant energy is situated at the base of the spine, where the mooladhara (root) chakra is located, which is also known as the place of Shakti in Tantra yoga. When this kundalini energy is awakened, it gets uplifted and meets with higher consciousness at the eyebrow center, then the aspirant gets a peaceful mind. When this energy rises to the crown chakra, then the aspirant gets freedom from suffering.

The crown chakra, also known as the abode of Shiva, means universal consciousness. When lower energies are transformed into higher energies from the root chakra to the third eye, the state we call in yoga is the pure state of consciousness. At that state yogi is not influenced by any kind of thoughts and emotions, experiences, and knowledge. The yogi who stays in this state is always connected with the divine joy. The Kundalini Yoga practitioner gets numerous benefits of good health, happiness, prosperity, and peace. It brings lightness to the body and ultimate peace of mind. It purifies our mind and body, activates the life-energy, and brings inner joy. It’s your turn to get the experience.

All the dimensions of yoga practice will be used for Kundalini Sadhana. The following major tools will be used to awaken the energy during the kundalini yoga teacher training course. Whatever the practice you do, like meditation, breathing, chanting, relaxation, bandha, Mudra, detox, it will relate how it helps to awaken the kundalini energy.

1. Meditation

Meditation helps to tune your body, mind, and energy. When there is harmony between the mind and body, the energy starts to become positive. Through deeper and proper meditation of the chakra, the energy centers start to become activated. Each chakra has a mantra, elements, and a different property. You understand and realize them through the meditation process.

When mind is extroverted then energy start to moves outward. Through the sensory organs and motor organs, you are directing your energies outward. When you are in the meditation the energies start to direct inward. When all the energy starts to get awakened, slowly the energy starts to move towards the higher chakras. As the practitioner starts to succeed the stages of Kundalini meditation, the life starts to become positive and divine.

Chanting, breathing, and visualization are the preparation for meditation, which helps to activate energy channels. When a yogi tunes with the chakras, they achieve the state of meditation. Shiva is the state of pure consciousness, and Shakti is the energy. Through deeper meditation, the shakti starts to rise. When Shiva and Shakti meet each other, the yogi gets freedom. During this 200-hour Kundalini Yoga teacher training, you will learn the following meditation.

• Chakra meditation
• Kundalini meditation
• Ind and Pingala meditation
• So- Ham meditation

2. Breathing for chakra opening and Kundalini awakening

When your emotion gets imbalanced, your breathing also becomes unnatural. It disturbs the energy system. Thus, it blocks our energy from flowing freely. By the rhythmic practice of breathing, the blockage starts to be removed, and the mind starts to become pure and free. In Kundalini practice, more influence is given to the purification and activation of the chakra through the breathing meditation.

There are three types of breathing practice: inhalation, exhalation, and retention. Breathing can be both voluntary and involuntary. The same occurs in retention. The practice of retention helps to regulate the energy in the body. When your right nostril is more active, the pingala nadi seems to be active. When the left nostril is active, the ida nadi is more active. But when the breath is moving equally from both nostrils, susumna is active. This is the state where the Kundalini starts to awaken. There are many different ways to activate the breathing process. The main breathing techniques that will be taught during the Kundalini yoga teacher training in Nepal are:

• Omkar pranayama
• Skanda pranayama
• Vakshya pranayama
• Abdominal pranayama
• Chest extended pranayama
• Dirga pranayama: To make long and deep breaths
• Nadi Sodhana's ‘Alternate Nostril Breathing to clean Ida and Pingala.
• Shitali pranayama ‘Cooling Breath’
• Ujjayi pranayama ‘Ocean Breath’
• Bhramari Pranayama ‘Humming Bee Breath’
• Bhastrika pranayama ‘Bellows Breath’
• Anulom Viloma pranayama ‘Against The Wave’
• Kapalbhati pranayama
• Surya Vedi pranayama
• Chandra vedi pranayama
• Murch pranayama
• Kaki pranayama
• All three-lock systems
• Sheetali pranayama
• Sheatkari pranayama

3. Yoga philosophy and lifestyle

Yoga is not just the practice of body posture and breathing. To succeed in yoga, you need to be disciplined in your life. Yoga is more of a lifestyle. Unless you understand the philosophy of yoga and lifestyle, all you do is just become a physical and mental exercise. You miss the goal of yoga. So, this kundalini yoga teacher training includes the philosophy behind the yoga.

Patanjali's yoga sutra first verse explains the importance of discipline for a yoga practitioner. The yamas and niyamas described in the ashtanga yoga are the basis for success for a practitioner. You learn all the aspects of yoga and lifestyle in both a theoretical and a practical way. This philosophy will be based on how you can do the best management of the mind to align and awaken the energy.

4. Yoga poses for chakras and stiffness

The more flexible your body is, the more energy flows freely in your body. The more you achieve stability in your body, your mind also becomes stable. Asana helps to remove the stiffness and increase the sensitivity towards the body. It increases your awareness, which helps to stay meditative even when performing daily activities.

Yoga poses are not just developed to make your body flexible and strong. According to Hatha yoga, yoga posture is designed to create influence on your energy body. Different posture affects different chakras. Chakras are associated with major glands in your body. For example, the root chakra is associated with the reproductive glands and the lower cortex of the Adrenal gland.

If you do posture based on the root chakra, the specific chakra and gland start to function well. In Kundalini yoga teacher training, the focus is given to such posture that has an influence on the glands, hence bringing the effect on the whole body system. Combining asana that has a greater influence on the chakras with meditation helps to activate chakras and progress in the spiritual journey.

5. Relaxation and shavasana

To be able to relax is also like an art. If you can relax properly, it creates more fresh energy and makes your mind calm. The yogis have developed relaxation techniques that help to reach a deeper state of relaxation. It removes stress and brings peace. It removes tiredness and rejuvenates your body.

The yogic relaxation techniques like deep relaxation, yoga Nidra, help not just to get relaxed but also to awaken your intuitive mind. It rejuvenates your energy. Postures like shavasana (corpse posture) help to release the stress from the mind and body. The relaxing postures tune you for deeper relaxation, which helps to awaken the energy. Energy is directly proportional to relaxation of the mind. The more you relax, the energy starts to rise; the more stress you face, the energy starts to flow down towards the root chakra, which they call the Kundalini.

6. Mantra chanting for chakra and Kundalini

Mantra chanting is the next vital part of kundalini yoga teacher training. Each chakra carries a certain energy vibration. The Sanskrit bija mantras are the seed sounds that help to generate positive energy in the chakra. Each chakra has a different energy vibration, so a different bija mantra. The repeated chanting of the mantra vibrates the chakra and resonates with the energy body.

Mantra chanting also helps to calm down your mind. It helps to direct your mind inward. When chanted repeatedly, certain mantras engage your mind and feelings of gratitude, and it has a greater effect on your emotional and mental body. It activates our subconscious mind. The negativity in the mind is purified. The positive emotion arises. Life is filled with positive and divine energy.

7. Banda and Mudra for energy awakening

Bandha means the lock. It is generally practiced during the pranayama to regulate the pranas. There are psychic knots in your body that stay as a barrier in the spiritual journey. These are known as granthis that block the energy. Without opening the granthis, it is not possible to progress in meditation. By the practice of the banda, these granthis can be opened, allowing the free flow of energy through the sushumna nadi.

There are three major granthis –brahmaa granthi, bishnu granthi, and rudra granthi. The Bandha practice, like moola bandh, helps to open brahma granthi, uddiyana bandha helps to open the vishnu granthi, and jalandhar bandha the rudra granthi. Blockage remains because of karmas and emotional suppressions. Once these blockages are removed, the energies start to flow from the susumna nadi. So, the bandas are a very important part of kundalini yoga teacher training.

Mudra means gesture. It is a hand position or combination of asana, pranayama, breathing, and visualization used to enhance your spiritual practice. It is also known as the seal. Normally, your energy dissipates from the body to the outer world through your sensory and motor organs. For example, when you see something, your energy is also involved through your eyes. But when you close your eyes with the anmukhi mudra during meditation, the energy remains inward. It is a very subtle practice that helps to seal energy and direct it toward awakening your spiritual consciousness.

8. Detox to unblock the energy channel

Yogic text describes around 72000 nadis in your psychic body. Due to lifestyles and your desires, there remains an impurity in your nadi, which blocks the energies from flowing naturally. It is just like the excess fat in your blood vessels, which interrupts the proper blood flow in your body. Yogic detox helps to purify your mind and body.

To arouse the kundalini shakti body should be capable mentally and physically. For example, if there is a lot of equipment in a room, there will be no space to do yoga practice or to move freely. Yoga, of course, is practiced in a clean and empty room. In the same way, if there are impurities and blockages in your body, you would not be ready for the practice of kundalini yoga teacher training.

Yogic detox, like shat-karma, helps to remove the mental and physical impurities. Nadisodhana pranayama helps to purify our Ida and Pingala nadis and opens the Sushumna nadi. Nadi means the energy pathways. Sodhana means purification. Hence, this nadi sodhana pranayama helps to purify your nadis and prepare you for the spiritual practice.

9. Overall practice of the Kundalini awakening

Diet, lifestyle, and practice need tobe takene together for success in Kundalini yoga. Not just the physical body, but also you need to purify your thinking level, emotional level, and intellectual level. Here, you prepare all aspects necessary for the kundalini practice. They provide sattvik and natural food as recommended by the yogic text.

The chanting of mantras will help to strengthen your emotional body. Asanas and detoxification prepare your physical body for the Kundalini awakening. Through the meditation of breathing and chakras, kriyas, the consciousness starts to transform and awaken.

The relation of Kundalini energy and the chakra system

Chakra means the energy centers. The purpose of Kundalini yoga is to awaken the energy centers and transform one to a higher consciousness. The energy centers receive and regulate the energy to function the whole-body system. There are seven major 7 energy centers in the human body situated along the spinal cord. Each chakra has a different relationship to the physical and mental aspects. Due to an unnatural lifestyle, it can generate a blockage in the energy system. This later appears as a disease and illness.

So it is very important to keep your energy channels pure during the practice of spirituality. Among the seven energy centers, the lower centers are connected more with the sensual and reproductive parts of the body. The upper chakras are connected with the higher dimensions of consciousness, like love, compassion, consciousness, etc. Just like reaching the top of the mountain, you first need to reach its base camp. To reach the state of higher consciousness, first you need to activate your lower energy channels.
