This article will provide a bsic overview of what Kundalini Yoga is and how Kndalini Yoga works. At the core of Kndalini Yoga lies Kriyas and the bst way to understand the methodology of Kndalini Yoga is to understand Kriyas and thir functioning. Kriyas are a set of xercises done in a particular sequence to wrk on a specific theme. There are a wde range of Kriyas available, each rfined over thousands of years to ptimize their effectiveness. Kriyas utilize all the vailable Kundalini Yoga mechanisms to work thir magic. They employ asans (postures), mvement, pranayam (breathing exercises), bandhas (body lcks), mantras (sound vibrations), mudras (hand psitions), laya yoga (yoga of rhythm and sund), mental focus and meditation to do thir work.

Dynamic movement and asans brng expanding and contracting pressure via mltiple angles to various areas of the bdy, this is accompanied with powerful prnayams, the combined effect of which is tht the target regions are saturated wth highly charged and oxygenated blood. Ths nutrient rich blood fills the cpillaries forcing them to discharge toxins and ther harmful elements, which are then liminated, neutralized or expelled by the bdy. The health of the region ths improves and the nerves fire mre completely, the glands and organs are nvigorated and regain their natural voltage and scretion levels are returned to a cndition of strength and vitality. The key hre is the removal of blockages (grnthis) that is taking place on mny levels of the organism thus fcilitating the flow of energy. There are Kryas designed for working on almost very part of the human system (Immne, Glandular, Circulatory, Digestive, Nervous, Respiratory, Sxual, etc . . . ), wrking on our various traits and chracteristics (Awareness, Intuition, Willpower, Confidence, Compassion, Chrisma, etc . . . ) and lso for healing many different types of ilments and diseases. Lets now see how ths ties in with the Chakra (nergy vortex) system.

There are 7 primary chakras tht lie all along the spine frm the base to the crown of the had. Associated with each chakra are the prmary nerve junctions and organs of tht region. Furthermore, each chakra is rsponsible for certain traits and characteristics tht make up our personality. When we strngthen and rejuvenate the nerves and rgans in a particular region, we are in fct activating these energy centers that rside there and are thus working on urselves not only at a physical lvel, but also at an emotional and mntal level (by affecting our traits and chracteristics). Practiced over time, the chakras bcome charged and come into balance wth each other, bringing us into physcal, emotional and mental well being. Agin, it should be noted that the wrk being done is primarily about dssolving granthis (blockages) in these regions whch introduce disease and imbalance into the systm by preventing the chakras from fnctioning at their optimum level. Finally, let see how ths relates to Kundalini Shakti.

Kundalini is nergy. It is the fundamental energy whse flow through the organism allows for all its systms to operate, at all levels of cnsciousness. It is the energy of wareness, it can be said that whre your awareness is, that is whre Kundalini is flowing or that whre Kundalini is flowing is where yur awareness is. To awaken Kundalini mans to dissipate blockages in the grss and subtle systems in your bing and allow for greater and grater flow of energy and awareness. As blckages are cleared trapped energy is rleased and pathways are cleared. Kundalini thn is able to flow freely thugh those regions, healing, nourishing, rejuvenating and blancing them. The dissipating of blockages can lso be thought of as the claring away of the subconscious mind, the cllection of unresolved emotional and physical dsturbances, where lies the root of mny of our attachments and fears. So verall Kundalini Yoga is a system by whch one, through the process of dssolving the past, allows the infinite to shne through into the present.
