The awakening of Kundalini involves vigorous training in terms of yogic asanas, pranayama, kriya yoga and meditation. It is actual forcing of ‘prana’ (vital force) in to the sears of Kundalini that enables the energy to move upwards through CHAKRAS, centers situated in the central nervous canal to the brain. This awakening is akin to stimulating the silent areas of the brain. The awakening of Kundalini takes the human being into a different level of consciousness and this transforms the whole perception. On physical level too there will be changes. There will be a change in voice, along with a change in body odor and hormone flow.

The Kundalini is embodied where concepts of time and space are non-existent. This power is believed to arrive from the unconscious plane and it moves up through different phases until it unites with the supreme consciousness; it unites with the supreme consciousness. The passage of this energy is through channels called Chakras.

 The vital energy in the body is organized around specific centers which are not a part of the physical body but belong to the casual body. But they do correspond to the various plexus of in the human body. These specific centers are Chakras.

These charkas have particular rates of vibration. The unconscious state lies in the Root or Muladhana Chakra, while the supreme consciousness is in the crown (or Shastara Chakra) which is in the crown of the head.

The active energy is distributed through the Chakras as well as intricate network comprises of Nadis, which are channels that help flow of consciousness. It is said that there are 72,000 Nadis distributed all over the body.

  ‘Ida’ Pingala and Sushumna are the ‘nadis’ vital for the flow of Prans. Ida which flows in the left and Pingala which is on the right and Sushumna which is in the middle starts from root Chakra and ends in crown, joining in charkas, on the way. Chakras, which are located in the spiral column, distribute impulses. The energy focused in the Chakras determines the personality and level of consciousness of the individual.

Sickness is always a physical expression of spiritual discord, which can also be dealt with on a subtler plane.

The charkas are corrected between energy body and physical body and also connected with Kundalini. The energy quality of the Chakra is purely a subtle vibration and is the source of life energy.
