In yoga and tantra, kundalini is described as a dormant energy coiled at the base of the spine. Practices such as breathwork, mantra, and meditation are said to awaken it so it rises through the chakras. Traditional teachers advise approaching these practices gradually and with an experienced guide.
Why It Matters
Kundalini is often named in stories of sudden spiritual change. Knowing the term helps seekers make sense of intense experiences and ask for grounded support.
