Kundalini
Most forms of Yoga maintain that there is a metaphysical relationship between
man and nature. This holds true of Kundalini Yoga. In this case the serpent
is the focus of a regime that can join your mind and your body. Often billed
as the ‘mother of all yoga’ Kundalini Yoga was brought to the west in 1969 by
Yogi Bhajan. Bhajan perfected this form of Yoga at the young age of 16 and ½.
He then began a career in the military.
Before long, news of his unique form of Yoga surfaced in Canada and he was
invited to share his teaching at the University of Toronto. The university was
interested in Mr. Bhajan’s claim that Kundalini Yoga can produce results 16
times faster than other forms of Yoga. Soon word of the amazing power of his
yoga reached the United States. Within a decade people all over the world practiced
Kundalini Yoga.
Claiming to derive its power from the massive reserve of untapped potential
energy within us all, it is an analog for the coiled snake. Naturally your spine
is the place where most of this potential energy is stored. Much like a snake
which, when you think of it, is like one big spine.
Unlike the serpent, anyone hoping to gain power from this potential is not
instructed to strike rapidly; instead a slow awakening is employed to elevate
a new state of consciousness. This eventually leads to physical well being and
an expansion of awareness. After practicing Kundalini Yoga you will feel more
relaxed and at ease with yourself.
