Can Kundalini Yoga be for 'all'? Isn't it a secret practise? Isn't it to be feared because of its explosive nature? Shouldn't it be practised only under the expert guidance of a Guru? Won't it affect anyone adversely if practised in a wrong way?
If you have all these trepidations, then this book holds all the answers for you.
In fact, all your fears can be allayed by just one sentence: Kundalini Yoga is for all because Kundalini Shakti resides in all.
Kundalini, the primordial energy, is present in everyone. In most people, it is sleeping; in some, it is partially awakened. Scriptures say your past lives karma, your prarabdha karma, determine how awakened will be the state of Kundalini Shakti in you.
Kundalini Yoga deals with the primordial energy present in all but many either do not know it or are simply too lazy to explore. For those willing to dive into the depths of their inner being to awaken this sleeping Shakti, this book will prove to be an exciting exploration into yourself that will unravel your highest potential.
Know for sure that you are taking up a challenge because you will be discovering the fundamentals of creation itself, of which you are a part. It is about experiencing energy and consciousness which powers every aspect t of this universe. Yes, experience is the key word. No intellectual arm-chair faffing around here. Kundalini is about the play of the energy and consciousness that exists within us.
Simply put, it is understanding what powers understanding itself.
Locked within the everyday process of cognition and action is the secret of all that powers our evolution as a human race. Any form of yoga is finally a journey into oneself, into unlocking one's own secret hidden behind a veil of innocence and ignorance.
The book is divided into two major sections: the theory of Kundalini and the practise of it. You may either first digest the theory and then launch into the practise or read the theory and do the practise simultaneously. The choice is yours. But if either part of this book is neglected, you will not succeed at awakening your inner Kundalini. Theory will not succeed at awakening your inner Kundalini because mere theory without practise will remain an intellectual exercise and practise without understanding the theory will not fructify into an awakened Kundalini.
My Experiences
I started practising Kundalini Yoga with profound experiences twelve years ago. First came the almost magical disappearance of some chronic niggling health problems which I had previously thought were hereditary. How could something that I have suffered for decades disappear within a fortnight of practising yoga? I did not know then that these almost magical, therapeutic results were the first level of siddhi (powers that you experience in yoga). It was much later that I discovered that using any form of yoga for therapeutic benefits is like using an elephant to kill an ant.
