Like a coiled snake, the Kundalini energy-the primal cosmic force within us-rests at the base of the spine. By gradually awakening this energy, we can attain the highest state-unity with the Absolute. With inspiring clarity, yoga expert Sukadev Bretz introduces the spiritual mysteries of Kundalini and shows how we can enrich our lives by awakening the divine primal energy within us. Explanations of the tantric tradition, purification and grounding rituals, the astral body, the nadis, and the chakras help us better understand the power of Kundalini and enable us to handle spiritual awakening experiences with care. In this way, Kundalini becomes an inner adventure that can help us discover hidden potentials and abilities within ourselves, expand our consciousness, and lead to our own self-realization.
