Kundalini and Spirituality

Kundalini:
The Secret Doorway

Imagine that a door opensa door that you didnt even know existed. A light beams from the other side, and you gasp. Whats this light? Where does it come from? What are you supposed to do with it?

You arent quite sure, but you sense immediate changes in your body. Is this light the secret to instant dieting, extra pocket change, hearts that beat together in rhythm? And is that a hint at a better sex life that you sense? You blush. Besides the desire to celebrate, to participate in the gala of life, you also perceive another mounting urgency, one you could only label as spiritual. The only way to say it is this: you feel called. You feel summoned by a sacred and watching power, one that knows your true soul. There is something important you are here on this planet to do, and this light will help you discover and accomplish it.

You glance around, not quite sure you want anyone noticing the transformational effects, especially those kick up your heels sensations. How are you

going to explain these alterations to your friends and relatives, much less to yourself? In your search for an answer, you finally look at the door itself. Yes, theres a sign on it: kundalini .

Whatever this is, you want more of it.

Everyone doesand hassince time began. Who wouldnt want to participate in the secret to longevity, health, wisdom, and, yes, sexual fulfillment? Whether youve already flung aside the gateway to kundalini or are simply standing at its entryway, you are ushering in a light, an energy, a divinely inspired and ancient power that has been center stage in spiritual communities throughout the history of the word.

Kundalini has long been known as a divine force and the key to enlightenment, as well as the secret power of bodily pleasures and joy. The best part is that you dont have to climb the stairway to heaven to find the entrance. To embrace its power, you dont need to follow a certain set of scriptures or wait until death do you part. Youve only to search inside of yourself, and its wild, divine light becomes clearer. Youve only to invite this energy from the gods forth to emblazon your own life force.

If you were able to fully draw on your kundalini, the life force that lies within, what might you do? Well, you could lasso the stars and pull them to earth, plant your dreams in the soil and grow love, laugh into the wind, and heal the world. You could write your name in the water, author your life, and sing with the Divine.

At some level, kundalini has already been accomplishing all this and more for you. Youve already been exercising its enchantment to become the great person you are. As mysterious as its name and as magical as its origin, kundalini has been pulsing in your body since you were conceived, performing tasks as basic as igniting the electricity in your cells and as elusive as attracting others to you. Kundalini is a god energy, and as such, it nourishes your uniqueness and upholds your sacred vocation. Since it originates from the Divine Source, it also interconnects you with all living beings, as well as with the Divine itself. Because of these connections, to tap into your kundalini is to open the channel to your intuition, to begin to hear the messages in the wind, to receive revelations colored with inspiration, and to know the unknowable. In short, kundalini allows you to be you and encourages others to be themselves.
