Kundalini Shakti

“In each human being dwells an infinite power, the root 

of the universe. That infinite power exists in two modes: 

one actual, the other potential. This infinite power exists 

in a latent condition in everyone.” 

The Gnostic Gospels

This passage from an ancient Christian text is referring to the infinite spiritual power known in Yoga as the Kundalini Shakti. This power is the secret key to all true spiritual and esoteric traditions throughout the ages. In Judaism it is known as Ruach, in Christianity as Holy Spirit,  in Taoism as Chi, and certain Native American tribes called it Ni.

Meditation and yoga are spiritual sciences developed to awaken the Kundalini Shakti and allow its infinite power to unfold within us so we are able to experience the totality of our being as it really is; one with the supreme reality. As the Kundalini unfolds we begin to realize that our potential as a human being is limitless and we are free to express ourselves in realms of infinite possibility. Perhaps the only limitations we have are self-imposed by the belief systems we hold on to so dearly. As the Kundalini manifests, limiting beliefs tend to fall away.

Gopi Krishna, a great mystic and researcher into the process of Kundalini, said that “this mechanism, known as Kundalini, is the real cause of all genuine spiritual and psychic phenomena, the biological basis of evolution and the development of personality, the secret origin of all esoteric and occult doctrines, the master key to the unsolved mystery of creation, the inexhaustible source of philosophy, art, and science, and the fountainhead of all religious faiths — past, present, and future.”

Kundalini is the secret to discovering who we are, what the purpose of our lives is, and finding meaning and fulfillment in our day to day world. No matter who we are, by awakening our spiritual power and allowing it to unfold, we come into direct contact with the very source of our being.

Just as we eat and rest each day, we can meditate each day to transcend the worries and problems of day to day living and tap into the infinite reservoir of power, love, and wisdom that lies within us, known as Kundalini. By doing this on a daily basis, our lives become full of light and love and we become happy, healthy, and fulfilled. Life stops appearing as a problem and becomes a wonderful opportunity and adventure, filled with infinite possibilities. Our lives are the play of Consciousness. We are the actors, the stage acted upon and the audience enjoying the play!
