Kundalini, also known as the serpent power, is an energy which lies dormant at the base of our spinal cord (back bone) between two lotuses. One lotus at the base of spinal cord and another at the middle of the head. There are mainly six chakras (energy centers) in the path of kundalini between these two lotuses and by raising kundalini and piercing these chakras one can enjoy the bliss of a meditative state, experience the inner mysterious world and even gain supernatural powers. Power to heal, power of intuition, power of thought, power to make things manifest and power to feel the oneness with the universal divine energy are the result of Kundalini Yoga. Through regular meditation on this kundalini one can awaken it, make it traverse through the spinal cord and unravel the mysteries of universe.

I experience a rare tingling sensation as if ants are moving up and down in my spinal cord whenever I meditate on kundalini. It's a blissful feeling and it takes me beyond time and space. I have been also hearing different kinds of musical sounds when I am meditating on my spinal cord. It is such a sweet music that no musical instrument in this world can match it. I also experience many conversations, mantra chanting and divine lights.

Q: What are the six chakras (centers) in the spinal cord, where are they and what do they represent?

A: The six chakras (energy centers) are Mooladhara, Swadhistana, manipuraka, Anahata, Vishuddhi and Ajnya chakra. These chakras are in the shushumana nadi inside the spinal cord. The first five chakras represent five elements and the sixth chakra represents the source of all elements. Mooladhara represents Earth, Swadhistana represents Water, Manipuraka represents Fire, Anahata represents Air and Vishuddhi represents Ether and ajnya represents Pure divine consciousness (the source of all the five elements). As you meditate on each chakra you start gaining control over the corresponding element.
