The Spiritual Path of Kundalini Yoga
Kundalini Yoga is an ancient teaching steeped in mystical wisdom and spiritual power. Originally, this sacred knowledge was only passed down from master to disciple, in deep silence and trust. It was not until 1968 that this powerful practice was brought to the Western world by Yogi Bhajan, where he began to teach it openly, with the aim of elevating humanity and connecting it to its true potential.
The roots of yoga reach back to the time when man became aware of his spiritual nature. The ability to live healthily, happily and spiritually consciously was developed thousands of years ago, through deep connections with the universal energy during many civilizations. The ancient sages understood that human health and inner well-being are inextricably linked to the life energy, the prana, that flows through us.
Kundalini Yoga, also called “the yoga of consciousness” and forms the core of all yoga forms. It focuses on awakening Kundalini, the dormant energy at the base of the spine that embodies the potential of human consciousness. This energy, when awakened and channeled, leads to a deep inner transformation, bringing body, mind, and spirit into harmony with the universal flow.
Every practice of yoga, whether Hatha, Yin, or other, has as its deepest purpose the activation of this Kundalini energy. Kundalini Yoga itself offers a complete spiritual technology that combines breath (pranayama), movement (kriyas), mantra, and meditation to elevate the mind and open the heart. It is a path of purification and enlightenment that allows us to experience the deepest truths about ourselves and the universe.
In Kundalini Yoga, the practitioner is invited to bridge the gap between the earthly and the divine, to transcend the boundaries of the ego and enter into the infinity of consciousness. It reminds us that, in essence, we are light, here to shine and transform the world around us.
