What is kundalini?: The coiled energy at the base of the spine
Kundalini is described in Tantric tradition as dormant spiritual energy at the base of the spine, which can rise through the chakras toward awakening.
In the Shakta and Kashmir Shaivism traditions of Hindu Tantra, kundalini is Shakti, divine feminine energy, resting coiled near the root chakra. Awakening, whether it comes through years of practice, spontaneously, or after a life-changing experience, is described as this energy rising up the central channel of the body to the crown, where it unites with Shiva, pure consciousness.
In the tradition, that union is the highest spiritual experience. It's also why the tradition insists on preparation, patience and good teachers.

Kundalini practice is powerful and can be destabilizing without preparation and support. Never try to force an awakening, and learn direct practices from a qualified teacher. This isn't medical advice. This is deep inner territory. If you find yourself in real distress, please reach out to a mental health professional alongside your spiritual practice; the two work beautifully together.
