Kundalini rises?
Medieval Tantric Yoga as promoted in the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, refers to Kundalini throughout its discourse. The mysterious Kundalini Shakti as a deep aspect of the feminine pole of existence or Prana Shakti is reported to unite with the male pole of existence, the stillpoint of consciousness or Shiva through the practices of Hatha Yoga.
Shakti is often translated as force. She is however more fully understood as creative intelligence and power.
The power and presence of the female and male poles in conjugal bliss is unicity or Yoga. Unicity is divine love or ‘Prema’, pure being or ‘Sat’, sublime bliss or ‘Ananda’ and super conscious radiant wisdom or ‘Cit’.
Shakti is thus positive and creative, evolutionary force rather than merely being energy like electricity, which is simply an aspect of flow-energy, a part of Prana Shakti.
Kundalini is also considered by many to be the engine of our entire psycho-spiritual evolution. Cosmic mind according to Tantra is comprised of two opposite poles. One pole is time, space and movement. The other is sentience. Tantric Yoga offers the means of liberating the power of individuated mind as a function of cosmic mind through bringing these poles into communion, the ensuing transformation being the arising of Kundalini.
