Kundalini Yoga is the science, art and technology
enabling one to access and utilize his or her own creative power
for elevation of consciousness, healing and other purposes beyond
reproduction.
This power, (shakti), is thought to lie dormant in the lower end of
the spine, and is often pictured as a coiled, sleeping serpent
(kundalini means coiled), until it is awakened, either
spontaneously or by yogic techniques, and arises to unite with the
Universal Energy (prana), empowering the individual with awareness
beyond ordinary perception and powers (siddhis) beyond ordinary
ability.
The science of Kundalini Yoga and meditation was developed over
50,000 years ago by rishis in India and Tibet. These teachings were
brought to the West in 1969, and presented to the public for the
first time by Yogi Bhajan. www.kundaliniyoga.com
