Kundalini

"Chakras", The subtle aspects of these psychic centers, which work in coordination with nerves, cells, and fibers that are related through intermediate conductors with the gross system, the sense organs, and the work organs. It is important to understand, to awaken Kundalini, that its material is the immobile support of all operations and activities in the body and, like consciousness, it has no organ. Kundalini maintains all the beings of the world by means of inspiration and expiration. Kundalini is a vital force.

The word kundalini comes from the Sanskrit word kundal, which means "coil." It is compared with a serpent that, while resting and sleeping, lies coiled. The comparison between a serpent and Kundalini comes because of the nature of its movement, which is spiraling and serpent like. Kundalini is an aspect of the eternal, supreme Divine consciousness, which is both with and without attributes. In the attributeless or "nirguna" aspect it is the will of Cosmic consciousness, and is pure consciousness.

In the aspect with attributes this energy is often personified as Kundalini, an aspect of the Great Goddess, just as Primal Energy, or Shakti, is personified as Shakti. It is through the power of Kundalini that all creatures act.In individual bodies the same energy lies dormant, as a static center around which every form of existence revolves.

In the phenomenal world there is always a power in and behind every activity. Hatha Yoga and tantric scriptures reflects that Kundalini is energy in static and kinetic form, which is present in all manifested phenomena. The kinetic energy becomes the energy used by the phenomenon for its survival, and the static energy remains dormant during normal consciousness.
