Kundalini and Chakras: Awakening the Hidden Powers
Kundalini and chakras represent the awakening of hidden powers within. The cosmic energy is the Divine Mother. The human body contains immense divine energy for well-being and self-realization. It is composed of five elements, senses, prāṇas, and 72,000 nerve channels. The main chakras are located along the spinal column, governing the flow of this energy. The body has five sheaths: physical, energetic, mental, intellectual, and blissful. Human life rests on four aims: duty, wealth, desire, and liberation. There are negative qualities like passion and anger, to be used sparingly like salt. Positive energies to awaken are devotion, detachment, knowledge, sacrifice, and liberation. The internal organ consists of mind, intellect, and ego, connected to impurities, disturbances, and the curtain of ignorance. The Suṣumṇā channel connects to the crown chakra. The body is a holy temple. Chakra meditation involves relaxing and feeling the spine, illuminating each cell with divine energy.
"These five qualities, which appear as negative, are in a certain way for our own protection and survival. Just like salt in your food."
"Treat thy body as holy. Relax and feel your body. Love your body. Love your life."
