When we study Kundalini and the awakening of the consciousness, there are seven fundamental chakras that we study out of the hundreds or thousands of chakras that exist; we study seven main ones. The most important one for us in the beginning is called Muladhara in Sanskrit. This chakra is related with the sexual organs. Why is this so important? Because life emerges from sex. All life, including spiritual life, is sexual. This is the organ that we use to perpetuate life, that we use to feed nature. Likewise, if we want to be born again, we use the same organ, but in a different way. This is why Jesus said that it is one thing to be born of the body and another thing to be born of the spirit. Both are forms of birth, both are sexual, but the use of the energy is different.

The important thing here is that the energy that will awaken the consciousness and will give us the spiritual insight we need is enclosed within Muladhara, trapped, asleep. This is where Kundalini rests and awaits for us to come and awaken it. It is in the energetic center called Muladhara, which is near our sexual organs.

That sleeping force is represented symbolically as a serpent that is coiled three and a half times and is sleeping. Why? First of all, the word Kundalini comes from Kunda in Sanskrit, which means coiled. A serpent sleeps coiled up. It is sleeping in Muladhara, waiting us to awaken it.

That energy, when it is awakened, utilizes the Kanda to enter Shushumna, the channel in the spinal column. When that force awakens, it arises vertebra by vertebra, little by little activating and awakening. As it passes through the spine, it activates the chakras or energetic centers and their corresponding functions. Many call them powers, but really, they are natural functions. In the same way that our breathing and our digestion, everything about us physically is natural, chakras are natural. They should be active, they should be functional, but they are not because of the causes and conditions that we have produced.

This energy that sleeps in Muladhara is Kundalini. It is symbolized as a serpent. This power, this force is the root energy of all existence. Kundalini is the primordial energy in everything. It is called Sakti in Sanskrit. It is the power or light that gives life to every existing thing. In order to understand this force, we need to really approach this scientifically, to not just accept theories. We need to contemplate how things function in nature and understand that spiritual things function the same way, just in other levels.

When we study energy physically, we see that there is a variety of modifications of energy. Energy functions according to laws. We know that energy and matter are inseparable and totally related and that they are just different modifications of the same thing. Energy and matter are a great, very beautiful mystery. When those forces are manifest as energy, that energy is modified according to its conditioning. Energy can be static or dynamic. In other words, it can be latent in potential form, or in an active form. So within our cells, for example, we have potential energy and active energy. Within our body, there is potential energy and there is dynamic energy. Kundalini itself is both, depending upon its conditioning.

Every part of us has Kundalini, Prana, but static, in potential, not active. Every atom in existence has this force within it, everything, without exception, because it is the fire that creates life. Yet, it is not activated. It is static.

When we talk about Kundalini as fire, it is not physical fire. It is spiritual. It is energy, but it is not physical, it is something else. In Hinduism they call it Sakti. Sakti really just means energy, but Sakti is usually represented as a mother, as a woman, a goddess. The universe is her body. We are all particles of that. The Divine Mother is pure energy, we can understand that. All of us are here and exist within that body of energy, the universe. That root is within us, but not fully developed. It is longing for development. In our bodies, that force is condensed, synthesized as a seed in Muladhara, in that chakra in us. The physical exponent of that seed is in our sexual organs. That is why Muladhara is next to the sexual organs.

We utilize the power of Sakti physically to create children. That is the power of God: to create. That power comes from Kundalini in the ultimate sense. This is not awakened or developed Kundalini, but it is due to to this power.

When we talk about Kundalini, really we are talking about the Divine Mother. We are talking about the goddess, and you can call her Isis, Mary, Tara, Athena, Minerva, whatever name you want, but she is the cause of existence. Her body is energy and her pure potentiality awaits us in our bodies.

In Hinduism, the goddess Sakti has a spouse: Siva. masculine and feminine, two forces. Siva can create or destroy. Sakti is Siva’s power. These figures symbolize forces, energies. Siva is not an individual, but a force, an intelligence.
