Reviewing The Past And Charting The Future: Unlocking The Mysteries Of The Kundalini
In this session, we are introduced to the third course in the series titled "Unlocking the Mysteries of Kundalini Shakti." The course will explore the 10 paths of Kundalini awakening in-depth. Before diving into the new material, a brief recap of the previous courses is provided, which covered the nature of Kundalini, its connection to the brain and chakras, and its transformative effects on consciousness and personal growth. Kundalini is described as a dormant potential force located at the base of the spinal column, and through yogic techniques, it can be awakened to activate higher consciousness. The purpose of Kundalini awakening is to bring higher consciousness into our normal awareness, unlocking hidden potential and fostering a deeper connection with nature and the cosmos.

Mantra Chanting & Nada Yoga
In this session, the focus is on exploring the second method of awakening Kundalini: the practice of mantra. Mantra chanting is described as a powerful and safe sadhana that requires steady and regular practice. Seeking guidance from a knowledgeable guru is emphasized to receive a suitable mantra and proper guidance. Consistent and dedicated mantra chanting starts awakening a higher force within, leading to detachment amidst the sensualities of life. The session highlights the various ways to practice the mantra, such as chanting loudly, softly, on the mental or psychic plane, and synchronization with breath or singing in the form of kirtan. The related practice of awakening through sound or music, known as nada yoga, is also mentioned, which involves using specific sounds (beeja mantras) and melodies corresponding to chakras. Nada yoga is described as a gentle and absorbing way to awaken Kundalini and connect with the transformative power of sound.
