Simple Health Cures

   The focus in Kundalini Yoga is on the seven main chakras in the human beings. These seven chakras are to be awakened as they are considered the centers of psychic ability. The awakening of these chakras is aimed at releasing the untapped Kundalini energy. It is said to rest in the shape of two snakes coiled up around the spine beginning at the base of the spine. These two channels of energy are said to correlate to the masculine and feminine psychic energies.

   The male form is called “Ida” and starts from the right hand side of the spine. On the other hand the “Pingala” is the female form and starts from the left. The two snake-like channels coil up along the spine and as the chakras lie along the spine, these channels influence the centers of all the chakras. Thus being able to control the flow of energy through these channels helps you develop your psychic ability. This is said to help you reach your final goal of self mastery and nirvana.

   This form of yoga is associated with Tantra. Unlike other forms of yoga which advocate celibacy where possible with respect to spiritual growth, the Tantric (one who practices Tamtra) is said to harness sexual feelings and contact to reach enlightenment. It is a controversial form of Yoga, but it does have a fairly strong fan base. Just how effective it is will be debated without any agreement being reached for ages.

   The Tantric form of Yoga is seen as a way to combine the physical male and female energies so that the human being can experience being a “whole” source of energy. Many people do not understand the true nature of Tantric Yoga and think of it as a way to get laid. The experience of tantric lovemaking is not to ensure that you have an orgasm. In fact the lovers during the love making process called “Maithuna” strive not to have an orgasm.

   The release of the sexual energy is used to aid the Kundalini Energy travel upwards through the spine. Then this energy is used to awaken the seven chakras in the body so that there can be a union of “Shakti” and “Shiva. The form of yoga is not the ideal one if you are looking to heal a particular disease. There is also the danger of quacks trying to teach you nonsense. So don’t try this out unless you are sure you know what you are getting into.
