| - Kundalini is een woord uit het Sanskriet dat letterlijk 'de opgerolde' betekent. Het verwijst naar een klein, spiraalvormig opgerold, energiekanaaltje aan de basis van de wervelkolom in de stuit; niet de stuit in het fysieke lichaam maar de energetische dubbelganger ervan, het energielichaam. Dit spiraalvormig kanaaltje is niet groter dan een halve centimeter en bestaat uit drieëneenhalve winding. Uit de bovenkant van deze spiraal stroomt een onzichtbare energie: de kundalini-energie. Deze energie kan door vele kanalen in het energielichaam stromen en ook uitstromen in de aura. Met het energielichaam wordt een niet-zichtbaar lichaam van niet-stoffelijke aard bedoeld. Het is waar te nemen via het innerlijk gevoel of via het (getrainde) 'geestesoog'. thumb|right|250px|Koendaliniesysteem met kanalen en centra De grootste energiekanalen (zie figuur) liggen in het energielichaam ter hoogte van de wervelkolom in het fysieke lichaam. Niet alleen in de stuit maar ook in de kruin en erboven, en ook onder de stuit in de aura zijn nog meer centra gesitueerd. In totaal zijn er acht kundalinicentra die op een rechte, verticale lijn liggen. Deze centra zijn niet dezelfde als de chakra's maar de kundalini-energie kan wel door deze chakra's stromen en een chakra op die manier activeren. Het kundalinicentrum in de stuit ligt zo dicht bij het eerste (of wortel)chakra dat deze vaak als één chakra worden beschouwd. De kundalini-energie werkt door in alle aspecten van iemands leven, zowel het lichamelijke, het emotieleven, het mentale als het spirituele leven. Bij grote veranderingen in iemands leven zal het kundalini-energiesysteem doorgaans extra actief zijn en meehelpen deze veranderingen te realiseren.

It rises from muladhara chakra up a subtle channel at the base of the spine (called Sushumna), and from there to top of the head merging with the sahasrara, or crown chakra. The awakening is not a physical occurrence. It consists exclusively of development in consciousness. With awakening of the Kundalini our consciousness expands and we become more aware of the truth. When Kundalini Shakti is conceived as a goddess, then, when it rises to the head, it unites itself with the Supreme Being (Lord Shiva). Then aspirant becomes engrossed in deep meditation and infinite bliss. The arousing of kundalini is said to be the one and only way of attaining Divine Wisdom. Self-Realization is said to be equivalent to Divine Wisdom or Gnosis or what amounts to the same thing: Self-Knowledge. The awakening of the Kundalini shows itself as "awakening of inner knowledge" and brings with itself pure joy, pure knowledge and pure love. However, like every form of energy one must also learn to understand spiritual energy. In order to be able to integrate this spiritual energy, careful purification and strengthening of the body and nervous system are required beforehand. By trying to force results, considerable psychic disturbances and at times even permanent mental damage can occur. A spiritual master who walked this path before is required to guide the aspirant. Often will be found that negative experiences occurred only when acting without appropriate guidance or ignoring advice. Kundalini can only be awakened through the grace of a Siddha-Guru who awakens the kundalini shakti of his discipline through shaktipat, or blessing . A Siddha Guru is a spiritual teacher, a master, whose identification with the supreme Self is uninterrupted. The most famous of the Yoga Upanishads, the Yogatattva Upanishad, mentions four kinds of yoga, one of which, laya-yoga, involves Kundalini.
- Kundalini also known as Chakra are Harmonic focal points within the human body. Kundalini (kuṇḍalinī, Sanskrit: कुण्डलिनी, Thai: กุณฺฑลินี) literally means coiled. In yoga, a "corporeal energy" - an unconscious, instinctive or libidinal force(Shakti), lies coiled at the base of the spine. It is envisioned either as a God/Godess or else as a sleeping serpent, hence a number of English renderings of the term such as 'serpent power'. Chakra derived from the Sanskrit word for "wheel" or "turning" (cakraṃ चक्रं [ˈtʃəkrə̃], pronounced [ˈtʃəkrə] in Hindi; Pali: cakka चक्क, Thai: จักระ, Tamil: சக்கரம், Kannada : ಚಕ್ರ, Chinese: 轮, Tibetan: འཁོར་ལོ་; khorlo). Chakra is a concept referring to wheel-like vortices which, according to Ayurveda, are believed to exist in the surface of the Aetheric body of man. The Chakras are said to be "force centers" or whorls of energy permeating, from a point on the physical body, the layers of the subtle bodies in an ever-increasing fan-shaped formation. Rotating vortices of subtle matter, they are considered the focal points for the reception and transmission of energies. Different systems posit a varying number of chakras; the most well known system in the West is that of seven chakras. Although there are various interpretations as to what exactly a chakra is, the following features are common in all systems:
* They form part of a subtle energy body, nadis (energy channels)(Thai: นาฑีส์), chakras (psychic centres), prana (subtle energy)(Thai: ปราณส์), and bindu (drops of essence).
* Five of them are located along a central nadi, Sushumna (Thai: สุษุมฺนา), which runs either alongside or inside the spine.
* Two other nadis, Ida (Thai: อิทะ) and Pingala (Thai: ปิงฺคละ), also run through the chakras, and alongside Sushumna. They occasionally cross Sushumna at the location of the chakras.
* They possess a number of 'petals' or 'spokes'. In some traditions, such as the Tibetan, these spokes branch off into the thousands of nadis that run throughout the human body.
* They are generally associated with a mantra seed-syllable, and often with a variety of colours and deities. Chakras are considered to be a point or nexus of biophysical energy or prana of the human body. Shumsky states that "prana is the basic component of your subtle body, your energy field, and the entire chakra system...the key to life and source of energy in the universe." The following seven primary chakras are commonly described:
* Muladhar (Sanskrit: मूलाधार, Mūlādhāra, Thai: มูลาธาระ) Base or Root Chakra (ovaries/prostate)
* Swadhisthana (Sanskrit: स्वाधिष्ठान, Svādhiṣṭhāna, Thai: สฺวาธิษฺฐานะ) Sacral Chakra (last bone in spinal cord, the coccyx)
* Manipur (Sanskrit: मणिपूर, Maṇipūra, Thai: มณีปูระ) Solar Plexus Chakra (navel area)
* Anahat (Sanskrit: अनाहत, Anāhata, Thai: อนาหะตะ) Heart Chakra (heart area)
* Vishuddha (Sanskrit: विशुद्ध, Viśuddha, Thai: วิศุทฺธะ) Throat Chakra (throat and neck area)
* Ajna (Sanskrit: आज्ञा, Ājñā, Thai: อาชฺญา) Brow or Third Eye Chakra (pineal gland or third eye)
* Sahasrar (Sanskrit: सहस्रार, Sahasrāra, Thai: สหัสฺราระ) Crown Chakra (top of the head; 'soft spot' of a newborn)
