The energy centres, called ‘Chakras’ in Sanskrit, are connected to our nerve plexuses. Nerve plexuses control all functions of our body; they influence our physical, mental and emotional state. If there is a blockage or tension in a Chakra, we can feel out of balance. Each Chakra is associated with different bodily functions and emotional aspects.
When the Kundalini rises, the chakras open up and the blockages can disappear so that positive qualities can be strengthened. For these reasons the Kundalini is often referred to as a maternal energy; she nurtures us and helps us grow as human beings. The goal of the Selfrealisation is therefore to awaken the Kundalini. This is achieved through sincere desire, the desire to know yourself, or desire for Selfrealisation.
