know, that <strong>Kundalini energy<\/strong> has been present inside human bodies, since ancient times. We are born with it. However, many of us spend an entire lifetime, without knowing that exists in the first place. We try to look for happiness, perfection, and creativity outside when these are built in our psyche.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kundalini energy happens to be a strong female transformative force that has been studied for centuries. After its <strong>awakening<\/strong>, the energy travels through the <strong>energy centers<\/strong> of the body which are termed chakras. These are a part of the <strong>astral body.<\/strong> You can <strong>awaken the kundalini Shakti<\/strong> through various means, like <strong>asanas, meditation, breathing patterns, and chanting<\/strong>. Additionally, a Guru can also activate this underlying power through \u2018<strong>Shakti path\u2019<\/strong>. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/namasteyogaschool.com\/Kundalini-yoga-teacher-training.php\">Kundalini Yoga<\/a> <\/strong>is one of the practices that mainly focuses on the harnessing and proper utilization of this power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Physical <strong>poses or asanas, breath manipulation, and meditation<\/strong> perform very important tasks to activate and channelize this energy. Asanas facilitate the stimulation of the chakras, breath manipulation facilitates the movement of energy, and meditation helps in the final activation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Seven_Chakras_Of_Kundalini_Yoga\"><\/span><strong>The Seven Chakras Of Kundalini Yoga&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You have to study the <strong>Kundalini chakras<\/strong> system associated with the Kundalini energy, to understand this entire aspect in a better manner. The chakras are related to various aspects like physical strength, emotions, and spiritual experiences. There are <strong>seven important chakras<\/strong> in the body. If there is any blockage in any of the chakras, the kundalini energy fails to complete the journey to the crown chakra. It manifests itself in the form of various ailments and behavioral issues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/namasteyogaschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/7-chakras-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"seven chakras\" class=\"wp-image-318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/namasteyogaschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/7-chakras-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/namasteyogaschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/7-chakras-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/namasteyogaschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/7-chakras-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/namasteyogaschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/7-chakras-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/namasteyogaschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/7-chakras-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/namasteyogaschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/7-chakras-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For now, you should know about the chakras in detail.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Root_chakra_Muladhara_Chakra\"><\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Muladhara#:~:text=%22root%20of%20Existence.%22%20Mula,%2C%20scha%2C%20sha%20and%20sa.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Root chakra<\/a> (Muladhara Chakra<\/strong>)<strong> :<\/strong> <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/namasteyogaschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/root-2533091_1280-2-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"Root chakra (Muladhara Chakra)\" class=\"wp-image-334 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/namasteyogaschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/root-2533091_1280-2-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/namasteyogaschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/root-2533091_1280-2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/namasteyogaschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/root-2533091_1280-2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/namasteyogaschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/root-2533091_1280-2-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/namasteyogaschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/root-2533091_1280-2.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Exploring The Kundalini Chakras &#8211;
