More about Kundalini Meditation

Many different meditation traditions have come into being during the last five thousand years, developing specific theologies and rituals, for deep spiritual exploration. All these meditative traditions have one goal in common-bringing human beings into more direct experiential contact with the spiritual realities of the universe.

Although various human civilizations have developed quite diverse ways for approaching spiritual reality, the Infinite Presence we seek communion with is always the same.

The reason Kundalini meditation is such a remarkable process for spiritual awakening is that it is not based on complex theological arguments, or religious concepts. Kundalini meditation is focused instead upon immediate, ultimate experience of divine within all of us, not upon belief systems regarding that divinity. Therefore, regardless of your particular religious upbringing and theological beliefs, all of us can employ Kundalini meditation to aid in our spiritual evolution.

Once we learn to look beyond concepts, we are free to encounter-through direct spiritual illumination-the radiant core of love and life that lies at the centre of our own personal consciousness.

The yogic meditation techniques of ancient India are the original source of present day Kundalini meditation technique. This path included, concerted breathing meditation, chanting of certain sounds, meditating upon certain visual images and focusing on the seven energy centers, or “chakras” that lie up and down the human spine.

The reason for Kundalini meditations’ universal appeal lies in its experience based approach for awakening our minds to the presence of our spiritual nature.

Through Kundalini meditation we can master the quieting of our habitual flows of thought, which normally block deep spiritual reflection. Then in this calm state of consciousness, we can observe and participate in the infinite life-force as it flows through our bodies. With regular meditation we come to experience a most remarkable phenomenon directly at the centre of our own being-the bright flash of illumination that brings us into immediate contact with the divine force of creation that animates all of life.

During the course of writing these posts I have removed all religious and esoteric overtones to Kundalini meditation. We are going to focus on core meditative technique that enables us to quiet our mind and know through immediate personal contact our oneness with universal life force-or whatever name you want to call it.
