ॐ गं गणपतये नम:।
अक्षरं परमं ब्रह्म ज्योतीरूपं सनातनम्।
निराकारं स्वेच्छामयमनन्तजम्॥
कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन।
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भुर्मा ते संगोऽस्त्वकर्मणि॥[श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता 2.47]
कुण्डलिनी जागरण-सप्तर्षि गण और प्रतीकात्मक शक्तियाँ  :: बाह्य जगत की प्रतिकृति ये मानव शरीर भी एक ब्रम्हांड ही है और तदनुसार मानव शरीर में भी उत्तर और दक्षिण दो ध्रुव विराजमान हैं, जिनमे विद्युत चुम्बकत्व की धनात्मक और ऋणात्मक शक्ति प्रवाहित रहती है, मष्तिष्क को उत्तरी ध्रुव और मूलाधार को दक्षिण ध्रुव माना गया है। 
इन्ही के मध्य मूलाधार, स्वाधिष्ठान, मणिपूर, अनाहत, विशुद्ध ,आज्ञा और सहस्रार चक्र हैं अर्थात मूलाधार यदि एक छोर पर स्थित है तो सहस्रार दूसरे छोर पर स्थित है और उस दिव्य शक्ति का आदान प्रदान मेरुदंड में स्थित सुषुम्ना सूत्र के द्वारा होता है। 
सुषुम्ना पथ ही इन शक्तियों को परिष्कृत कर दोनों छोरो पर शक्ति का परस्पर आदान प्रदान करता है। ये 7 चक्र वस्तुतः सप्त ऋषियों के प्रतिनिधि हैं। अर्थात् इन चक्रों में इन ऋषियों का ही तत्व-भाव प्रकाशित होता है। बाह्य दृष्टि से जो ऋषि हैं, वास्तव में वो सात शक्तियां और सात तत्व भाव हैं; जो जीवन के विभिन्न क्रिया कलापों को सुचारू रूप से संपन्न करने की क्षमता प्रदान करते हैं। 
ये भाव, ये तत्व सूर्य से ही प्राण को ग्रहण करते हैं, तभी उनमे जीवन की उपस्थिति हो पाती है। यह साधक के ऊपर निर्भर करता है कि वो उपरोक्त सप्त शक्तियों का (जो कि  सूर्य से ही प्राणों का शोषण करते हैं और तदनुरूप साधक को दैदिप्यता और तेजस प्रदान करते हैं) कितना तीव्र प्रयोग कर पाता है। 
सप्तर्षि गण और प्रतीकात्मक शक्तियाँ :: 
वशिष्ठ ::  अग्नि तत्व-विवेक शक्ति, विश्वामित्र ::  आकाश तत्व-इच्छा शक्ति, भरद्वाज :: चेतन तत्व-संकल्प शक्ति, गौतम :: वायु तत्व-विचार शक्ति, जमदग्नि :: तेज तत्व-क्रिया शक्ति, अत्री :: जल तत्व-वाणी शक्तिऔर कश्यप :: पृथ्वी तत्व-उत्थान शक्ति। 
प्रतीक रूप में ये सप्तर्षि ही मानव के वे सात शरीर या ब्रम्हांड के वे सात लोक हैं, जिन्हें भू, भुवः, स्वः, मन:, जनः, तपः और सत्य लोक कहा गया है। ये मानव शरीर में उपस्थित वो सात सम्भावनाएँ हैं जिनको की यदि चैतन्य कर लें तो, फिर मनुष्य लिए कुछ भी अप्राप्य नहीं रह जाता। 
मानव शरीर में उपस्थित चेतना की ये सात परतें ही हैं, जो किसी भी असाध्य को साध्य कर देती हैं। यदि तंत्र का आश्रय लिया जाये तो निश्चित ही, चेतना के इन सातों स्तरों की प्राप्ति सहज हो जाती है। सूर्य विज्ञानं के जिज्ञासुओं को या साधकों को इस रहस्य को आत्मसात कर सिद्ध हस्त होने के लिए तो पूरा एक साधना क्रम ही संपन्न करना पड़ता है। 
सामान्य क्रम अपनाकर भी मनुष्य कुंडलिनी के चक्रों को ना ही सिर्फ स्पंदित कर सकते हैं, अपितु सप्त ऋषियों की चेतना का ये स्पंदन अपने जीवन में उतार कर अपना भाग्य स्वतः ही लिख सकते हैं और दुर्भाग्य को पूरी तरह मिटाकर एक सौम्यता और तेजोमयता की प्राप्ति कर सकते हैं। 
रविवार से इस साधना को प्रारंभ किया जा सकता है और प्रातः काल स्नान कर सूर्य को जल समर्पित करते वक़्त जल पात्र की और दृष्टि-ध्यान केन्द्रित करके निम्न मंत्र का 108 बार उच्चारण किया जाये और तत्पश्चात सूर्य को “ॐ तेजस्विताय नमः” कहकर जल अर्पित करे या अर्घ्य चढ़ाया जाये। 
ॐ सूर्य सूर्याय सूर्य सप्तर्षिभ्यो सह चैतन्य प्राप्तुम पूर्ण तेजस्विताय नमः॥ 
कुण्डलिनी जागरण का अनुभव :- कुण्डलिनी वह दिव्य शक्ति है जिससे सब जीव जीवन धारण करते हैं, समस्त कार्य करते हैं और फिर परमात्मा में लीन हो जाते हैं।यह कुण्डलिनी शक्ति सर्प की तरह साढ़े तीन फेरे लेकर शरीर के सबसे नीचे के चक्र मूलाधार चक्र में स्थित होती है। जब तक यह इस प्रकार नीचे रहती है तब तक मनुष्य सांसारिक विषयों की ओर भागते रहते हैं.
परन्तु जब यह जाग्रत होती है तो उस समय ऐसा प्रतीत होता है कि कोई सर्पिलाकार तरंग है जिसका एक छोर मूलाधार चक्र पर जुडा हुआ है और दूसरा छोर रीढ़ की हड्डी के चारों तरफ घूमता हुआ ऊपर उठ रहा है। यह बड़ा ही दिव्य अनुभव होता है। यह छोर गति करता हुआ किसी भी चक्र पर रुक सकता है। जब कुण्डलिनी जाग्रत होने लगती है तो पहले मूलाधार चक्र में स्पंदन का अनुभव होने लगता है। यह स्पंदन लगभग वैसा ही होता है जैसे कोई अंग फड़कता हो। फिर वह कुण्डलिनी तेजी से ऊपर उठती है और किसी एक चक्र पर जाकर रुक जाती है। जिस चक्र पर जाकर वह रूकती है उसको व उससे नीचे के चक्रों को वह स्वच्छ कर देती है, यानि उनमें स्थित नकारात्मक उर्जा को नष्ट कर देती है। 
इस प्रकार कुण्डलिनी जाग्रत होने पर मनुष्य सांसारिक विषय भोगों से विरक्त हो जाता है और ईश्वर प्राप्ति की उसका मन लग जाता है। उसकी कार्यक्षमता कई गुना बढ जाती है। कठिन कार्य भी वह आसानी और शीघ्रता से कर सकता है। 
कुण्डलिनी जागरण के सामान्य लक्षण  :- ध्यान में ईष्ट देव का दिखाई देना या हूं हूं या गर्जना के शब्द करना, गेंद की तरह एक ही स्थान पर फुदकना, गर्दन का भाग ऊँचा उठ जाना, सर में चोटी रखने की जगह यानि सहस्रार चक्र पर चींटियाँ जैसे चलने की अनुभूति होना, कपाल ऊपर की तरफ तेजी से खिंच रहा है ऐसा लगना, मुँह का पूरा खुलना और चेहरे की मांसपेशियों का ऊपर खींचना और ऐसा लगना कि कुछ है जो ऊपर जाने की कोशिश कर रहा है। 
एक से अधिक शरीरों का अनुभव होना :- कई बार साधकों को एक से अधिक शरीरों का अनुभव होने लगता है अर्थात स्थूल शरीर से सूक्ष्म-मनोमय शरीर और कारण शरीर का निकलना। साधक घबरा जाता है और साधना छोड़ सकता है।
सुषुम्ना नाड़ी ::  सभी नाड़ियों में श्रेष्ठ सुषुम्ना नाड़ी है। मूलाधार (-Basal plexus) से आरंभ होकर यह सिर के सर्वोच्च स्थान पर अवस्थित सहस्रार तक आती है। सभी चक्र सुषुम्ना में ही विद्यमान हैं। इड़ा को गंगा, पिंगला को यमुना और सुषुम्ना को सरस्वती कहा गया है। इड़ा या पिंगला के प्रभाव में मनुष्य बाहरी स्थितियों को देखकर प्रतिक्रिया करते हैं। लेकिन एक बार सुषुम्ना में ऊर्जा का प्रवेश हो जाए, तो वह एक नए किस्म का संतुलन पा लेते हैं। मूल रूप से सुषुम्ना गुणहीन होती है, उसकी अपनी कोई विशेषता नहीं होती। वह एक तरह की शून्‍यता या खाली स्थान है। अगर शून्‍यता है तो उससे आप अपनी मर्जी से कोई भी चीज बना सकते हैं। सुषुम्ना में ऊर्जा का प्रवेश होते ही, आपमें वैराग्‍य आ जाता है। 
सुषुम्ना के क्रियाशील होते ही मनुष्य आन्तरिक-अंदरूनी संतुलन का आभास करता है। इस अवस्था में मनुष्य रोग दूर करने, सिद्धि प्राप्त करने और भविष्यवाणी करने जैसी शक्तियाँ प्राप्त कर लेता है। दोनों नासिका से साँस चलने का अर्थ है कि उस समय सुषुम्ना क्रियाशील है। ध्यान, प्रार्थना, जप, चिंतन और उत्कृष्ट कार्य करने के लिए यही समय सर्वश्रेष्ठ होता है।
इन तीन ना‍ड़ियों का पहला मिलन केंद्र मूलाधार कहलाता है। इसलिए मूलाधार को मुक्तत्रिवेणी (जहाँ से तीनों अलग-अलग होती हैं) और आज्ञाचक्र को युक्त त्रिवेणी (जहाँ तीनों आपस में मिल जाती हैं) कहते हैं।
कुंडलिनी योग का अभ्यास :: सेवा और भक्ति के द्वारा साधक को सर्वप्रथम अपनी चित्तशुद्धि करनी चाहिए। आसन, प्राणायाम, बंध, मुद्रा और हठयोग की क्रियाओं के अभ्यास से नाड़ी शुद्धि करना भी आवश्यक है। साधक को श्रद्धा, भक्ति, गुरुसेवा, विनम्रता, शुद्धता, अनासक्ति, करुणा, प्रेरणा, विवेक, मानसिक ‍शांति, आत्मसंयम, निर्भरता, धैर्य और संलग्नता जैसे सद्गुणों का विकास करना चाहिए।
उसे एक के बाद दूसरे चक्र पर ध्यान करना आवश्यक है। जैसा कि पूर्व पृष्ठों में बताया गया है उसे एक सप्ताह तक मूलाधारचक्र और फिर एक सप्ताह तक क्रमश: स्वाधिष्ठान इत्यादि चक्रों पर ध्यान करना चाहिए।
विभिन्न विधियाँ ::   कुंडलिनी जागरण की विभिन्न विधियाँ हैं। राजयोग में ध्यान-धारणा के द्वारा कुंडलिनी जाग्रत होती है। भक्त भक्ति से, ज्ञानी, चिंतन, मनन और ज्ञान से तथा कर्मयोगी मानवता की नि:स्वार्थ सेवा से कुंडलिनी जागरण करता है। कुंडलिनी मनुष्य की अध्यात्मिक प्रगति का माप है। साधना का चाहे कोई मार्ग क्यों न हो, कुंडलिनी अवश्य जाग्रत होती है। साधना में प्रगति के साध कुंडलिनी सुषम्ना नाड़ी में अवश्य चढ़ती है। कुंडलिनी का सुषुम्ना में ऊपर चढ़ने का अर्थ है चेतना में अधिकाधिक विस्तार। प्रत्येक केंद्र प्रयोगी को प्रकृति के किसी न किसी पक्ष पर नियंत्रण प्रदान करता है। उसे शक्ति और आनंद की प्राप्ति होती है। कुंडलिनी जागरण के लिए कुंडलिनी प्राणायाम, अत्यन्त प्रभावशाली सिद्ध होते हैं। कुंडलिनी जब मूलाधार का भेदन करती है, तो व्यक्ति अपने निम्न स्वरूप से ऊपर उठ जाता है। अनाहत चक्र के भेदन से योगी वासनाओं (-सूक्ष्म कामना) से मुक्त हो जाता है और जब कुंडलिनी आज्ञाचक्र का भेदन कर लेती है तो योगी को आत्मज्ञान हो जाता है। उसे परमानंद अनुभव होता है।
परिभाषा :: रेचक का अर्थ है श्वास छोड़ना। पूरक का अर्थ है श्वास भीतर लेना। कुम्भक का अर्थ है श्वास को भीतर या बाहर रोक देना। श्वास लेकर भीतर रोकने कीप्रक्रिया को आन्तर या आभ्यान्तर कुम्भक कहते हैं। श्वास को बाहर निकालकर फिर वापस नलेकर श्वास बाहर ही रोक देने की क्रिया को बहिर्कुम्भक कहते हैं।
चक्र  ::  ये आध्यात्मिक शक्तियों के केन्द्र हैं। स्थूल शरीर में चर्मचक्षु से नहीं दीखते, क्योंकि वे हमारे सूक्ष्म शरीर में स्थित होते हैं। फिर भी स्थूल शरीर के ज्ञानतन्तु, स्नायु केन्द्र के साथ उनकी समानता जोड़कर उनका निर्देश किया जाता है। हमारे शरीर में ऐसे सात चक्र मुख्य हैं। (1). मूलाधार :- गुदा के पास मेरूदण्ड के आखिरी मनके के पास होताहै। (2). स्वाधिष्ठान :- जननेन्द्रिय से ऊपर और नाभि से नीचे के भाग में होता है।( 3). मणिपुर :- नाभिकेन्द्र में होता है। (4). अनाहत :- हृदय में होता है। (5). विशुद्ध :- कण्ठ में होता है। (6).आज्ञाचक्रः- दो भौहों के बीच में होता है। (7). सहस्रार :- मस्तिष्क के ऊपर के भाग में जहाँ चोटीरखी जाती है, वहाँ होता है।
प्रत्येक चक्र में दलों की एक निश्चित संख्‍या, विशिष्ट रंग, इष्ट देवता, तन्मात्रा (-सूक्ष्मतत्व) और स्पंदन का प्रतिनिधित्व करने वाला एक बीजाक्षर हुआ करता है। कुंडलिनी जब चक्रों का भेदन करती है तो उस में शक्ति का संचार हो उठता है, मानों कमल पुष्प प्रस्फुटित हो गया और उस चक्र की गुप्त शक्तियाँ प्रकट हो जाती हैं।
नाड़ी ::   प्राण वहन करने वाली बारीक नलिकाओं को नाड़ी कहते हैं। उनकी संख्या 72000 बतायी जाती है। इड़ा, पिंगला और सुषुम्ना ये तीन मुख्य हैं। उनमें भी सुषुम्ना सबसे अधिक महत्त्वपूर्ण है। मेरुरज्जु (-spinal card, back bone) में प्राणों के प्रवाह के लिए सूक्ष्म नाड़ी है, जिसे सुषुम्ना कहा गया है। इसमें अनेक केंद्र हैं। जिसे चक्र अथवा पदम कहा जाता है। कई ना‍ड़ियों के एक स्थान पर मिलने से इन चक्रों अथवा केंद्रों का निर्माण होता है। गुह्य रूप से इसे कमल के रूप में चित्रित किया गया है, जिसमें अनेक दल हैं। ये दल एक नाड़ी विशेष के परिचायक हैं तथा इनका अपना एक विशिष्ट स्पंदन होता है, जिसे एक विशेष बीजाक्षर के द्वारा अभिव्यक्त किया जाता है। 
कुण्डिलिनी जागरण हेतु आसान में सावधानियाँ  :-
* भोजन के छः घण्टे बाद, दूध पीने के दो घण्टे बाद या बिल्कुल खाली पेट ही आसन करें।
* शौच-स्नानादि से निवृत्त होकर आसन किये जाये तो अच्छा है।
* श्वास मुँह से न लेकर नाक से ही लेना चाहिए।
* गरम कम्बल, टाट या ऐसा ही कुछ बिछाकर आसन करें। खुली भूमि पर बिनाकुछ बिछाये आसन कभी न करें, जिससे शरीर में निर्मित होने वाला विद्युत-प्रवाहनष्ट न हो जायें।
* आसन करते समय शरीर के साथ ज़बरदस्ती न करें। आसन कसरत नहीं है।अतः धैर्यपूर्वक आसन करें।
* आसन करने के बाद ठंड में या तेज हवा में न निकलें।स्नान करना हो तो थोड़ी देर बाद करें।
* आसन करते समय शरीर पर कम से कम वस्त्र और ढीले होने चाहिए।
* आसन करते-करते और मध्यान्तर में और अंत में शवासन करके, शिथिलीकरणके द्वारा शरीर के तंग बने स्नायुओं को आराम दें।
* आसन के बाद मूत्रत्याग अवश्य करें जिससे एकत्रित दूषित तत्त्व बाहर निकलजायें।
* आसन करते समय आसन में बताए हुए चक्रों पर ध्यान करने से और मानसिक जप करने से अधिक लाभ होता है।
* आसन के बाद थोड़ा ताजा जल पीना लाभदायक है. ऑक्सिजन और हाइड्रोजनमें विभाजित होकर सन्धि-स्थानों का मल निकालने में जल बहुत आवश्यक होता है।
* स्त्रियों को चाहिए कि गर्भावस्था में तथा मासिक धर्म की अवधि में वे कोई भीआसन कभी न करें।
*स्वास्थ्य के आकांक्षी हर व्यक्ति को पाँच-छः तुलसी के पत्ते प्रातः चबाकरपानी पीना चाहिए। इससे स्मरणशक्ति बढ़ती है, एसीडीटी एवं अन्य रोगों में लाभ होता है।
KUNDLINI  (कुण्डलिनी) ::  is a form of SHAKTI-the corporeal energy. It’s described as a religious-spiritual tradition, as an indwelling spiritual energy that can be awakened in order to purify the subtle system ultimately, to bestow the state of Yog or Divine Union-association, upon the seeker-desirous of truth. 
Kundlini means circular-annular-a snake (-in coiled state forming ringlets). Tantr Sadbhav (तन्त्र सदभाव)  uses the term Kundlini (ring, bracelet, coil of a rope). Kundlini has been used as a name of Maan Durga-Shakti  in Tantrism, Shaktism, Sharada Tilak (शारदा तिलक),  Hath Yog, Yog Upnishad, as the dormant potential in the humans. It is one of the components of an esoteric description of the subtle body, which consists of Naad-nerves, carriers of messages to the brain and back to all cells, organs, systems (energy systems), Chakr (psychic centres), Pran (subtle energy) and Bindu (drops of essence) . The description of the location can vary slightly, from the rectum to the navel. Kundlini is based in the triangular shaped sacrum bone in three and a half coils. The image given is that of a serpent coiled three and a half times around a smoky grey Lingam. Each coil is said to represent one of the three gun-characterises, with the half coil signifying transcendence Kundlini awakening. 
The Yog Upnishad describes Kundlini as a coil at the base of the spine, like a sleeping serpent, waiting to be unwind-release-awakened. This may be called an unconscious, instinctive or libidinal force. It provides solution to the physical or psychological problems arising out of experiences traditionally associated with Kundlini awakening.  Kund stands for a water body, a bowl-water pot, ring, bracelet and/or a coil (of a rope). KUNDAL is another word close to KUNDLINI, meaning ear ring. 
There are two nerve currents in the spinal column, called Pingla and Ida around the hollow canal called Sushumana, running through the spinal cord. Lower end of the spinal cord constitutes the "Lotus of the Kundlini (नाभि कमल), "where it is coiled up, in a triangular form constituting the power center.  The uncoiled energy moves up step by step, layer after layer, reaching the brain, ultimately. At this juncture mind opens up and ultimate vision along with wonderful powers, come to the Yogi, leading to detachment from the body and mind; setting the soul free. Kundlini awakening is just the beginning of actual spiritual experience.
Kundlini-awakening of the soul, through Yog, results in deep meditation, enlightenment and bliss-PARMANAND.  It involves the movement of Kundlini (प्राण वायु),  up to the central channel of the nervous system, to reside within the Sahasrar Chakr over the head. This movement of Kundlini is felt either by the presence of a cool or a warm gush of air, across the palms or the soles. Kundlini is a sensation like electric current, running along the spine.
KUNDLINI may be awakened by Shakti Path, spiritual transmission by a Guru-teacher or through spiritual practices like Yog or meditation. It may be that the Kundlini has awakened spontaneously as the result of practices in previous births. On being awakened, it rises up from the Mooladhar Chakr (मूलाधार चक्र)  through the central Nadi, called Sushumana, inside or alongside the spine and reaching the top of the head. The progress of Kundlini through the different Chakr-cycles leads to different levels of awakening and mystical experience, until Kundlini finally reaches the top of the head, Sahasrar or crown Chakr, producing an extremely profound mystical experience.
One has to sit with crossed legs over a cushion-carpet-mat-carpet-tiger  or deer skin, comfortably. Eyes should be focused through the brow point. Hold the hands together in prayer posture at the center of the chest or Gyan Mudra over the knees.
One may keep receiving the different names of the Almighty regularly so that the breath continues without interruption. It involves deep breathing alternately: sucking, holding and releasing the air in three cycles of duration of 24, 48 or 72 seconds. What the practitioner is supposed to do is to assimilate himself with the divinity.
One should consciously remember and experience the link between himself and the Creator. He has to think of the God and nothing else, as far as possible. This brings the soul and the body in unison with the Ultimate. The process is called Yog (+) i.e., summation-add ding-connecting-merging with the Almighty. The abstract-theme-extract-nectar lies in sounding-resonating-vibrating, rhythmically-continuously for some time (OM ॐ), this is the sound produced by the newly born child, while crying, without connecting it to any specific religion. 
These vibrations are called NAD (नाद) having different octaves of creative impact. This rhythm may take one to the most subtle realm of creativity. It awakens the Kundlini-the abstract-Ultimate, hidden present within one, that energises the whole creation. It awakens awareness and empowers the sense of the subtle body and the Aura. This practice of meditation gives intuition and the ability to heal. When one performs this earnestly, through consciousness and grace, he starts receiving the message from the Ultimate. This is one of the healers capable of reducing the impact of sins of innumerable previous births and rebirths. This is in fact a mechanism which elevates one, makes him closer to the God. If the opportunity comes by the grace of God accept it, with open heart-welcome it. This is something, which is a component of the technique which may make you, able to become unattached, leading to Salvation. 
तंत्र-मंत्र, शक्ति साधना, हठ योग में इसका प्रचुर उपयोग होता रहा है। यह नाभि कमल से ऊपर स्थित है। इसकी अनुभूति एक ऐसे सर्प के रूप में भी की जा सकती है, जो शिव लिंग के ऊपर साड़े तीन (3 1/2 three and a half) कुण्डली मार कर बैठा है।  
MOOLADHAR CHAKR (Mool-Root, Origin, Essence, ADHAR-Basis, Foundation) :: It constitutes the starting point for the spiritual development of the devotee. It lies at the lowest point of the vertebral column below the Coccyx. 
Kundlini is in a stationary-static state, which has to be awakened for Self-Realisation. 
Yog Nidra-the conscious sleep of the Yogi , provides pleasure  at a higher level of consciousness. It is one of the techniques of  relaxation. 
One should look into a distant point in space, completely detached and relieved, making the practitioner super conscious, filling him with bliss-the Ultimate pleasure-PARMANAND, THE ETERNAL.
The Omniscient Bhagwan Shiv revealed the procedure-methodology called Yog, to unite with the Ultimate. Bhagwan Shri Krashn narrated-elaborated it in Shri Mad Bhagwat Geeta.
The memories of our past lives-births-deeds are stored in Mooladhar Chakr, like the server of net working site. It protects all  information pertaining to our present life (-प्रारब्ध, Prarabdh-destiny), till the out come of previous deeds has been experienced-exhausted by the individual soul. Our past-present-future births are just the permutations and combinations of our deeds by virtue of destiny, due to previous births, accumulated deeds of present birth and the current deeds. Though tied with the destiny yet one has some liberty to improve the future.
The Mooladhar Chakr is the seat of the unconscious, like a sleeping serpent who appears to be peaceful and harmless, but dreaded-fierce-menacing and dangerous, when awake. In an active state it may demonstrate rage,  passion, desires, anger, freedom, joy, harmony and closeness to God. As soon as one identifies him self with the help of enlightenment-devotion-asceticism, the whole world change for him at once.
One is eager for spiritual development through purification-piousness-virtuousness-righteousness- honesty-devotion-dedication-shelter/asylum under the Almighty. All obstacles-blockades are removed and one progresses to realisation. Guidance-patronage of the Guru makes the task easier. Confidence-faith in the Mentor-Guru (-Shraddha-Bhakti-Vishwas-Astha-Nishtha-Prem) is  essential for success.
It's represented by an elephant having seven trunks-a symbol of prosperity and wisdom. The seven trunks of the elephant represent the seven minerals and the seven precious gems  found on the earth and symbolises the seven levels of consciousness: Unconsciousness, subconsciousness, dream consciousness, waking consciousness, astral consciousness, supreme consciousness and cosmic consciousness.
Its a good omen to see oneself riding an elephant, in dreams. The man (मन, mind & heart) and sense organs  are also compared with an elephant, who is kept under control by the goad-the ankush (अंकुश, Mantr & discipline).
The Beej Mantr-basic enchant of Mooladhar Chakr is LAM, the sound of spiritual awakening. It releases tensions and removes blockages in this Chakr and activates energy. Thus the process of awakening the dormant powers, within us and raising them into consciousness, begins. Pleasant or worrying experiences emerge from the past guiding, inspiring and helping one to decide his path-journey. One may face disappointment and painful disillusionment's. One should not loose heart and continue with all sorts of evil-wicked experiences. In such situations Agya Chakr will come to the rescue of the practitioner, guiding him in the attainment of spirituality.
Manan (मनन) :: Rational repeated thinking, analysing, clarity of visions, Sankalp (संकल्प) :: Determination-decision pertaining to right intentions-resolutions,  Vikalp (विकल्प) :: Choices-alternatives to clear doubts and discard false-vague ideas & Atm Chintan (आत्म चिन्तन) :Remembering the Almighty at every moment ;  helps one in attaining the Ultimate.
The roots of Lotus Blossom (-Mool Kamal) has four petals depicting the four directions and represent the four fundamental psychic functions of mind, intellect, consciousness and ego-whose roots do lie in  Mooladhar Chakr. The four petals also symbolise the four methods of evolution on this planet: Vegetative-from the body; from sweat, eggs and sexual intercourse. Shiv and Shakti are behind all creations. 
SHIV LING is the astral symbol for creativity, creative power and consciousness. Snake winds  the Shiv Ling three and a half times. The three rotations of the serpent represent the first three levels of consciousness-unconscious, subconscious and conscious; while the half turn refers to the awakened super-consciousness. 
The awakening-evolution of consciousness is connected with time and the snake represents phase-KALA (कला,  time, past and death or past, present and future). 
Alternate sign of the Mooladhar Chakr is an inverted triangle-pyramid. The down ward  tip  shows one at the thrash hold of  spiritual development;  while the sides that points upwards and outwards, show the direction of the growing consciousness.
It's affiliated with the smell. It leads to a heightening of sensory perceptions, especially the refinement of the senses of smell and hearing, so that we become aware of aromas and sounds that are not perceptible to others. Some people can see auras or feel the thoughts and moods of others.
The colour associated with Mooladhar Chakr is RED, which illustrates energy and vitality. It illustrates the presence of  energy connected to the earth (-Tatv तत्व). 
One must be a protector not he destroyer. The destroyer remains with animal instincts at the lowest level of consciousness, far far below the Mooladhar Chakr.
The growth of human consciousness begins in the Mooladhar  Chakr to the “thousand-petalled Lotus” of the Sahasrar Chakr.
AMRATAM is the Mantr of Bindu Chakr.
MAHA MRATUNJAY MANTR
 (For longevity, good health &  overcoming illness-death.)
(1) Om Mratunjayay Maha Devay Namostute.  मृतुंज्याय महादेवाय नमोस्तुते। 
(2)        Trayabkam Yeja Mahe Sugandhim Pusti Vardhnamur;
 Urvaruk Miv Bandhnan Mratyo Mukshi Mamratat.
  त्रयम्बकं  य़जामहे   सुगंधिम पुष्टि वर्ध्नम।
  उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनात् मृत्यो  मुक्षीय मामृतात्  
 the adored One, the three-eyed Bhagwan Shiv, you are omnipresent
May you nurture us and bless us with health
May your blessings liberate us and lead to immortality.
Let the blessings of Bhagwan Shiv fill-illuminate our consciousness. Let the nectar of immortality spread through the humans and expand through inner space (Chidakash). This Chakr brings all Chakr into harmony by utilising the nectar. Fear, sadness, anger, resentment and other disease-producing emotions are removed by the healing-protective divine vibration of this Mantr. Let it spread fragrance, melodiousness, love, happiness and contentment into the world.
SVADHISTHAN CHAKR (Sva, स्व: Own, Self; Adhisthan, Seat, Place, and Residence) :: The Svadhisthan Chakr lies slightly over the Mooladhar Chakr, between the coccyx and the sacrum. It represents the second stage of evolution. Kundlini Shakti used to be present in this Chakr, during the earlier cosmic eras. During Kal Yug-present cosmic era, spiritual energy has moved down to the Mooladhar Chakr i.e., unconsciousness level due to pragmatic-materialistic and egoistic behaviour of human beings.
ORANGE is the colour assigned to Svadhisthan Chakr representing fire, sun rise and blooming flowers. It symbolises purification, activity, joy, hope and self-confidence in addition to cheerfulness, faith, self-confidence and vigour. It is correlated to autumn and sunset, as well depicting with drawl of nature and inward consciousness. It may provide solutions to destiny related inquisitiveness.
Activation of previous deeds and their outcome-fruit, materialize in the Svadhisthan Chakr, with the opportunity to purify-cleanse them, providing control over various instincts-their transformation and transcend.
SUB CONSCIOUSNESS-a stage between sleeping and waking is related to Svadhisthan Chakr. Things look vague, without clear perception. Subconscious mind observes the events quietly, without intervening with the already fixed schedules and subtle track (-संस्कार, Sanskar), by virtue of destiny.
One may penetrate into subconscious or the ready made-inbuilt programming, through meditation-Yog-Dhyan and modify it. 
Kundlini is found to awake occasionally and rising to the Svadhisthan Chakr. Envy, desire, jealousy, rage, anonymity, hatred, violence, passions, arrogance, lethargic, greed blocks the energy, turning the awakening back to Mooladhar Chakr. Wisdom-enlightenment-Gyan) will help in over powering these tendencies. One would be filled with pleasure if he is able to isolate himself from fear and complexes. Ego should not come between the truth and wickedness. Svadhisthan Chakr helps in fighting ego. One has to control his emotions simultaneously. Chanting of Mantr continuously do help in concentration and control over fluctuations.
WATER is the basic component of the Svadhisthan Chakr. Frozen water is hard and rigid; which becomes fluid on heating further. The energy which was trapped in Mooladhar Chakr if frozen begins to flow on reaching higher level of the Svadhisthan Chakr. And now it becomes important to purify the thoughts-ideas-qualities-potentials diverting them, into the right direction.
CROCODILE symbolizes Svadhisthan Chakr. It's lazy and lethargic, but once it becomes active it yield enormous power and speed, making it dangerous. 
VAM constitutes the Beej Mantra of the Svadhisthan Chakr. 
BRAHMA and SARASWATI are the deities of Svadhisthan Chakr.
One should make use of ICHCCHA SHAKTI (-willpower) and KRIYA SHAKTI (vigour/drive), aided by PRERNA SHAKTI-life force, vital force DHARANA SHAKTI-power of concentration CHETNA SHAKTI-power of consciousness.
MANIPUR CHAKR (Mani:  Jewel,  Pur: Place, City) :: This constitutes the 3rd level of Kundlini Shakti. One can attain the goal of Supreme Consciousness through regular practice and guidance. Mooladhar Chakr regulates the unconscious mind while Swadhisthan Chakr regulate the sub consciousness. Energy from the Manipur Chakr cleanse the Svadhishthan and Mooladhar Chakr. 
LOCATION: Manipur Chakr lies is in the middle of the abdomen, behind the navel.
IMPACT: Clarity of vision, wisdom, self-confidence and well being are closely associated with it. It commands the Anahat Chakr as well. Feelings of love, devotion and happiness evolve in Manipur Chakr. Passions are converted to selfless love-through the light of wisdom, prejudice,  aversions are changed to respect and understanding, envy and insatiable greed are changed to good will along with healthy moderation. Self-confidence, pride and jealousy are changed to modesty and generosity, ignorance changes into clarity,  laziness converts into focused, consistent effort.
Gut-feelings generated in the Manipur Chakr may  often intuitively be correct, helping in correct decisions. But they may be distorted by strong emotions, making the decisions irrational. Judgments totally based on intellect, might lack complete and integrated vision. Manipur Chakr in association with the Agya Chakr, is important for clarity of vision; right feelings, analysis, guidance-thoroughly examined-justified by Vivek (discrimination). 
Manipur Chakr, awards awareness associated with self-confidence. Blockade of  Manipur Chakr may lead to constant fears, being closely connected to the psyche, it may affect digestive system. Fear or stressful situations may lead to abdominal pain or diarrhoea-loose motions.
TEJ (energy, fire) constitutes the Tattv (-element) of the Manipur Chakr. It controls the energies from the digestive system leading to good health and good constitution. The Fire Element manifests within the body as body heat. It provides opening for numerous astral powers and therefore its called the cosmic door.  HARA-power center bestows one with balance, stability, strength and activity. 
FIRE associated with the Manipur Chakr stands for aggression, passion, inner suffocation-choking-oppressiveness-sultriness and restlessness aided by purification and refinement. It provides relief from bad qualities and habits, doubts, weaknesses, anger, envy, blockages, tension and pain.  Fire represent Pingala Nadi and Ida Nadi represents the holy river Ganga constituting the nerve channels, which run along the right and left sides of the body. The Pingala is activated through the breath in the right nostril. Its energy is warming like the light of the sun. Ida Nadi is activated through the breath in the left nostril. The experience is like that of the soft and cool light of the moon.
Fire has the tendency to burn every thing without distinction-discrimination. The energy produces in the Manipur Chakr beyond control may reduce the energy produced in the Bindu Chakr, basically the nectar-elixir-extract of life giving force. Bindu Chakr enhances-boosts the life giving force-anti ageing-youthfulness-power to enjoy considerably.
Obstruction in the Manipur Chakr often paralyses and destroys one's energy and triggers diverse physical and psychic problems. It results in numerous problems like diabetes, skin diseases, cardio-vascular diseases, Gout, Arthritis, rheumatic diseases, migraines, allergies including disturbed digestive system.
Following Mantr are capable of keeping the Kundlini awake if recited with faith-concentration, before meals, after bathing:

Manipur Chakr possesses sacred powers. It is the Agnihotr of life, into which the Yogi sacrifices not only his food, but also his conscious breathing (Pranayam). 
FUNCTIONING: The functioning of the Manipur Chakr monitors the functioning of Pancreas. Imbalance of Pancreas may disturb Manipur Chakr.  Shift in its position leads to different disorders like headache, migraine, diarrhoea, abdominal pains, energy or anxiety.
PRAN :: Ten-petalled Lotus blossom, the petals of which represent the ten Pran (-currents and energy vibrations) are regulated by the Manipur Chakr. Pran a component of the Almighty is the all-pervading energy that fills the entire Universe-the Cosmic Mother nature, who nourishes one's soul. One is said to be alive till the PRAN is present in the body. PRAN constitute the life force, vitality. The ten Pran, are divided into five Pran-Vayu and five Up Pran. They regulate the five Karmendri (the organs of action) and the five Gyanendri (the organs of knowledge-perception). 
The five Pran Vayu are :: PRAN, APAN, UDAN, SAMAN and VYAN. Pran is responsible for inhalation, Apan for exhalation, Udan for ingestion of food, Saman for digestion and Vyan for circulation and nervous system. The five Upan Pran are: NAG, KURM, DEV DUTT, KRIKAL and DHANANJAY. Nag controls the function of burning, Kurm the movement of the eyelids, Dev Dutt yawning, Krikal sneezing and Dhananjay nourishes and strengthens the body and stabilises the function of the organs.
RAM is the the animal symbol of the Manipur Chakr. 
INVERTED TRIANGLE too symbolize of Manipur Chakr. 
LAXMI NARAYAN-BHAGWAN VISHNU and MAAN LAKSHMI, are the deities who reside in the Manipur Chakr. Laxmi is the “celestial counterpart of Maya-illusion. She symbolizes the rising spiritual energy, and Maya diverts the consciousness towards the material world. Vishnu personifies the progress, consciousness, spiritual growth and creativity. Vishnu is the protector. Just as a mother protects and nourishes her child, the Manipur Chakr safeguards and supports our life. 
Manipur Chakr has YELLOW-ORANGE color, with GREEN radiations; complimented by the red. It has the color of burning fire engulfing all impurities, while providing heat and light. 
NAAD constitute the rhythm which is the pulse beat of the Universe and is felt in the navel and perceived as a subtle sound during meditation. SO HAM-OM, also makes one experience same sound of drum beat, rhythmically.
RAM is the Beej Mantr of the Manipur Chakr. 
Manipur Chakr has the seat of sound-voice-speech. The present in the lungs rises to the larynx and manifests as sound from the lips through oscillations. One may recite Shanti Mantr or just OM SHANTI-OM. It pulsates within one as life force (-Prerna).
Activation of Manipur Chakr is associated with release of energy. Relaxation of Manipur Chakr automatically relaxes the Mooladhar and Svadhishthan Chakr. 
Harmoniously flow of energy within Manipur Chakr generates the feeling of well being smoothing-soothing the devotee-practitioner, his body, mind and psyche. 
ANAHAT CHAKR अनाहत चक्र :: अनाहत चक्र, कुण्डलिनी क्रम में मणिपुर चक्र से आगे चतुर्थ स्थान पर है। इस चक्र में 12 कमल दल हैं। यह चक्र योग तथा तंत्र दोनों में ही महत्वपूर्ण है। यह 12 दल या पंखुड़ी से बना हुआ पद्म है, जो कि 12 प्रकार के भावों  को नियंत्रित करता है। यह चक्र मणिपुर से ऊपर ह्रदय के पास स्थित है। चित्त स्थान में स्थित होने के कारण अनाहत चक्र का धर्म के रहस्यवाद में प्रमुख स्थान है। चित की स्थिरता, प्रेम, समर्पण इसी से नियंत्रित होते हैं। चित्त के एकाग्र होने पर व्यक्ति काल के किसी भी आयाम में जा सकता है और त्रिकाल दर्शी हो जाता है। ह्रदय, समर्पण तथा प्रेम का स्थान होने के कारण इस चक्र के जागरण होने पर भक्त को ईष्ट का दर्शन लाभ होता है। 
भक्ति मार्ग का अनुसरण करने वाला ईष्ट दर्शन का लाभ प्राप्त कर सकता है। ईष्ट के प्रति समर्पण, अनन्य प्रेम भाव के द्वारा अनाहत चक्र चेतन्य हो जाता है। इसकी जागृति में संगीत, गायन, भजन, कीर्तन, प्रार्थना भी प्रभावशाली हैं। 
यह चक्र  नाद से भी जुड़ा है। अनहत नाद का वह स्थान है, जहाँ से निरंतर ॐ की ध्वनि गुंजारित होकर शरीर को उर्जा प्रदान करती है। नाद को सुनना योग की उच्चावस्था है, जो नाद सिद्धि कहलाती है। इस चक्र के पूर्ण विकास के बाद साधक मणिपुर चक्र से सबंधित कारण शरीर से आगे बढ़ जाता है तथा महाकारण शरीर-हंस को प्राप्त करता है। यह चक्र पञ्च इन्द्रियों (-पंचेन्द्रियों) में स्पर्श का नियंत्रण तथा संचार करता है।

Anahat Naad:  Unlimited-continuous-infinite-uninterrupted sound.
Anahat Chakr is the 4th Chakr in Kundlini, constituting the fourth Chakr followed by Manipur Chakr. This Chakr which has 12 petals is significant to both Yog and Tantr Vidya. This lotus is made up of 12 petals which controls 12 feelings. This Chakr is situated above Manipur Chakr close to the heart. Anahat Chakr is important for the mystic, being the seat of Chitt. It provides control over stability of the Chitt and all the aspects related to heart along with feelings. With the concentration of Chitt, one can see through past present and future, becoming a TRI CALL DARSHI.
LOCATION: It is located in the region of the heart, in the center of the chest, due to this reason it is regarded as the seat of love and devotion. It represents love and dedication. Love has no boundaries-limits and depends over the depth of the relationship. Divine love is infinite. True, it helps one in realisation of self and the Almighty, side by side. Love connects the Atma-Soul (smallest unit of the Parmatma-Bhagwan-God, which can exist independently) to the Ultimate the Almighty.
Naad-the repeated-continuous sound-beats of drum, representing SO HAM-OM that's me, in the form of  subtle rhythmic melody, similar to a heartbeat, which is much softer and wonderful which keeps on pouring energy. After full development of this Chakr, One-Sadhak-practitioner move ahead to Maha Karan (-ultimate, main  reason) body from Karan Body belonging to Manipur Chakr. This Maha Karan body is also called the-HANS. This Chakr controls and maintains the sense of touch among five senses. Continuous contemplation connected with very fine conscious awareness is essential, for receiving these vibrations. These vibrations may fill one with pleasant-delightful sounds. How ever, one with impure-misleading thoughts ideas, feelings, complexes  may suffer. At this stage, one may be able to counter with the memories of the past, depending over his previous deeds, resting in the subconscious. Its good to revert back to normal situation-state if the encounter with the past is pinching. Here the healing comes through the enlightenment-knowledge, Gyan, wisdom, making use of discriminatory powers by using Agya Chakr.
Emerging feelings can be analysed and controlled by Vivek (discrimination) and Buddhi (-intelligence) with loving understanding and insight, which heal and resolve and not through harsh criticism or reproaches. Anahat Chakr allows the feelings to be extended infinity, while the Agya Chakr raise them to a higher level of consciousness.
Anhat Chakr can be opened  in the spiritual sense, by the realization of all-embracing divine love, free from the capriciousness of worldly emotions. Parmanand (bliss), experienced by the devotee has Sat (truth, reality) and Chit (-consciousness). One is able to perceive  inner reality and the beauty of the Self, in the heart, but is unable to maintain this state permanently. In these fleeting moments of bliss one is always conscious and still has not reached goal. However, one should not be disheartened as the day will certainly come when he will be permanently established in the divine Self, then he will not be frightened or hurt.
One encounter worldly attachment and dependency in the Anahat Chakr. One can  recognize whether his feelings express dependency or genuine love? Love brings joy, not sadness, love shows understanding and does not provoke arguments, love provides security and makes no demands, love grants freedom and knows no jealousy.
Self-centred affection, feelings of resentment and revenge depicts attachment, which do not disappear and binds one for several births and rebirths. Moh-Mamta (illusion) is a strong, binding force that pulls one towards desires and expectations. Mamata clings one and sucks  his spiritual power. Its companions are ASHA (hope, expectation) and TRASHNA (thirst-desire-longing). Vairagy-renunciation is a tool for detachment, which liberates one from desires, expectations, fear and sorrow.
One find a Lotus with twelve petals in the Anahat Chakr. The petals represent the five Pran and the five Up Pran (the five Gyanendri, senses and the five Karmendri-organs), together with Man & Buddhi.  Man denotes the disposition and Buddhi the intellectual capacity.
The twelve petals of the Lotus depict the twelve  qualities that one should develop in the heart center: Joy, peace, love, harmony, bliss, clarity, purity, compassion, understanding, forgiveness, patience and kindness. One must cultivate  these twelve qualities within himself.
Anahat Chakr is also known as CHINTA MANI because it bestows upon one the gift of expressing  thoughts and feelings in touching words, pictures or melodies. When one is in the Anahat Chakr his perceptions become finer and more comprehensive. Artistic talents and creative abilities, through which one is able to touch the hearts of others, are awakened . Poetry, stories, pictures and sounds that one create from the heart allow the most beautiful chords to be struck within people. Activation of Anahat Chakr  contribute in the acquisition of the knowledge of music & tantra through dedication in the Isht.
Anahat Chakr belongs to the heart aspects and complete dedication & feeling of love; one will have the glimpses of the Isht. These rediscovered treasures awaken infinite love and the desire to open and communicate with others.  This is because of love-the language of the heart and the call of God.
SHIV and SHAKTI are the divinities of the Anahat Chakr. Shiv (-the Purush) represents pure consciousness that steers us towards goodness and the Supreme Self. Kakini-Shakti (Prakriti, nature)  the Divine power which  manifests consciousness, with her three incarnations is established in the Chakr. Apart from her, Pawan Dev is also situated in this Chakr and God-Ishwar (-Nity Ishwar) is also believed to be present in this Chakr.
THYMUS GLAND is related with the Anhat Chakr. It is located between the collarbones in the center of the chest. 
BLACK ANTELOPE represents the Anahat Chakr, along with six cornered STAR & NEW MOON. 
LIGHT BLUE denotes Anahat Chakr. 
PAWAN-VAYU represents the Tattv-element of the Anahat Chakr. One may receive accomplishment like Vayu Gaman-walking through air, in the sky, on being successful in his venture.
BHAKTI-devotion-love for the Almighty forms the basis of Anhat Chakr. Love and devotion manifest as understanding, acceptance, forgiveness, compassion and helpfulness.  Harmony, love and consideration reign supreme everywhere.
Dev Rishi Narad, described the nine elements of Bhakti Yog in his Bhakti Sutr, as follows:
SAT SANG-Auspicious-virtuous-righteous Company: To cultivate and maintain contact with people who speak of God and truth.
HARI KATHA-Stories pertaining to God: To be inspired by the Holy Scriptures-epics-Shastr and the life stories of saints.
SHRADDHA-Faith: To have faith in the Holy Scriptures and the Master, and to accept and take to heart their words and teachings.
ISHVAR BHAJAN (ईश्वर भजन),  Prayers, enchants, rituals: To sing God’s praises: To sing spiritual songs (-Bhajan) which praise the glory of God.
MANTR JAAP-Repetition of Mantr 108, 1008, …times at a stretch: To inwardly repeat your Mantra at all times and under all circumstances.
SHAM DAM-Internal and External Control: To be the Master of the senses and not allow temptation to overwhelm us and to discipline thought, word and deed.
SANTON KA ADAR (आदर)  respect, honour all Holy Virtuous people :: To respect and honour all people who have dedicated their life to God, no matter to which religion they belong.
SANTOSH-contentment: To be thankful for and content with everything that God gives.
ISHVAR PRANIDHAN-devotion to God :: To love God with a pure heart without egoistic expectations, and complete surrender to the Divine.
YAM is the Mantr of the Anhat Chakr, meaning: to let go, to liberate, to give. It refers to the five ethical principles of Raj Yog: AHIMSA-non-violence, SATY-truthfulness, ASTEY-not to steal, BRAHMACHARY-pure way of life, APARIGRAH-non-accumulation.
Ajap is one of the excellent Mantr. Sing, SO HAM-OM and realise SAT-CHIT-ANAND in the heart. Through Ajap the Antah Karan (-inner self, अन्तः करण )  is completely purified.
On the day when one no longer needs to practice Ajap he will be victorious. Ajap Jap penetrates body, mind and soul.
Until the Anhat Chakr opens up it is not possible for the Agya Chakr-the center of mental energy and power of thought, to develop its full potential. Every action, every word, all feelings and thoughts should be filtered through the Anhat Chakr and be enlightened by Bhakti (devotion) and Gyan (knowledge, enlightenment, Wisdom). Gyan is unable to experience anything without Bhakti, and Bhakti is blind without Gyan. Where love-devotion and knowledge join forces there is completeness. Understanding and kindness leads us directly to God.
At the level of the Anhat Chakr one understand and forgive all. Bhagwan Krashn stresses the importance of  forgiveness. One should treat friend and foe alike and weigh regards, respect, honour and abuse,  praise and censure, joy and pain equally. Forgiving is the greatest virtue and sacrifice. 
The VISHNU GRANTHI, the source of Parmanand-bliss, is located in the Anhat Chakr. The purer the Anhat Chakr, the deeper the feelings of joy, warmth and happiness and unity with God, is experienced even more intensively. When the Vishnu Granthi within the heart opens, the desire to help other living beings arises spontaneously. With the help of the Anhat Chakr one is able to understand and resolve problems with other people easily. The greater and deeper our love for God, the stronger one's love for Nature and all of Nature’s manifestations.
The Anhat Chakr constitute the opening through which one attains Sahasrar Chakr, where knowledge of one's true Self is revealed. Divine consciousness streams from the door to the Supreme (-Brahm Randhr ) to the Anhat Chakr through the Brahm Nadi. With this the circle closes: Consciousness is filled with love and love is enlightened by consciousness.
This Chakr belongs to the Air element and 27 shiv in the form of Air and 27 Shakti for the flow of these shiv total 54 air elements are controlled with the medium of this chakr only. Beej mantra of this chakr is ‘Yam’. And in 12 petals  Kam (कँ), Kham (खँ),  Gam (गँ), Gham (घँ), Ngam (ङँ), Cham (चँ), Chh(emancipation)m (छँ), Jam (जँ), Jham (झँ), nyam (ञँ), tam (टँ)  and tham (ठँ)  beej are established. These 12 beej controls twelve different of feelings and their flow. True love is eternal and unites forever. In the Anhat Chakr one finds Divine Love and infinite bliss-PARMANAND.
VISHUDDHI CHAKR (Vish, विष:  Impurity, poison; Shuddhi शुद्धि: Purification.
Vishuddhi Chakr is very close to the Larynx.  It provides physical and spiritual purity. Vishuddhi Chakr raises our consciousness to a higher level. It is the border line between the physical and astral levels, between consciousness and super consciousness. When we rise over it, the ascent to the realm of wisdom and clarity of consciousness opens up. 
Neel Kanth Bhagwan Shiv swallowed the poison obtained from the Sagar Manthan-churning in his throat constituting the Vishuddhi Chakr turning it into a useful commodity, by using Ujjapi Pranayam and Jalandhar Bandh. Virtues, understanding, compassion, mercy, love, devotion and wisdom make a man Godly-divine, while wickedness-evil are demonic, comparable to poison.
Vishuddhi Chakr relieves us from the toxins and impurities, present within us. Udan Pran present in the throat helps one in digestion of food and maintenance of proper health, along with detoxification. It affects our psyche and consciousness. Pernicious tendencies, discord, rivalry, envy and resentment are reduced considerably through this Chakr. Our problems too are resolved.
Deep breathing-Pranayam (Prerna Shakti, Power to inspire) in the Vishuddhi Chakr eliminates the harmful thoughts, ideas, thoughts emotions, from both the consciousness and subconscious, leading to purification and harmony. 
MEDITATION provides an opportunity for self-introspection-analysis through various levels of consciousness. What one observes, is the sum total of his bad and good deeds of the past. Piousness-virtuousness-honesty-devotion and evil-wickedness exists side by side in the unconscious mind. Having come across the darker side of his past one has the opportunity to wash off the sins and make efforts to assimilate in the Almighty. This will relieve one from complexions-fears, haunting him due the past.
Vishuddhi Chakr provides an opportunity to protect oneself from mistakes, sins and to find out the cause and effect relationship pertaining to his failures and success. One must realise that he does not blame others for his drawbacks-weaknesses.
Unconscious has its seat in Mooladhar Chakr; the subconscious is placed in the Svadhishthan Chakr. The consciousness begins to rise from the Manipur Chakr and unfolds in the Anahat Chakr, so that it can express and manifest Vishuddhi Chakr.
Anhat Chakr, portraits consciousness with a Lotus blossom, floating over the surface of water. Till this Lotus lies inside the surface of water, it is not affected much, by the waves-disturbances, as it is affected by the disturbances, when it is over the surface of water. The point here is that the channelization of energy is between Mooladhar Chakr and the Anahat Chakr, which is more subconscious as compared to conscious and the oscillations-impact over thoughts is not harmful. Emotions find an opportunity to expand and grow when there is gap between the ideas-thoughts. Anahat Chakr and Vishuddhi Chakr provide sufficient opportunity for his process.
Unfolding of Anahat Chakr leads to flooding of emotions into the consciousness. Vishuddhi Chakr too acts in the same fashion, exposing the problems to the root cause and their solutions. Here one gets an opportunity to weed out the problem for ever. Let the unconscious mind be cleared with the help of enlightenment-realisation. Let the inner most be cleared of all difficulties-tensions-troubles through meditation (Manan repeatedly hitting the problem, चिन्तन, मनन, विचार)  and finding ways and means to resolve it. Though, it appears to be intricate, yet possible through practice. One should be ready to accept the reality uncovered by the Vishuddhi Chakr.
AMRAT (अमृत, निचोड़, मूल तत्व, extract, elixir-nectar of immortality), has a special significance between the Vishuddhi Chakr & Bindu Chakr. Concentration through meditation, into the Almighty leads to penetration into the mysteries providing support to health-vigour-vitality. This immortality is condensed into the Mani Pur Chakr and further distributed uniformly to Vishuddhi Chakr.
AKASH (space) related to speech constitutes the basic element of the Vishuddhi Chakr.
ASTRAL BODY: Astral body seated in the Vishuddhi Chakr leaves the physical body. Astral journeys are undertaken by the individual through dreams leading to spontaneous separation from the mortal-material.  Consciousness never separates from the astral and mortal. There are people who just detach the astral from the material and take journeys through the cosmos.
ISHT DEV-GURU is always there to help the inquisitive mind, providing unconditional support. Ganpati is the Isht Dev.
WHITE ELEPHANT a symbol of luck, wealth, power, wisdom, purity and clarity, constitute the symbol of the Vishuddhi Chakr. The elephant head Ganesh is worshipped before any auspicious deed-venture is undertaken to overcome obstacles and difficulties. 
SPEECH-VOICE-WORDS develop with the help of lungs-present in the chest, throat and the lips with the help of tongue. The seat of sound-voice-speech, lies in the Manipur Chakr. Fire is the basic element of speech through which the energy of fire, i.e., the sound manifests in space of the Vishuddhi Chakr, and is articulated as words with the help of the lips. Larynx controls words and the lips aided by the tongue, form them. As soon as there is cause in the form of emotions, there is a word reflected through the throat-in the Vishuddhi Chakr. One should make use of Yog and purification techniques for establishing perfect control over the speech. One must control the tongue-speech-words and avoid speaking that may hurt the sentiments-inner self of others. One should never insult-torture-tease others.
Subconscious may shows off in reddening of the face, itchy rash eyes, frequent colds (sore throat and hoarseness), abdominal cramp and digestive problems. Suppressed emotions may express, as outburst of rage or tears. Here patience comes into picture, which can govern the aptitude-reactions-thoughts-emotions, as a component of Pranayam-Yog.
Manipur Chakr controls the proper-appropriate utilisation of words. One should prefer to speak less-which is valuable asset. The role of Vishuddhi Chakr is important before one opt for speaking. One should make it a habit to speak pleasant-polished words even with the opponents. Silence (मौन, moun) is golden.
VAK SIDDHI (वाक सिद्धि),  is present in the Vishuddhi Chakr. With the activation of the Vishuddhi Chakr and practising of the Hath Yog (-concentration at a point), one’s words and glances become effective and persuasive. Vishuddhi Chakr has its impact over the writers, poets, journalists, teachers, politicians, actors, singers etc.
VIOLET, the colour of wisdom and spirituality is assigned to Vishuddhi Chakr.
The Lotus blossom in the Vishuddhi Chakr has 16 petals. These represent the 16 Siddhis (-supernatural powers) that a person can acquire through practicing Yog; out of the 24 Siddhis (-capable of bringing the dead to life). One is not supposed to either demonstrate or illustrates the impact of these divine powers. This number has close relation to the half cycle of Moon as well, who is the King-provider of all medicines and nourishment. The practitioner of Kundlini is not supposed to crave for these super natural powers, since they will drag him to life not Salvation.
HAM constitutes the Beej Mantr-Basic hymn-enchant. Here we start with self-realisation.
AGYA CHAKR-GURU CHAKR (Agya: Order, Command). 
LOCATION: It’s based-housed at the upper end of the spinal cord-vertebral column, at the point of transition, from the spine to the brain. Development of one's wisdom and humanity is completed here, bridging the divine consciousness. Its energy is experienced in the center of the forehead between the eyebrows, just over the nose.
Guru Tattv evolves consciousness. Bhagwan Shiv is the source of all knowledge to the humans and is the master of masters (-Guru-teacher-preacher-philosophers-scholars-learned). It moves one out of darkness-ignorance-passion-wickedness to knowledge and from death to immortality-Salvation. It’s connected to clarity, wisdom (enlightenment, knowledge-Gyan), ability to discriminate between truth and untruth, reality and illusion-mirage, development of rationality (Vivek-prudence).
Agya Chakr, anchors-controls, one's ideas-motives-thoughts, which keep on oscillating between Mooladhar, Svadhishthan, Manipur, Anahat and Vishuddhi Chakr. It helps one, in taking right decisions at the right moment, through prudence-analysis-comparison-discrimination.
Moral-ethical-spiritual-pious-virtuous-honesty-righteousness is the problem one usually experience in life, which needs wisdom to counterbalance emotions, leading to pleasure and loss of grief-pain-sorrow.
Agya Chakr masters clairvoyance, intuition, telepathy and transmission of knowledge through time-past, present and future.
SHIV LING represents consciousness led by the intellect and ego in lower Chakr, whereas when guided by Bhakti-devotion and Vivek-prudence, it moves to upper Chakr and the Soul-Atma.
Colour of Shiv Ling is black in Mooladhar Chakr, milky-white or smoky colour-cloudy dark in Agya Chakr.  
Lotus Blossom in Agya Chakr has two petals which stand for GU (-darkness-ignorance-wickedness) and RU (enlightenment, learning, awakening, knowledge). They include the Mantr HAM and KSHAM representing the Sun (masculine) and the moon (feminine) principles, Shiv (Purush-consciousness) and Shakti (Prakriti-Mother Nature). Ida and Pingala and the central Nadi-Sushmna, represents the Divine Consciousness.
Agya Chakr is the place of sangam (junction of the three holy rivers: Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati)-the Kumbh Mela for the devotee-Yogi. Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati correspond to the main Nadis: Ida, Pingala and Sushmna. The Agya Chakr, where these three strong energy currents meet in the human body, is also known as TRI KUTI (त्रिकुटि). Other terms for the Agya Chakr are TRI VENI (त्रिवेणी) and BHRAKUTI (भृकुटि, center of eyebrows over nose over the fore head) .
With the purification of the three Nadi through concentration, meditation and Pranayam, the Yogi is able to keep his consciousness in the Agya Chakr. With the merger of these three currents of energy in the Sahasrar Chakr, he attains Samadhi-the highest level of consciousness. 
ASTO MA SAT GAMAY: Lead us from unreality-Tam-darkness to reality-virtuousness-piousness-righteousness. TAMSO MA JYOTIR GAMAY: Lead us from darkness to light.
The Agya Chakr is formless, colourless and devoid of qualities. It is the destination of purity and unity, the site of Parmanand-bliss. Soul unfolds here from the illusion-Maya and moves to the Thousand-petalled Lotus-Sahasrar Chakr.
Agya Chakr has three aspects:  (1). AKASH-SPACE-SHUNY, (2). CHITT-consciousness) and (3). PARMANAND-bliss.
OM (Aअ-ब्रह्मा,  U उ-विष्णु, M म-महेश) which is the voice of the Supreme and the original sound of creation; constitutes the Mantr-holy enchant of  Agya Chakr and the Sahasrar Chakr. It represents the beginning, middle and the end of whole creation. During meditation, when one is absorbed in this Beej Mantr, he is able to perceive the omnipresent, divine sound of creation.
During meditation concentrate over the Agya Chakr with the Mantr OM or Guru Mantr and visualise a divine image-symbol. Through Bhakti-devotion and Gyan-wisdom, one will experience the ultimate. This is Para Vidya: complete knowledge; being unchanging, unlimited and eternal. Through intellect, one merely gain Apara Vidya, which is incomplete knowledge; changeable, limited and bound by time.
The awakening of the Agya Chakr is an essential and fundamental step in our development. It helps one to cope with all problems and resolve psychic problems like depression, Schizophrenia or changeable emotions. 
VAERAGY (-renunciation) is a prerequisite for the attainment of Gyan-enlightenment-true knowledge-the eternal. Vairagy is the extinction of our wishes and desires, which leads one to new deeds-Karm. Vairagy can be achieved through concentration over the Agya Chakr with harmony and balance between heart and intellect, without ignoring either of them. One's goal is to harmonise and unite both and not to suppress either of them.
MEDHA SHAKTI-BRILLIANCE मेधा शक्ति :: Inexhaustible stream of energy called MEDHA SHAKTI or brilliance (-mental power, intelligence and memory), can be released-radiated from the Sahasrar Chakr.
It is quickly exhausted by excitement, stress, hustle and bustle, sexual intercourse-masturbation, strong emotions-passions and empty chatter-useless talks, crying, shouting, brooding and worrying. Anger, hate, jealousy, unresolved conflict, feelings of revenge and resentment also weaken and destroy it.
One can strengthen it, through relaxation of body and mind, quietening our thoughts, trusting in God, inner peace, joy and contentment. All Yogic exercises exert a positive influence over the human body, mind and soul, leading to overall balancing and calming down.
Inverted postures such as Shirshasan (शीर्षासन),  Sarvang Asan (सर्वांग आसन)  Viparit Karni Mudra (Energy Regeneration Pose), Yog Mudra (Forward Bend sitting on heels) and Shashank Asan (शशांक)  are particularly beneficial. Agnisar (अग्निसार क्रिया), Kriya  Pranayam, concentration and meditation do strengthen Medha  Shakti.
The mental and spiritual power is supported by prayers, recitation of Mantr, reading of Holy Scriptures, singing Bhajans, Satsang, Pooja and Sewa-positive thoughts, speech and actions.
Medha Shakti is strengthened through MAUN (-silence) leading to perfect inner peace and helps us reach deep meditation, even Trans.
Asceticism-chastity does help in boosting brilliance.
Soak 1 to 2 unpeeled almonds overnight in a water-filled pottery bowl. Chew them till they do not turn into paste. Take milk along with it.
Brahmi is extremely useful in enhancing brilliance, in addition to preventing aging.
Peppermint leaves minced in a mortar, added with one spoonful of honey and water may also help. 
Medha Shakti is evoked as and when, one offers water to Shiv Ling, while perform Pooja.
BINDU CHAKR Bindu: Point-Dot :: Bindu Chakr is the seat of eternal youth, vitality and health, which is the mysterious and remarkable energy center of human body. It lies beneath the cowlick at the back of one's head, where the bones of the back and sides of the skull meet (-occiput and the parietal). One, who possesses two cowlicks, is blessed with exceptional vitality and creativity, associated with hyperactivity and extreme nervousness. In an inactive state, it's similar to a dot. On being awakened energy start flowing. It improves physical, psychic-mental and spirituality. It heals sentiments, controls emotions, and brings harmony and well-being. Hunger-appetite and thirst are regulated improving eating habits.
Concentration on the Bindu Chakr can also be beneficial for Depression, nervousness, anxiety, oppressive feelings within the heart; can be assuaged just by pressuring the location of Bindu Chakr providing instant-spontaneous feeling of happiness. Children may be relaxed by gently massaging the Bindu Chakr with soft circular movements for a few minutes-making them sleep. Bindu Chakr is associated with AMRAT-the nectar-elixir of immortality.
Shanti Mantr is associated with the activation of Pineal Gland-located in the brain. This gland secretes the hormone which rejuvenates body and mind. That is why it is called Amrat (अमृत elixir-nectar) of life-immortality.

ASATO MA SAD GAMAY, TAMASO MA JYOTIR GAMAY;
MRATYOR MA AMRATAM GAMAY. Om Shanti Shanti Om.
O ! GOD Lead us from unreality-fiction-falsehood-fake-illusion-mirage to reality-truth,
Lead us from darkness to light-enlightenment-prudence,
Lead us from death to immortality. 
Om Shanti Shanti Om.
NONE IS IMMORTAL. ANY ONE, WHO IS BORN, WILL VANISH ONE DAY OR THE OTHER. 
Sanjivini Booti is associated with miraculous power of reviving, which functions through the activation of the sleepy-dead nerves, and brain cells. Yogis survive over this nectar from the Bindu Chakr. This chemical drips down to the Manipur Chakr activating digestive power (जठराग्नि, Jathragni) and is lost. However some Yogic practices one can retain this nectar in the Vishuddhi Chakr-responsible for the purification and detoxification of the body, supplying it further to the body. 
Gherand Sanhita (Verses 28-30), mentions that the Sun is present in the navel and the moon is located in the head. The nectar that flows from the moon, is utilized by the sun, and the life giving force is gradually enhanced. Moon represents the Bindu Chakr and the Sun stands for the Manipur Chakr. Since the nectar from the Bindu Chakr is continuously destroyed by the fire of Manipur Chakr one's body is susceptible to illness and deterioration with aging.
Immortal Atma-soul is present in the human-mortal body. This fragile body is the center-source for the spiritual realization-Liberation (Moksh, emancipation). The Yogi make endeavoUrs to keep the body functioning as long as possible, to enable him to complete the spiritual abode-journey. 
Sages, ascetics, Rishis, Yogis, found ways and means to control the flow of elixir with the help of the Vishuddhi Chakr and the tongue. The tongue possesses subtle energy centres, each of which connects to a specific part of the body or organ. Udan Pran, one of the five main Pran (vital forces), works within the Vishuddhi Chakr and this Pran Vayu activates the muscles in the throat which controls the swallowing-engulfing the food. Udan Pran directs energy to the head, as well. Elixir-nectar firmly held in the Vishuddhi Chakr-influenced by Udan Pran, shows its effect.
Hath Yog Pradipika and Khechri Mudra helps in the working-collection of this elixir-nectar through the tongue. Tongue is rolled as far back as possible till the tongue reaches the Pharyngeal cavity. Khechri Mudra, Ujjayi Pranayam and Jalandhar Bandh (Chin Lock), Viparitkarni Mudra, helps in preventing the burning-loss of this commodity in Manipur Chakr.
MOON is the symbol of Bindu Chakr, so it’s known as Chandr Chakr, as well. The radiation transmitted by it, is identical to the ones generated by Sahasrar Chakr, appearing like the slender crescent of the new moon. With the awakening of Bindu Chakr it opens and shines brightly with a silvery sheen, like that of Full Moon. The moon is a symbol of perfection, nectar and energy. It is responsible for the growth of herbal medicines, plants, shrubs on earth. Moon is present in the locks of Bhagwan Shiv.
AMRATM is the Mantr of Bindu Chakr.
MAHA MRTUNJY MANTR
 (For longevity, good health &  overcoming illness-death.)
(1) Om Mratunjayay Maha Devay Namostute.  मृतुंज्याय महादेवाय नमोस्तुते। 
(2)        Trayabkam Yeja Mahe Sugandhim Pusti Vardhnamur;
 Urvaruk Miv Bandhnan Mretyo Mukshi Mamrtat.
  त्रयम्बकं  य़जामहे   सुगंधिम पुष्टि वर्ध्नम।
  उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनात् मृत्यो  मुक्षीय मामृतात्  
 the adored One, the three-eyed Bhagwan Shiv, you are omnipresent
May you nurture us and bless us with health
May your blessings liberate us and lead to immortality.
Let the blessings of Bhagwan Shiv fill-illuminate our consciousness. Let the nectar of immortality spread through the humans and expand through inner space (Chidakash). This Chakr brings all Chakr into harmony by utilizing the nectar. Fear, sadness, anger, resentment and other disease-producing emotions are removed by the healing-protective divine vibration of this Mantr. Let it spread fragrance, melodiousness, love, happiness and contentment into the world.
SAHASRAR CHAKR (Sahasrar: Thousand):: The Sahasrar Chakr is located over the crown of the head, beneath the Fontanel, visible in a new-born child, known as the Thousand-petaled Lotus. Brahm Randhr present here, is the escape route for the soul (-vital opening, escape route to Brahm, opening for the Pran-soul to be released by the Yogi, to assimilate in the Almighty) associated with the-enlightenment-learning (cosmic-divine-supernatural illumination comparable to the Sun in brightness).
It’s devoid of coloUr, characteristics or quality. The energy from all Nadis condenses here, like the water which comes from all rivers to the ocean.
The basic-root element, of the Sahasrar Chakr is the AADI TATTV-the AADI ANANDI or the ISHVAR TATTV; which is behind all creations-evolution. ADI stands for the phenomenon-root cause, which has no origin or beginning; which is there, which was there and which will be there. ANANDI stands for the ULTIMATE BLISS-PERMANAND, which is endless-without termination-infinite. With the assimilation of this Tattv with quality-characteristics (Gun), it becomes finite-bound-limited. Prathvi-earth, Akash-sky, Jal-water, Vayu-Pawan-Air, Agni-Tej-fire, are the cosmic manifestations of it.
The awakening of the Sahasrar Chakr leads to revelation of the Divine Splendour and attainment of Supreme Consciousness. It is the seat of Bhagwan Shiv, present in the Mooladhar Chakr as Pashupati-the Lord of the Animals, in the Mooladhar and Agya Chakr as the symbol of the Shiv Ling and the Sahasrar Chakr as Adi Anandi, Supreme Divine Consciousness and original foundation of the Universe.
At the occasion of evolution Bhagwan Vishnu evolve first, followed by  Brahma Ji and Shiv is already present there. Age of Brahma Ji is 2 Prardh, that of Bhagwan Vishnu is 4 Prardh while its 8 Prardh for Bhagwan Shiv. So, Adi Shiv is the un-created-unborn creator (Swayambhu) of the Cosmos. He represents Anand (bliss), Purush (pure consciousness) and Moksh (Liberation, assimilation in the Ultimate, Salvation). He is perfect, eternal and divine, and radiant-luminous-shinning like million Suns. No Karm-deeds ever affect Him. All impurities-evils-wickedness-sins melt and burn in his proximity. Only purity-piousness-virtuousness-righteousness, clarity, light, love and truth emanate from Him.
In practice-reality Atma and Parmatma are one and the same. Though Atma possesses divine consciousness, yet it’s limited to a specific region-the human body, until it has been liberated. But Parmatma is unlimited-infinite, impersonal, Universal, Supreme Self-all pervading. With the consciousness of the Jeevatma attaining Adi Shiv in the Sahasrar Chakr and merging with Adi Shiv, it’s illuminated and liberated from all shackles and limitations-boundaries. Ignorance is gone with the opening of the Sahasrar Chakr. One may attain this state through Kriya Yog, meditation and Guru Krapa-blessings. The soul may try to attain the Ultimate with awakening of Kundlini.
Shakti is present in Mooladhar Chakr while Shiv is located in Sahasrar Chakr. There is a gap between the two, which is considered as a dark zone representing ignorance. This gap is generally blocked by sins-evils-wickedness-ego-anger-negative characters-suffering, loneliness, sadness, bitterness, fear, doubt, etc etc. This is overcome through strong will power, continuous efforts and guidance. This gap is filled with the stream of energy, in the two main Nadi, Ida and Pingala, combining and rising through the Sushmna Nadi. Realisation of the Atma-self, takes place only when a simultaneous awakening of the Anahat Chakr and the Sahasrar Chakr occurs. Sahasrar Chakr and Anahat Chakr gets connected through the Brahm Nadi (Gyan Nadi) is established. Blockade of Anahat Chakr, obstruct the flow of Bhakti and love-devotion, in the Sahasrar Chakr as well.
With the awakening of the Anahat Chakr Atma-soul, rise from the heart and reach the level of Divine Consciousness through the Brahm Randhr. Brahm Gyan the thousand-petalled Lotus unfolds and the Ultimate Power-Param Shakti start unfolding. Jeevatma experiences the eternal, the Divine existence. It merges with the Supreme Self. Pure-ultimate consciousness is explored. Parmanand-the eternal divine bliss: SAT CHIT ANAND SWARUP ATMA is realized. Brahm Rishis reach this level of consciousness automatically, while others have to do practice to attain the bliss, which is beyond the scope of glossary-words.
Root of the Lotus represents Adi Shakti-Maa Parwati, the original-divine power, located in the Mooladhar Chakr. The Blossom in the Sahasrar Chakra is Adi Shiv: the Divine Consciousness and Supreme Self.
Atma of liberated Yogis departs through the tenth door-Brahm Randhr of the Sahasrar Chakr.
As soon as one reach the goal, he forget-difficulty-torture-pain, in reaching this point. Now there is bliss everywhere. 
Spiritual practices-Satvik Bhakti-love-devotion-Atm Chintan (-चिंतन, constantly thinking about the Parmatma), Mantra and meditation leads to automatic awakening of Kundlini.

कुण्डलिनी जागरण का अनुभव :: कुण्डलिनी वह दिव्य शक्ति है जिससे सब जीव जीवन धारण करते हैं, समस्त कार्य करते हैं और फिर परमात्मा में लीन हो जाते हैं।यह कुण्डलिनी शक्ति सर्प की तरह साढ़े तीन फेरे लेकर शरीर के सबसे नीचे के चक्र मूलाधार चक्र में स्थित होती है। जब तक यह इस प्रकार नीचे रहती है तब तक मनुष्य सांसारिक विषयों की ओर भागते रहते हैं.
परन्तु जब यह जाग्रत होती है तो उस समय ऐसा प्रतीत होता है कि कोई सर्पिलाकार तरंग है जिसका एक छोर मूलाधार चक्र पर जुडा हुआ है और दूसरा छोर रीढ़ की हड्डी के चारों तरफ घूमता हुआ ऊपर उठ रहा है। यह बड़ा ही दिव्य अनुभव होता है। यह छोर गति करता हुआ किसी भी चक्र पर रुक सकता है। जब कुण्डलिनी जाग्रत होने लगती है तो पहले मूलाधार चक्र में स्पंदन का अनुभव होने लगता है। यह स्पंदन लगभग वैसा ही होता है जैसे कोई अंग फड़कता हो। फिर वह कुण्डलिनी तेजी से ऊपर उठती है और किसी एक चक्र पर जाकर रुक जाती है। जिस चक्र पर जाकर वह रूकती है उसको व उससे नीचे के चक्रों को वह स्वच्छ कर देती है, यानि उनमें स्थित नकारात्मक उर्जा को नष्ट कर देती है। 
इस प्रकार कुण्डलिनी जाग्रत होने पर मनुष्य सांसारिक विषय भोगों से विरक्त हो जाता है और ईश्वर प्राप्ति की उसका मन लग जाता है। उसकी कार्यक्षमता कई गुना बढ जाती है। कठिन कार्य भी वह आसानी और शीघ्रता से कर सकता है। 
कुण्डलिनी जागरण के सामान्य लक्षण  :- ध्यान में ईष्ट देव का दिखाई देना या हूं हूं या गर्जना के शब्द करना, गेंद की तरह एक ही स्थान पर फुदकना, गर्दन का भाग ऊँचा उठ जाना, सर में चोटी रखने की जगह यानि सहस्रार चक्र पर चींटियाँ जैसे चलने की अनुभूति होना, कपाल ऊपर की तरफ तेजी से खिंच रहा है ऐसा लगना, मुँह का पूरा खुलना और चेहरे की मांसपेशियों का ऊपर खींचना और ऐसा लगना कि कुछ है जो ऊपर जाने की कोशिश कर रहा है। 
एक से अधिक शरीरों का अनुभव होना :- कई बार साधकों को एक से अधिक शरीरों का अनुभव होने लगता है अर्थात स्थूल शरीर से सूक्ष्म-मनोमय शरीर और कारण शरीर का निकलना। साधक घबरा जाता है और साधना छोड़ सकता है।
