Are you trying to begin a yoga regimen? When looking for a yoga style, you should first decide what you wish to accomplish from the class. The best thing to do is sample classes of few different styles and begin your routine with the teacher you like the best. The teacher is more important than the style. The important thing is to get started.
Yoga exercises, which were traditionally used to purify the body in preparation for awakening the kundalini, can also be used simply to improve the health. The concept of kundalini can also be examined from a strictly psychological perspective. From this perspective kundalini can be thought of as a rich source of psychic or libidinous energy in our unconscious.
Studies have shown that certain Hatha Yoga practices can help some patients control their high blood pressure. In general, Hatha Yoga promotes health, a sense of calm and relaxation. In addition, it teaches you to be aware of your body and to listen to the signals it sends — all of which can be very useful.
If all this seems confusing – don’t worry; you’re in good company. My conclusion is that these are all different yoga terminologies for dealing with a common set of experiences. Any one of these viewpoints is adequate for describing the full range of experiences. What is probably more relevant is to distinguish two different experiences, which are often confused.
In one, an individual experiences some pleasant energizing electric energy running along the spine. This experience itself brings about a wide range of experiences and results in vitality and sensitivity. The other you will find that from the moment that kundalini enters the sushumna there will no longer be a distinction between the subjective consciousness which experiences and the object of experience. This experience much more profoundly transfigures consciousness.
