Kundalini is often referred to as the “two-headed serpent” in that there are two aspects to Kundalini. One is the spiritual Kundalini, the all-pervading cosmic energy, the cosmic prana, or Shakti energy. The whole universe is nothing but the vibration of this cosmic prana. It is this energy that condenses to create the physical form. After the creation of the form, there is a residual cosmic energy left in the body, which is classically called Shakti Kundalini. It is said to be “coiled like a serpent” below the first chakra in the subtle body near the base of the spine. It awaits in a potential energy state ready to “spring upward.” In this potential state, this Shakti Kundalini (Divine power) also supplies the vital force energy that runs all the mundane functions of the body. For clarity, I have termed this partly active Shakti Kundalini as mundane Kundalini, and the cosmic prana as spiritual Kundalini. The spiritual Kundalini continually “descends” (involution) in its pure form through the crown chakra to energize directly the pineal and pituitary glands associated with it…. It moves down the body energizing the different chakras and their associated organs, nerve plexuses, and glands. In this process it energetically interfaces with the force of the Shakti Kundalini arising from its source just below the base of the spine. In most cases, by the time the spiritual Kundalini reaches the stored energetic center of the Shakti Kundalini just below the base chakra, there is not enough combined energy to ignite the stored Shakti Kundalini. A certain amount of energy of the mundane Kundalini is always moving up the spinal cord area in its function as the prime life force energy of the body…. The awakening of the Shakti Kundalini requires that the combination of the spiritual and mundane Kundalini energies reach a combustion point that then sparks the awakening.
