Kundalini Yoga was brought to the West in 1969 by Yogi Bhajan, it has the power to produce results 16 times faster than ordinary yoga.
Kundalini yoga is a physical as well as meditative discipline.
Kundalini yoga is comprised of a set of simple techniques that uses the mind, senses and body to create a communication between mind and body.
This yoga discipline focuses on psycho spiritual development and the body's aptitude for maturation, giving special consideration to the role of the spine and the endocrine system in the understanding of yogic awakening (Sovatsky, 1998).
Kundalini Yoga focuses on psychic centers or chakras in the body in order to generate a spiritual power, which is known as kundalini energy.
Kundalini is the potential form of prana or life force, lying inactive in our bodies. It is conceptualized as a coiled up serpent (literally, 'kundalini' in Sanskrit is 'That which is coiled.' (Sanskrit kund, "to burn"; kunda, "to coil or to spiral") but a few maintain that it should be translated 'lock of hair of the Beloved') lying at the base of our spine, which can spring into consciousness when activated by spiritual disciplines.
It is the power of the Divine as embodied in the Mother. Kundalini yoga is a form of yoga that requires a lot of thought and you should ensure that you practice it under the tutelage of a teacher; otherwise it could be problematic.
Concentrate On the Heart Center
According to the learned teachers of Kundalini yoga, you need to concentrate on the heart center so that you can enjoy the beauty and strength of being one, and experience pure joy. In the heart center lays significant purity which can be harnessed in order to illume the lower and other centers. It means having to concentrate your entire being on one center of energy and to also invoke the main deity of that center.
If you want to experience the rich benefits of Kundalini yoga you need to get complete control over your thoughts and you must focus on a single point and place all your concentration on your spiritual practice. You won’t have the opportunity of taking short cuts and thus you need to develop a discipline of the spirit as well as properly master how to concentrate the self.
The practice of Kundalini yoga will help in developing intuitive powers which may either be put to a positive or negative use, and it is often prone to being misused. It is not uncommon for a person to use the immense powers of Kundalini yoga to bolster the ego instead of putting it to proper use. You must also be completely sincere in your practice of Kundalini yoga and there should be no deviation from the proper path. It is purity as well as love that you should seek out and more particularly Divine Love pertaining to the Mother. There is no place for experiencing worldly pleasures and one must give ones all to the practice of Kundalini yoga.
The practice of kundalini yoga consists of bodily postures, expressive movements and utterances, breathing patterns, and degrees of concentration. None of these postures and movements should, according to scholars of Yoga be considered mere stretching exercises or gymnastic exercises.
Although it is quite physical, its main benefit is derived from the inner experience. Kundalini Yoga is called "the Yoga of Awareness" because it awakens the "kundalini" which is the unlimited potential that already exists within every human being
There are other paths as well to benefit from yoga that are not so difficult as Kundalini yoga as it is not the only path to follow. It is nonetheless, striving for unity through the path of bringing alive the psychic forces, and thus Kundalini yoga is also thought of as being the be all and end all of all forms of yoga. Even though, from a passing glimpse of it, you may think that it is the same as Hatha yoga; there is however additional importance laid on mantras and meditation as it is really quite distinctive.
