I wouldn't have minded these claims, even the silly psychic ones; but the author insisted on bringing in science. Sir John Woodroffe (1865–1936) – also known by his pseudonym Arthur Avalon – was a British Orientalist whose published works stimulated a far-reaching interest in Hindu philosophy and Yogic practices.

Practicing Kundalini Tantra Yoga uses specific pranayama, asana, mudra, and meditations to offer various benefits to a couple. Kundalini Tantra forms an important part of tantric texts and traditions as it gives us many techniques to stimulate and activate different aspects of our unconscious mind. So we are complicated machines, but Kundalini Tantra Yoga gives us access to this complicated machine. Tantric yoga aims to unite Shiva (masculine energy) and Shakti (feminine energy), the yin and yang within us, the conscious and the unconscious, the soul and the ego.

I appreciated the detailed illustrations and guided practices which felt like having a personal tutor guiding you through the process. In this context, Kundalini Yoga is considered the most important discovery of traditional Tantra and other Yoga Philosophies. As I lay there with my eyes closed, I could see a continuous fountain of dazzling white lights erupting within me. This union is the aim of Kundalini-yoga: a resolution of duality into unity again, a fusion with the Absolute.

the concept of Kundalini has for us only one use, that is, to describe our own experiences with the unconscious . Kundalini is thought to be an energy released within an individual using specific meditation techniques. The awakening of the Ajna chakra at the beginning of the practice brings forth a great amount of power and detachment, which allows one to withstand the power of lower chakra awakening without much trouble and shocks. scientific reasoning does not make authoritarian assertions, it's merely a way to embrace uncertainty in the face of contradictory beliefs and find coherence (often through reproducible experiments). However, the power of kundalini is for all, and everybody with enough discipline, persistence, and practice can unlock and master it.Pranayama, through deep and conscious breathing, allows for the rejuvenation of your energy centers and promotes overall health. When it reaches the brain, the Yogi is perfectly detached from the body and mind; the soul finds itself free. The result is an indescribable expansion of consciousness into spiritual realms beyond form and thought.

When Woodroffe later commented upon the reception of his work he clarified his objective, "All the world (I speak of course of those interested in such subjects) is beginning to speak of Kundalinî Shakti. Though Kundalini Tantra Yoga has gained more popularity than other traditional forms of Yoga, it is still quite misunderstood. Heavy read with a profound subject matter told in as succinct and non-dogmatic sort of way as I can imagine.I never took a kundalini yoga training or anything tantra specific, so I am coming at this from a bit of a blank slate.
