Chakra Course: The term Kundalini Yoga is often misunderstood by the general public because they associate it with the teaching style known as kundalini yoga which is a school that has developed its own philosophy and system that is not the traditional tantric system of yoga designed to awaken the kundalini shakti. The kundalini is actually a pranic energy that can only be activated once the main flows of energy within the body are purified and equally balanced. These flows are called Ida and Pingala and they can be simply understood as the masculine and feminine forces within the body. Although it sounds like a simple concept the process is difficult and complex. The system of chakras and the flow of prana is dependent on the purification of the mind and body which requires intense discipline and dedicated regular practice. Yoga is actually a science dedicated to awakening the divine energy which is called the kundalini shakti. All energy is created by a force that is called is known as prana. The energy then flows like streams of electricity within the mind and body. These streams are called nadis and the chakras are energy centres where the prana becomes concentrated into a powerful centre of pranic activity.  The practice of Yoga is essential in the process of awakening the divine energy. The kundalini shakti is the most powerful form of prana where the energies of mind, emotions and body are integrated into one homogenous force.
