kundalini

In Hindu thought, a flow of life energy existing within everyone. It is believed to lie coiled at the base of the spine, and by the practice of kundalini yoga can be raised from the first chakra (centre of spiritual power) step by step to the seventh chakra at the top of the skull, burning away obstacles on the spiritual path.
