KUNDALINI

From the bottom up;

Through the physical differences

That both separate us

And allow us to join;

And through that which marks

Where once we were joined with our Mother,

From which separation we find our anger;

And through that which beats

At intervals that parallel the cycles of the Universe,

And so makes us one;

Then through that which speaks,

And so, through renouncement, articulates

That which is known;

Unto that which beholds the image of God,

Or that which cannot be known:

Whereby this coiled up energy

Emerges through contemplation

Of all that we embrace, and

All that we release.

In explanation of Kundalini Yoga, from Thou Art That by Joseph Campbell, pp 98:

‘The word Kundalini means “the coiled up one,” and it refers to the spiritual energy

which is coiled up on itself in most of us most of the time…. [1]’
