The Chakras And Kundalini Yoga Shakti / Energy:

The kundalini yoga chakras are said to have spiritual qualities associated with them and many of their opulances remain dormant until they are opened and nourished by the mysterious kundalini power. Kundalini is a word taken from the sanskrit word “kundal”, which means “coiled up”. Kundalini is envisioned as coiled up at the base of the spine and its ascent upward through the seven chakras activates their dormant powers, truths and wisdoms. The powers, truths and wisdoms located within the 7 chakras are discussed in Patanjali’s yoga sutras.
Adi Shankara described kundalini as:

“Having filled the pathway of the Nadis with the streaming shower of nectar flowing from the Lotus feet, having resumed thine own position from out of the resplendent Lunar regions and Thyself assuming the form of a serpent of three and a half coils, sleepest thou, in the hollow of Kula Kunda (Kula Kunda means the hollow of Mooladhara Sacrum bone)...Thou art residing in secrecy with Thy Lord (The spirit) in the thousand petalled Lotus, having pierced through the Earth situated in ‘Mooladhara’, the Water in Manipura, the Fire abiding in the Svadhisthana, the Air in the Heart (‘Anahata’), the Ether above (Visshuddhi) and ‘Manas’ between the eyebrows (‘Agnya’) and thus broken through the entire ‘Kula Path’.” (Saundarya-Lahari 9.10.)
