It is very simple to understand. When you were a child you loved toys, but why don't you
love them now? Because your mind has changed and consequently, your attachments
have also changed. So, with the awakening of kundalini, a metamorphosis takes place.
There is even the possibility of restructuring the entire physical body.
When kundalini awakens, the physical body actually undergoes many changes.
Generally they are positive, but if your guru is not cautious, they can be negative also.
When the shakti wakes up, the cells in the body are completely charged and a process of
rejuvenation also starts. The voice changes, the smell of the body changes and the
hormonal secretions also change. In fact, the transformation of cells in the body and brain
takes place at a much higher rate than normal. These are just a few observations.
However, scientific researchers are still taking their first steps into this field.
Why awaken kundalini?
If you want to take up the practice of kundalini yoga, the most important thing is that
you have a reason or an aim. If you want to awaken kundalini for psychic powers, then
please go ahead with your own destiny. But if you want to awaken kundalini in order to

the cosmos, and if you want to understand the truth behind the appearance, and if the
purpose of your pilgrimage is very great, then there is nothing that can come to you as an
obstacle.
By means of kundalini awakening, you are compensating with the laws of nature and
speeding up the pace of your physical, mental and spiritual evolution. Once the great
shakti awakens, man is no longer a gross physical body operating with a lower mind and
low voltage prana. Instead, every cell of his body is charged with the high voltage prana
of kundalini. And when total awakening occurs, man becomes a junior god, an
embodiment of divinity.

Kundalini Physiology
Kundalini or the serpent power does not belong to the physical body, though it is
connected to it. Nor can it be discovered in the mental body or even the astral body. Its
abode is actually in the causal body, where the concepts of time, space and object are
completely lost.
How and where is the concept of kundalini related to the supreme consciousness?
The serpent power is considered to arise from the unconscious state in mooladhara. This
unconscious awareness of man then has to pass through different phases and becomes
one with the cosmic awareness in the highest realm of existence. The supreme awareness
or Shiva is considered to be seated in sahasrara, the superconscious or transcendental
body at the crown of the head. In the Vedas, as well as the Tantras, this supreme seat is
