The connection between the Diaphragm Muscle and the Kundalini Energy in Tantric Yoga practice


The diaphragm muscle and Kundalini energy play significant roles in Tantric Yoga practice, intricately connected in the journey of spiritual awakening. Let's explore their relationship and how they intertwine in this transformative practice.


Diaphragm Muscle and the Kundalini Energy


 

The diaphragm muscle, a dome-shaped muscle located beneath the lungs, serves a crucial physiological function by facilitating the process of breathing. It contracts and relaxes, allowing the lungs to expand and contract, enabling us to inhale and exhale. However, its importance extends beyond the physical realm.

 

In Tantric Yoga, the diaphragm is considered a gateway for the flow of energy, particularly Kundalini energy. Kundalini is described as a dormant, coiled energy located at the base of the spine, representing our primal life force. The goal of Tantric Yoga is to awaken and raise this Kundalini energy, guiding it through the energetic channels, known as nadis, along the spine.

 

During specific practices, such as pranayama (breathing exercises) and breathwork in Tantric Yoga, conscious control of the breath uniquely engages the diaphragm. As the breath is directed and regulated, the diaphragm moves rhythmically, creating a subtle pulsation within the body. This movement acts as a catalyst for Kundalini energy, encouraging its ascent through the central energy channel, the Sushumna nadi.

 

The diaphragmatic pulsations created during specific breathwork techniques serve to awaken and stimulate the dormant Kundalini energy. As the energy begins to rise, it passes through the various chakras (energy centers) along the spine, activating and purifying them. Each chakra represents different aspects of our being, and the rising Kundalini energy helps to harmonize and balance these aspects.

 

The connection between the diaphragm muscle and Kundalini energy goes beyond the physical and energetic realms. It symbolizes the integration of breath, body, and spirit in the Tantric Yoga practice. By consciously engaging the diaphragm and directing the breath, practitioners open themselves to the transformative power of Kundalini energy. This process leads to expanded consciousness, deep spiritual insights, and a profound union of the individual self with the universal divine.

 

    However, it is crucial to proceed with caution and under the direction of a qualified instructor as the Kundalini energy begins to awaken. The powerful nature of this energy requires proper preparation, understanding, and respect for its potential effects on the practitioner's physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

 

In summary, the diaphragm muscle acts as a gateway for Kundalini energy in Tantric Yoga practice. Through conscious breath control and movement of the diaphragm, practitioners awaken and raise the dormant Kundalini energy, leading to profound spiritual growth and self-realization. This connection highlights the intricate relationship between the physical body, breath, and the subtle energy system, facilitating a journey of transformation and expanded awareness.

Trividha Nadi's - Ida, Pingala and Sushumna

  The fundamental question is, in a day, how much of your thoughts, emotion, physical activity, breath, heartbeat and everything else is conscious. - Sadhguru The Nadi's that  has always kept me captivating. It's like when i was in school, I heard about Ida, Pingala and Sushumna Nadi. But then these were mere mysteries, because Yoga was then unknown to me. Then after years of practicing, the series of asana, and keeping awareness of breath while maintaining the mahamudra, I began feeling the zilt of these Nadi's. I came across a subtle feeling that can only be felt and cant be explained. The left and right part inside my body are being distributed in genealogical form. It made me sensitive to vibration, and these vibrations were happening in these nadi's that brought change in me, a change impossible to explain with mere words.  - Tanmay Bhati  Ida, Pingla and Sushumna Nadi If we are not living in our bodies, honoring them as our temple.

Anahad Naad (An Unstruck Sound)

"Listen to the Un-struck Sounds and What Sifts Through That Music"- Rumi An unstruck sound, deep inside the matter, when closely examined through magnification, can bump your ears with the Soundless Sound of vibrations, These are the strings of the quarks, or so, The Anahad Naad, a cosmic sound, that depicts a completeness of oneself, One who can hear this Naad, is so extrasensory perceptible, that he can know the entire working of the cosmos, and attains Nirvikalpa Samadhi. -Tanmay Bhati   Anahada Naad, An Un-struck Sound -     If you started out knowing everything theoretically, then there is no magic or wonder occurring in the cosmos. Here, I've connected the String Theory with the so-called Anahad Naada, a soundless sound. Since every particle in the universe, whether it contains life or not, is vibrating constantly. Additionally, practically everything in the universe has a fundamental sound that we are unable to perceive with our usual senses. As we move closer to t

Energy and Kundalini

  Energy and Kundalini Everything around us, including the silent mimicry of trees during the rainy season, the flow of water, the beauty of a rainbow, the free flow of an artist at his highest level of precision, the dance of the peacock, and the fragrance of a flower, transpires without flow when we are in our actual conditions, unquestionably in its most natural state, this is what Kundalini means. Kundalini awakening is not a process, it is the transformation of a physical being to an energy being, more subtly.   A 2017 study published in the Journal of Transpersonal Psychology looked at the connection between spiritual experiences and Kundalini activation. The research discovered a variety of spiritual experiences, including mystical encounters, feelings of oneness with the universe, and heightened intuition, was linked to Kundalini rising. Kundalini" means "coiled serpent." At the base of the spine, robust and dormant energy is thought to reside. The chakras, or en
