Definition:

Kundalini is the seed of life energy which resides within the spine or base chakra of the human body. It lies dormant until activated through a spiritual awakening or through the practice of yoga or other chi-charging exercises. The kundalini is symbolized as a coiled serpent or ring of fire.
