Are you tired of your yoga and meditation routine, and looking to switch things up? Look no further than Kundalini meditation. Kundalini meditation is one of the oldest forms of yoga and the premise is that everyone has powerful coiled energy at the base of their spine. With breathwork and meditation, you can uncoil the energy, which reduces stress and helps you reach your full potential. So, how does it differ from traditional meditation and what are the benefits of it?

Differences Between Kundalini Meditation and Traditional Meditation

Kundalini meditation is more active than traditional mediation and the emphasis is on alignment and breath. When practicing it, you breathe in for several counts, hold yoga poses, say affirmations and mantras, and play with the location of your gaze. The goal is to strengthen and unblock all systems of the body and open the practitioner up to their creativity.

Benefits of Kundalini Meditation

This meditation can aid emotions ranging from stress and fatigue to happiness and sadness. The focus can be to heal past traumas, combat stress, or boost energy. In addition to mental health benefits, the physical health benefits include core strength, increased flexibility, expanded lung capacity, and stress release.
