kundalini yoga (Shakti Yoga, tantra yoga)
A purported means of activating kundalini (also called ahamkara and kundalini shakti). This, allegedly, is a "dormant infinite force," "potential cosmic power," or "spiritual power" that, in most people, is asleep, without self-awareness, in a chakra at the coccyx. The Sanskrit word "kundal" means "coiled up." Supposedly, when kundalini is awake, it enriches human lives emotionally, intellectually, physically, and spiritually. Moreover, its arousal purportedly contributes to the cure of many intractable diseases. Kundalini yoga includes bhuta shuddhi.
