Question
How to meditate without raising kundalini?
—Freddie Galladande, United States
Answer
Hi Freddie,
One of the results of meditation is that the kundalini rises in the spine. The ultimate outcome of meditation is the merging of the kundalini in the spiritual eye and the offering of that energy to God. If raising kundalini is a question for you, the best way to meditate is with devotion to God in whatever form you hold sacred. If you can surrender yourself to God the outcome of your meditation will be perfect. Too much emphasis on kundalini will only confuse the issue. God loves you!
Ananda has a number of books about meditation and kundalini. The Raja Yoga book is a good resource.
Blessings,
Chidambar
