Query: Does anyone have information on the causes and effects of reverse kundalini, where the energy goes down and out through muladhara rather than towards the upper centers?

MiBeloved’s Response:

It may be that getting kundalini to go upwards is the reverse kundalini. Considering that kundalini formulates the embryo by hanging downward in the mother’s system, hanging down is its natural way.

In addition hormones made in the physical body go down to the genitals and accumulate there for reproduction. Gravity is pulling everything down towards the center of the earth. In that sense going down is natural and going up is not, because all the body fluids are under the compelling force of gravity.

If a human being wants to go to the divine world, to get out of the evolutionary world, he or she has to cause kundalini to do the reverse thing which is to go upwards, transcending the gravitational pull of the earth, which by the way is not just a physical reality. It is also felt in the subtle body. Consider the term earth-bound souls!

Kundalini can be blocked from going downwards by applying the anus lock (ashwini mudra), the sex lock and other special kriya techniques. But I feel that its downward passage is the natural way.

Even the human body which straightens up after birth where the spine gets more and more upright as compared to its curvature in the womb, begins to curve again in the elderly years, just as if it was going back into the womb.
