Sushumna nadi as it is described in yogic lore corresponds to the central spinal column. It is not a physical channel. It is in the subtle body. When kundalini rises, it is preferred if it travels through this central channel and not be on one side or the other in an imbalance.

Now however I am working on a kriya where the sushumna nadi is absent. The entire neck functions as one nadi channel, so that there is no special central channel where one feels the electrical bliss energy of kundalini passing.

In this experience, the same quantity of energy passes up from the trunk of the subtle body into the head of the form but when it passes it does so with less concentration due to being spread out through the wider channel of the neck as compared to passing in a tiny passage in the central spine in the neck.

This has a bliss aspect to it just as well but it is a divergent bliss aspect which is like many tiny pixels of multi-colored bliss force. For kundalini to pass through the tiny sushumna passage, it has to be concentrated energy infused with pranic force, and then it bores its way through the tiny sushumna passage into the head. But in this practice the excess infused energy which is in the trunk of the subtle body overflows upwards through the neck and then enters the head.

Another difference is that when kundalini enters the head after boring its way through the sushumna nadi it usually fires energy to the core-self and to the brahmarandra crown chakra. This causes a black-out, a white-out or a gold-out.

Then kundalini subsides back down the spine, like a serpent retreating backwards into its hole.

When the neck itself is the channel, then when kundalini enters the head it does not target the core self or the brahmarandra. Instead it goes on either side of the head, up to ears and then from there it either retreats or it floods the entire head evenly without any focus just on brahmarandra.

This kundalini which is diffused evenly is not the same as the kundalini which uses the sushumna. It is instead just infused energy and it does not have the survival characteristic of the traditional kundalini.
