I started reading this fantastic book Kundalini: Divine Energy, Divine Life by Cyndi Dale about a month ago.

I have been practicing Kundalini Yoga for eight years. Yet I never really quite understood exactly what Kundalini was until after reading this book.
Here is how Cyndi breaks down the word Kundalini into it's sanskrit roots:
kundalin= coiled, spiraled (from the work kundalam, which means "ring" or "coil")
kun= earth
di= can mean "little pot of earth" or "a single cell" and its alternative root:
da= to give or "the bestower"
lini= perpetual consciousness expressing in alpha and omega, or beginning and end
Cyndi gives this great definition of the Kundalini Energy...

Very interesting! I didn't really even know there were different types of yoga until you told me!
