Is Kundalini sadhana psychic or spiritual?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Kundalini sadhana is a psychic journey, a necessary platform that prepares you for the leap into the spiritual realm, where the true essence of your being awaits."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, Kundalini sadhana is psychic—pertaining to the subtlest layers of body-mind—not spiritual in itself. Like a diving board, it is a necessary platform that can propel you toward the soul. Breath, food, and thought are material supports; rightly used, Kundalini work prepares the leap into the nonmaterial, the truly spiritual.
It’s a mind-energy practice that uses body and breath to help you reach spirit, but it isn’t spirit itself.
Why this matters practically
- Sets right expectations: treat Kundalini as preparation, not the final goal.
- Guides practice: refine body, breath, and mind to enable genuine spiritual breakthrough.
- Prevents confusion and spiritual bypassing by distinguishing means from the end.
