Is Kundalini practice a method of tension?

Synthesized from Source practice

"Kundalini practice is a method of tension, for energy is born from the strain we create within ourselves; it is through this conscious tension that we awaken the life-force."

According to Osho, yes—kundalini practice is explicitly a method of tension. Any authentic work with energy involves tension, because energy is tension; where tension is created, energy arises. Just as atomic power comes by putting particles under strain, kundalini awakens by consciously generating inner tension—rightly understood as the very substance of energy—so the practice channels and releases that life-force.
Kundalini builds power by safely creating inner tension—like pulling back a bowstring so energy can be released.
Why this matters practically
- Reframes tension as usable energy, reducing fear of inner intensity.
- Guides you to apply conscious, focused effort to mobilize vitality.
- Explains why dynamic practices often precede stillness—charge first, then release.
