How is intense breathing and the question 'Who am I?' related to the awakening of the Kundalini and its penetration into the chakras?

"Breath is the bridge between body and soul; when combined with the question 'Who am I?', it ignites the kundalini and directs its ascent toward the divine."
According to Osho, breath is the bridge between body and soul; intense, fast breathing ‘hammers’ the kundalini at their junction, awakening it and driving it upward through the chakras toward samadhi. Self-inquiry—asking ‘Who am I?’—orients the energy to the soul, preventing its descent into sex. Used together—pranayama to ignite and ‘Who am I?’ to aim—the ascending current penetrates the centers; slow breathing diffuses passions.
Breathe strongly to wake your inner power, and keep asking ‘Who am I?’ to guide it upward like a light, while slow breathing calms cravings.
Why this matters practically
- Activate meditation: use intense conscious breathing to awaken energy.
- Direct it upward: use ‘Who am I?’ to channel energy through chakras, not into lust or anger.
- Regulate states: slow, relaxed breathing dissolves agitation on the spot.
