What is the phenomenon of ascent and descent of Kundalini energy?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Kundalini's true journey is not about ascent or descent, but the profound dissolution of energy merging back into the source, like a drop returning to the ocean."
According to Osho, kundalini’s ultimate movement is neither ascent nor descent but dissolution—energy merging back into the original kunda like a drop in the ocean. ‘Ascent’ and ‘descent’ describe a practical cycling: you raise energy and repeatedly return any excess to its source to match your capacity. Sudden methods risk overload; regulated, preparatory techniques build the vessel first, then awaken and channel energy safely.
It’s not about pushing energy up or down, but letting it safely melt into its source—and if too much rises, gently send it back so your system stays steady.
Why this matters practically
- Prevents overload and psychological/physical strain by returning excess energy
- Teaches pacing: expand capacity gradually, then deepen awakening
- Encourages safe, preparatory methods over risky sudden techniques
