Kundalini Rising - Chid Kudalini

When one thought ends and the second thought begins there is a
sandhikal, the junction, the threshold. You have to become aware of that Gap. You
can use the word gap for that sandhi. As you go on practicing Ajapa Gayatri, your
breath becomes slower and slower and at one moment it will stop. You keep watching
your thoughts, at one moment your thoughts will also stop, then you have only GAP
throughout. When you become steady in the gap, suddenly the Kundalini Shakti gets
into the Muladhara, you keep watching , it straight moves to third eye, you may just
breath out and it moves to Sahasrara and opens your Brahmarandra and you start
experiencing the Jagadananda, universal bliss. This experience is called as Chid
Kundalini. This can be perfect description of enlightenment experience because when
you get into the Jagadananda, the dissolution of ‘I’ is complete in this process. The
mind gets dropped. You are steady in the no-mind state. But in this state, the nomind
state, there is no void.
There is a huge confusion going on with meditators. If you do Buddhist meditation you
get into Shunyata. Shunyata is the state of non thinking. In English we can call it as
Void. But in the state of Void you cannot experience Jagadananda, universal bliss. In
the Void there is no bliss, it is just a void. This is where Kashmir Shaivism Practices
are far more superior. Here enthusiastically you are refreshing your awareness every
nanosecond and capturing your turning points. In the same way, you go on increasing
your awareness; you go on refreshing your awareness every nanosecond and capture
the Gap. Even when you become steady in the Gap, you go on refreshing your
awareness every nanosecond. There is no thought but refreshing of awareness is
there, in that refreshing of awareness you will stumble upon, at one point, where the
awareness becomes aware of itself. There is absolutely no thought but awareness
becomes aware of itself and there is a great vibrancy. That vibrancy brings about
ecstasy. It is the effervescent silence not the dead void, that is the experience of
Chid Kundalini.
These experiences happen only to those Yogis who are not having any attachment
with the material world, they have already transcended materiality. Most of the
grihasthis that I have seen so far, the record shows they get into the aspect of Chid
Kundalini

Wonderful Description of Kundalini

from: kundalinicare.com
“Kundalini” is a Sanskrit word meaning “coiled.” It is used to modify the noun “Shakti,” which means the spiritual power dwelling within every human being. Kundalini Shakti is the divine omnipotence surrounding the spark of Pure Consciousness at the core of our innermost selves. It is the subtlest manifestation of the One, the Ultimate Source, from which it is inseparable. This power aspect of Pure Consciousness has also been called Power Consciousness, the Divine Within, Holy Spirit, Divine Light, Inner Teacher, or Divine Mother and is known by many other titles, including the names of God in various spiritual traditions. All human beings, regardless of era, religion, or culture, are vessels of this Divine power within. Realization of this inner sacred presence enables us to develop to spiritual union, fulfillment, enlightenment, liberation, at-one-ment. This is the purpose of the spiritual endeavor, regardless of the terms used to describe it or the methods used to reach it. This inner Divine Guide is the very source of our manifest existence, and its constant striving is for our union with our true Self, the One.

Kundalini Shakti is sheathed by her manifestation, the subtle body, which is our energy, mind, and discernment.

"Adi Shakti is the Mother Energy of the Universe. Adi means first and Shakti means Energy. Shakti is represented as a woman for it is from woman that we are born and it is from this Energy that the Universe is born. She has eight arms, four to bless, and four to take care of us. The Chakra is symbolic of the flow of energy, the conch shell is the infinite sound current, the lotus is sweetness, and the palm is peace. The trident is the trinity of the Creator (Generator, Organizer and Destroyer), the bow and arrow is one pointedness, the sword is Truth, and the hammer is discipline. The Maha Shakti mantra praises these 8 qualities of the great Shakti:
Gobinday, Mukanday, Udaray, Aparay Har-ing, Kar-ing, Nirnamai, Akamai
Beads of Truth Jan 1972, p 20"
