"First of all, a red-hot energy is released from the mūlādhāra chakra in the coccyx and travels up along the backbone, entering the sahasrāra chakra at the top of the head. After that, kundalinī travels up through the sushumna channel, which connects the perineum with the sahasrāra chakra. Then kundalinī passes through the sādhisthāna chakra (genitals) to the manipūra chakra (navel), on to the anāhata chakra (chest) and then through the vishuddha chakra (throat), and a spiritual awakening occurs."
