Two traditions, one name
Two quite different systems are taught under the same word. Here is how they differ.
[PLACEHOLDER] The word kundalini attaches to at least two distinct bodies of practice, and people arrive expecting one and finding the other.
[PLACEHOLDER] One is the system taught internationally since the late 1960s, with its own certification structure, repertoire and vocabulary. The other is the material found in the classical hatha and tantric texts, and in the Kashmir Shaiva sources.
[PLACEHOLDER] This is not a claim that one is better. It is a claim that they are different, and that knowing which one you are signing up for is reasonable. Continue drafting.
