Kundalini awakening symptoms in yoga

Kundalini is a dormant energy within most people. According to Hindu philosophy, it is a serpent Goddess which is sleeping at the base of our spine in highly coiled state around basal Chakra. Due to the regular performance of  yogic activities, Kundalini energy awakens and begins to rise up through the spinal cord and during its snake like movement, Chakras open one after another, therefore radiating out their energy. In yoga practice, Kundalini awakening symptoms are given high consideration and regarded as a series of transforming stages that open spiritual gates of all sorts.
