Actually, through spiritual practice, and meditaition you'll awaken it on your own. It just takes a couple years of extreme meditation

Aunt Clair warned about risks with spine impairments and raising Kundalini:

Please take note that she and Robert awakened Kundalini even in spite of spine problems.

Take good care,

Oh, and apropos scoliosis - since a nice coworker has it, I have remembered the word and stumbled over it on my favorite Qigong site:

http://www.energyarts.com/cms/index.php?id=58

This is an advanced Qigong course. For comparison: I have been doing Core Qigong programs from this author/teacher for over a year and was barely qualified to take part in the also advanced "Gods Playing in the Clouds" course.

The material is very good, presented very well, certification standards for teachers are high, and Bruce Frantzis is a spine specialist himself:

http://www.energyarts.com/cms/index.php?id=41 (under "Healing his Spine")

I therefore think this might be a good way to go for scoliosis treatment.

Take good care,
Oliver

In an unscientific view, my hubby had scoliosis as a child, and years of surfing straightened up his spine. The last time he was checked out the doctors were amazed. He still has a curve, but it's nothing compared to how it was as a child.

I am no expert but I really doubt it. Even though chakra alignment and sushumma alignment are connected to the physical, I don't believe they are subordinated to the physical. I would say that practicing energy flow work could help in keeping the physical back healthy, but I'm not sure how space-dependent one is from the other (I'm not sure if I wrote this clearly enough.)

Nonsense. If that would be true, the normal flow of energy will be blocked every instant by a not well aligned spine, and the subject would be unable to function normally.

I have a slight scoliosis and my doctor told me that everyone has a percentage bend, I mean, a 5%, 30% or x% of spine curve. So, if you're body is healthy and you can function normally, a curve is not to impede your kundalini to flare.

So, I guess what I was asking was, could scoliosis cause the energy to incorrectly flow up the spine?

IMHO it is the other way around.

Also, what are some of the best links that explain how to do the correct kundalini meditations?

On scoliosis:
It can be completely cured.
You just have to find a physical therapeutist who will teach you how to strenghten the right muscles and stretch the opposite ones and over time your spine will heal.

Believe me - I started bodybuilding/powerlifting in 1995, so I have a lot of experience in keeping my spine healthy for those ultra heavy deadlifts and squats.
