Kundalni the Power within can be awakened through specific pranayamas and asanas. There are also specific mantras and strotras that help in awakening kundalni.
Kundalni also automatically awakens in meditation and during japa. All this depends upon the level of purity reached by the sadhak. Awakening of this power prematurely through Hatha Yogic practices or though other means is not recomended, it can do more harm than good. It is like leaving 440 volts into a wire designed for 230 volts. When one reads the scriptures regarding specific awakening of kundalni one may be inclined to start practices to awaken this dormant power, because a immature spiritual mind wants power and wants to use for his personal benefit. All practices performed by reading books etc without guidance from a competent Guru can be diastrous. It is recomended that all such practices are learnt directly from ones guru and are to kept a secret. It is not important to awaken the Kundalni before one has achieved adequate purity of mind and control over the sences.
