Kundalini (कुण्डलिनी) refers to a powerful spiritual energy coiled (“lovée” in French) at the base of the spine, described as lying in a spiral-like form. The awakening of Kundalini enables this potent energy to flow upward like a river through the chakras, the spiritual centers aligned along the spine.
In Hebrew mysticism, the term “Kundalini” (קונדליני) has a gematria value of 260. This number has special significance as it is derived from the divine name YHVH (26) multiplied by the 10 Sephirot, which represent the ten emanations or attributes through which the Infinite reveals itself.
The first word in the Bible with a gematria value of 260 is “HaNahar” (הנהר), meaning “The River.” This connection to flowing water resonates deeply with the concept of Kundalini as a river of spiritual energy, moving upward through the body’s chakras, symbolizing enlightenment and unity with the divine.
