  • Most human suffering arises from the first three chakras: fear (root), attachments (sacral), and ego/identity (navel).
  • Rod Stryker frames these as the real limitations that compress Kundalini rather than a sleeping energy at the spine.

  • Stryker emphasizes working with the navel rather than obsessing over a 'sleeping' base-of-spine Kundalini.
