 This energy is said to travel along the ida (left), pingala (right) and central, or sushumna nadi - the main channels of pranic energy in the body.A recent article has suggested that the process may be mediated by vagus nerve.Kundalini energy is technically explained as being sparked during yogic breathing when prana and apana blends at the 3rd chakra (navel center) at which point it initially drops down to the 1st and 2nd chakras before traveling up to the spine to the higher centers of the brain to activate the "golden cord" - the connection between the pituitary and pineal glands - and penetrate the 7 chakras.
