Tṛtīyopadeśaḥ (Mudrā) · Verse 55

नाडीमूले तु संयोज्य निकुञ्च्य च मुहुर्मुहुः | शक्तिचालनमेतत्तु कुण्डल्युत्थानकारकम् ||

nāḍīmūle tu saṃyojya nikuñcya ca muhur muhuḥ | śakticālanam etat tu kuṇḍalyutthānakārakam ||

Execution of Śakticālana: repeated contractions of the perineum while retaining the breath and visualizing energy ascending.

“Causer of the rising of kuṇḍalinī” is the specific function. While other practices prepare, this one directly awakens the dormant energy.

Repetition (muhur muhuḥ) is key. The awakening does not occur all at once; it requires sustained stimulation until the energy “leaps” and begins to ascend on its own.
