In her groups of the 1980s, Jean occasionally referred to kundalini activation, but not in the popular manner associated with the key term. She was familiar with the Arabic word lataif (subtle centres), but very rarely used that expression (Thomas 2000:139), instead employing the more famous Sanskrit word. Her statements about kundalini were often expressed in a context of warning, referring to a premature development that produced aberrations. Such warning cannot be found in the influential Hatha Yoga texts, which are patently enthusiast, and conducive to simplified statement. Those texts are the basic source for kundalini. The first reference to a goddess Kundalini, residing at the base of the spine, is found in a text of Kaula Tantra, apparently dating to the tenth century CE, namely the Kubjikamatatantra. A practice of visualisation applied to the attendant chakra system. In the later Hatha Yoga texts, very physical extensions were added, including complex pranayama, elaborate non-seated postures (asanas), cleansing techniques, and mudras intended to manipulate subtle energy. Texts like the fifteenth century Hathapradipika inconsistently assimilated doctrines found in earlier works such as the Khecharividya. From the seventeenth century, the accretionary process led to a substantial increase in the number of postures listed in Yoga texts (Mallinson and Singleton 2017). The subject as a whole requires to be treated with caution.
