Leave alone Kundalini until you are not experienced in so called Raja Yoga (that it is just a name given to a collection of techniques meant to teach you full concentration).
There are people that work on what they call Kundalini without this knowledge, however all they experience it is usually all another thing and you can either do more harm than good to yourself, if for some lucky/unlucky (depends on the point of view) coincidence or case something works as it should (the worst being that you cannot "descend" no more, remaining in a state similar to coma).
To learn how to raise Kundalini you must know how to actively concentrate on something till your consciousness is "merged" with it (Dhyana). When you can do this you place your consciousness (what you call yourself, your mind, whatever) on the root chakra, on the base of the spine, then you willingly arise the spinal column one vertebra at a time, till the end of the head and above. In the process you reach some "gates" that you must pass. The first two are reached by will, the other two are automatic, the fifth is again achieved with will and the last is again automatic. The seventh is not really a "gate" but something else.
This was to give you an intellectual knowledge on what to do, after.
For more information on how to start working on Raja Yoga, the best summary (being the most to the point without too much embellishment etc.) I think it's in in Liber IV (Magick in Theory and Practice) of Crowley, in part I.

The most important parts are Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi (also if you don't need Samadhi to raise Kundalini, on the contrary, you must not go there). Asana, Pranayama and Yama are just correlate and having to do with the physical counterpart of the learning process.
Thank you so much for this info..I think your post clear my some doubts regarding kundalini...I am looking for more about kundalini.
