What are the main differences between the paths "kundalini yoga" and "mindfulness"? Kundalini yoga seems to be associated with lot of physiological changes. Peopl talk about energy rush, visions, blasting experiences etc. On the other hand, people who follow the path of mindfulness (present moment awareness) talk about enjoying washing dishes, cutting vegetables, smelling flowers etc. The experiences, and lingo of these two paths seem so different. These are my questions: 1. Will these different paths ultimately lead to the same destination/realization? 2. Is one path quicker than the other? 3. Will there be any common experiences for these paths? Buddhist monks talk about freedom from suffering in this life. Not a lot of mysticism. But Hindu yogis mostly talk about mystic topics. Is this because Buddhist spiritual practices are limited in scope? Are they not capable of realizing the same truths that are claimed to be realized by Hindu spiritual masters?
