This is clearly a reference to the fact that the anahat chakra, while 
not the heart itself, is located in the vicinity of the heart.

This is a refence to the ajna chakra.

Ancient texts correlate specific sidhis to grades of attainment. 
This is saying that bringing the kundalini to ajna gives the power of 
levitation. This is because of the udana vayu being asociated 
traditionally with the superior chakras and also with levitation.

The word "fiery" refers to the fact that kundalini can generate 
intense heat within the body.

It is true that kundalini arousal can be dangerous and it is true 
that it is thought to be "electro-spiritual" The reference to it 
as "a creative power" is an alluiusion to the fact that all 
creativity comes from the bringing together of masculine and feminine 
principles (spirit and primordial cosmic matter, the androgynous 
polarities of the fifth principle, which are separated in the fourth 
principle, etc.)

This statement must refer to meditation, else it makes no sense.

This is a reference to the fact that kundalini is represented 
symbolically as a serpent coiled three and a half times around a 
staff. This causes the serent symbol to intersect with the staff 
(which representes the spinal column) seven times, or once for each 
of the seven chakras.


Anyone who is a Reiki II channel will see this in the symbol Choku 
Rei.
