Yes, and as you know since you have already  
mentioned it,  
there is something called Prana-Kundalini. 
This is K expressed through the prana. 
But there is also something which has been 
observed and given the name of  
Para-Kundalini and Shakti-Kundalini 
which is working in higher levels like you 
describe it and comes tip toeing along 
when you least expect it.
 
The different traditions have different names 
for it.

Yadda, yadda, 
"Kundalini is liberation for the wise and  
bondage for the fool".
 
Ever read Ramana Maharshi ?
 
I may be a fool, but I'm not quite so foolish as to get 
myself completely attached to 
detachment.

You're welcome.  :)
 
Spiritual practice may have as many forms and 
expressions as Kundalini herself 
and have nothing to do with "breathing" ham sa and 
touting one's guru.
 
Spiritual practice that may not be so "practice" 
after all: 
Unceasing observation of consciousness itself. 
Total surrender to god. 
Total surrender to the ideal of ahimsa 
Unceasing service to all, also known as Karma Yoga and 
advocated strongly, by amongst others, 
Babaji.
 
You don't always need to be a truck driver to get somewhere, you know.
