In time, as of my experience (naughty! naughty! All experiences being manifestations!), all chakras are not only aligned but also entwined as a rod of living energy within form in permanence. Then there is no need of any kundalini movement since there is no here or there or coming or going.
We are the dormant or slowly awakening consciousness and we are also the formless oneness awareness. It is a pulse. One becoming two. Two fusing as one. A dance.

The two truly merged you would be the source of all that is. All that is, is the energy that is ever expanding and contracting and at the same time a perfect stillness.

The Heart of Siva
The Heart, says Abhinavagupta, is the very Self of Siva, of Bhairava,
and of the Devi, the Goddess who is inseparable from Siva. Indeed,
the Heart is the site of their union (yamala), of their embrace (samghatta).
This abode is pure consciousness (caitanya) as well as unlimited bliss
(ananda). As consciousness the Heart is the unbounded, infinite light
(prakasa) as well as the freedom (svatantrya) and spontaneity (vimarsa)
of that light to appear in a multitude and variety of forms. The Heart,
says Abhinavagupta, is the sacred fire-pit of Bhairava.1
The Heart is the Ultimate (anuttara) which is both utterly transcendent
to (visvottirna) and yet totally immanent in (visvamaya) all created things.
It is the ultimate essence (sara). Thus, the Heart embodies the paradoxical
nature of Siva and is therefore a place of astonishment (camatkara), sheer
wonder (vismaya), and ineffable mystery. The Heart is the fullness and
unboundedness of Siva (purnatva), the plenum of being that overflows
continuously into manifestation. At the same time, it is also an inconceivable
emptiness (sunyatisunya).2 The Heart is the unbounded and
universal Self (purnahanta).
The Heart of Siva is not a static or inert absolute, however. In fact,
the non-dual Kashmir Shaiva tradition considers it to be in a state of
perpetual movement, a state of vibration (spanda)3 in which it is continuously
contracting and expanding (samkoca-vikasa), opening and closing
(unmesa-nimesa), trembling (ullasita), quivering (sphurita), throbbing,
waving, and sparkling (ucchalata). The intensity and speed of this move
ment is such that paradoxically it is simultaneously a perfect dynamic
stillness.4
The tradition states that the Heart is the enormous ocean (ambunidhi),
the ocean of light, the ocean of consciousness. The waters of consciousness
that in man are broken by countless polarizing and divisive waves (urmi)
may be easily brought to a state of dynamic stillness by the process of
immersion or absorption (samdvesa) in the Heart.
