The Sacred Serpent Awakens: A Universal Spiritual Force
Imagine waking up to find your body shaking uncontrollably, electricity coursing through your spine, your mind flooded with brilliant light, and overwhelming emotions surging without warning. This isn't a nightmare-it's Kundalini awakening, a profound spiritual transformation increasingly common in the West. Kundalini, often depicted as a coiled serpent at the base of the spine, represents an evolutionary force that carries consciousness beyond ordinary boundaries. This dormant energy, when awakened, moves through body and psyche with apparent intentionality, potentially transforming a person at the cellular level. According to ancient Indian scriptures, it connects individuals with sat-chit-ananda-existence, cosmic intelligence, and ecstatic bliss. Evidence of this transformative energy exists across numerous cultures-Assyrian, Egyptian, Celtic, Greek, Taoist, Tibetan, Judaic, and indigenous traditions. The serpent symbolism appears consistently: the caduceus of Hermes, the Uraeus of Egyptian pharaohs, and the Norse World Serpent all point to this universal concept. Christian mystics like Hildegard of Bingen and Teresa of Avila described experiences remarkably similar to Kundalini phenomena, showing this is not limited to Eastern traditions. Those experiencing Kundalini often see internal images representing energy movement in their bodies-maps showing upward movement through the spine, awakening chakras, colored lights, and sometimes energy extending beyond the physical body into astral dimensions. According to Vedic scriptures, Kundalini represents the fundamental power of creation-a universal cosmic energy manifesting from all-pervasive Brahman.
