ASINSBALSS - Komentāri

Kundalini Yoga also centers around the imagery of the serpent. According to Mariah at The House of Light, "Chakras were first associated with a Goddess named Kundalini. She is described as a sleeping serpent coiled three and a half times around the first chakra at the base of the spine. Her name comes from the word 'kundala', meaning coiled. In Hindu beliefs, this Goddess, when awakened, climbs upward, chakra by chakra, until she reaches the crown chakra at the top of the head. As she pierces each chakra, she brings awakening to her subject. When her journey is complete, her subject is said to be fully enlightened .... Kundalini is a Sanskrit term that means "coiled up". It is 'Prana', it is 'Life Force', and we all have the ability to awaken this "snake" that lies dormant at the base of our spine." Some texts describe kundalini as two serpents coiled around the spine, much like the image of the genetic double helix, or the caduceus. The serpent to the left is called ida-nadi, the serpent to the right, pingala-nadi.
