What is the Kundalini Serpent? The Major Misunderstandings Demystified

From The Uplifted Yoga Podcast Brett Larkin

Let's talk SNAKES! 🐍 And join me for the upcoming Kali Yoga Challenge. You may know that Kundalini has been historically represented through the symbol of the serpent, but why? Why a snake? As most ancient yogic translations, it all starts with Sanskrit. The translation of "Kundalini Shakti" from Sanskrit to English is "Serpent Power".

This coincides with the movement of energy released within your body from the base of the spine up through the crown. This Kundalini energy is said to be like a snake, coiled at the base of the spine waiting to be released to your highest power. Symbolically this energy also moves like a serpent and is awakened by specific meditation and consciousness techniques.

In this episode, I nerd-out on all things Kundalini. The iconography of the snake, cross-cultural significance of the serpent, and why this knowledge is essential to unlocking the full potential of your personal practice.
