In most people who have not had it awaken, it lay dormant within the lowest chakra as a latent but potential force, coiled up like a spring or a snake that's ready to strike.

Once the release mechanism has been activated, Kundalini Shakti uncoils and strikes upward, through the spinal nerve(s) and comes to rest in either the Heart Chakra or the Crown and beyond, fully activating all Chakras in her path (including the second one).

You could call her an 'ascending mistress'. lol

I call it 'her' because the 'ini' part on the end of Kundalini means it is a feminine/female energy and takes form as a goddess in Hindu mythology as either Kundalini or Dakini.

Once the energy reaches the highest Chakra called Sahasrara Chakra and unites with her male counterpart there, called Shiva, the person experiences absolute and infinite bliss that is beyond words, but leads to a state of liberation from the bonds of existence, called Moksha, Nirvana or Samadhi.

i enjoy reading your posts it helps me understand more of the background and terminology. im a mismatch of different things that come to me. i seem guided by backgrounds of jews, native americans, pagan, and hindu. but my gift is mostly in feeling and i find shakti and shiva the easiest way of expressing that experience. so your posts help me. thanks!

Thank you so much for that.

I am guided by the backgrounds of Hinduism and Buddhism and the mystical syncretism of both, however I know things that are unknown to most mainstream followers of both religions so I am happy when I get the opportunity to expound the Tantric teachings of Agama Sanatana Dharma.
