Deep dives
Understanding the Origins of Kundalini Rising and its Misconceptions
Kundalini rising has been associated with the energies of the Divine Mother, specifically working with the snake archetype. However, the traditional approach of raising Kundalini from the root chakra may be misguided. The focus should be on the void below the root chakra, representing the infinity of the Divine Mother. Integrating snake consciousness involves both positive aspects like wisdom and speed, as well as negative traits such as territorialism and greed. Misconceptions around Kundalini may lead to enslavement by the snake consciousness, limiting spiritual growth and understanding.
The Balancing Act of Integrating Snake Energy and Its Implications
Integrating snake energy as part of Kundalini rising plays a role in reconfiguring each chakra with snake consciousness as it ascends the spinal cord. This process may rewrite the energies of the chakras with both positive and negative attributes associated with the snake archetype. While ancient practices managed the snake rising to prevent enslavement, the traditional Kundalini approach may result in being controlled by snake consciousness, hindering spiritual progression and freedom.
Parvati's Approach to Working with Divine Mother Energies and Understanding the Full Spectrum of Feminine Archetypes
Parvati's work with the Divine Mother encompassed a broad spectrum of energies beyond just the snake archetype. Her connection to the Divine Mother involved a comprehensive understanding and integration of various feminine aspects. Contrary to the limited focus on the snake in traditional Kundalini rising, Parvati's practice exemplified a holistic approach to working with the Divine Feminine, emphasizing the depth and breadth of feminine energies available for spiritual growth and evolution.
Understanding the Practice of Descending into the Void and Rising the Feminine Energy
The podcast delves into the practice advocated by Parvati, focusing on descending into the primordial void within oneself and then elevating the feminine energy through the chakras. This process aims to unite the feminine and masculine polarities to achieve true equilibrium, symbolized by filling the chalice at the crown with a spiritual elixir. Parvati worked with various aspects of the Divine Mother, emphasizing integration of multiple energies rather than solely focusing on the snake archetype.
Exploring Shakti Rising and Embracing the Full Range of Divine Mother Energies
Shakti rising, presented as a preferable practice over Kundalini rising, involves engaging with diverse aspects of the Divine Mother within oneself. By continuously working with different facets of divine feminine energies, individuals avoid elevating a single energy source to dominance, ensuring a broader range of spiritual growth. The concept stresses the importance of acknowledging and integrating various expressions of the Divine Mother without limiting oneself to a singular archetype, promoting a deeper understanding of the divine feminine energy.
In this episode, I will talk about Kundalini energy. Be prepared to go very deep into the origin of this practice. I will explain how it really works and what is wrong with this practice. You will learn how Parvati (the counterpart of Shiva) first came up with this practice and why humanity misunderstood it. In the end, I will give you a meditation that will allow you to practice Shakti rising instead of Kundalini rising.
