Kundalini: Overlord by Crowmanic
Kundalini is a psycho-spiritual energy, the energy of the consciousness, which is thought to reside within the sleeping body, and is aroused either through spiritual discipline or spontaneously to bring new states of consciousness, including mystical illumination. Kundalini is Sanskrit for “snake” or “serpent power”, so-called because it is believed to lie like a serpent in the root chakra at the base of the spine. In Tantra Yoga, Kundalini is an aspect of Shakti, the divine female energy and consort of Shiva.
The power of Kundalini is said to be enormous. Those having experienced it claim it to be indescribable. The phenomena associated with it varies from bizarre physical sensations and movements, pain, clairaudience, visions, brilliant lights, superlucidity, psychical powers, ecstasy, bliss, and transcendence of self. Kundalini has been described as liquid fire and liquid light.
While the awakening Kundalini may be a dramatic experience, the resultant shift in consciousness may be accompanied by years of Kundalini symptoms manifesting in physical and psychological upheaval.
The process of Kundalini awakening can vary greatly from person to person. Some have intense physical symptoms, while others experience mainly emotional or psychological symptoms. It is as if the new energy invites a spring-cleaning of the entire system … The life transforming changes which accompany a Kundalini awakening cover the entire physiological, emotional, mental and spiritual spectrum.
Many clinicians still regard phenomena associated with spiritual emergence as indicative of pathology because the signs are so easily confused with the indicators of psychosis, mania, depression, schizophrenia or borderline personality disorder. Many people undergoing spiritual emergency are misdiagnosed and treated with suppressive medication, further complicating their process/experience.

Lovely calming, yet firey image…Great explanation, very enlightening ;D x
Great work Crowmanic…great also that you put up the explanation as I believe too many people are instantly put on the pill roundabout due to lack of knowledge of the Kundalini energy and its powers :)
Great image.
Maya, an illusion … I once wrote a poem for a friend’s daughter, named Maya … they live in Adelaide as well.
Pleased you like the pic, you’re now a select member of a minority group that does.

I am keen on this subject! What I would love to see is your own personal interpretation of the image, I suspect your Kundalini was surfacing at the time you produced it and I think that in your own words the description will be much more powerful than a cut and copied version from the internet. Love and Light! C
Sorry for the lateness of this reply … seems to have slipped my radar.
Sweet Carmen, regarding your “What I would love to see is your own personal interpretation of the image… in your own words…” be assured most could never grasp nor be explained in such 2 dimensional expression. And for the now of using RB as my medium to hint, suggest educate, the “cut & paste” suffices … as for me “…in my experience such “spirtual emergence-see” as this is not something someone seeks, It happens!! and quite frankly, most times when one is most il-prepared and unexpecting! The “cost” is high, and few get through, being stuck or in permanent states of disarray, neurosis, and/or psychosis … whatever the outcome, they will/can never be the same again … there is no going back, there is no choice to make…” etc.
I can only but hint or suggest at such, and have done so, closer to the time, through writing in “poetic” form, prolific in the year or 2 “post-SE”, the Kundalini descriptive and my re-search on my experiences are relevant and much better written than anything I could objectively put together.
Thanks for your challenging comment, and interest here.
