When the masculine and feminine energies within are brought into stable balance, the central energetic channel, called the shushumna, opens, allowing the primary life force, the Kundalini, to rise to the brow, to the two-petalled chakra, sometimes referred to as the third eye.

When the Kundalini energy rises to the crown, it creates a second, more transformative union. The Kundalini is the fundamental life energy, the energy of matter, of manifested presence. It is the universal feminine principal (Shakti) within the individual. When it awakens and rises fully to the crown, it merges with the masculine heavenly principal, often identified with Shiva. When the two “unite in love,“ we are filled with the radiant light of enlightenment.
The awareness is transformed and one is alchemically awakened.

The heart fully opens. Why continue holding it shut? An immense love just pours through, unhindered. And we know a new sense of being truly alive. It is not so much the feeling that “I“ am alive; rather, it is more as if the immensity of Life is felt, and lives through you. Bliss fills the consciousness and becomes honey on the palette. We discover ourselves to be floating in an incomprehensibly wide ocean of nectar.

“She was tied to the moon by long threads of red tangled blood. She moved like a woman tied to the moon… it enveloped her and it opened her to an absolute night without dawn.”
