Within this philosophy, Kundalini awakening acts as a portal to the unity of existence, offering insight into the individual’s place within the broader cosmos. Often visualized as a dormant serpent at the base of the spine, Kundalini energy ascends through the chakras, symbolizing the rise of consciousness from foundational (lower) to transcendent (higher) energy centers. This journey is not purely physical but deeply metaphysical, representing an inner ascent toward spiritual unity.
