“The coiled serpent
As well as being the creative power of the divine, Shakti represents the feminine elements within the self. Hindus believe that our sexual energy and life force (kundalini) resides as a coiled serpent or sleeping goddess at the base of the spine. Awareness and development of this force through yoga can be a form of spiritual release. Sometimes practiced physically, more often through meditation, these Tantric rituals are used to enhance the union between a person's male and female elements.”

“Unlike in monotheistic religions, in which the prospect of life beyond death is a promise to be welcomed, in Hinduism the aim is to be released from the suffering that inevitably arises from living and dying in one life after another.”
