WHAT IS SHAKTI ?
Kundalini Shakti is the energy of pure life force, and, in yogic tradition, it is said to be awakened through spiritual practices such as meditation, pranayama (breathing exercises), mantra repetition, and yoga (and of course dance & song!!) Shakti means power, energy, or force ~ a powerful yet primal cosmic energy that gives rise to existence. Mythologically, Shakti is always described as feminine, often personified as the goddess, Devi, the divine feminine consort of the divine masculine god Shiva. But at the deepest level, Shakti transcends gender. Signs & symptoms of Shakti Awakening ::: Cathartic release, chakra activation & balancing, full body ecstatic bliss, tingles, feelings of being at one with everything, a zen-like state of consciousness, downloads, transcendent, mystical visions & spiritual awakening.
