Kundalini yoga symbolizes the awakening of human awareness. The term kundalini refers to a potential power that is latent and resides at the base of the spinal column in humans.Nonetheless, the most popular representation of kundalini is that of a sleeping, three-and-a-half-spiral snake. Even though there isn’t a snake in any chakra, the serpent has long been associated with consciousness.If you have ever seen any representations of Lord Shiva, you would have noted that his arms, neck, and waist are girded with serpents. Lord Vishnu also rests upon a big coiled snake. This snake power represents man’s unconscious.
