This is a very powerful shamanic journey where you awaken the kundalini energy - the goddess energy - within you.
The very first time I met this powerful kundalini energy it took me by surprise. I was doing an inner journey on myself, working on releasing the wounded energy around a problem I had in my life, where I noticed that in certain situations, I kept giving my energy away, and this was now draining me.
As I journeyed into the mythical landscape of my soul, I was being taken down into the lower world, where I was being led deeper into the core of Mother Earth, until reached an underground cave. And in here was a huge serpent tied up. Tears were streaming down her cheeks and telepathically she was pleading with me to help free her. I realised intuitively that she was an aspect of my kundalini energy, showing me how she was being held prisoner inside this cave.
As I started to look around in this cave, I noticed that men were here, and they were abusing the serpent. They had ropes around her, and heavy chains, trying to suppress her power and life force, whilst at the same time, they were using her body as an energy source, as if they were feeding off her, taking what they wanted, draining her completely.
I could feel this power surge through me, and within me I roared: “NO MORE! STOP! GET OUT!” And I started to free this serpent. I cut the ropes around her, and loosened the chains, and as she started to be freed, she came to life. She wriggled herself loose, and for each wriggle she grew and grew and grew.
And she started to rise, and as she was rising, all those old ways of trying to hold her down and keep her suppressed just fell off her. She grew even more, becoming like a giant serpent rising from deep within this cave, up through the layers of the earth, up into the freedom of the fresh air. She continued to rise, up towards the sky, up to the sun and the moon and the stars, and she was dancing and singing, whilst she continued to expand. She became one with the universe, totally liberated.
And then she started to slowly come back down from the stars, down to the earth, where she greeted me again. She and I stood there, being present with each other. Then it was as if we became one, and I could feel her energy rise within me, in through my root chakra and into my spine, slowly rising up towards my brain, and then out through my crown to the sun, the moon and the stars, connecting me with the heavens.
I have, since that journey, been completely different. This was the first time I met the kundalini energy. Before that I thought it was just a concept, but from this experience I realised that she truly exists, as a metaphor in the mythical and energetic domain of my soul. She helped me restore my life energy, freeing me from the old ways where I had allowed myself to constantly give my energy away.
In this journey you'll first shed the past, and then you'll meet this powerful divine feminine energy so she can rise within you, connecting you with this ancient healing wisdom that is longing to be awakened within you.
This journey was recorded live during the first module of the Shamanic Energy Medicine Practitioner Training. You can read more about this training here.
