Serpent Power
Kundalini Shakti or Serpent Power (as
Sir John Woodroffe calls it) is the dormant power that is latent in every one
of us. It lies coiled like a serpent at the
base of the spine. This power is there in everyone in varying degrees of
awakening based on the lives that one leads. Leading a regulated life and constant
practice of meditation can metaphysically activate the Serpent or Supreme power
to rise up through the six psychic centers or chakras. The first Chakra is Muladhara at the base, the
second Chakra is Swadishthana at the sacral region, the Manipura
at the lumbar region, Anahata at the
dorsal region, Vishuddha at the cervical or neck region and finally the Ajna at the eyebrow region, often referred to as the third eye. It is pertinent to note that this power rising
up through the Sushumna or the spinal cord covers the five regions of the
vertebral column (coccygeal, sacrum, lumbar,
dorsal and cervical) highlighting the importance that we should give to the physical
and metaphysical care of our back. It is
pertinent to note that each of the first five chakras beginning from Muladhara are identified with the
primary elements earth, fire, water, air and space respectively.
Primary Elements and Chakras
Application
Let us now take the cue from the
logical sequence of rise of the Kundalini power. To create harmony, health and
happiness, the primary importance to be given is the center or nabhi of an area
to which relates earth. Avoid
depressions, water, fire, loads and dirt in this area. The second important energy zone is the
southeast that relates to the element fire. Check on the electrical, electronic,
cooking, heating, washing, refrigeration, air conditioners and other gadgets
and put them in this zone. The third
important energy zone is the northeast relating to the primary element
water. Check the water tanks, taps,
pools, water harvesting, etc and relocate them if needed. The fourth important energy zone is northwest
that relates to the element Air. Check
on exhaust and floor fans, washing machines, trash cans, etc and locate them
here. The fifth energy zone is southwest that relates to the element
space. Check this area and use it to
your advantage by having your furniture, wardrobes, almirahs, gym equipment,
storage, elevations, rocky gardens and deep rooted tress, heavy machines, etc. Setting right the imbalances in the order
indicated above can create harmony, health and happiness in the home or office.
Spinal Health
All the five chakras from the base to
the neck highlight the importance of the spinal column. The spine is an intricate structure of bones,
muscles, and other tissues that form the posterior part of the body’s trunk,
from the skull to the pelvis. The
centerpiece is the spinal column, which not only supports the upper body’s
weight (read southwest) but houses and protects the spinal cord — the delicate
nervous system structure that carries signals that control the body’s movements
and convey its sensations to and from the brain (read northeast). Patients of
spine related complaints like back ache, osteoporosis, sciatica, spondylitis
and spinal tumors can get considerable relief from pain by rectifying the
energy zones of southwest and northeast as earlier indicated. This apart, practice of certain yogic asanas
like bhujangasana (cobra pose), halasana (plough pose) and the simple Shavasana
(corpse pose) under the tutelage of an expert, can contribute to much relief.
Conclusion
While Vastu is basically the
balancing of the primary elements this article highlights the Kundalini concept
to only tell you that that the Vastu restoration of the balance in a certain logical
order can contribute to comfort and contentment in a home or office.
