In this episode of Third Eye Roll, Justine and Scarlett dive into the mystery and mythology of Kundalini—that coiled serpent of hidden life force at the base of the spine. They unpack definitions from the Hatha Yoga Pradīpikā to modern teachings on Kundalini Awakening Process, exploring how this energy moves through the body, why purification matters, and why “gentle and sustainable” cultivation is wiser than flashy, chaotic awakenings.

Along the way, they link Kundalini to Purva Bhadrapada nakshatra and the upcoming eclipse cycle, weaving in cosmic timing, Ayurvedic seasonal cleansing, and the imagery of spiritual fire. The conversation spirals through fashion, music, and film—from Disney serpents and Joseph’s rainbow coat to Tool’s bass lines and Apocalypse Now. A mythic mic drop reframes the Sword in the Stone legend as a metaphor for Kundalini’s effortless flash of awakening, crowned by sovereign energy.

The hosts emphasize that Kundalini doesn’t make you “enlightened” or “nice”—it amplifies whatever is present. That’s why traditions across cultures—from Tibetan Buddhism to Arthurian legend—stress preparation, ethics, and safe containers. The takeaway: Kundalini is real, powerful, and not to be rushed. Instead, it’s an invitation to align with rhythm, ritual, and community as this serpent energy slowly uncoils.
