In this episode, we tackle the ancient and powerful practice of Kundalini Yoga tracing its roots from the sacred Upanishads of the first millennium BCE to its contemporary role in Western esotericism. Discover how Kundalini, often envisioned as a dormant serpentine force at the base of the spine, has been integrated into modern spiritual practices, transforming lives through its profound psycho-spiritual benefits.
