  1. 1. The Serpent Power

    The Secrets of Tantric and Shaktic Yoga

    A detailed exposition of the yogic-tantric doctrine of kundalini — the latent serpent-power coiled at the base of the spine — that explains the system of chakras, nadis and the ascent of shakti through the suṣumnā to bring about psychological and spiritual transformation; it combines translations of classical Sanskrit source material with extensive commentary on symbolism, mantras, rituals and meditative practices, and situates those practices in metaphysical, physiological and soteriological terms for the aspirant seeking inner energetic awakening.
