A closer look
Waking up the dormant Kundalini energy coiled at the base of the spine is a logistical nightmare of spiritual traffic jams. According to Shakta Tantric traditions, the rising energy doesn't just flow freely; it has to forcefully pierce through three granthis (knots) named after Brahma, Vishnu, and Rudra. These knots represent deep-seated psychological blockages: attachment to the physical world, attachment to emotion, and attachment to ego. Failing to untie them results in agonizing energetic blowback rather than enlightenment.
