I am not too sure where to begin regarding this question, I have observed many individuals sharing their experiences of spiritual awakening on YouTube. However, I have noticed many not mentioning the serpent, or having any knowledge of the term "Kundalini" it appears that Kundalini is a specific flavor of awakening, I have since learned that there are potential differences from traditional awakening, my guess would be that traditional awakening is much more mild and easier to tolerate than Kundalini awakening. I sense that it calls for a much more dramatic transformation in the form of "Spiritual Rebirth"

Hi Sid,
In my view the specific nature of Kundalini is the energetic side; the activating of the Kundalini "life force" energy that then works with her own intelligence to give people the opportunity to work towards spiritual awakening.. ..which I see to be centrally about dis-identifying with the constructed self and becoming one with the Self/oneness/universal consciousness.
