The spiritual energy is dormant within us in the form of a coiled serpent lying at the base (Mooladhara) chakra .The awakening of this Kundalini Energy lying at the  root of the spine and taking it to the highest Crown Chakra (Sahasrara Chakra) is the goal of all spiritual practices.

Through
our spiritual efforts , it uncoils and ascends through the spinal column and passes the various Chakras  and ultimately reaches to the top most crown Chakra. This power house of energy then grants the aspirant the highest level of consciousness and spiritual transcendence.
