Humans who practise kundalini yoga, also known as the yoga of awareness, are more able to tell the truth, show compassion for others, uphold moral standards, and aid in the healing of others. The Serpent Power: 1 by John George Woodroffe focuses on the history of Kundalini yoga and the core ideas that underpin it. In this book, the idealistic and mythological elements of this yoga are described, along with its puzzling structure. The terms "kunda" (a bowl) and "kundali" (a curved rope or ring) relate to the idea of a snake or serpent that is coiling. Around the base of our spine is where the centre of our holy energy is placed. We can direct this energy into doing something positive and helpful by using the seven chakras, or stages, of yoga. kundalini yoga enhances loyalty, influence and rational power. Humans can realise the full extent of their creativity through this type of yoga.In The Serpent Power: 1, John George Woodroffe aimed at making readers worldwide understand the powerful nature of this yoga and how it could benefit everyone. He illustrated the various chakras and mantras that are attached with this particular yoga. The serpent power is basically the power that is released in the process of performing this yoga. This serpent power is then used to bring out the best in us and allow us to help others willingly and passionately.
