| '''Kundalini''' ({{Sanskrit|f., कुण्डलिनी}} ''kuṇḍalinī'', from ''kundala'' "coiled, wound") also '''Kundalini snake''', '''serpent power''' or '''Shakti''' (a manifestation of the goddess [[w:Devi|Devi]]) and occasionally '''Ishvari''' ({{Sanskrit|ईश्वरी}} ''īśvarī'' "mistress"), is, according to [[Tantra|Tantric]] teachings, the divine force in its individual incarnation in [[man]], the dormant [[life force]] or [[prana]] in its potential, dormant form, the energy and essence of life alike, and is closely related to the (maternal) reproductive forces. It is the force in the human being that is closest to [[matter]] (derived from {{Latin|mater]] "mother"), and forms the bridge between the [[physical]] and [[astral]] substance. At the same time, it is the inwardly excited [[astral light]] that illuminates the outer [[soul world]] and makes it visible to the [[clairvoyant gaze]].
