It is a visualization of the fire within that is awakened by the yogi during the pre-dawn hours of the morning to enable the cold bath in sub zero temperatures.  Kundalini Sakthi when awakened, She exudes in energy and moves upward through each subtle energy centers blossoming the inner and outer realities of the energy centers we experience as in human reality. Mother Kundalini ascends with radiant showering of divine grace in transcendence and evolving transformation. Her hands of giving guide, nourish, protect and sustain the yogi. Her other hand above dissolves time, space and matter to enable the absorption of the five senses and the limitations of the body and mind as the grace of a deep meditation. Her head is supreme wisdom, set alight. It is the pure wisdom state that is one in union with the Divine. She is pure cosmic energy experienced as the joy and bliss within us. In the physical, She is the psychic heat (tumo) awakened to enable the body to go beyond extreme conditions of heat and cold; hunger and sleep. She is the awakened wisdom.   About the Artist: Each of these paintings have come alive through intense meditation.
