Gemstone Totem Animal Journeys
from Jean Whatley

Awaken the kundalini fire. Remember how it felt when you danced with me. (I danced with a friends boa). The sensuous feel of my body on yours. Dance with me and I will help you to awaken the kundalini life force (located at the base of the spine) rattlesnake says - the rattles in my tail are used in the same manner as rattles in ceremony, to purify and cleanse. I purify the earth as I glide along. I am good medicine. Cobra says- come full circle. I sway back and forth and side to side. Put this move together and you have a circle. You sometimes see me dancing to a hypnotic flute. You can do this also to awaken the kundalini serpent. "group" snake energy says- remember when you saw me lying on the ground (this happened to me several years ago), my tail in my mouth, a full circle, my physical body dead. But this is a symbol of eternal life. You do not have to physically die to experience rebirth. I can eat disease and transmute it, so that you can shed your skin and begin life anew. I am a sacred and powerful being. Treat me with respect. Journey with me. I will be your guardian.
