While Kuṇḍalinī is characterized as being coiled, crooked, or curled, when the awakening process has begun in earnest or is near complete, she straightens out and moves up the central channel (suṣumnā nādī) of the human form.

“It is in this form, otherwise known as Śakti Kuṇḍalinī, that Parā Kuṇḍalinī rests in a potential state in the body. She sleeps in Mulādhāra, the 'Root Support', which is situated at the base of the genital organs, coiled like a snake around Siva's seed (śivabindu) and awakens due to it. This is the form in which cosmic energy resides in the body. When Kuṇḍalinī [coiled snake] awakes, individual consciousness unites with universal consciousness and man discovers his cosmic nature.”
