In this conversation with one of my Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training graduates, Polly of North &amp;amp; Soul, we explore the Adi Shakti mantra not as theory\u2026 but as medicine. This isn\u2019t just a breakdown of Sanskrit. It\u2019s a conversation about what happens when you stop micromanaging your life force \u2014 and allow energy to move again. In this episode, we explore: \ud83d\udd39 Living at \u201ctwo out of ten\u201d versus fully expressed in your energy \ud83d\udd39 Kundalini as your magnetism \u2014 your truest creative essence \ud83d\udd39 How conditioning and trauma constrict your life force \ud83d\udd39 Shiva and Shakti as awareness and energy inside the body \ud83d\udd39 Why surrender feels unsafe when your nervous system learned to brace \ud83d\udd39 The nurturing frequency of Mata Shakti (Divine Mother) \ud83d\udd39 How to use the Adi Shakti mantra as an anchor when overwhelmed \ud83d\udd39 The exact mudra and meditation setup We also talk about what it means to soften without collapsing. To allow energy to move instead of clamping down. To trust that you don\u2019t have to control everything in order to feel safe. If you\u2019ve been trying to hold it all together \u2014 this episode invites you into a different way. And, if this conversation awakens something in you, my upcoming Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training goes deeper into: \u2022 Mantra &amp;amp; energetic anatomy \u2022 Shiva\u2013Shakti integration \u2022 Nervous system regulation \u2022 Embodied leadership  https:\/\/www.brettlarkin.com\/online-kundalini-yoga-teacher-training\/?utm_medium=social&amp;amp;utm_source=podcast&amp;amp;utm_campaign=ku&amp;nbsp; GUEST EXPERT: Polly Standeven | @northandsoul&amp;nbsp; Polly Standeven is the founder of North &amp;amp; Soul, a Kundalini teacher, and community leader devoted to feminine alchemy, energy work, and heart-led living.
