Qigong, Dreams & Serpent Initiation

Contributing Author: Christina Bjergo, LAc

Grand Master of Sacred Serpent Spiral Qigong

When I started utilizing and teaching Sacred Serpent Spiral Qigong in November 2006 I had no idea where the journey would take me. By incorporating this unique form of movement meditation into a weekly routine practice, however, so began a period of tremendous spiritual growth beyond my wildest expectations.

One of the main benefits of this form of qigong is that it connects people to their innate body wisdom – allowing movement, feelings, images and impressions to spontaneously arise from the world of the unconscious, from the world of God. This access to divine energy and wisdom is further explored through visual artistic expression and automatic writing. It is a time to have fun, be playful and for many such as myself to experience a newfound sense of freedom and Self.

But the benefits extend outside of the classroom. In addition to increased feelings of joyfulness, peace and vitality I almost immediately found greater clarity and harmony to my nighttime dreaming and began enjoying increased lucid, guidance and prophetic dreams. Flowing with Nature through qigong also shifted my waking life and I experienced heightened positive synchronistic events, greater intuitive hits, and prophetic occurrences in Nature that offered validation and insight. In April 2008, I began having dreams marking the beginning of an initiation - candles being lit around me and being asked by a teacher if I was ready are a couple examples. At first, I interpreted this to mean that I should seek a spiritual program of study. I soon came to realize, however, that I had begun a kundalini awakening and that all the guidance and instruction I needed was already available (though maybe not always consciously) within me. I was facilitating the spiraling serpent rising (with qigong being the primary tool) and it therefore occurred safety and smoothly in steps and stages as I was psychologically and physically ready. In the next several months my psyche (conscious and unconscious working together) went through the cyclical process of death and rebirth leading to the resurrection of parts of myself previously splintered off, the transcendence of old traumas/issues, and the ascension into higher planes of existence and dimensions of myself.

My work thus far had focused on the development and strengthening of my lower dan tian as the physical center of the body that rests in the belly from a Qigong perspective. This area has correspondence with the element of water and shamanic journeying to the Lower World/Underworld. In November 2007 following a spiritual odyssey to Egypt, I experienced an alchemical activation of my Instinctual Soul or Divine Feminine aspect (also known as the Ka energy body in ancient Egypt and the Po Soul in Traditional Chinese Medicine) and have been able to consciously see and work with my Ka energetic double in other dimensions. Marking the completion of this kundalini awakening, I had nighttime dreams of completion such as candles being blown out and seeing myself ritually crossing a snake skin threshold as I stepped onto a new path ahead.

My spiritual development has shifted at this time to my upper dan tian which is the spiritual center of the body that rests within the center of the head according to Qigong Theory. This area corresponds with the element of wind (the breath of God) and shamanic journeying to the Upper World or Heavens. In so doing, I am connecting more fully with my Celestial Soul or Divine Masculine aspect (also known as the Ba Soul in ancient Egypt and the Hun Soul in Traditional Chinese Medicine). As I more fully integrate the masculine and feminine aspects of myself, a unity into Oneness is revealing itself through a Sacred Marriage of the heart. The heart is, I believe, the place where the potential for God realization awaits. It is a place beyond duality, where the Holy Spirit resides, and Paradise awaits.
