This dissertation re-visions and reimagines the concept of kuṇḍalini and kuṇḍalini awakening as personal paradigm shift: an embodied experience of bodied-spiritedness dancing with consciousness-awareness. Read in this way, kuṇḍalini is a site of entanglement between the material and the transcendent, and the praxis of paradox. Kuṇḍalini is defined here using its historical construction from nondual Saiva Tantra and is the "innate intelligence of embodied Consciousness" (Wallis, 2017, p. 14). In addition to reframing the concept of kuṇḍalini, this dissertation focuses on a number of other research objectives. These are, first, to develop a working understanding of kuṇḍalini in its historical context; second, to deconstruct historical definitions of kuṇḍalini via a critical ecofeminist lens; third, to reframe the concept of kuṇḍalini from an ecofeminist standpoint; and finally, to expand the definition of kuṇḍalini in the current literature via an explication of Somadelics, a heart-centered and contemporary Tantra. The methodological approach used for this dissertation is a hermeneutic engagement with the texts, one that draws from several different styles of hermeneutics and is also my own approach to understanding and knowing. The dissertation introduces the history of the problem, posits different levels of significance, and goes on to review the literature pertinent to kuṇḍalini in nondual Saiva Tantra. Second, it offers a breakdown of the hermeneutic method used in the research process. Third, it offers a brief outline of pertinent concepts of nondual Saiva Tantra, exploring concepts of kuṇḍalini and kuṇḍalini awakening before deconstructing these conceptualizations through an ecofeminist lens. Fifth, it offers a reimagining of kuṇḍalini as well as my personal synthesis of Somadelics, a contemporary understanding of a heart-centered Tantra. Sixth, it explores of the implications of said reframe and compares the similarities and differences between a kuṇḍalini awakening in Tantra and the Mazatec use of psilocybin. Finally, it concludes with potential directions for further research.
