The Serpent in Your Shadow: How Childhood Trauma Blocks Your Kundalini
Legacy in the Blood
From the moment of birth, we are more than just ourselves. We inherit the character, the gifts, and the unresolved trauma of our ancestors. They stand behind you now, a silent council watching their legacy unfold through your life.
Their experiences are encoded in your bloodline, passed down through generations, and often given to you through the hands of the very people who raised you. This is where the ancestral shadow becomes personal—this is the root of childhood trauma.
The unhealed wounds of your grandparents became the unconscious patterns of your parents, which were then imprinted onto you. This isn't about blame; it's about recognizing a lineage of pain that has chained the ancient serpent power—the Kundalini—within your family for generations.
The question is, will you be the one to finally break the chain?
Will you be the one to heal not only your own childhood wounds, but to release the blockages of your entire bloodline and reclaim the power that is your birthright?
Tree of the Soul
The Wizzan Path is rooted in the ancient world, where Gnosis was drawn from the book of nature itself. This is why the “Tree of Life” is a constant motif in myth and legend—it is a perfect map of the human soul.
Think of your own being as this sacred Tree. The roots are your foundation, drawing nourishment and poison alike from your ancestral past and, most critically, from the soil of your childhood. The trunk is the journey of your life, the story you are living now. And the canopy is your ever-evolving consciousness, reaching for the light of the eternal present.
The serpent power we seek to unleash—the Kundalini—is the divine energy that is meant to flow freely through this Tree.
Inversion of the Sacred
Ancient matriarchal societies understood this. They revered the womb (sheela-na-gig) as a sacred portal. The birth of a child was seen as a holy event. An arrival from a “being” from the other-world. The later invention of "original sin" was a direct inversion of this truth—a spell designed to sever us from our divine nature and poison the very roots of our Tree before we even took our first breath.
According to the Wizzan Path, this was not a mistake; it was a weapon. An ideology of shame and self-hate became the justification for generational child abuse—a tool of psycho-spiritual warfare designed to trap the Serpent power within humanity. By wounding the soul in its earliest stages, the natural flow of life force is frozen. The Tree is poisoned at its root.
Everything is birthed through a womb, and the fabric of creation is a pregnant ocean of dark matter: the dark mother, the dark birther, a dynamic but creative shimmering Void of luminous darkness. This great sea births us into life, and eventually we fall back into her living waters.
—Bertrand (Womb Awakening)
Prison for the Soul
This is how a soul becomes trapped in time. The divine energy that was meant to rise—the Dragon latent in the roots—is imprisoned in the chambers of its own trauma. It is made nearly impossible for this power to grow with the maturing human, to rise up the trunk and bloom from the crown. This is the ultimate form of control: to imprison a soul within its own immense power, preventing it from ever becoming a full initiate of the universal path.
Parents, whose unconscious is infected with unowned trauma, transfer to the child’s magical realm their ancestral poisons. As Alice Miller states in her seminal book ‘For Your Own Good’:
It is also a part of "poisonous pedagogy" to impart to the child from the beginning false information and beliefs that have been passed on from generation to generation and dutifully accepted by the young even though they are not only unproven but are demonstrably false.
—Alica Miller
To heal, the mystic—the Wizzan—must become a time traveler. The journey is not outward, but inward; a quest to find the parts of your soul that were frozen by trauma long ago.
This practice, known to shamans as "soul retrieval," is a modern-day hero's journey. You, the hero of today, must travel back to the inner realm of your childhood to rescue the one who was left behind: your inner child, trapped in the painful constructs of the past.
Such a venture requires discipline. It demands that you learn to focus your inner vision and understand the symbolic landscape of your own psyche—the archetypes, the emotions, and the dream-like language of your soul.
Blocks to Serpent Power
Notice how the beliefs listed below are not random. They are the cornerstones of a widespread indoctrination, religious and authoritarian in nature, designed to separate you from your power. This program runs on shame. It is a spell cast upon the soul to shatter its innocence, confuse its inner compass, and desecrate its natural, wild integrity.
Under the traumatic pressure of this conditioning, your own spiritual energy becomes inverted. The inner realm of the young dragon, which should have been a sanctuary of power, becomes a self-made trap. And the serpent that was meant to be your greatest ally in healing turns on itself, poisoning the very roots of your being.
Authority and Respect
Parents are entitled to respect, regardless of their actions.
Children are not entitled to respect, regardless of their being.
Obedience is a virtue that builds character.
Questioning authority is a dangerous flaw.
Self-Worth
A strong sense of self-worth is selfish and arrogant.
Low self-esteem is a sign of humility and selflessness.
Your needs are an inconvenience to others.
Harshness and emotional neglect are necessary training for the real world.
Emotion and Authenticity
You can eliminate unwanted feelings simply by suppressing them.
Love is a duty that can be manufactured by obligation.
Intense emotions are dangerous and should be avoided.
Appearing grateful is more important than being honest.
What you do matters more than who you are.
Body and Spirit
The body and its natural urges are shameful and dirty.
True tenderness and affection are spoiling and harmful.
Those in power (parents, leaders) are pure and free from the messy urges you experience.
Valor of the Wizzan
Ideally, our inner power would awaken naturally, nurtured from birth in a home where we are respected, where our needs are met with love, and where our feelings are honored. In this perfect environment, our self-worth would be celebrated, our bodies seen as sacred, and our questions encouraged. This is the fertile soil where the soul grows strong and the serpent energy unfurls without effort.
But for most of us, this was not our reality. We inherited a world of poisonous beliefs that taught us to doubt our worth, suppress our feelings, and fear our own power. These beliefs became blocks, caging the divine energy within us.
A Wizzan is one who awakens to this truth. A Wizzan is a soul brave enough to turn inward and confront these painful blocks head-on. They do the hard work of healing the childhood wounds that others ignore, challenging the toxic beliefs that have been passed down for generations.
This is the purpose of the Wizzan Path: to consciously dismantle the prison of our past. By confronting these shadows, a Wizzan breaks the chains, grows their soul beyond its inherited limits, and finally releases the ancestral Dragon power that was always waiting within.
