What kind of Energy is Parvati ?

Shiva's feminine aspect is Parvati. She is the gentler personification of Shiva's energy, Shakti, from which comes the English word, "shock." Shakti is the electrical energy in our body, which gives us life, consciousness and movement. Her power is stored at the base of the spine. When we begin to grow spiritually, that creative force moves up the spine and awakens our innate powers of love, discrimination and wisdom. She dances upward until she freed through the crown of the head, to merge our soul with its divine source in Shiva. So our path of enlightenment is the winding, serpentine movement of Shakti reaching upward to dance with Shiva Nataraj. He carries a trident, representing Sat, Chit, Ananda: Truth, Awareness, and Bliss. The couple sits before a lingam, or sacred stone, which would be found in the central shrine of a Shivite temple.
