Power: Vital Force
Action: Survive
Essence: Instinct
The Red Serpent represents the beginning of our nature, our instinctive bodily wisdom, our sensuality and passion. It reminds us to focus on our earthly vehicle, honoring our body as an incredible and sensual mechanism, and recognizing it as an instrument offering us infinite opportunities.
Our body is our temple, our only home during life. It has its own language and invites us to walk, breathe, stretch, move, dance, discover and above all, feel. Be a creature, not an intellect. Follow your body!
Vital force is our vitality. Every moment the decisions we make impact our stock of vital force; we must cultivate and care for it. One of the most powerful sources of vital force everyone has is sexual energy.
The Serpent is the basic structural apparatus of our motivations, instincts, and desires. It asks you to shed the skin of your past and go through the physical transmutations of fire.
With the energy of this Seal, you learn to use the innate intelligence of your body. It is common to have a separation of body and soul for cultural reasons, and when you repress or ignore problems, your body receives and retains unconscious metaphors. This expresses itself through physical symptoms, making our problems conscious again.
When that happens, work more on the relationship of your consciousness with your body and physical problems to heal yourself on all levels. Indeed, the body is a living metaphor reflecting our mind. It also stores past experiences and, accordingly, becomes aware of the past, expressing them in traumas and wounds.
Open and feel the messages of your body as metaphors instead of merely storing them. Explore what it shows you. Pay attention to issues related to intimacy and sexuality. Make sure you are in the right rhythm of the dance between your body and your soul. The red serpent asks you to awaken your vitality, your bodily wisdom, and your passion for life.
A day represented by the energy of the Red Serpent is very powerful for any body purification or physical exercise. It is a day to listen to your sensuality and enjoy the pleasures of your senses. It is a day when the body manifests more strongly, in a more instinctive way, and it is important to give it what it wants: sports, dance, food, rest, massage.
