"Alright, this is going to sound crazy but a new kid's movie my family went to see on Sunday, a sequel to the insanely popular Disney Frozen, has not only a Kundalini metaphor in it, but describes the method of delivery of Kundalini Shakti as Cerebrospinal Fluid in the human body.
Stay with me as I explain it, but what I can't explain is that the makers have chosen to have the following sequence of events intentionally shown in the order they are. The only clue I can see is that the origin of the story appears to be Danish in nature, with the sacred river I will talk about being called Ahtohallan, and I will need to research that later.
So to the metaphor; the main character in the movie is Elsa, I'm sure most parents like myself will have had enough of her from the last movie and that catchy song "Let it go". However in this new movie Elsa is endowed with some depth that I could not have predicted. She starts the story happy following the events of the first movie, but soon hears a calling. It is a voice that only she can hear and it sings out to her, beckoning her to journey to find out what it is. The characters learn of a sacred river called Ahtohallan in which memories of the past are held, and Elsa wants to find out what happened to her dead parents. There is a snowman character called Olaf (sorry if I’m teaching you to suck eggs!) who strangely becomes a philosopher in this movie and keeps saying that water can hold memories of the past, he jokes that it takes the memories from everyone it has ever passed through!
After finding a map with her sister, Elsa chooses to try to find this sacred river alone and leaves her sister and her friends, but soon finds that she is stuck at an impassable dark and foreboding sea. Try as she might she cannot pass this violent obstacle which keeps throwing her back to the shore, and yet she still heeds the call of the voice despite the danger.
In one of her attempts she is attacked by a demonic horse entity with glowing eyes in the rough water, and it tries to drown her. Over and over she struggles with this horse in a dark night of the soul style, until she is eventually able to lasso the wild horse and mount it. She then gains control of the animal and tames it so that she may ride across the sea on its back to the frozen Ahtohallan river.
Once on the other side of the sea Elsa disembarks and bows to the horse, which returns the gesture, and then bursts into song as she ventures into a small opening in the frozen river. The song is full of references to the awakening experience:
“I hear you and I’m coming
Every inch of me is trembling and not from the cold
Something is familiar like the dream I can reach but not quite hold
I can sense you there like a friend I’ve always known
I arrive there and it feels like I am home
I have always been a fortress, cold secrets deep inside
You have secrets too, but you don’t have to hide
Show yourself, I’m dying to meet you
Show yourself, it’s your turn
Are you the one I’ve been looking for all of my life?
Show yourself, I’m ready to learn”
She travels along the narrow tunnel to a crystal castle beneath the frozen river (I kid you not) where she shatters a blockage of ice and triggers her memories of her dead mother through this medium of the river water and has an explosive awakening experience that fountains through her and transforms her from a hard driven character to a mellow softer and kinder one who serves others rather than herself.
Is it just me or is this the CSF and the activation and journey of Kundalini along the Sushumna to explode in the cave of Brahma, all shown in a Disney movie for kids?"
