The being that is depicted here rising out of the waters is called in Tibetan lhu གླུ. In Sanskrit, the word is Naga नाग. Naga means serpent. Lhu or Naga is a type of being that is not human, and that does not generally appear in the physical world, although they can. They are elemental spirits, primordial intelligences of nature that protect a vast amount of knowledge and energy. Any shaman works with lhu, the forces of nature.
Every body of water has a lhu. A river has lhu, a lake, a tree, a rock, a mountain. These are all the elemental forces of nature, but now remember your body. You are sitting in a body that is comprised of all of those elements from nature. Everyday you take in more elements from nature. You take in the energies and components of lhu, and they become your body. But, we do this unconsciously, without any consciousness at all of what these elements are, what we do with them, and what they become. Fuel for Spiritual Experience
