the movement of shakti ( inner potential force) in the body is described like that of a bird.
In the Upanishads; the ancient text explains how consciousness is like a bird tied to a perch and cannot fly because of the alternating forces of Ida and Pingala nadis. (we are always working with balancing these forces).
By bringing the 2 forces together and consciousness can move upwards through Sushumna (inner spiritual nadi) it will ascend and ultimately will be freed in sahasrara chakra, the highest heaven. Ref Hatha Yoga Pradipika ch 3, v 55, 56.
Om Shanti
