Would you like to find a step by step guide to awake Kundalini? There isn't.

Would you know something more about Kundalini? There is, but don't expect to know everything about it. Who knows

Are you interested in awakening Kundalini? Must read.

Lot's of anecdotes and facts about Gopi Krishna awakening process. Could be so for you too?! Who knows, it's definitely helpful to know previous experience about a topic so much discussed but so little experienced.

With a psycological commentary by James Hillman
Foreword by Gene Kieffer"

Gopi Krishna never felt that what took place was personally his. From the beginning he was a mere instrument; therefore, at the end, he is merely a mouthpiece of a vaster truth."-James Hillman, author of The Soul's Cafe

Coiled like a snake at the base of the spine, kundalini is the spritual force that lies dormant in every human being. Once awakened, often through meditation and yoga practices, it rises up the spine and finds expression in the form of spiritual knowledge, mystical vision, psychic powers, and ultimately, enlightenment.

This is the classic first-person account of Gopi Krishna, an ordinary Indian householder who, at the age of thirty-four, after years of unsupervised meditation, suddenly experienced the awakening of kundalini during his morning practice. The story of this transformative experience, and the author's struggle to find balance amid a variety of powerful physiological and psychic side effects, forms the core of the book. His detailed descriptions of his dramatic inner experiences and symptoms such as mood swings, eating disorders, and agonizing sensations of heat-and of how, with the help of his wife, he finally stabilized at a higher level of consciousness-make this ne of the most valuable classics of spiritual awakening available.

Gopi Krishina (1903-1984) was born in Kashmir and later lived in the Punjab region of India. He is the author of numerous books on yoga and kundalini.

Gopi Krishna (1903-1984) was living as an ordinary Indian householder when at the age of thirty-four he experienced the awakening of the spiritual force known as kundalini-which he identified as the psycho-physiological mechanism responsible for the evolution of the human race. An empirical investigation of this mechanism, the author believes, will lead to a turning point in our resent concepts about mind and consciousness-even about matter and the universe as a whole. The first harvest of this change will be the beginning of a new science dealing wth subtle intelligent energies in the cosmos.
