Awakening Kundalini: The Path to Radical Freedom

As someone who has been trying to navigate the sometimes overwhelming experience of a kundalini rising this book has been a lifeline. I have read several books over the years on the topic and this is one of the best and most helpful. Lawrence Edwards really knows what he is talking about, he doesn't ramble on about his own experiences and really doesn't talk too much on the general symptoms of kundalini but rather explains more about what is happening and why. I don't find it particularly helpful to only discuss symptoms like so many other people do because everyone has such vastly different experiences. For example reading Gopi Krishna's account left me feeling depressed and full of fear. Was this really what was in store for me? I left Edwards book feeling more confident and more comfortable in my own skin and really starting to appreciate this crazy beautiful kundalini awakening as being a blessing and not a curse. I really recommend to anyone else struggling with the kundalini experience or anyone who is interested in the topic.

WOW!! I'm not into yoga itself but I do accept the chakra idea for health & well being, so I wanted to understand Kundalini as a concept in a psychological capacity with an open mind & heart. I wasn't expecting such a life expanding & life changing read which I have had to put down & pick up again weeks later because it has been so powerfully meaningful & experiential. It is beautifully written in a personal & positive way with practical steps through out to practice although they do not get in the way of reading it straight simply as a book. It has enabled me to skip over the yoga terminology fairly easily. I am shocked how this book has made me expanded my outlook & the effect it is having on me, as I said WOW!!. Only read it if you can handle the life changing power within it & want the possible experience of Kali & Shiva turning up. Amazing!!

There are so many meditations in this book it will keep you busy for quite some time it is very well written and gives lots of great suggestions for you own growth this is an awesome book and I really cant recommend it enough.

Good read

A must in your book collection, Im reading it again, the more you read you find parts that you missed.

This is a fantastic book. I recommend it to anyone seeking knowledge. Stu

Truly life changing infromation, thank you.

I came across this book with lots of positive reviews so thought it might be helpful around managing a difficult KA process. Unfortunately it does not offer much practical advice or guidance if you are not into mantras or invoking any deities. Also there are consistent indications of the need for an experienced guru or teacher to support the process. If I had a guru or teacher I wouldn't need a book like this, not everyone going through a spiritual awakening has this luxury. There are better books out there which I found afterwards which are way more practical and not so embedded in any particular spiritual tradition or requiring connecting with any deities or pantheons through mantra. If you are engaging in a more sovereign form of spirituality where you feel uncomfortable with invoking deities, or flowery syntax, maybe find something else.

An Eye Opener...must read if you are embarking on the Spiritual Journey . I am more inspired and intrigued to Experience the Shakti than ever.

The author Dr. Lawrence Edwards has made a big impact on my life. His unwavering commitment and dedication for this work stand out in a time when purity is elusive

A book written with feelings, no doubt, and one that makes you feel warm and not alone whenever you pick it up and leaf through its easy and enlightening pages. Personally, I do not agree with the author's view that one needs a teacher in order to fully awaken to the power of Kundalini, since it is a known fact that the vast majority of those known as teachers or spiritual guides are nothing more than enlightened-looking charlatans. In fact, doubt is being cast now even on Swami Muktananda's character and reputation as a great teacher. In short, this is a clearly written book that will show and encourage you to go deeper within yourself, and, once there, how to find the real and eternal you, the very real being that quite probably is watching you as you are reading these words right now. Recommended.

THX!!!

Ho "bevuto" ogni frase di questo libro bellissimo, scritto con assoluta sincerità, onestà, competenza e autorevolezza. Credo di avere evidenziato forse metà del testo, forse è uno di quei libri che sarebbe stato meglio leggere in formato cartaceo. Basato sia su esperienze vissute che sull'esperienza professionale e la pratica con molte persone, è un libro autentico che per me è capitato proprio al momento giusto. Molto più chiaro e utile di altri libri sull'argomento, assolutamente consigliabile.
