The Kundalini Experience

by Lee Sannella

Many people have heard of the extraordinary phenomenon of kundalini awakening, and a growing number have had firsthand experience -- in some cases, involving disturbing physical and psychological effects. This classic work documents numerous case studies to demystify the process and reassure "victims, " who sometimes fear for their own sanity.

Been there and done that

I read an earlier edition of this book, before I went on a retreat to see a spiritual teacher, with the intention of becoming enlightened, by the kundalini process. I was in a hurry. I now teach kinder and gentler and slower ways. Anyhow, somewhat to my surprise, I went through the process. Now everything continues, to make more and more sense. It was about starting to become enlightened, so I am continually learning. Unfortunately for me, my doctors unlike the author, at the time, were not enlightened, about things like this. I did learn how ignorant they were, though. [...]

SO Grateful For This Book!

I acutally bought a copy of this book 10 years ago, read it, and thought it was a load of baloney. (And was secretly freaked out by the thought that it might NOT be baloney). Then, since I didn't want to consider the possibility, I got rid of the book. Now, 10 years later, a year after my OWN chakras started 'waking up'(and freaking the heck out of me!) I was directed to this book again and am now drinking it up, absolutely relieved that it exists, because the process it's describing is EXACTLY what's happening to me. (So much for my baloney theory!)It's too bad the book is out of print now, but kudos to all of the other sellers who are still making it available. Talk about the right book at the right time. If you suspect your energy is raising itself to a higher level (or you're not sure what's going on) check out this book. It may help a lot! It defintely has helped me. (And, in truth, the fact that I read it years before I went through this experience actually helped me to recognize it when it started happening to me).

Lucid, readable, useful.

I recommend this as an intro into the understanding of what Grof and Grof have dubbed "spiritual emergence," an increasingly common pattern of psychobiological activity often misdiagnosed as psychotic. -- Craig Chalquist, M.S., creator of the Thineownself self-exploration site.

An excellent book -- a "must" for medical doctors.

If you are working in the medical field - especially if have to diagnose - use this book to get an idea about a natural development which up to now occured very infrequently but which is going to be happing more often during the next years.

Excellent percpective by a western psychiatrist.

This book is a breakthrough for western people experiencing difficulties with kundalini. I need to find out about the kundalini clinic mentioned on the cover of the book. Please help me to connect to this clinic. It is hard to get to the publisher through the internet. I would prefer to have this confidential but cannot find the address or phone number for Integral Publishing and Lee Sannella other that this. If you have this information please email me. Thanks, Bluez
