REFORMATTED WITH NEW COVER Includes Two Interviews with Gopi Krishna Kundalini is a subtle energy at the base of the spine which when unleashed becomes a powerful force leading to altered and higher states of consciousness. This is a ground-breaking book about kundalini and its connection with psychological vitality and spiritual transformation. Through author Darrel Irving’s own experience, Joseph Campbell’s documentation of kundalini, and the case histories of Gopi Krishna and others, readers learn that kundalini is more than a spiritual concept, a religious illusion or a New Age fantasy. Kundalini is real. It is a curative process if approached with knowledge and understanding, for kundalini is healing – it is the mechanism of evolution contained in the human body. Kundalini: The Serpent of Fire makes it abundantly clear that the experience of kundalini is not just a special dispensation granted by fate or destiny to a select, privileged group. Nor is it the preserve of a few gurus or self-appointed holy men. Kundalini is for everyone, and kundalini-activated individuals are the hope and promise of the new millennium.
