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.
