Befriending Your Kundalini
Kundalini is pure aliveness, a powerful creative energy. Activating it can lead to states of bliss. Come learn to awaken the power within.
Tantric and yogic traditions describe Kundalini as a dormant energy of immense power that lies coiled as the base of the spine. When activated, it rises like a serpent upward through the body toward the crown of the head. Kundalini can lead to experiences of bliss and spiritual realization. When held with skill and respect, Kundalini can be among the most profound and precious of our inheritances as humans. Drawing on decades of practice with Kundalini, Mara and Matt are teaming up to share their wisdom to befriend your kundalini.
