Publisher's summary

A guide to moving gracefully through the three-phase process of Kundalini awakening:

• Explains the three phases of Kundalini awakening, the effects of pre-Kundalini and neuro-Kundalini, and Kundalini’s connection to the chakras and the spiritual heart
• Describes the physical, emotional, and spiritual effects of Kundalini energy, including the rerouting of digestive fire, which can lead to food allergies and sensitivities
• Explores supportive dietary and alternative health modalities, including fasting, paleo, keto, vegetarian, and mono diets, herbal allies, and meditation

Kundalini awakenings can have profound physical, emotional, and mental effects, making it difficult to cope with everyday life, yet these powerful awakenings can also allow you to release past trauma, see past the illusions of the false self, and awaken your spiritual heart, enabling you to recognize the divine self.

In this step-by-step guide to the three-phase process of Kundalini awakening, Mary Shutan delivers practical information on how to deal with such a spiritual emergence in our modern world. Starting with her own story, she describes the nature of Kundalini energy, the reasons for the energy rising, and the connection to the chakra system. Debunking the myths associated with Kundalini awakening, she explains how the first phase of Kundalini rising involves a surging up of fire - the fire of purification. It releases the past, liberates you from past bondages and beliefs, and disrupts the neuro-endocrine systems of the body. The second phase involves expansive experiences of ecstasy, peace, bliss, and emptiness states as the upper chakras open, greater perspective on life comes in, and you connect with cosmic consciousness. The third phase, the opening of the spiritual heart, is a shift from upward-flowing energy to a downward flow of grace into the heart center, leading to compassion, re-anchoring in the world, and the embodiment of light.

Exploring how Kundalini profoundly rewires the physical body and the mind, the author describes the rerouting of digestive fire during the rising of Kundalini energy. She explores the relationship between Kundalini and food allergies and sensitivities as well as supportive dietary and alternative health modalities, including fasting; paleo, keto, vegetarian, vegan, and mono diets; herbal allies; and mineral supplements. She also explores sexual practices that may help or hinder the process and meditation techniques to facilitate Kundalini awakening during each phase.

Providing detailed guidance for each phase of Kundalini awakening, this experiential guide supports you as you transform not only emotionally and spiritually but also physically and socially into your divine self.

Incredible resource - highly recommend

I loved listening to this book. Mary does an incredible job reading the book in a way to which allowed for me to fully grasp the depths of these concepts.
I have not experienced Kundalini however I am intrigued by the subject matter. This book gave a lot more information and tools that I have not seen in other texts or videos concerning Kundalini.

I will most likely buy this book because of the amount of useful information!

Great Substance, High School Performance

I have known about Kundalini for over 30 years. I will not bother to give my personal experience since that is not the purpose of this quick review.
The substance and essence of this book is precise, full of good detail. The author knows well her subject; any reader, regardless their experience, should learn a lot from its contents.
However the author’s narration takes me back to my high school years 2 scores ago: flat, emotionless, no invitation to the listen to join in the author’s obviously deep-knowing journey. Like listening to one of my classmates moaning through her story about something no one, including the teacher i can only suppose, couldn’t care any less about.
The personal telling introductory is just too long. Annoyingly so for me. As a fact, in my physical copy i placed a bookmark at the beginning of chapters 1, closed it & went about making a salad as i went from listening to hearing to being annoyed she was going on & on & … on … & on … &on ….
Oy vey.
If it wasn’t for me doing a quick once-over of the physical copy I would have closed up audible & moved on to the next item I purchased.
But I didn’t want to dishonor this person for her unwise decision to perform the narration herself.
I will stick with this for as long as i can but i will require some stick-to-it-ivness to proceed through the remaining 8 hours of this otherwise important book, in my lowly opinion.

Performance -

This book and contents are very good. Unfortunately narration was flat, slow, and without inflection. I could not finish it on audible. I suggest author hires a professional to read her books in the future. For now it is better to buy the book and read it.
