Customer Reviews

Clear, simple, humoristic, excellent.

I have read about 200 books related to Kundalini. This one is serious, goes to the core of the subject, and shows clarity of mind.

Excellent Kundalini Book

I have been reading books about Kundalini for over 30 years--starting with my own Kundalini experience--and Philip St Romain's book is one of the best I have had the pleasure to read. It is particularly helpful to bewildered people who were not seeking Kundalini, or did not know what it was until it awakened in them. And that it is from a Christian perspective gives it even greater weight, making it literally a godsend to Christians experiencing this spiritual phenomenon found in all spiritual traditions, but not always understood within the Christian world. Philip St Romain's humility throughout the book gives it greater credibility and lets the reader vicariously enjoy the experience. This is one of the most helpful Kundalini books I have ever read. I would recommend it to anyone undergoing a Kundalini awakening, and anyone interested in this evolutionary energy that is often misdiagnosed and misunderstood.

Excellent Kundalini Reference

An accomplished book which starts with the specific manifestation of the authors kundalini symptoms and works toward embedding it in a larger and essentially new framework of spiritual maturation. The description of symptoms are accurate, detailed and very useful for comparative purposes of telling whether you are undergoing the process. The impersonal speculations about physical mechanisms that drive kundalini are interesting. St. Romain treats the entire episode with reverence, respect and awe. It was and remains a valuable appraisal of Grace for a (western) world desperately in need of new models for consciousness and aging.

A very valuable and knowledgeable book about kundalini .

I want to call the attention of people interested in kundalini to this excellent, not-so-well-known short book. The author is a balanced and responsible scholar of world religions and of the physiological aspects of the kundalini experience;he is also oriented in Western psychological understanding. He recounts his own dramatic experience, which arose out of prayer practice, and then shares the broad and sophisticated understanding of it he developed through study and practice.
