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. . .

An accomplished book which starts with the specific manifestation of the author's kundalini symptoms and works toward embedding it in a larger and essentially new framework of spiritual maturation. . .

This is a pioneering and first-of-a-kind work that will be a great help to Westerners and Christians who either want to know more about kundalini or who are struggling with their own kundalini issues. . .

This book describes the awakening of the kundalini process in Philip St. Romain, a Christian who knew nothing about this energy. Here, Philip recounts the phases of the process and attempts to understand its relation to physiology, psychology, Christian spirituality and theology. Helpful Appendixes by James Arraj, STD, provide additional reflection on kundalini and Jungian psychology, kundalini and theology.
