How I was the source of my own suffering when I had an intense Kundalini Awakening (is this you too?)

September 24, 2025 //  by Kara-Leah Grant

Something that’s common amongst people experiencing an intense Kundalini Awakening is a desire for things to be different, a desire to fix or change things. It’s such a paradox but the doorway for a Kundalini Awakening, the portal, is our willingness to meet and embrace whatever’s unfolding exactly as it is. The paradox is that …

September 23, 2025 //  by Kara-Leah Grant

by Kara-Leah Grant, (I wrote this in 2019, and only just published it, 2025) This article has been a long time coming.

Returning to Facebook: What happened when I came back after 5 years of absence

September 7, 2025 //  by Kara-Leah Grant

My favourite part of returning to Facebook after 5 years is becoming friends with my friends. Of starting fresh and new and more or less only friend requesting or saying yes to those who ARE my friends. Given how much I’ve moved, constantly leaving behind communities in Whistler, up & down New Zealand, and now …

Life After Cancer: How to Rediscover Purpose, Love, and Joy

September 2, 2025 //  by Kara-Leah Grant

Many people write to me with big, vulnerable questions. One email I received about life after cancer recently felt so powerful that I knew I had to share my response more widely, because it’s something so many of us wrestle with after illness, loss, or major life upheaval. Here’s what this subscriber shared (anonymously): “I’m …

A handful of students have shown up semi-regularly, two or three times a month, which means I’ve been able …
