Everything You Need to Know About Kundalini Awakening (But Didn’t Know to Ask)

June 8, 2022 //  by Kara-Leah Grant

Kundalini Awakening, the activation and rising of Kundalini energy in the body, can be a frightening and even dangerous experience.

The Social Dilemma • Are you merely AI slave labour?

September 18, 2020 //  by Kara-Leah Grant

What’s with Tantra and Sex?

May 26, 2020 //  by Kara-Leah Grant

There it was, in black and white, blazoned across the Google search results, Tantra and sex, everywhere: “Tantra worship has flourished in popularity in the Western World, establishing a reinterpretation of Hindu and Buddhist practices. This new, modern practice is often referred to as Neotantra. As time progressed, some of the ancient outdated teachings of tantra have been readopted …
