Enjoyment of Life

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 …

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 …

My Favourite Transformational Festival DJ Sets

August 22, 2023 //  by Kara-Leah Grant

I adore transformational festivals because they showcase world-class festival DJs in sublime locations for ridiculously cheap ticket prices. I can dance all night long, for days, and feel exhausted but nourished by the sublime tunes and energy of my favourite festival DJ. You might not be able to make it to a transformational festival, but …

24 Hour Kirtan with the Hare Krishnas and the Unexpected Benefits

March 22, 2022 //  by Kara-Leah Grant

It was an irresistible invitation. Would I like to come to a 24 hour Kirtan with the Hare Krishnas who were at ProFestNZ?? Would I? Hell yes! I am a practice junkie, and whilst I’m dedicated to Tantra as my ‘path’, one of the beauties of Tantra is that it encompasses ALL practices, all paths, all religions, all …

Can you feel the love tonight? How about now?

November 2, 2021 //  by Kara-Leah Grant

It’s November. That means mid to late spring here in Aotearoa – the lambs have already been and gone, and so have the daffodils. But the trees are still greening up, and the mostly-steady heat of summer has yet to arrive. Can you feel the love? It’s also 2021. That means Covid-19, Lockdowns, vaccines and …

Why Your New Moon Ritual Probably Won’t Work

May 13, 2021 //  by Kara-Leah Grant

Last night was New Moon, and the start of a three month Incubator I’m running called Envision Execute Enjoy. That programme focuses on the creation of heart’s desire. I choose the New Moon for the beginning of the Incubator deliberately, and recorded a New Moon Ritual designed to kickstart the process of stepping into the …
