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 …

February 13, 2024 //  by Kara-Leah Grant

by Kara-Leah Grant Recently, I sat down cross-legged to do my daily Tantrik Yoga* practice as I have done every day for the past 150+ days. More if you count my first attempt at hitting 1000 Day Practice, when I got up to Day 338. This practice has become very familiar to me. However, unlike …
