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 …

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 …

To get vaccinated or not? Is that even the question?

September 23, 2021 //  by Kara-Leah Grant

I’m writing this in September 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic has been raging for 20 months or so. There’s been almost 230 million cases, and 4.7 millions deaths, according to the World Health Organisation. Here in New Zealand / Aotearoa, where I live, we’ve had 3,763 cases and 27 deaths and 37.5% of the population is …

How to Resolve Trauma in Real Time with Tantrik Yoga Practices

June 18, 2021 //  by Kara-Leah Grant

I’m in a strip-mining phase of the awakening journey. This shows up through intense emotional triggers, and old trauma nervous system responses. I’m being called to resolve trauma in the system in real time. Fortunately I’ve got the practices, tools, techniques and skills todo this. Most importantly, my Beloved is able to hold the space …

The 1000 Day Tantrik Yoga Practice: Failed Attempt #2

March 2, 2021 //  by Kara-Leah Grant

It was October, 2018. I was catching a ride to Day 3 of a three-day workshop with Ana Forrest & Jose Calarco. Nikki – giving me a ride – and I were talking about mountains and the energy they embody. I was sharing my recent experiences in Glenorchy, where I would sit outside at sunset …

Can Kundalini Awakening trigger Psychosis?

November 6, 2020 //  by Kara-Leah Grant

The short answer is yes. However, this does not mean that every experience of psychosis is attributable to Kundalini Awakening. And even if the experience of psychosis has been triggered by the activation of Kundalini energy, it can still be necessary to use medication, therapy, or other western medial interventions in order to stabilise the …
