📝 Description: The Kundalini Book of Living and Dying: Gateways to Higher Consciousness

There is a spiritual energy dormant below the base of the spine. In the East it is called the Kundalini but by whatever name it is called, it is the common denominator in all major religions. People with awakened Kundalini experience death even before dying through visions and out-of-body spiritual experiences. These people are known as the "twice born." The Kundalini Book of Living and Dying shows how to awaken Kundalini and experience the power of spiritual rebirth. A twiceborn person simultaneously enjoys the best of this world and the next - through an inner journey that conquers fear of death. That inner journey travels the world of meditation and unconscious dreams, as well as actual neardeath experience. This book describes: the seven divisions of the universe and details of the astral plane, the properties of the soul, experiences and anecdotes of people showing the power of the awakened soul, scientific evidence of the soul's existence, as well as various methods of achieving higher consciousness through Kundalini awakening. As one practices the techniques and exercises that awaken Kundalini, one becomes twice born - the chain of repeated births is broken and one may enter the Kingdom of God. The Kundalini Book of Living and Dying offers a spiritual practice that is the most direct path to selfrealization. More than enlightenment, the awakened Kundalini is the triumph of eternal life over the fear of death.

Kumar and Larsen present a comprehensive manual for igniting Kundalini energy, offering a structured path for the 'twice born.' The text meticulously outlines methods for achieving higher awareness and confronting the soul's destiny. However, this is not a casual read; it demands serious commitment to esoteric practices and metaphysical concepts. It does not suit those seeking light self-help or scientific validation of spiritual phenomena. Readers unprepared for intense psychological confrontation with mortality or unfamiliar with yogic terminology may find the content overwhelming or abstract rather than illuminating.
