Guest guest Posted July 17, 2002 Report Share Posted July 17, 2002 Hello, I recommend this exceptional book : Kundalini Energy and Christian Spirituality: A Pathway to Growth and Healing Philip St Romain >From Library Journal St. Romain here attempts the difficult task of relating his so-called spiritual awakening. He describes the day-to-day journey with exacting physical detail, which he claims represents the awakening of Kundalini Energy, a powerful form of psycho-spiritual energy located at the base of the spine. In essence, his exercise seems to be a response to the physical manifestations of an impending midlife crisis, or quite possibly a nervous breakdown. His prose is self-indulgent (e.g., ``Sense of going into an abyss, or black hole, sensations of electrical energy rippling through the reproductive organs, emotional release through weeping and deep sighs''). The book's chief problem may lie in the fact that St. Romain attempts to describe a spiritual experience using Western physiological terms. Also, his attempt to relate the experience to Christianity seems like a neat afterthought or an attempt to package the book for an American audience. Not recommended. --- I have been reading books about Kundalini for over 30 years--starting with my own Kundalini experience--and Philip St Romain's book is one of the best I have had the pleasure to read. It is particularly helpful to bewildered people who were not seeking Kundalini, or did not know what it was until it awakened in them. And that it is from a Christian perspective gives it even greater weight, making it literally a godsend to Christians experiencing this spiritual phenomenon found in all spiritual traditions, but not always understood within the Christian world. Philip St Romain's humility throughout the book gives it greater credibility and lets the reader vicariously enjoy the experience. This is one of the most helpful Kundalini books I have ever read. I would recommend it to anyone undergoing a Kundalini awakening, and anyone interested in this evolutionary energy that is often misdiagnosed and misunderstood. ---- Enjoy ! Jacques As you see, some critics may be paradoxical. --- Jacques De Schryver http://jdsetls.virtualave.net/kundalini.html http://members.xoom.fr/jdsetls/ http://www.shuttercity.com/ShowGallery.cfm?AcctID=797 http://www.photosapiens.com/redir.asp?comu_id=171 Site de Linda : http://www.multimania.com/lsteven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
