Kundalini: Divine Energy, Divine Life
Kundalini has been called the energetic key to enlightenment and the secret to well-being and wisdom. Complex and powerful, this mysterious energy is often linked to sacred sex and our spiritual mission. Kundalini is one of the most discussed, but least understood, forms of divine energy. So what is it, really? Renowned intuitive healer Cyndi Dale presents concise yet comprehensive guidance to help you truly understand kundalini energy and how to use it to transform your life spiritually and physically. Recognizing and integrating this sacred energy is essential to achieving vibrant health, having better and more meaningful relationships, and finding your life's authentic purpose. Featuring the latest scientific research, this guide also explores mystical practices such as breathwork, tantra, and mantras, and offers illuminating first-hand accounts from Cyndi's healing and teaching practice. "An informative read for anybody who has been curious about one of yoga's lesser-known forms."― IASPA Magazine

April 28, 2013Fantastic journey through what is Kundalini and chakra work - more than a book, a great reference.

Kundalini references a spiritual or mystical experience that is generally thought to be a life-changing and disruptive "awakening" (although not necessarily the same as "enlightenment" or a full spiritual awakening). Useful information on this experience is difficult to come by, and this book does little to help.
From the opening chapters, Dale's coverage of the topic is riddled with factual, historical, and linguistic errors. It's hard to say for sure what might be true or untrue with regard to Kundalini itself, since first-hand experiences are rare and second-hand accounts are contradictory. But with regard to the historical roots and accounts of Kundalini in Vedic, Buddhist, and Tantric sources, Dale is mystifyingly ill-informed. Nor does she purport to offer any first-hand knowledge.
Additionally, the book is padded with paragraph upon paragraph of unnecessary, repetitive, and unhelpful verbiage. Whole chapters can be skipped for lack of anything substantive or actionable.
There are a smattering of practices, any of which can be found in a garden-variety book on yoga, meditation, or pranayama.
One bright point: Dale recognizes the tantric teachings relevant to Kundalini without lumping Tantra into a western better-sex program, or restricting sources to some particular orthodoxy of classical lineage. And as already noted, at least Dale does not pretend to first-hand knowledge she does not have.
Still, this book has little of substance to offer the serious practitioner cultivating Kundalini.

This was one of the first books I reached for when kundalini energy began moving in my system, and I found it really helpful. Cyndi Dale offers a clear and accessible framework—practical without being overly simplified. It gave me just enough structure and language to feel less alone in the process. A steady resource for the early stages.

It’s a good book. There is some really good content but there is also some very in depth over my head information that I had a hard time staying focused with. I’m on the fence with this one hence the 3 ⭐️Good reference material to refer back to.

This book was a good intro book, especially in the department of explaining things, but it didn’t go as deep as I was hoping.

Most of wording is New Agey; but if you know what to look for, her charts are very helpful about Chakra work.

Kundalini (the life force within) has long been known as a devine force and the key to enlightment and as the secret power of physical pleasures and joy. To embrace its power, you don't need to follow a certain set of scriptures, you only have to search inside yourself, and its wild, divine light becomes clearer. This books explores a few of the healing practices.
