Kundalini and the Art of Being ... what felt like my center in the midst of it all—a place of calm within
the storm that I could now clearly sense amidst all the discord.
As I lay there on my back becoming more and more centered and
grounded, it was as if I passed through the blocked energy and found
myself somehow underneath it. I could feel all the trapped energy
hovering just above my body, as if it were ready to break away and
fly free. I became so relaxed that I almost forgot for the time being

Nothing to do, nowhere to go. I just sat and looked around me at the
objects in my room, noticing how dramatically my perception had
shifted, once again, in spite of the fact that nothing outwardly had
actually changed. It was perfectly clear to me in that moment what
happiness was: just being truly alive, basking in the pure presence of
spirit. That is all there is to it; it’s so simple.
This method of bodily vibration became a powerful tool along
my spiritual path over the next few years. Due to the energy open-
