transformation and attain planetary humanitarianism, we might in the future
reach a situation where we will deserve the name which we have so proudly given
to our species: Homo sapiens sapiens. For inspiration and sense of purpose and
direction of the kundalini transformative process I highly recommend Stan Grof ’s
Vision Award Speech. http://www.realitysandwich.com/node/655

Brain, Psychology of the Future, The Cosmic Game, When the Impossible Happens,
The Holotropic Mind, Spiritual Emergency.
Exploring Holotropic Breathwork: Selected Articles from a Decade of the Inner Door by
Kylea Taylor (Editor) has a section on breath work and kundalini.
Process WorK
Process Work developed by Arnold Mindell is based primarily on Taoism,
Jungian therapy and shamanism. Process work fits right in with the potential
for therapeutically and developmentally guided kundalini awakenings. Since
kundalini, either raw or cultivated, represents a more colorful and energetically
charged cycle of detoxification/dissolution/resurrection, the potential for growth
during an awakening is enormous. Because the archetypes that arise during an
awakening have greater sway over our rational faculties due to the overpowering of
the prefrontals during peak kundalini flow. Going-with the contents that are arising
allows a greater depth and roundedness of human experience and self knowledge...
we can get further INTO ourselves as “process” during kundalini than at any other
time, when the constraints of ego and culture have greater hold over us. That is we
have greater potential to open to grace and rise above conformity.
Process work and uncovering work such as holotropic breathing or Rosen
Method are an essential part of the mix to a “lived” experience of what it is to
be human, rather than a rational thinking machine. Since we are so conditioned
to not rock the boat and so live false lives in the name of a stagnant peace, I
am wondering if it is not very hard to actually allow “madness.” Madness, that
is breaking away from the constraints of consensus reality, often has far greater
“sanity” than pernicious codes of social repression and silence. The “process” of
the unraveling these insane repressive mechanisms and of addressing what is truly
real, is a spontaneous journey of soul recovery and the revelation of the life of
soul. One could say that whatever arises on this hero’s journey is not mysterious,
but an inevitability of Necessity, for nothing can remain hidden from the soul.

Voice Dialogue—One of the most holistic and comprehensive forms of
process work available is Voice Dialogue. According to the founders of this system,
Hal and Sidra Stone, we have a myriad of selves within us, each with their own
interests, thoughts, feelings, opinions and energies. These sub-personalities, voices,
or aspects of our consciousness, often have a great influence on our lives and our
daily choices. Our selves are born at various stages in our developmental process to
interpret and adapt to the demands and desires of our family environment, with
the ultimate goal of protecting us and helping “The Whole Self ” survive.
