My experiences on Enlightenment Intensives have led to a lifelong dedication to truth. For some, this kind of devotion and inner inquiry can open the door to spontaneous releases of the powerful force known as kundalini energy. This has happened to me on several occasions over the past few decades. This article was originally written in response to a question: How does it feel to have a kundalini awakening?

Through our various experiences with kundalini, we have had many useful insights and learned a few key lessons.

Sometimes people want some clarity on the difference between the questions ‘Who am I?’ and ‘What am I?’

Both questions are designed to uncover the truth of oneself, leading to self-enlightenment or self-realisation. But the aspects of oneself that they uncover are not exactly the same.
