Written by an experienced transpersonal psychologist and yogic scholar, this classic book is a synthesis of eastern and western perspectives of the ancient phenomenon known as Kundalini awakening, including 23 case studies culled from the literature and personal interviews with individuals who have found this to be a profound life-transforming experience. If you have engaged Kundalini energy, or follow practices that may awaken it, this book is written to help you understand and integrate the process physically, spiritually and emotionally. Energies of Transformation is a remarkable book full of Dr. Greenwell's own grace as well as the authority of careful research. It provides both cross-cultural clinical wisdom and practical information for the Westerner confronting Kundalini. I recommend it frequently for both experiencers and clinicians seeking to understand the complexities of the experiences. --Rima Laibow M.D. founder of the Association for the Treatment and Research of Experienced Anomalous Trauma (TREAT), Director of the Alexandria Clinic, New York. The Kundalini process is a significant feature of practical spirituality, and it highlights the fundamental mechanisms involved in spiritual growth. The present work distinguishes itself as a well-rounded presentation that is filled with fascinating case studies and valuable insights about personal growth and the spiritual process. It contains sound practical advice for those undergoing a Kundalini awakening with its often startling and troublesome symptoms and for therapists seeking to assist such individuals. I can heartily recommend this work to all spiritual practitioners and openminded clinicians. --Georg Feuerstein Ph.D., yogic scholar and author of Encyclopedic Dictionary of Yoga, Sacred Sexuality and numerous other books.
