Her writings are the outcome of many years of Kundalini experience - from initial awakening through the resultant, progressive process of ever-increasing, integrative wholeness.

- From the Foreword by Master Charles Cannon

With a growing shift in the consciousness of the world today, the awakening of the Kundalini energy and unusual experiences associated with the process during meditation, have become more widespread. Yet, many questions remain and misconceptions abound. This book provides answers to some of the experiences and doubts that arise in such a spiritual practice. All the questions raised and answered in this book are from real-life events.

Santosh Sachdeva has undergone and intensively experienced the workings of the Kundalini energy. This was documented in her Kundalini Trilogy consisting of Conscious Flight into the Empyrean, Kundalini Diary and Kundalini Awakening. These three books represent a unique and unprecedented contribution to Kundalini literature, with unparalleled illustrative detail on the unfolding of the process. This book is once again a unique contribution to Kundalini writing as, earlier, such credible and authentic advice was normally available only with reclusive masters. There may be something in this book – a question or an experience – that you could relate to as you may have had a similar doubt or experience. Hopefully, the answer will help you on your onward spiritual journey.

Also included are relevant comments by Master Charles Cannon, an American mystic and disciple of Siddha Yoga Master, Swami Muktananda Paramahansa, which offer a contemporary understanding of the subject

If you have picked up this book, you are probably at some stage of Kundalini awakening and are seeking answers to, and reassurance on, the process of its unfolding. If so, you will perhaps find your answers in this book.

Many years ago, during a visit to Mumbai, India, I met Santosh Sachdeva in person. I had known her for several years through her children and had interacted with her in relation to her books on Kundalini. Meeting Santosh in person validated my distant experience of her. She radiated a unified presence, the hallmark of fully actualised Kundalini experience. Her writings are the outcome of many years of Kundalini experience – from initial awakening through the resultant, progressive process of ever-increasing, integrative wholeness.

Santosh is also a lovely woman who selflessly shares her experience and serves as a guide for many on the evolving path of Kundalini Yoga. I am thus honoured to write this Foreword to this book of questions and answers about Kundalini culled from her experience of many years.

My guru, Swami Muktananda Paramahansa, was a Kundalini adept. For twelve years, he personally trained me in the art and science of Kundalini Yoga. He often reminded me that while it was relatively easy to awaken Kundalini energy, it was the mark of the master to guide it to its culmination in substantiated wholeness, or the experience of unified consciousness. Santosh validates this time-honoured principle as she masterfully guides her students through this intricate and transformative journey.

It is further stated, in the classical tradition of Kundalini Yoga, that the authentic Kundalini master must fulfil specific qualifications. First, he or she must be substantiated in the state of unified consciousness which is validated by their holistic presence. Secondly, their unified state of being must serve as the empowerment that awakens and guides the Kundalini energy in their disciples. And thirdly, they must be thoroughly trained under the empowering guidance of a Kundalini guru, and thoroughly knowledgeable about all aspects of the evolving Kundalini experience. In my humble opinion, Santosh Sachdeva thoroughly fulfils all these qualifications as is evidenced not only in her writings, but also in the very living of her daily life and her interactions with those she empowers, awakens and guides.

Since the release of Conscious Flight into the Empyrean, Kundalini Diary, and Kundalini Awakening, three of my books that form The Kundalini Trilogy, there has been a constant flow of questions regarding the mystery of Kundalini; how it works and the risks involved in practising Kundalini meditation and yoga. Some readers sent in letters and emails while others came over in person to discuss their doubts and to seek clarifications.

I found it surprising that it was mostly young people between twenty-five and forty years of age who appeared to be awakening to the changes and the stirrings taking place within them. Somewhat confused and ignorant of what was happening, the first person they approached was their doctor, and sometimes, a psychiatrist.

There was a young lady who had attended a Chakra Workshop some years ago, which had led to constant headaches and other physical problems. She had visited several doctors but they could not offer any solution. The only advice I could give her was to go back to the group that had conducted the Workshop and seek their guidance. If properly guided, she would be alright.
