Kundalini awakening is covered with clarity, including a discussion of symptoms and specific methods for self-pacing and regulating the inner energies to provide for progressive and safe unfoldment of abiding inner silence, ecstatic bliss and outpouring divine love - the essential characteristics of rising enlightenment.

The "AYP Enlightenment Series" makes these profound practices available for the first time in a series of concise instruction books. "Asanas, Mudras and Bandhas" is the fourth book in the series. The third in the series is "Tantra - Discovering the Power of Pre-Orgasmic Sex." The second is "Spinal Breathing Pranayama - Journey to Inner Space."
