Emma Bragdon, Ph.D.
Current Triggers of Kundalini Awakening
Integration is the subject of this warm and clear presentation by
therapist Bragdon: how to incorporate transpersonal experience into
a balanced and productive life. The challenge can be overwhelming;
experiences of awakening may disrupt our normal functioning in the
world, especially if a foundation or "container" of personal and social
stability is lacking. Using Wilber's prepersonal-egoic-transpersonal
developmental spectrum and Mindell's process-oriented psychotherapy,
Bragdon develops a model of spiritual evolution that recognizes the need
for both order and transcendence. Illustrated with intriguing case
histories, this talk offers helpful assistance on the difficult journey
toward a more conscious way of being that is both balanced and awake.

Energies Of Transformation : A guide to the Kundalini Process
Assessing and Integrating Kundalini Process: A Clinical Perspective
In this "pragmatic workshop", therapist Greenwell, author of Energies of
Transformation: A Guide to the Kundalini Process, offers suggestions on
how to identify the kundalini awakening experience and help people move
through its processes. Although no two experiences are alike, Greenwell
describes seven characteristics frequently present and suggests ways of
assisting in the often chaotic and lengthy process of moving through the
awakening. A clear and informative discussion.
Kundalini: Chaos or Completion?
Therapist Greenwell offers an in-depth look at the kundalini experience,
noted by the ancients yet still little-understood today. Utilizing
research for her book The Energies of Transformation, as well as
personal experience, Greenwell describes some of the most common
characteristics of kundalini awakening and offers basic guidelines for
assisting the process in oneself and others. Spirituality is intimately
connected to bodily energies, says Greenwell, and in the proper context
these energies can lead to a lifetime of personal development.
Christina Grof
The Stormy Search for the Self
A good overview of the phenomenon of spiritual emergence: What is it?
What sort of events typically trigger it? How is it different from
mental illness? What are the best strategies for working with it?
Christina Grof shares her difficult experience and describes other case
histories to illustrate stages in the process of emergence to a higher
level of awareness. The often disturbing symptoms of spiritual emergence
are really a pathway to greater wholeness and authentic existence. This
new understanding welcomes emergence as guide and teacher and recognizes
it as a common experience, to be worked with as a path to greater
freedom and well-being when its emergent energies are allowed to lead
the transformation.

Bonnie Lee Hood, Ph.D.
Perils of the Path
Hood tells the story of her own cataclysmic spiritual awakening and
presents a model of the death and rebirth in spiritual emergency.
It can be terrifying when all familiar levels of experience are
broken through but if the process is allowed to unfold it can be
healing and transforming - moving the person to higher levels of
awareness and integration. Hood's careful study of spiritual
emergency discusses precipitating causes, stages of the process
and the recovery that can occur with complete surrender.

Infinite Mind: Science of the Human Vibrations of Consciousness
She places different altered states of consciousness along a

Jyoti (Jeanine Prevatt, Ph.D.)
Types of Spiritual Emergency
Prevatt, former director of the Spiritual Emergence Network,
presents her typology of ten categories of spiritual emergence.
From kundalini awakening and shamanic crisis to near-death
experiences and encounters with UFO's Prevatt outlines a vast
and mysterious field of profoundly transformative non-ordinary
experiences. Prevatt shares her own dramatic experiences and
encourages openness in the presence of these unfamiliar visitations
for they come, she says, to heal and teach and awaken. With courage
and trust in Mother Shakti these remarkable journeys can be an
extraordinarily valuable adventure.

Making a Place in the DSM-IV for Spiritual Emergency
Transpersonal psychology meets mainstream psychiatry in this
story of the attempt to win recognition for spiritual experience
in the paradigm-defining diagnostic manual the DSM, soon to
undergo a major revision. The four presenters on this panel
examine different aspects of the controversy: the issues around
DSM categorization, the status of research on psychospiritual
anomalies, criteria for distinguishing spiritual emergence from
mental illness, etc. Of interest to clinicians and others seeking
more appropriate diagnostic categories.

Claudio Naranjo, M.D.
The Kundalini Process and the Hero's Journey
The kundalini phenomenon is really inseparable from the process
of human development says psychiatrist Naranjo and he illustrates
his view through archetype and myth, the deep levels where
transformation takes place. Tales such as the Iliad and the Odyssey,
the legends of Osiris and the plumed serpent Quetzalcoatl speak of
voyage and return, descent to the depths and return with treasure.
Contact with this deep energy sets the stage for a new body and
consciousness, bringing darkness into light, freeing the dragon of our
being. A wide-ranging presentation blending myth with biology for a new
understanding of the meaning of emergence.

Max Schupbach, Ph.D.
Cataclysmic Energy Behind Bodily Symptoms
A warm and witty presentation by Swiss psychologist Schupbach. Working
in the process-oriented therapy of Arnold Mindell, Schupbach stresses
the wisdom of bodily symptoms. Unpredictable as they may be, symptoms
are really a developmental process seeking expression. We should trust
the symptoms and in their own way they will lead us to heightened states
of being. Surrendering to the symptoms is the path to expanded identity,
beyond the limits of the rational mind. Schupbach's portrait of this
intelligent universal energy seeking expression is fascinating and
compelling.

Energetic Transmutations in the Kundalini Process
In this thoughtful presentation Sovatsky, director of the Kundalini
Clinic, offers a tantric yoga for our time. Going deeply into emotion
permits reunion with the ground of our existence. Feeling is really the
power of reality emerging through us, whether in joy or pain. Faithfully
opening to our experience, it becomes universal energy, deepening our
being with its radiant truth. Sovatsky discusses yogic techniques of
chant and breathing, and powerfully demonstrates what a kundalini
emergence is like.

hmmmm... please give example of one such *absolute* truth ????..and by
the way... how can something be both a *belief* and <in> Truths < which
are abbsolute > .... sounds like an oxymoron to me !!!
*gravity* might qualify... < as such an absolute > if I toss a brick out
of a 10th floor window it will *always* fall *down* towards the
ground... however if I toss a paper airplane down... hmmm sometimes it
is caught up by the wind currents ....does it *always* touch the ground
eventually ??? Have ya gone and looked at each and every one of them to
verify it ??? I have seen *my* paper airplanes sometmes head for the
moon, as I sit and dream on my 10th floor balcony.... yea yea yea...I
know the trajectory of a falling item is dependent on its mass... But
how about if I toss a trained carrier pidgeon out the window ???? Or how
about when I am beyond the gravitational pull of Earth....there ain't no
gravity there ... In order for it to be a *universal* truth... it MUST
be true under ALL circumstances... no anomalies allowed in Universal
Truths *grin*
So are you defining your *absolutist* truth by feedback of the 5 sense
oriented illusion of this 3-dimensional world ????
If you are.... please explain this *known* phenomena < ask any cop > ...
why 5 witnesses to the same accident will give 5 different versions ????
Is there something actually *wrong* with their sensory aparatus ??? Or
are they Perceiving
and Translating what they perceive through their own *agenda* ??? < ie.
Belief systems, past experiences, emotions, et cet > ??????
You say you are a fundamentalist... please explain to me what Jesus

Mt 8:13... or how Jesus healed ????
