On Teachers
When I recognised that Kundalini had awoken in me, all I could think
about was finding a teacher who could help me through the transition.
Try as I might I was not able to locate a teacher who could help me.
So I had to go it alone, using only the books I could find on the subject
as guidance. Gopi Krishna’s works gave me some solace as he also did
not have a teacher despite his trying to find one. For three years I
have done things on my own and I’m doing okay, I feel I have mostly
transitioned now and I have integrated Kundalini energy into my life.
I still struggle with Insomnia, but if that is the only symptom I have
then I consider myself lucky.
Recently I have been reading Lawrence Edward’s book
Awakening Kundalini, and the section on having a teacher has struck
a chord with me. It’s not that I feel the need for a teacher now, and
am happy to be by myself, but the kindly way he speaks of the Teacher-Student
relationship, and of how one should seek a teacher to simply be free,
has altered my thoughts somewhat. I would relish a special relationship
with another awakened soul, so I guess I’m on the lookout again. If
anyone knows of a teacher in the south of England, please let me know.
