My name is Anna. I think I have always had a sense of the numinous. I had my first mystical experience that I can remember at age 6, and a kind of Satori experience on the top of a mountain (literally) when I was 14, but it was when I was 30 (33 years ago now) that I had a massive, shocking, glorious, life-changing Kundalini awakening. It was classic, but I had no idea what it was. My background was Judeo-Christian and while I had been speaking in tongues and hearing celestial music and experiencing various phenomena, nothing had prepared me for what happened. I didn't know what it was for about 20 years afterwards, either. The first awakening involved an explosion of energy from my base through the top of my head, white light like nothing you see on Earth and ecstacy and beyond. And as it happened, my bible (yes, at the time I was a committed Christian) fell open on the Song of Songs (the mystical, erotic Judeo-Christian text par excellence). Nothing was ever the same: my whole experience of reality shifted and entered all sorts of very elated and very frightening states and experiences. I have walked the path unaided for decades, opening more and more deeply to layer after layer of awakening, ethical transformation and the evolution of a kind of depth spirituality that is not aligned with any tradition in particular. I was absolutely delighted to discover Julie — who 'assessed' me (thanks Julie!) and now I'm here to join with others on this incredible path. I'd love to 'meet' you — so do reach out if you feel moved to do so. I'll keep it all short and stop here xx

Hello Anna and thank you for sharing your story. I was also delighted to discover Julie on my journey! It's interesting you mention your Bible because the following Bible verse, which I reflected on for many months, was very much part of my initial experience: 2 Corinthians 6:11-13
Dear, dear Corinthians, I can’t tell you how much I long for you to enter this wide-open, spacious life. We didn’t fence you in. The smallness you feel comes from within you. Your lives aren’t small, but you’re living them in a small way. I’m speaking as plainly as I can and with great affection. Open up your lives. Live openly and expansively! (The Message).
