ABOUT THE BOOK

Energies of Transformation is a landmark psychological and spiritual study that explores the "Kundalini awakening"—a profound phenomenon often described as a surge of spiritual energy from the base of the spine. Dr. Bonnie Greenwell moves beyond purely mystical explanations to provide a balanced, Western clinical perspective, helping readers distinguish between spiritual emergence and psychological distress. The book acts as a comprehensive manual for understanding the physical, emotional, and cognitive changes that occur during this process, offering practical guidance for those experiencing its often-overwhelming effects. It remains a foundational text for transpersonal therapists and seekers alike, bridging the gap between ancient Eastern wisdom and modern Western psychology.
