The universe is a trickster. As we awaken we become more vulnerable raw and exposed; this can lead almost to paralysis … We need therapy for our traumatic past to the extent that our experience of deprivations or abuse cause a spanner in the works of our spiritual development.

As kundalini moves through the miasmas (repressed, damaged, latent) areas in the brain, we might feel the emotions connected with each developmental arrest… This feels like a loss of Grace.
