Book Cover & Preview Text
After performing her Yoga poses, she felt stronger; she sat in Padmasana, and closed her eyes. Immediately a vision of fire filled up her inner world. Kundalini Shakti was now her best friend, and was dancing in the middle of the fire, saying: “This isss the fire that burns away all impuritiesss. Everything that happens in your life is for you to become golden like the sssun. Follow me.” Padma was determined to follow her no matter what. Much to her surprise, the fire was not burning hot. She felt very alive, with a power she had never experienced before and which made her swell with self-confidence. Something was guiding her from her solar plexus, the area above the bellybutton. “It must be the creative power of the Universe,” she thought.
