While sharing our experiences of meeting Kali, another of her initiates asked me when my Kundalini got activated, and here is my response:

Kundalini - I think it started getting activated in the middle 90's after I had been meditating for a few years. I started to have kriyas and sexual energy during meditation - at that time I ondered what the hell was going on, and it triggered further exploration into earth based traditions that honored sexuality... (It was also around that time I started doing some meditative exercises from the Native American sacred sexual tradition - Chuluquai Quodoshka)... The last few years on the Tex/Mex border (late 90s) I started to see a red semi circle at my third eye during meditation, and once I met Kali (after moving to SF), this turned into a snake with two heads, and then Kali's eyes (illustrations in my book Fierce Shakti/Fierce Love)...

I wonder if something wasn't activated in the 90s with all my travels to sacred sites in Mexico, and my meeting of Coatlicue there (skull headed and serpent skirted sister goddess), and now that I think about it, I had a large two headed red snake batik from an artist at one of the pyramids in my window for like 3 years - not realizing at all what the symbolism was!   And it just kept progressing until everything blew open when I met Ma Kali during a Holotropic Breathwork session. after that, everything intensified... Understanding that as well as cosmic creatrix, world mother and spirit of nature, Kali is also the kundalini at the base of the spine - i started to understand that she was literally/energetically within me. AND I found a book called The Aztec Virgin that talked about the sacred sexual mystical traditions in Mexico - really, seems it is all tied together!!!

When I talk about following the energy, sometimes I wonder if it hasn't been Kundalini Ma (in whatever form) calling me all along... because in SF the teachers I was most interested in spending time with were the ones where I could feel an energetic, kundalini rising type response when I was in their presence... Part of the reason I worked with the Qeros from Peru for the last 4 years (in SF) was the heart based energy activation I felt in their presence. part of the reason I'm here in New Orleans was the energetic trancy response I had to Voudou rituals.. I'm imagining it's the Kundalini goddess leading me  And she is leading me on a merry chase for sure!
