“Carleen’s memoir allows for a blend of mystical curiosity with the ordinariness of being human and our inner desire for personal growth. The way she integrates personal stories with the stories we come to live as patterns is a work of art.”

As she slowly explained her Kundalini Awakening through the memories & vignettes, my appreciation grew not just for her transformation but for her depth of knowledge. Carleen enmeshed Eastern Spirituality with the West and used beautiful anecdotes from Buddhism, Taoism, and Yoga to enlighten the reader. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, its style, and its depth.
