Dr. Lawrence Edwards is a world renowned expert on Kundalini who's knowledge isn't based simply on being learned in the ancient yogic scriptures and texts related to Kundalini. His personal, direct, life-long experience of the extraordinary power and grace of Kundalini are reflected in his writings, teaching and poetry. His experiences began early in life and he says Kundalini's grace continues to be the essence of his life.
Lawrence did his doctoral research on Kundalini at Temple University where he was honored with a fellowship as a University Scholar. He had the good fortune to be the disciple of the great Kundalini Yoga master Swami Muktananda and to serve his successor, Gurumayi, for many years. He has been sought out by yoga teachers, psychologists, psychiatrists, researchers and seekers from around the globe seeking guidance and support through the tranformative process of Kundalini awakening and true yoga. His background and training also includes Buddhist practices. Early on he received teachings from Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche and later from His Holiness the Dalai Lama, His Eminence Tsewang Seetar Rinpoche, and Geleck Rinpoche.
Currently he serves as the President of the Kundalini Research Network, an international organization for gathering and sharing information and research related to Kundalini. He is the Founder and Director of The Anam Cara Meditation Foundation, a 501 (C) 3 non-profit educational organization dedicated to teaching meditative practices from various traditions. His website thesoulsjourney.com has additional information on retreats, programs and publications he offers.
His book, The Soul's Journey: Guidance From The Divine Within, has won critical acclaim for the deep wisdom and reverence for Kundalini that it conveys to the reader. His additional works, Awakening Kundalini: The Path To Radical Freedom which is in both a book format and 7.5 hour CD audio program, and Kali's Bazaar penned by Kalidas, have received extraordinary reviews. Awakening Kundalini: The Path To Radical Freedom serves as a guide for experienced and novice practitioners alike. The book and CDs complement each other and have different content covering guided practices, integration of Kundalini into everyday life, and deepening and expanding one's understanding and experience of Kundalini Shakti.
