Kundalini Beyond the Myths — On the Power Behind All Awakenings

In this in-depth conversation with the Kundalini Collective, Igor Kufayev traces the extraordinary journey of his Kundalini awakening—from profound childhood and personal losses, and spontaneous spiritual opening to the stabilisation of awakened awareness and the recognition of Śiva as the ground of Being. Along the way, he explores what Kundalini truly is, clarifies the distinction between Prāṇotthāna and Kuṇḍalinī, and discusses Kashmir Śaivism, Sahaja Samādhi, and the integration of awakening into ordinary life. Recorded between London, England and Mallorca, Spain, April 2026.
