The Kundalini Poems: Reflections of Radiance and Joy Paperback -

Dorothy Walters, Ph.D., spent most of her early professional life as a professor of English literature in various Midwestern universities. She helped to found one of the first women's studies programs in this country and served as the director of this program for many years. After an extended residence in San Francisco, she now lives and writes in Colorado. She underwent major Kundalini awakening in 1981, a phenomenon totally unfamiliar to her as well as to most of her contemporaries at the time. Since then she has devoted her life to researching and writing about this subject and to witnessing the unfolding of this process within herself as well as assisting others on a similar path through writing and other means. As someone who made her extensive journey without the direction of any external leader or guru, church or established order, she is a strong believer in the "guru within," the inner guide rather than the external authority figure or institution. Walters feels that universal Kundalini awakening is the means for planetary and personal evolution of consciousness, and that evidence of planetary initiation is becoming more and more prevalent. Her Kundalini awakening and subsequent process of unfolding are described in her memoir Unmasking the Rose, A Record of a Kundalini Initiation. Her poems, which have been published in several volumes, included in anthologies and journals, have also been set to music and sung at the Royal Opera House in London and Harvard University, used as texts for sermons, included in doctoral projects and have given inspiration to many. Dorothy Walters often gives counsel and referral free of charge to those undergoing spontaneous Kundalini awakening and spiritual transformation.
