Lessons To My Younger Self

EP15: Kundalini Energy Explained - Awakening vs Activation, Discernment & Spiritual Safety with Colleen Grady

What is kundalini energy, and what’s the difference between a kundalini awakening and a kundalini activation? In this episode of Lessons To My Younger Self, Kundalini Educator Colleen Grady joins me for a grounded conversation on kundalini energy, spiritual awakening, nervous system regulation, and spiritual safety in modern healing spaces. Together, we explore: * the difference between kundalini awakening and kundalini activation * how kundalini energy impacts the body and nervous system * discernment in spirituality and energy healing * whether spiritual practices can become energetically unsafe * how to choose aligned healing facilitators * integration after powerful spiritual experiences * common mistakes practitioners make when holding healing spaces Colleen shares insights from 7 years of studying kundalini energy through multiple modalities, which led her to create Kundalini Arts — a training designed to help others develop a safe and embodied relationship with kundalini energy and spiritual gifts. Whether you’re new to spirituality, navigating a spiritual awakening, or curious about kundalini activation and energy healing, this episode offers a grounded and balanced perspective on transformation and inner work.

EP14: Honouring The Divine Masculine and Feminine Within

Inside each of us lives both the feminine and the masculine, two essential energies that long to be seen, valued and expressed. Too often, we lean into one and ignore the other, leaving us feeling unbalanced or incomplete. In this episode, we’ll explore how to reconnect with these parts of yourself, heal the places where one energy has been silenced, and discover the harmony that comes when both are honoured. You will gain a deeper understanding of your inner feminine and masculine, notice how imbalance can show up in your life, and explore gentle ways to nurture both energies in daily life. As you listen, you will discover how integration brings peace, power and authenticity. When you honour both the feminine and masculine within, you create space to live from wholeness. This is where true balance and inner freedom are found. If this resonates, I’d love for you to rate, review, subscribe, and share with anyone who might find it helpful.
