What Kundalini actually does is make us more us, which manifests as the health and focused creativity which is our birthright.

Ultimately all fears are extensions of the fear of death, which is the ultimate unknown. Many people live off the energy others, or rely on artificial means to get energy, i.e., coffee, alcohol, and sugar. Reliance on anything creates a constant state of fear. When we forge a relationship with the breath we have the means to live off our own energy, and to constantly regenerate…Where there is energy, there can be no fear.
