The conversation explored the significance of dharma, the role of discipline in spiritual practice, and the transformative power of selfless service and love. The episode also touched on the mystical experiences across various traditions and the universal pursuit of knowing the infinite. Lawrence emphasized the importance of courage and dedication in navigating the spiritual path, the necessity of teachers, and the ultimate goal of helping all beings achieve freedom from suffering.
About Lawrence: Lawrence Edwards is a neurotherapist, psychotherapist, and an expert in Kundalini Awakening, our innate power of Consciousness that creates the highest order of transformation and revelation. This power is the foundation of all yogic, mantra and meditation practices. Lawrence is regarded by many as a modern mystic known for his love of the Divine. He is unusual in this field because he has a deep grounding in both Eastern and Western traditions, and applies them both to his work with Kundalini.

His experiences began early in life and he says Kundalini’s grace continues to be the essence of his life. Lawrence is the president of The Kundalini Research Network, as well as the founder of a Kundalini support website, KundaliniSupport.org. He is the founder and director of the Anam Cara Foundation and a contributing author to the Sounds True anthology Kundalini Rising: Exploring the Energy of Awakening.
Lawrence has practiced and taught meditation for over 46 years and has been on the faculty of New York Medical College since 1998. He is the author of the critically acclaimed book on Kundalini, The Soul’s Journey: Guidance From The Divine Within and Kali’s Bazaar.
