*Please note that the Deluxe Colour Edition is textbook-sized with 7"x10" trim. It is in full colour while the Standard Edition is black and white. Serpent Rising: The Kundalini Compendium is the end-result of my 17-year Kundalini transformation journey after a full and sustained awakening in 2004 that permanently expanded my consciousness. After experiencing a complete visual upgrade that enables me to witness the Holographic nature of the world daily, I knew that what happened to me was unique. So for the next part of my life, I decided to use my gift and devote myself to learning the science of the invisible world of energy that I am intimately connected with while developing the right language skills to communicate my discoveries comprehensively. Awakening the Kundalini is part of your Soul's mission on Earth. Its ultimate purpose is to optimise your toroidal energy field (Merkaba) and transform you into a Being of Light, enabling Interdimensional travel through consciousness. Having the appropriate knowledge in this area can empower you to take control of your Spiritual Evolution and fulfil your destiny so that you can continue your journey through the Stars in your next lifetime. This is why I wrote this book. Serpent Rising: The Kundalini Compendium features everything you need to know on the topic of Kundalini, including the impact of the Ascension process on human anatomy and the role the nervous system plays, how to unlock your brain's full potential and awaken the power of your heart, and how to utilise Spiritual Healing modalities like Crystals, Tuning Forks, Aromatherapy, and Tattvas, to raise the vibrations of your Chakras. A large portion of the book is devoted to the philosophy and practice of Yoga (with Ayurveda), including a list of Asanas, Pranayamas, Mudras, Mantras, and meditations, and their instructions for use. I also discuss the Kundalini awakening and transformation process in detail, including permanent and partial awakenings, Lucid Dreaming, Siddhis (psychic powers), Out-of-Body Experiences, the role of food, water, nutrients, and sexual energy during integration, and peak events in the overall transfiguration process. Since I was the scientist and laboratory in one, this book contains all of my knowledge and experience acquired on my Spiritual journey, including essential meditations that I developed while encountering Kundalini energy stagnations and blockages. Lastly, having helped many Kundalini awakened people over the years who were "groping in the dark" looking for answers, I have included their most common questions and concerns as well. Serpent Rising: The Kundalini Compendium is a thorough and advanced exposition on the Kundalini that is a must-read for anyone interested in the subject and their Spiritual growth.
*Please note that the Deluxe Colour Edition is in full colour while the Standard Edition is in black and white The Magus: Kundalini and the Golden Dawn is the culmination of my Spiritual journey through the Western Mystery Tradition after experiencing a full and sustained Kundalini awakening. Once I joined a secret and esoteric school called the Golden Dawn, I was introduced to Ceremonial Magick-a Spiritual Alchemy practice geared towards Chakra tuning and cleansing-whose ultimate purpose is personal transformation and Enlightenment. I have found that this sacred art of energy invocation not only alleviated the intense fear and anxiety I was left with after awakening Kundalini, but it furthered my Spiritual progression tenfold in a short period. As such, I dedicated myself to mastering the entire Golden Dawn system. After leading a Golden Dawn group in Toronto, Ontario, I left the organised system but continued to teach Ceremonial Magick to other Light Seekers. I realised that the world was missing a unified and comprehensive system of Magick that combines Eastern Spirituality and the Western Mysteries, whose presentation is clear and concise, without the usual cryptic occult connotations. What emerged is The Magus-a Universal science of energy that we all partake of as human beings. You don't need to be a part of a Magickal Order to get the full benefit of being initiated into the energies of our Solar System. Everything that can be gained from Ceremonial Magick practice can be done from the comfort of your home. If you dedicate ten minutes a day to this practice, you can advance substantially in your Spiritual evolution. Ceremonial Magick exercises in The Magus are presented as part of Spiritual Alchemy programs whose aim is to help you connect with your Higher Self and tap into your highest potential as a Spiritual human being. These programs go hand-in-hand with knowledge lectures on the Qabalah, the Five Elements, the Seven Chakras, Astrology, the Tarot, Divination, meditation, Hermetic Philosophy and Alchemy, the Christian and Egyptian Mysteries, Enochian Magic, and more. The Magus also contains a wealth of knowledge concerning the Kundalini from both Eastern and Western perspectives. As your connection with your Creator strengthens through the work in The Magus, your personal power will increase, enabling you to manifest the life you always wanted. By becoming the best version of yourself, you can be the hero of your own story and experience the joy and excitement of being alive. The end-game of The Magus is the completion of the Great Work and the expansion and unification of the individual consciousness with Cosmic Consciousness.

"...Relatable, hilarious, funny stories: everything from being a wife, motherhood to family travel...LOVED IT!" Excerpt from the Introduction of The Travel Bog Diaries: "I was always desperate to be a yummy mummy. A yommy mommy.One of those parents who jogged effortlessly through the park wearing lip-gloss and a baseball cap. Pushing a baby in a three-wheeler pram. Never getting the wheels stuck in a drain. Never leaking urine from her pelvic floorBut sadly, it seemed the mummy fairy had me pegged for different things.**There are lots of other things in life I assumed I'd never be able to do. Giving birth twice without going to a hospital. (Yes.)Homeschooling my kids instead of sending them to school. (Yes.)Getting on the front page of Home and Garden. (As if.)>I know. I still can't believe I'm talking about myself when I say that out loud You see ...Up until a few years ago, I believed that people like us, like me and you, don't do things like travel the world. No.People like us sit on the toilet scrolling Pinterest. Wishing we owned an outdoor pizza oven & a pergola with fairy lights.People like us don't leave the nine to five day job & go around the world for a year. They just DON'T. The END.Do they?Yes. Apparently, they do.After years spent devouring Instagram posts about families who went on exotic vacations for a really long time, I finally did the same. Me & my family. We travelled the world.We left our house, car, clothes, the kids' friends, school work, and our nervous dog & swapped it for three hundred and sixty-five glorious (mostly glorious) days trotting around the world. And THIS is the TRUE story of what it
