Ep #5 Eric Siegel – Spontaneous Kundalini Awakening, Software Developer, Consciousness Explorer, Millennial Generation and more.
My guest today is Eric Siegel, a software developer, and Consciousness explorer who had a spontaneous Kundalini awakening before he even knew what the word Kundalini meant. He’s part of the millennial generation and has only been meditating for about 15 years. Apart from being a very intelligent, normal and well-adapted young man, he maintains a very serious and well-disciplined spiritual life while working in the world and holding a regular job. My interest in interviewing him emerged from extensive conversations we have had over the years about his meditation and specifically his experience integrating an active Kundalini into his otherwise very normal life.
While I don’t normally interview people this young, meditators with varying levels of expertise from beginners to advanced will find our conversation interesting, edifying and I believe very uplifting.
The early part of the conversation is just a warmup for the deeper and more detailed discussion in the later parts of the episode. We talk about the subtle energies of breath and mantra, the Sufi tradition and parallels with Judaism and the mystical teachings in the Old Testament. He shares his early discovery of Kundalini after being unwittingly and unexpectedly awakened and how he dealt with it on a daily basis for months until finally finding some answers to what was happening to him in a detailed book by a well-known Kundalini master, Baba Muktananda.
In our far-ranging conversation, we cover the importance of diet and lifestyle including sleep in the nurturing and efficient development of Kundalini’s potential.
The whole conversation is practice-oriented and most will find it very informative and enlightening. I hope you enjoy this conversation with Eric that was recorded at my dining room table.
