@kmundnic oh, I&#x27;d like to add something here, about the &quot;missing out&quot;.<p>The first is suggesting that that wondering or doubt can be an entry point to explore something buried. You might surface up all kinds of interesting things.<p>The second is this: when Shakti pierces the 4th chakra and&#x2F;or the hrit padma (below it) ... you&#x27;ll gain a kind of &quot;compass&quot;. From there on out, you&#x27;ll always have a way of checking which path to go. It might mean staying with kundalini yoga, it might not be.<p>The journey getting to the center involves piercing through the 2nd ganthri, learning to surrender. It will be like peeling an onion. You&#x27;ll cry. A lot. And you&#x27;ll know it is worth it.<p>Whatever way you are choosing, you won&#x27;t &quot;miss out&quot;. Some paths are shorter -- and more intense -- than others. That &quot;compass&quot; is guiding you whether you are aware of it&#x27;s influence or not, more so if you are re-affirming your dedication to the discipline. You take any path to it&#x27;s ultimate end, and they all come to the same ultimate end.
