EP 14: Unlocking Kundalini: From Yoga to Energy Mastery with Colleen

**Kundalini isn't just an experience you seek; it's a natural part of human body technology.** Welcome to *The Modern Shakti Files*! In this episode, hosts Leanne Jones and Maia welcome Kundalini educator Colleen for an honest, grounded conversation about the realities of working with Kundalini energy, dismantling old identities, and navigating spiritual evolution. Colleen shares her full-circle journey—from growing up in rural Indiana to competing in pageants, teaching traditional yoga, and eventually discovering Kundalini energy in Bali. She dives deep into what it takes to open up the body's sensitivity after trauma, why female nervous systems process energy differently, and how to transition from traditional practices into direct energy mastery. Together, the hosts and Colleen explore the nuance between Eastern traditions and modern energy modalities, the trap of perfectionism in spiritual leadership, and why letting go of control is essential for true integration. ### In this episode, we cover: - Colleen’s transition from yoga instruction to deep Kundalini energy work. - How trauma and sensitivity affect energy movement in the body. - The difference between male and female energy dynamics in training and facilitation. - Decolonizing Kundalini: Understanding Kundalini as universal body technology. - Navigating life transitions, identity shifts, and embracing the "beginner’s mind". ### About Your Hosts: - **Leanne Jones:** Kundalini facilitator and energy mentor passionate about guiding individuals through awakening and embodied healing. - **Maia:** Facilitator and guide dedicated to helping people reconnect with their innate wisdom and live an enchanted, intuitive life. ### 🔗 Links & Resource Connect with Guest Colleen: Colleens Website: https://www.kundalinidevi.com/ Colleens Instagram @ kundalini\_devi Connect with Hosts Leanne & Maia Leanne’s Website: https://www.theconscioushealingcoach.com/ Leanne’s Instagram: @shakti\_embodied_ Maia’s Website: https://enchantedlifebymaia.com/meet-maia Maia’s Instagram: @enchantedlifebymaia
