Tara holds an M.A. in Education and has post-graduate qualifications in gestalt therapy, body awareness therapy, and transpersonal therapy. She is a fully qualified and licensed psychotherapist and counselor. Tara has worked as a drug counselor, counselor for adolescents, and general psychotherapist since 1988. Tara has been a dedicated Buddhist practitioner since 1986. In 1997 she received encouragement from her Buddhist teacher Rigdzin Shikpo to teach meditation to others. In 2002 her Buddhist teacher Venerable Garchen Rinpoche also encouraged her to teach. Tara has since taught ongoing meditation groups and combines Buddhist wisdom and her experience in counseling when assisting her clients with their personal growth, self-development, and improvement. Since 2011 Tara has specialized in helping people suffering from kundalini syndrome. Some points covered in this conversation: • Kundalini can be scary if you don’t know what it is: consciousness expansion. • ‘Higher consciousness healing’ to facilitate the process of kundalini awakening. • Kriyas (involuntary movements) may happen in the beginning phase of kundalini awakening. We shouldn’t repress or encourage them. • Traumas get stored in specific parts of the body. The physical body is permeated by an energy body, in which we feel our thoughts and emotions, including our ‘unconscious’ thoughts. • How different traumas reside in different chakras. • Kundalini is a subtle psycho-spiritual process. • Four levels of spiritual practice. • For balanced development, it’s important to continue working with the chakras, particularly the lower ones, even after reaching a high state of consciousness. • The importance of infusing bliss into all the chakras and purging them of negativity. • The foundational importance of morality and ‘loving kindnesses.’ • Being authentic and honest, even if the world doesn’t appreciate it. • According to Buddhism, evolution continues on subtler levels after enlightenment. • Deification in Tibetan Buddhism. • Mental health issues and kundalini symptoms can coexist. • Kundalini awakenings are always accompanied by a strong spiritual motivation. • The importance of regular routines. • It’s extremely rare for kundalini to cause mental health issues, and only then if one has a disposition for that. • Psychedelic drugs can cause problematic kundalini awakenings. • The importance of preparedness before pursuing advanced teachings.
