Mindful pleasures..... As the words turn.

This Terrance kid gets a bad rap, huh? It seems we are all a little ish, nicht wahr?

My name is a Tristero Rapid Post reference. Nothing wrong with some nacreous opacity.

Your limpid lifestyle I am sure is appreciated by Google. See, I get ads for stuff I already bought—very annoying. 

And I'm still not sure what kundalini is... this sucks.

Once that awakening happens meditation becomes autopilot.  Kundalini becomes the  pilot.  The goddess Kali is very closely associated with Kundalini, a very powerful female force.  It is the essence of Tantra.
