I believe that Sally was blessed with grace through Jerry Garcia as she listened to the Grateful Dead music many years ago. I trust that Jerry transmitted a beautiful and loving Spiritual grace through the medium of his music to thousands if not millions of beings. Jerry was a student of Neal Cassady, who I believe was a great and apparently overlooked spiritual leader of both the beatnik and hippy communities. Sally was also blessed with the powerful grace of Swami Muktananda who also bestowed the blessing to many many others. May these great ones be held in peace and love.
I trust that if in tribute to these great Spiritual leaders we all worked together we could make this very World a more good, true, and beautiful place for all beings. Sally and Tami seem to be doing their parts. Thank you.

I have studied with Sally for 3 years and have found her teleconferences enlightening. It all makes sense to me! Thanks you Sally for touching my life when when I need a surprise.

My kundalini awakening occurred while I was sleeping, and I was woken out of my sleep, but able to see,hear and feel this enormous energy moving slowly from the base of the spine, up.The inner ball of light I saw, was golden/white,the sound was like that of a raging crackling fire, and my body vibrated lightly, and felt the warmth of this energy. I could feel it also as radiating out past my physical body too. When it happened, I had just begun searching for spiritual answers, only 2 days before this awakening took place. The love that I experienced was profound, and I will never forget how beautiful, and at peace I was.
I never understood what had happened to me, nor did I even know that there was a name for this amazing experience. What do I do now? What does this mean? How do I maintain that type of energy? What are the best practices for me to do?
Can’t wait for part 2 so I might understand this process more. Thank you for this wonderful programme Tami xxx
