Our sacred journey takes us along many paths, through forests and deserts of experience. . .
as we cross lifetimes on our quest for love, wisdom, power, peace and our true connection to the Source,
the Divine within, known by many names – our Buddha nature, Christ Consciousness, Great Goddess. . .
Welcome to the online home of Lawrence Edwards, PhD, author of The Soul’s Journey.
Dr. Edwards is an author, meditation teacher, retreat leader and mentor for spiritual development. He integrates the ancient wisdom from the Eastern meditative traditions with modern psychology and Jungian archetypal psychology.
Here you’ll discover the works of Dr. Edwards… you’ll also find numerous resources on meditation and spirituality.
Lawrence is a recognized expert in meditative practices and the ancient form of Kundalini yoga that unfold with its awakening. Kundalini is our innate power of Consciousness that creates the highest order of transformation and revelation. This power is the foundation of all yogic, mantra and meditation practices.

Meditation
Lawrence is regarded by many as a modern mystic known for his love of the Divine. In 2001 he founded Anam Cara Meditation, as an educational organization dedicated to teaching meditative practices from a variety of traditions, making them freely available to everyone.
On the Meditation page, you will find written meditation instructions – as well as free downloadable MP3 files of guided meditation and deep relaxation instruction. The Anam Cara Meditation YouTube Channel has videos of the Thursday night meditation programs led by Lawrence which are freely accessible to everyone via Zoom. Click HERE for the Zoom information.

Kundalini
Every spiritual tradition has its name for the power of the Infinite that compels us to seek the highest, to look beyond the mundane to know the Source, to know what transcends the mind. It is called the Holy Spirit, Shekinah, Chi, N’um, Shakti, Consciousness, and by many more names. Kundalini is the yogic term for the power of the Divine that propels us along our journey beyond the ordinary mind into the infinite expanse of unspeakable Oneness.
Many people contact Lawrence because he offers the wisdom that can only come from a life time of deep practice in the yogic, Kundalini, and Buddhist traditions – in addition to his training in Jungian depth psychology and clinical work. Lawrence was president of the Kundalini Research Network for nearly 20 years, and has taught thousands of people interested in Kundalini awakening and unfolding. This awesome, transpersonal power – Kundalini Shakti – is often misunderstood, especially in the West.
Traveling the path of Kundalini requires a truly experienced and learned mentor/guide. Kundalini-empowered meditation is one of the most potent forms of meditation and Lawrence is one of the few teachers who offers this – along with the traditional techniques and practices he teaches. He offers instruction in meditation and visualization practices that span Buddhist, Vedantic, yogic and shamanic schools and include Western transpersonal approaches that lead into the depths of archetypal experiences, visions and states of unity awareness.
Publications
While studying clinical psychology in graduate school at Temple University, Lawrence did his doctoral thesis on the extraordinary effects of Kundalini awakening and unfolding (1986). His own mystical experiences had begun in his childhood and he was able to integrate these with his doctoral research, professional training, including Jungian psychology, and his extensive training in yoga and meditation. This comprehensive perspective, grounded in personal experience, is made available through his books: The Soul’s Journey: Guidance From The Divine Within; Gently Falls Her Rain Of Light; O My Beloved; Kali’s Bazaar; and Sounds True’s publications of Awakening Kundalini: The Path To Radical Freedom and Kundalini Rising. Lawrence’s dharma talks and professional conference presentations are freely available on the Anam Cara Meditation YouTube channel. The video library is organized by playlists on various topics.
In addition to these critically acclaimed publications, Lawrence offers seminars, courses, retreats and private confidential individual consultations.
