Paperback. Zustand: New. An unfiltered ride through energy awakening and finding your own damn magic.This isn't your typical book on Kundalini or energy work-there is no step-by-step guide, no grand universal truth, and definitely no spiritual perfection here. Instead, Colour Me Kundalini takes you inside the raw, very human journey of one woman's energetic awakening.From deep scepticism to modern witchery, spiritual bypassing to energetic protection, Lucie Ataya lays it all bare-with humour, heart, and zero sugar-coating.Through seven lessons shaped by real experience, she explores what it really looks like to walk a path of transformation in a world that often misunderstands it.

But it might just remind you that your lived experience is sacred, your healing is valid, and your magic is yours to reclaim and define.…
