Mechtild of Magdeburg
I received this note today from a friend who is herself experiencing K. awakening, and thought I would pass her letter along to you. The area of the mystical experience and its relation to Kundalini is always a fascinating one. Many of the mystics speak of the deity as the "Beloved" and use the language of love to express their connection with the divine. One is never sure if, for them, the "Beloved" is simply a useful metaphor to express their feeling of Oneness, or whether they are actually experiencing this love in their bodies as inner rapture or bliss.
In any event, as Mary points out, the similarities with Kundalini bliss are obvious. Once more, I am reminded of the best definition of Kundalini that I have heard: "Kundalini is God moving through your body."
Hi Dorothy,
I found myself in the car today listening to a CD I've had for several years. Today the lyrics jumped out at me as never before. Wonderful expressions of kundalini energy. I'm sure you've heard these by now but just in case you haven't here's the lyrics from 3 of the songs.
Blessings,
Mary

Songs inspired by the writings of women mystics:
WOMAN Mechtild of Magdeburg
Woman, Woman,
When will you soar on the wings of your longing
To the blissful heights
Where I await your love
And if you meet Me with all your desire
I will touch you with my presence Divine
And you shall delight in body and in soul in my Love
Woman, Woman.
Come now to Me in your sighings
In your heart’s desire
For I am the One you seek
Since I am in you and you are in Me.
We are One and forever shall remain
And you shall delight in body and in soul in My Love.
Woman, Woman.
LOVE ME DEEPLY Mechtild of Magdeburg
Come, Lord
Love me deeply
Love me often
And love me long.
Come, Lord
Love me deeply
Sing to me Your Lover’s song.
For the more often You love me
The purer I become.
And the more deeply You love me
The more beautiful I am.
And the longer You love me
The holier I be.
Yes, I love you deeply,
I love you often. I love you long.
I will love you deeply
as I sing My lover’s song
Oh, Yes, I love you deeply
For this is My desire
Yes, I love you often
I can be no other way.
And I love you.
Love you, love
For I am the Eternal One
Come Lord
Love me deeply
Love me often
And love me long.
Come Lord
Love me deeply
Sing to me Your Lover’s song.
Sing to me Your Lover’s song.
GOD’S COMING Mechtild of Magdeburg
As a bird glides through the air
Without the movement of its wings
So Your love flows through me My God
And forever in my heart it sings.
And together we fly in the sweet clear air of your flowing love in me.
Gliding, soaring, one in heart,
Always ever free.
As the dew comes on the flowers
So do You come My God to me
Like the morning sun
Of the birds
You come to set my spirit free.
And together we fly in the sweet clear air of your flowing love in me.
Gliding, soaring, one in heart,
Always ever free.
As a bird glides through the air
Without the movement of its wings
So Your love flows through me My God
And forever in my heart it sings.
Oh we fly, yes we fly
Your love sings,
Yes, it sings
As we fly
Yes we fly,
Oh we fly,
Yes , we fly.
