Kavanaugh Love is a math poem that
describes my journey through what is called a Kundalini
Awakening.
For years I had lower back pain, and
then one day I found myself doing spontaneous yoga poses
that I had no previous awareness of. At the time, I had not
yet heard of the Kundalini. But I learned. I even traveled
to India in 2007 to gain a deeper understanding of the
Yoga.
In Kundalini Yoga, the body consists of
seven energy centers called chakras. These chakras run from
the base of the spine to the crown of the head. I use my
mathematical training to relate a personal story to the
larger story of the Kundalini Shakti. The balance of
mathematics and poetry is why I refer to the work as a math
poem.
In other news, I'm engaged to a beautiful
yoga teacher. I'm from Bowie, Md. and I have two wonderful nieces.
