What This Is

This is not passive spirituality waiting for enlightenment to arrive someday.

This is the awakening of Kuṇḍalinī Śakti — the living force at the center of all genuine spiritual transformation. This is advanced meditation where you touch Sat-Chit-Ānanda — pure existence, pure consciousness, pure bliss. This is conscious out-of-body exploration of multidimensional realms. These are not separate practices. They are different expressions of the same awakening force — each one igniting the others.

Not as concepts to study. As states to enter. Repeatedly. Until the recognition becomes stable.

I teach mainly through Four Pillars:

Direct experience reshapes your reality. And you can learn how to access these states of consciousness deliberately — and at will.

Who This Is For

Maybe you've been meditating for decades, and the practice has gone flat. You're going through the motions, but the fire is gone.

Maybe Kuṇḍalinī Śakti has awakened. You feel the energy moving and need guidance on how to integrate it.

Maybe you've had spontaneous out-of-body experiences, an OBE, but don't know how to recreate the experience — or you've had vivid lucid dreams and sense you're right at the edge.

Maybe you're already leaving your body nightly — you actually are — and don't even realize it. You visit multidimensional realms but can't remember them in the morning.

Maybe you're a serious meditator looking for practices that actually produce results — not more concepts to collect, but techniques that open doorways.

Maybe you've had a near-death experience, also known as an NDE, and you're searching for a framework that makes sense of what you encountered.

Who I Am

Don Lee Daniels (Swami Jñānānanda Saraswati), 1980 

I'm Don Lee Daniels, and I was formally initiated in 1980 as Swami Jñānānanda Saraswati into the ancient Saraswati Order. I trained in the lineage of Bhagawān Nityānanda, grounded in Nondual Śaiva Tantra (NST) and Vedānta. At nineteen, Kuṇḍalinī Śakti awakened. Energy exploded at the base of my spine, and my awareness shot out through the top of my head — my first conscious out-of-body experience. I found myself hovering above my childhood home, fully conscious, fully awake, made of light. Within the next two years, I sold my beloved 1972 Firebird and boarded a one-way flight to India. After returning to the West, I earned a B.A. in Psychology, magna cum laude, and a Master's Degree (M.S.) in Educational Technology, and spent decades teaching psychology, comparative religion, and meditation to thousands of students. I also worked for three years in a psychiatric ward, where I learned firsthand the importance of grounding powerful spiritual experiences in psychological reality. But through all of that, I continued practicing. Advanced meditation — where you experience glimpses of Sat-Chit-Ānanda, stages of samādhi, the state of turīya. Conscious out-of-body exploration (OBE), known as the tandra state in ancient yogic texts and as dream yoga in Vajrayana Tibetan Buddhism. Working with Kuṇḍalinī Śakti. Not as separate paths, but as three expressions of the same awakening force that ignite each other.

"I've left my body hundreds of times. Consciously. Intentionally. I've experienced states of samādhi, turīya, Sat-Chit-Ānanda — not as philosophy, but as lived reality."

Don Lee Daniels, present day

 I belong to what's called a Chaitanya lineage — a living stream of consciousness in which Śakti can be transmitted through many forms: presence, teaching, the written word, the spoken word, audio, and video. Consciousness moves through form to reach ready hearts.

This work is offered in that spirit.
