A raw, unfiltered memoir of altered states, spiritual awakening, and the hidden dangers few speak honestly about.

At fifteen, I broke a teacher’s nose.

At thirty-six, I could drop a stranger into a trance with a handshake.

At forty, an invisible force detonated inside my skull. The light of a billion suns.

This is a witness account. The lessons are written in the wreckage. Hypnosis to Kundalini is Jeremy Wheeler’s unflinching memoir, thirty years in the making, tracing a path from stage hypnosis and hypnotherapy into the destabilising terrain of meditation, Kundalini awakening, and the modern spiritual marketplace.

It begins in addiction and ends in silence.

Between those points lie obsession, power, surrender, confusion, disillusionment, and hard-won integration.

Inside this book, you will encounter:

• The psychology of trance, influence, and hypnotic control from the inside

• The hidden risks of stage hypnosis and altered-state practices taken too far

• A candid exposé of the spiritual marketplace, where authority is assumed and certainty is performed

• What happens when awakening arrives before you are ready

• The difference between having an experience and integrating it

This book is not for the comfortable. It is for those who have gone too far into altered states and found something they could not explain. For those who sat at the feet of a teacher and felt something quietly wrong. For those who experienced something real and were given no honest language for it.

If hypnosis, meditation, breathwork, NLP, shamanic practice, or intensive energy work left you with more questions than answers, this book may feel uncomfortably familiar.

Most books in this space are written from the perspective of attainment. This one comes from the other side of it.

Experiences do not liberate. Integration does.
