Author Description

At fifteen, Jeremy Wheeler punched his teacher hard enough to break his nose. At thirty-six, he could drop a stranger into a trance with a handshake. At forty, something detonated inside his skull — what he describes as the light of a billion suns. Hypnosis to Kundalini is the raw, unfiltered memoir of a man who stumbled into the hidden world of consciousness — and nearly didn’t come back. From a troubled childhood in Bath, England, marked by poverty and physical punishment, to becoming a professional stage hypnotist commanding rooms of strangers, to the shattering experience of a spontaneous Kundalini awakening, this is a story that refuses easy answers. Jeremy walks away from a £50,000-a-year career in 1990 to chase something he cannot name. What follows is a decades-long odyssey through the underground worlds of clinical hypnosis, stage performance, meditation retreats, Shaktipat transmissions, Tantric lineages, and encounters with gurus both genuine and dangerous. Along the way he confronts the ethics of influence and the fragile line between awakening and breakdown — asking questions the modern spiritual marketplace rarely dares to raise. This is not a how-to manual. It is a witness account — honest, sometimes uncomfortable, and deeply personal — for anyone who has ever suspected that the surface of life is not the whole story.
