Navigating Complicated Times with Kundalini Yoga

Kundalini yoga is like a diamond in that it is so multifaceted. It’s hard to know where to begin to share the depth and breadth of this practice. I think at this point in time most of us can acknowledge that having a variety of tools to guide us in life with grace is invaluable. I have found this practice to be a highly sophisticated tool, specifically to activate and enhance one’s intelligence and discernment.

The science behind how kundalini yoga supports the ability to sit in one’s own intelligence is through the stimulation and activation of the pineal and pituitary glands. Kundalini yoga uses a variety of movements or kriyas, breath work, meditation and mantra to help these glands secrete properly. Higher consciousness is naturally supported when these glands are in balance, and this balanced state allows you to see your life situation with more clarity.

The most dramatic example I can share with you from my own life, of the clarity and inner knowing I experienced after committing to a daily practice, is the sad but stark knowing that I needed to exit my marriage of 12 years.

The activation of the frontal lobe of the brain where the pineal and pituitary secretions take place, give the mind and body a flexibility and agility. We are able to move out of the limbic fear area of the brain. When we are not operating from our old brain, we can navigate complicated times and be courageous. With our mind/body system optimized, we have the fitness to handle our personal challenges, our family issues, and even the narratives of our ancestral linage.

Kundalini is not the only tool to help us navigate life, we are blessed with many modalities to help support us. It’s one that has really spoken to my heart and I have a deep passion for sharing it with others.
