For Resilience and Mental Equilibrium with Guru Dharam Khalsa

This programme has been designed by Guru Dharam an expert in applying Kundalini yoga to combat the pressure, stress and challenge of life in the 21st century. It is for everyone who is ready to cultivate inner strength and a quiet mind. It is a time effective simple step by step process that takes just a few minutes to experience optimal cerebral function, alertness and a tranquil mind.

The overwhelming amount of sensory information we have to process has increased exponentially in recent years imprints on the nervous system which then needs to process, neutralize and discharge it. A build-up of this stuff reduces sensitivity while overloading your sympathetic nervous system. This Kriya manifests calm endurance and mental resilience to enable you to remain clear and balanced.

One of the common features of modern life is the reduction in physical work and outdoor pursuits. Coupled with this reduction is the increase in physical stasis in our lives. The result is poor circulation of Prana and blood creating more stagnation. This Kriya is wonderful to loosen up your upper body, release the local musculature and stimulate the flow of healing pranic force for self-healing.

This Kriya for your Frontal Lobe is a wonderful example of applied yogic neuro-psychology. It sequentially recalibrates and resets cerebral function by altering the neurochemical composition of the cranial fluid. This upgrades and aids cognitive performance. After practice your brain feels fresh, light and alert ready to meet your day.

The Set for Creativity systematically releases the second chakra to release your innate creative force, circulate it through the temple of your physical form and literally place it in the palms of your hands ready for you to delight your self and others. It awakens your sense of wonder and your capacity to excel.

This set is to enable you to build your inner resilience which is spiritual stamina. In Kundalini culture this is known as Keep Up spirit - endurance, calmness under pressure so you can Renew to Be You: ready and at your best to meet the challenges of your life.

Excessive negative thoughts create worry, anxiety, phobia, and neurosis. This meditation has a hugely therapeutic effect because you consciously accept your negative thoughts and then engage them as you inhale to the maximum. The exhale gives great relief as you expel the thought and offer it up to the divine for recycling. The continued practice replaces your inner darkness with inner light.

This practice is the perfect response to the mental overload syndrome that is a feature of modern life. Bombardment of information that has to be processed combines with our unrealistic expectations of ourselves amid a raft of rapidly changing sociological conditions to make us challenge our own concept of our self.

The modern world tends to a chaotic, volatile and unstable pattern that has to be successfully navigated. Yogis understand that stability comes from within and is a self-generated condition that this meditation creates by harmonizing the 6 Directions of North, South, East, West, Down and Up. By chanting the 6 syllables which relate to the directions your life is harmonised, balanced and protected.
