Kundalini yoga is a spiritual and physical practice that aims to awaken the dormant energy believed to be coiled at the base of the spine. This energy, often referred to as Kundalini energy, is considered the life force or primal energy within an individual according to Hindu and yogic philosophy.
Kundalini yoga incorporates various techniques including physical postures (asanas), breathing exercises (pranayama), chanting (mantra), meditation, and the use of specific hand gestures (mudras) to activate and balance the flow of energy throughout the body.
The practice is deeply rooted in ancient Indian tradition and was popularized in the West by Yogi Bhajan in the late 20th century. Kundalini yoga is often associated with dynamic movements, rapid breathing patterns, and the repetition of mantras to stimulate energy flow and promote spiritual awareness. It's renowned for its transformative effects on both the body and mind, promoting strength, flexibility, mental clarity, and a sense of inner peace.
"In the overall population, the study findings are consistent with other studies indicating that daily cannabis use was associated with an increase in heart attack, stroke, and the combined endpoint of coronary heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. As cannabis use continues to grow in legality and access across the U.S., practitioners and clinicians need to remember to assess cannabis use at each patient encounter to have a non-judgmental, shared decision conversation about potential cardiovascular risks and ways to reduce those risks.”
In the short term, people are advised to try and maintain a sleep schedule that is sufficient for them to feel rested enough, as often as they possibly can. Keeping a fixed wake-up time, even on weekends, and going to bed when you feel sleepy will help ensure you frequently get enough restorative sleep.
