Stress happens when inside intelligence doesn’t match outside pressure. Kundalini Yoga helps you increase your vitality to overcome anything.

To build inside intelligence you’ll learn:

- KY kriyas and meditations for any form of stress or mental instability
- How stress manifests in the body and how to recognize the linkage between your thinking and body stress patterns.
- How chronic stress — stress patterns that are not dealt with — affects the body, suppresses the immune system, and depresses the spirit.
- That your nature is to be fully vibrant, self-forgiving, and happy. It takes focus and discipline. You’ll practice digging yourself out of any predicament.
- That we’re living in particular times, the change of an epoch, a cycle of some thousands of years, and that relying on outside markers for comfort and meaning are not possible. We’re all in what’s sometimes called a “gray period.”
- You can communicate with any cell of your body and adjust your own brain chemistry.
- How to intelligently use emotions.
- How helping others helps you.
