Addiction, Diabetes, Digestion, Weight Gain

The Chakras are energy centers along the spine located at major branching of the human nervous system, beginning at the base of the spinal column and moving upward to the top of the skull. The study of one's Chakra system provides a source of information to practitioners and allows each individual's physical, emotional, and spiritual energy level to be assessed. The ease or difficulty with which a person performs specific yoga movements indicates to the Yogi if a chakra is "blocked" or "open." Once the condition has been determined the Yogi can choose a specific Kriya (yoga set) that will focus on one particular chakra which in turn benefits the entire body.


This story taps into Chakra three work.


I have struggled with controlling my diabetes for over 40 years. In 1995-2000 I was in 3 different car accidents due to a quick drop in my sugar levels. I was taking medication but the insulin just wasn't enough to keep my sugar levels balanced. I was at the end of my rope when Kundalini Yoga was introduced to me as a possible solution. I'm not easily convinced, but I gave it a try. Heather helped me to practice a yoga set which focused on Chakra 3. The set included fire breath, massaging digestive organs, and chanting. After 6 months I realized my sugar levels had begun to even out. I felt a shift happen in my energy level and knew I was creating a balanced life with the help of Kundlini Yoga. I believe practicing Kundalini Yoga saved my life and gave me a chance to live with this disease without being ruled by it. Half the work is in showing up for a lesson-the other half is in keeping up!
