This Evening Class is Part 3 of the 3-part series to develop your parasympathetic dominance.
Toggle with your sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system in this class. Focus on breathing itself because any activity you otherwise do autonomically that you do consciously is a powerful thing to balance the central nervous system.
To actually relieve the deep stress from your body you need to place a greater stress on the body. That is the foundation of kundalini yoga. Vacation does not relieve tension. More tension relieves tension.
Replenish your reserve force in this class so that way when you take yourself to the limit you have a reservoir.
Pranayam, known as anti-stress breath (13:22) to help you release a lot of stress layer by layer from the central nervous system followed by a yoga set  (27:07) including push-ups and bundle rolls (40:07) to break up tension. Gong relaxation (43:38). 31 minutes Shabad Kriya Meditation, also known as the Kriya to help you love better, fight better, and sleep better (51:50).

This Evening Class is part 2 of 3 of this Parasympathetic Rejuvenation series, and we continue to dive into the next level of the rest and relaxation response of the nervous system.

This class is divided into three sections, each encapsulated by the ancient and relaxing sound of the gong. Work through cat/cow, alternate nostril breathing, Shabad Kriya, Sat Kriya and others to prepare the body for true rest and deep sleep.

Shabad Kriya and Sat Kriya, in particular, are wonderful meditations to have in your toolbox. They can prevent panic attacks, ease anxiety and create consistently better sleep states. From yogic practitioners to artists to creative seekers, humanity has been searching for states of ecstasy and bliss through Earth’s history. In other words, we have all been looking for the states of being when we are in parasympathetic dominance. Practice these powerful sets to access this state of relaxation no matter what has happened throughout your day.
Alternate Nostril breathing (19:01) followed by pranayam (38:39) to open the heart and the Sat Kriya workout (45:01) for your mental and physical performance. Shabad Kriya (58:52) and feel a deep buzz as you shift into parasympathetic dominance.

This Evening Class is the first in a 3-class series to work with the parasympathetic nervous system.

Move from common chronic states of stress into the parasympathetic nervous system, where the body can rest, heal and feel happiness.

The miracles and bliss of life happen when we are relaxed. Even the smallest moments from having a conversation with someone, to our ability to sleep is impacted by the stress response of the nervous system. Utilize mental focus, breath, mantra and the technology of Kundalini Yoga to move in and out of active and relaxed states at will. This is the pragmatic key to a better life.
Rejuvenate yourself in the auspicious energy of eclipse season. Use the technology of the neck lock to negate the sympathetic nervous overdrive posture. It makes you more relaxed so you can be more creative, communicate better, have an orgasm, etc. You have the technology with kundalini yoga to be in parasympathetic dominance. Develop the adept skill to turn on your relax switch at any time.

Your internal resources have to be developed when the external pressure is on. Your nervous system, a top resource, can hold you in a mood of reactionary stress (sympathetic) or calm (parasympathetic). The whole world is sympathetically dominated: what’s happening now? What’s next? Where’s the next place I have to be? When’s the next shoe going to drop? We have the tools to reset ourselves in Kundalini yoga. The gong affects your nervous system directly. When played wrong, it sets you into nervous anxiety, flight-or-fight mode. When played well it’ll put you into instant parasympathetic rejuvenation. Pranayama and meditation also give you the ability to reset yourself. You can shift from sympathetic to parasympathetic instantly, allowing you to handle any scenario, no matter the pressure.

“The most powerful people in the world know how to stay relaxed in extenuating circumstances. And that is parasympathetic dominance or sympathetic strength. So we want to develop this because also, all of the things that you think that you want… they’re going to require more of everything. There’ll be more whatever it is – more money, more love, more accolades, more whatever – but that’s going to require more of YOU. If the internal power you have doesn’t meet the external pressure, what is that? Stress.” – GJ

We work with the subconscious so that the way we live our life reflects our conscious desires. If it takes 8.4 million lifetimes to get to your current human form, you deserve to make the most of your incarnation and find your destiny path. Every lifetime you have the chance to cross paths with your teacher, and if you develop your intuition you won’t miss it. That’s part of your job, as a yogi in this era – you have to develop a personal quality and skillset around your intelligence, so your intuition helps you stay on the destiny path.

There are lots of things that can knock you off your path, especially in the Aquarian age. As you develop your spirituality, you become more sensitive. You have to learn how to optimize your system in this age. The more sensitive you get, the more the subconscious wants to freak out and numb itself. But if you work on the nervous system, you can learn to make educated, sovereign choices about the way you act. A Kundalini yoga practice gives you pranic reserve – you’re not taking a deep breath just to inhale, you’re creating a reserve of energy, of chi. Then when the challenges of life arrive, you can tap into that reserve and avoid freak outs or nervous breakdowns. Neuroses is a shallow, arhythmic breathing pattern. When you can control your breath, you can control yourself.

“We have a very revolutionary time on this planet – we have very sensitive souls that have reincarnated here, and you’re one of them. You have to understand, you’re on a quest to optimize that very sensitive system you have. And there are things that are helping, and things that are depleting you. Your job in this age as an intelligent person is to be honest about it.” – GJ

RA MA New York Residency, class, mediation & Gong.

The great period on the planet mediations work with the grey matter of your brain, which we need to develop to become a problem solver instead of a problem maker. Transitions happening on this planet requires the development of the human brain. The world needs the genius of high velocity brains to solve the problems of this world. A clear mind gives you the energy the world needs. Your presence becomes a problem solver. The frontal cortex structurally changes after 40 days of meditation.
If you meditate for 6 weeks, the grey matter structurally changes and grows, allowing us to handle the demands of this time. The true adaptogen is parasympathetic dominance of our nervous system. Most people are in their sympathetic nervous system which does not allow for the command of the nervous system and the endocrine system, preventing us from choosing the right action.
Sodarshan Chakra Kriya helps knit the grey matter back together from the damage we have done to ourselves. This fundamental mediation develops the grey matter.
