Y’ALL. I don’t know about you, but this year has been a doozy. Particularly this past month where it feels like things have been getting busier and busier.

What I’ve been asking myself lately is this: how do we keep our wits about us as empire crumbles? How do we stay grounded and not lose our minds? How do we allow ourselves to flow with the tectonic shifts and upheavals of today’s times?

For the past two or so months, I’ve been noticing that I’ve been a little short-tempered, impatient, easily agitated, and discombobulated. And I’m like: what IS going on? Is it the midlife experience? Is it raising teenage girls? Is it the world on fire? I thought to myself: Usually I’m able to hold myself steady. I’m able to avoid getting hooked into the drama of others. Why is that not happening? What’s different?

And then I realized: I haven’t been practicing Kundalini yoga. I haven’t been engaged in my daily sadhana (which means “practice”). There just hasn’t been any time. My life has become a series of running around here and there and then just crashing very late at night, just to wake up early and do it all over again. Like a hamster on his wheel. (RIP Spam, my first pet hamster.)

I was falling into old habits of believing that there was not enough time for spiritual connection. Not enough time for sitting with myself and being in my body. Which, I am well aware, is a lie.

The thing is, the material world, in particular the patriarchal capitalist system that we live in, will tell us that there is no time for anything except for “getting things done” (aka: be productive; produce results) (ugh! I just gagged a little while I typed that.)

This is a lie. How do I know? From firsthand lived experience.

When one meditates or practices some form of spiritual connection (like yoga or breathwork or even a simple prayer), time tends to expand. Not only during the practice itself, but during the rest of the day as well.

Let’s say you meditate for 10-15 minutes when you get up in the morning. You feel good, calm, and grounded. Then, as you go about your day, you’ll notice that it’s taking you less time to complete some of the things on your to-do list. Instead of a half hour to write that email to your boss, it takes you 15 minutes. Why? Because you feel clear-minded and rooted. When you are rooted and calm, your mind can relax. Your nervous system can relax. And the thoughts and the words come more quickly than usual.

Two weeks ago, after this realization, I started up my daily morning sadhana again. And wouldn’t you know? I was more efficient with my time and efforts. I was calm and at ease. My nervous system was relaxed and as a result, I slept more soundly, experiencing more restorative sleep. It felt so good!

I want you to experience the same!

Kundalini yoga is for ALL bodies, at all fitness levels (including zero!), and for all varying levels of experience (from none to regular practitioner). This practice helps you to stay grounded in your body and connected with your inner self. It helps to build nervous system resilience so that you can bounce back quickly from major upheavals and be useful to those who might need support. You experience calm and ease (if you practice over long periods of time), which means clearer mind and focused attention. Which also equals efficient use of time and energy. Hooray!
