Yogic approach to Depression and Anxiety:

Classes are forming to teach the yogic approach to depression and anxiety. According to Dr Shanti Shanti Khalsa of the Guru Ram Das Center for Medicine and Humanology, “As yogis, we address depression in terms of energy flow. One-way vitality moves us from soul to mind to body. The amount of spirit, the wattage, is important, since spirit determines the quality and nature of our thoughts. Spirit sets the vibration of the mind. Our thoughts then regulate how we feel, and our feelings then guide our behavior. Thus, the thoughts we hold, how we feel, and how we behave are direct consequences of the level of spirit or energy. When internal energy is low or blocked, we experience inertia, tiredness, and little enthusiasm for life. We feel cut off from our essential source of energy, our inner spirit. Problems, even the ordinary events of life, seem insurmountable. This ‘Silence of the Self’ phenomenon Yogi Bhajan refers to as Cold Depression.

In self-assessing cold depression, begin to pay attention to how you feel over a period of more than a week and ask yourself,

"Am I generally calm, but have no energy?" A "yes" answer can be an indication of depression.

"Do I generally have energy, but no calm?" A "yes" to this question can indicate anxiety or anger in the form of inner agitation.

"What behaviors do I engage in that buffer these feelings, yet may be harmful to me?”

As practitioners of yoga, we look for the presence and balance of both energy and calm and behaviors that support a strong inner energy over the long term. Yogi Bhajan has stated, "Kundalini Yoga is to create inner energy, not provoke outer energy." To increase the flow of inner energy, to raise the wattage of spirit, we must breathe, move, and chant the basics of Kundalini Yoga.

Yogic breath meditations often result in increased energy and reduced anxiety. The physical movement of a Kriya changes the nervous and glandular chemistry of the body. Chanting releases emotional pain, increases energy, and changes thought patterns. When we are low in spirit and stuck in a cycle of self-limiting thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, chanting is the practice that clears the subconscious, retrains the vibration of the mind, breaks the emotional hold, re-patterns behavior, and helps us identify with our real self."
