‘This great law some know, but few put into practice: Continuously think that your body is full of vitality, especially at times when it seems weak, and you will feel strength percolating into your body from the mind. You will start to open a new, secret, invisible source of self-vitalisation apart from the external material sources of food, air, and sunlight.’
- from the talks and writings of Paramahansa Yogananda

This meditation is believed to help resist stress, trauma, and illness utilising breath patterning (pranayama) and hand/ finger position (mudra). The combination of these two Yogic techniques done in meditation, accesses the two brain hemispheres and the rest and digest (parasympathetic) state of our nervous system, to bring about balance, endurance and calm.

This is one of the meditations and techniques we will explore in the Yoga Therapy for Chronic Health Conditions 8-week course
https://momence.com/17085/upcoming-events/123279600

Together we’ll create a space where you’ll be guided weekly through gentle movement, meditation, mantra (chanting), and rest to access your inherent wisdom, harness your sense of health and vitality, plus be reminded that your body is a safe place to be in despite your diagnosed condition and symptoms.

The paper provides a compelling conceptual demonstration of how much better the trajectory could be under a whole person paradigm. As a holistic health practitioner grounded in health science, I see Option B as the ethically superior and pragmatically wiser path for healthcare systems, practitioners, and clients alike.

If there is anything I’ve discovered along my journey of wellness and wellbeing, it’s the combination of different methods and modalities to give a well-rounded (holistic) sense of health, healing and balance.

Such a great step forward for Yoga Therapy and Kundalini Yoga ✨
Kundalini Yoga Therapy building on its evidence-based benefits here in Melbourne, Australia.
Facilitated by the skilled and inspirational Siri Bhagvati ~ Billie from Kundalini House - Yoga, Massage and Acupuncture, a friend and mentor 🥰

🌿 Groundbreaking Kundalini Yoga Research Study Begins May 2025 🌿

We’re proud to announce that our very own Siri Bhagvati / Billie Atherstone, faculty member and Kundalini Yoga Therapist, is leading a world-first, NHMRC-funded research study on trauma-responsive Kundalini Yoga for survivors of sexual violence.

This historic project brings together top experts in trauma recovery—including Dr. Sat Bir Singh Khalsa (Harvard Medical School) and Prof. Bessel van der Kolk (The Body Keeps the Score)—in partnership with leading universities.

🧘‍♀️ The 12-week program, based at Kundalini House Melbourne, is designed to
support survivors through:

✨ Grounding mudras
✨ Pranayama & kriya
✨ Trauma-informed sequencing
✨ Meditation & mantra
✨ Weekly insights from neuroscience, psychology & yoga therapy

This study is comparing Kundalini Yoga with Cognitive Processing Therapy to explore its potential as a healing modality for complex PTSD.

🙏 A powerful step toward recognizing yoga as a complementary path to trauma recovery, resilience, and reconnection.
