People with anxiety tend to worry excessively about everyday life events like work, family, school, finances and to always expect the negative situations to happen. Often, the worry is unrealistic and out of proportion to the situation. Symptoms of anxiety include headaches, irritability, inability to relax or fall asleep, tiredness, easily startled, feeling of edginess and muscle tension or tightness especially in the shoulders and back.
At the 21 day Inner Awakening meditation retreat in Bangalore, India, 100 % of the participants who had a history of anxiety symptoms reported a significant recovery from anxiety symptoms towards the end of the meditation retreat. See innerawakening.org for more details. It is a well known fact that meditation is effective in reducing anxiety.
There are many meditation retreats throughout the world but what makes the Inner Awakening meditation retreat unique, immensely effective and transformational is the presence of ParamahamsaNithyananda who is an enlightened yogic master. Using the ancient science of Kundalini yoga, he awakens the potential energy called Kundaliniwhich is present in every human being.
Kundalini yoga is a special type of yoga practice consisting of asanas, pranayama and meditation. The goal of kundalini yoga practice is to awaken this powerful kundalini energy which in turn activates and energizes the chakras and brain. Chakras are energy centers within the spine. Chakras are assosciated with the major organs in the area; egvishuddi chakra at throat area with the thyroid. When the chakras are open and energy is flowing well, the organs and body is healthy.
A study of mitochondria activity level of participants at the Inner Awakening meditation retreat showed the levels increased by an astounding 1300% towards the end of the retreat. Mitochondria are the power house of the cells and supplies most of the energy to the cell in the form of ATP. This huge increase in mitochondria activity level is unheard of and is attributed to the powerful awakened kundalini energy. This increased energies lead to powerful healing of body, increase in awareness and clarity of mind, feelings of calmness and inner joy, feeling of lightness of body and mind, radiance and smoothness of the complexion and increased creativity and the ability to live life fully.
