The neurons of the brain must be changed to alter patterns of addictive behavior. A person only adjusts behavior, sustains the change when behavior and sustain awareness for consciousness has been heightened practices such as kundalini, yoga, and meditation can facilitate greater awareness of the self, the environment and an internal belief system. Toxic substances break down the nervous system when functioning properly, a strong nervous system supports the ability to meet life‘s challenges with inter strength, determination, and “grit”.

Kundalini Yoga & Meditation
Known as the “Yoga of Awareness.” This practice rebuilds and strengthens the nervous system which is directly affected by substance abuse and other addictions. Yogi Bhajan said, “Kundalini Yoga gives a person back their own strength, it gives them discipline, changes the chemistry of the blood, stimulates the glandular system and also teaches a person to relax.”
Meditation promotes clarity of thought and Kundalini Yoga provides the discipline to carry it out. Through this technology the addictive personality is given immunity to protect itself from the pressures of society.
Breathing Techniques
Conscious breathing is an important part of living, increased breath capacity developed through long deep breathing exercises carries more oxygen to the brain, which in turn helps to create a heightened sense of awareness.
Science has shown that conscious controlled breathing can also elevate your mood, create relaxation and shield you from the effects of stress, aid in pain control, and alleviate a wide range of symptoms like headaches or indigestion.
By changing the rhythm and depth of your breath you can begin to change addictive behavioral patterns.
Sound & Mantra
Mantras are used in Kundalini Yoga to create a rhythm with the breath. This trains you to breathe slowly and deeply.
The vibrational energy of mantras reshapes consciousness, reprograms haunting thoughts and memories, and brings spiritual awareness. Incorporated with the breath, mantra cuts the mindset and enables the ability to go beyond mental thoughts of excuses and rationalizations.
Over time, these efforts slowly build stamina, determination and the ability to face life with “grit” and courage. In practical terms, with a stronger nervous system you can make life changes and have the ability to progress through life as a wiser, more confident and contained person.
Therapeutic Nutrition
“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
When the body has been worn down by stress, junk food, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, drugs & poor eating habits, a detoxifying and rebuilding diet is needed. It aids to cleanse accumulated impurities and toxins, as well as rebuild the organs, muscles, glandular system & nervous system.
Foods also impact the body’s ability to deal with stress, to regenerate and rebuild the healing process.
When you eat, how you eat, and where you eat all influence your mind, body and spiritual awareness.
You are what you eat. Whole food is designed so that the poisons of the body are released, and energy is not wasted.
Humanology
Humanology is science of Self living as a true human being.
It enables people to live healthy and happy lives while keeping a balanced body, mind and spirit.
Celestial Communication
Celestial Communication is a choreographed dance therapy using movement of the arms, hands, and figures to uplifting music or Kirtan. It is a therapeutic system that is highly effective when nothing else works.
The movement involved in Celestial Communication stimulates the nerve endings in the fingers, causes a relaxing effect on the brain, and releasees tension throughout the body. This re-patterning of the brain acts like a reset and releases stress, producing a general calmness and comfort.
The release of inner stress stimulates creativity and is great for the well-being and mental health for people of all ages.
