40 Min Kundalini Yoga for Healing Trauma and PTSD - Healing Series #1

[@leahkelly8306]

I love… love… love… love …this one! It speaks to my condition.

[@YogaVisionOnline]

Yes this practice has a million benefits. Drawing you to the mat is def one of them.

[@schoolboycubemaster1465]

On day 1 I was barely able to take a breath, my body was locked in a state of closed-down shock. It felt nearly impossible to inhabit my body, my domain. Every day I have been able to breathe ever so slightly more. Today is day 77, and I am beginning to feel my heart again. During "I AM" today I felt more light entering my body, as I am starting to be able to play with allowing this feeling of opening up my field. I feel hope as I notice these small moments. The hope gives me strength to keep going. To all others reading this who feel like there is no hope to heal, I feel that way some days too but I would like to say that we are never alone and I am going to keep showing up. This practice is empowering me and anchoring me and I wanted to express this gratitude today.

[@YogaVisionOnline]

Where are you now in this journey?

[@schoolboycubemaster1465]

​@@YogaVisionOnline I took this practice to about 90 days. It brought me through the toughest place of shock my body has ever been though. Now, a few months later, I am still showing up every day in a different way. I light a candle and then I show my nervous system that I am here for myself by showing up to write out a free flow of exploring whatever is inside that wants to rise and move, and practice being present for whatever it is that i feel most terrified to feel. I'm being patient. It's powerful and I actually trust in this process now that it's leading me to freedom. Thank you SO much for this video/practice. It was a true anchor and guide for my survival and healing. I'm so grateful for how it helped me in the most acute stages of shock.

[@dianacrisp5944]

Thank you for being so open about your journey. I found myself emotional reading it. I am about to undertake this journey. Bless you.

[@tumainily3180]

Just finished my 40 day practice and I highly recommend it. After reading the protocol, I proceeded to do this practice in conjunction with mental health supports. In the first few days I experienced intense shaking/tembling, nausea, bolating, gasiness, headaches and fatigue. As each day of practice passed the symptoms were less intense and it became easier to return to a state of rest from a heightend state. After day 40 I feel a deeper awarness of my body, thoughts and actions. I can get to a place of rest more quickly than before. My breath is deeper. My posture is more upright. There is also the additional benefit of daily practice - the practice of discipline is confidence building. And my core feels stronger! My deepest thanks to Salima and YogaVision team for this!

[@katiestark8195]

[@SovietKitsch1917]

Dear Salimah, you cannot fathom how much you've helped me and how grateful I am for you to share all this content freely. I am doing your yoga and meditation sessions daily and they have helped me heal with my severe PTSD symptoms and overall mental, spiritual, emotional and physical health. I have not seen anything that comes close to your content on the internet. With such devotion. Professionality, wisdom and spiritual depth. I am so immensely grateful to you for the work you are doing. Thank you ❤

[@bhavnnadaryani]

Hello Salimah, Thank you so much for this Kiya. I loved your teaching approach as I needed a gentle practice. This practice was more effective than therapy. I just completed 40 day practice as I am healing CPTSD. This practice helped me release trapped anger, grieve about the past & identify my self sabotaging patterns. I'm looking forward to starting tomorrow another 40 day heart healing practice from your channel 💖😊 Thank you so much 🙏😘

[@YogaVisionOnline]

Congratulations on making that commitment for yourself. Respect your path and your needs as you continue on.

[@cocopersiflage4705]

This kriya feels like home to me. I especially like it when you tell us to let our breath heal us. Inhale peace and exhale peace.

Keep going Coco!

[@montrelly.gamingXP]

Thank you so much for this. During the "I Am" mantra and meditation, I began to cry as I repeated "I Am, I Am". So much was released and this is day 1. I am immensely grateful to have discovered your channel and work. I like to imagine that your content found me as well, as I was seeking true kundalini yoga. The universe always knows how to connect us to what we need. We love you. Thank you for this.

Thank you. That's great. As my situation improves and my monetary provisions increase I will trade with you for the info. Unless, that universal wisdom comes flooding in first. Would have it then.

[@dreamdrumsdeep]

After completing 40 days with the healing anxiety and then 40 days with the healing of depression practice, I started on this one today and really enjoyed it. It uses aspects I do daily anyhow as warm ups before and stretching after my daily (possibly over) exercise ha. Hopefully I will start to feel better soon mentally with being so dedicated to make sure I practice first thing each and every day.

[@YogaVisionOnline]

Step by step. Document your journey with it. Sometimes the kriya will call us to do it longer than 40 days. Your inner wisdom will let you know. This one is a beauty. Offers a lot of insight especially when you go in with intention and reverence. ⭐️

( the Nadis). Can you post you email ? In this video you says there is a journal article explaining the protocol and the why these poses are beneficial for trauma. I work as a mental health therapist and the most effective interventions in my work w clients are interventions that include the body.

I do yoga everyday and can't believe how hard i found this. there was none of that relaxation and release but mostly awkwardness and pain (but the muscle building kind, not the bad kind...just not stretchy endorphin release like most of my yogic experience/more like a muscle training class)...is this typical of Kundalini - it seemed much more like a very slow pilates session? It surprised me how much the kriya is actually identical to pilates..who knew?!

[@YogaVisionOnline]

I have short hip sockets, and one hip doesn't open out very far, so this position causes a lot of strain.

When I experienced this practice, I noticed at a certain point that my body just felt overwhelmed with exhaustion. Getting to the "I am" meditation, my arms felt weak.

What do you think, Salimah? Is this supposed to happen? Also, I'd really love to see the study you mentioned in this practice. Thank you, and I hope you are well.

And by weak I mean that I was struggling to move my arms in the "I am" meditation. I was just really exhausted.

Thank you for sharing Bella. It’s true that the kriya will show us the truth. And in your case - is it true that you are exhausted? Can you modify to simply use the mantra and allow your hands to rest in your lap? Every day is different so if today is tired, could tomorrow be different and allow you a little more space to do the movements? Thoughts to consider. Not force and no shame in learning. 💫
