For almost two years now, I've turned to Kundalini meditations
to cure specific issues. From needing to sleep less, to
overcoming anxiety, to strengthening my commitment, to
opening my heart, to developing confidence, to overcoming
addiction, and on and on and on and on.

This particular meditation is my go to for quick relief of panic

states or release of freak-out level anxiety. It's incredibly hard
to do (it's not advanced, but it requires holding the breath out
for extended periods of time, which makes you feel like you
might die, so...), but it works quickly and the results are
undeniable: it stops panic states dead in their tracks, and
does it in under 4 minutes. 

This is the one I teach my friends and clients when shit is going
DOWN and any old meditation just won't do.

It's my secret weapon.

It works pretty simply: you hold your breath in and out for
extended periods of time, and that combined with the hand
position and eye position, triggers the survival response. You
overload the system and return to homeostasis.

You can use this in one of two ways. One, you can learn it and

use it in emergency situations to prevent full-blown panic
attacks. Or two, you can do it every day for 40 or 90 days as a
regular practice to eliminate or greatly reduce severe anxiety

you nerves of steel.)

Sitting position. Sit in an Easy Pose, with a the chin pulled
slightly in and a straight spine (note, hips should always be
higher than knees).

Mudra (Hand/arm position). Bend the elbows so that the

hands are at the level of the heart center a few inches from the
body, palms facing the chest. Place the palm of the right hand
against the back of the left hand. Hold the hands and forearms
parallel to the ground so that the fingers of the right hand point
toward the left side and the fingers of the left hand point
toward the right side. Press the thumb tips together.

Eyes. The eyes are nine-tenths closed (barely open) and rolled
up to the third-eye point. Note this feels REALLY WEIRD at first.
To do this, I sometimes keep my eyes open, press my finger in
between my eyebrows and look at it, and THEN close my eyes
9/10s of the way.

Breath. Inhale deeply through the nose and calmly hold the

breath in for 15-20 seconds. Exhale completely through the
nose and calmly hold the breath out for 15-20 seconds.
Concentrate on the breath. The air must go all the way out on
the exhale so that all the heart valaves get equal pressure and
the brain and central nervous system will trigger the survival
systems.

Time. Continue for 3 to 5 minutes. No more.

Relax. Sit in a meditative posture, for 31 seconds up to 31
minutes. Feel the change in energy.

What Yogi Bhajan said about it. "This meditation brings the

entire nervous system and glandular system into balance. By
putting the thumbs together in the mudra, the sciatic nerve is
neutralized at the point of the ego. (Thumbs represent the
energy of the ego.) This particular balance puts pressure on
certain meridian points in the shoulders. Do this exercise…
anytime you want to be sharper and have an edge over another
person. It balances all the nervous energies and balances all
the glandular system to tune them to maximum efficiency. It
can raise efficiency to the point of life over death. No need to
take 'uppers' and 'downers', the breath of life can balance you
any time you want."
