Kundalini Practices for Trauma Healing
1. Mantra Chanting for Nervous System Regulation
Chanting activates the vagus nerve, shifting the body from a trauma-induced fight-or-flight state to deep relaxation.

Harness the power of breath to cleanse energy, expand awareness, and cultivate inner balance.
3. Kriyas
Dynamic movements and breathwork sequences designed to cleanse, energize, and elevate your mind, body, and spirit.

Each teaching in Kundalini Yoga and Chinese Medicine sets a focused intention within the seven chakras, guiding the transmutation of trauma and inviting the bliss of divine purification, restoring energetic harmony in the body.
The concept of mapping the kundalini energy centers (chakras) to the meridian system originates from integrating Vedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles. Each chakra is believed to correspond to one or more meridian pathways due to their energetic and functional similarities. Here's an overview of these correspondences:
Root Chakra (Muladhara):
TCM Meridian: Kidney and Bladder Meridians.
The root chakra governs grounding and survival, similar to the Kidney meridian's role in supporting vital essence and life force.
Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana):
TCM Meridian: Spleen, Stomach, and Renal Meridians.
This chakra relates to emotions, creativity, and sexuality, resonating with the fluid regulation and nourishment provided by these meridians.
Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura):
TCM Meridian: Liver, Gallbladder, and Stomach Meridians.
The Manipura chakra governs willpower and personal energy, aligning with the Liver's role in emotional control and the Gallbladder's decisiveness.
Heart Chakra (Anahata):
TCM Meridian: Heart, Lung, and Pericardium Meridians.
The heart chakra symbolizes love and compassion, linking directly to the heart and lung meridians responsible for emotional balance and energy distribution.
Throat Chakra (Vishuddha):
TCM Meridian: Lung and Large Intestine Meridians.
The throat chakra supports communication and self-expression, linked with the Lung meridian (grief and expression) and the Large Intestine meridian's letting go.
Third Eye Chakra (Ajna):
TCM Meridian: Governing Vessel and Gallbladder Meridians.
This chakra involves intuition and higher perception, connected to the Gallbladder meridian's role in decision-making and clarity.
Crown Chakra (Sahasrara):
TCM Meridian: Governing Vessel and Bladder Meridians.
The crown chakra represents spiritual connection and enlightenment, mirroring the Governing Vessel's function of uniting the body’s energetic pathways.
Each system uses its own framework, but the synergy between them offers fascinating insights into energy balance and holistic healing.
