Autumn Meditation

The purpose of the yoga asana is to prepare the body to be able to sit comfortably for long periods of time and meditate.

Lou provides guided meditation techniques to help you tune into the natural rhythms of each season.

For autumn, Lou recommends learning the classical kundalini meditation practice of Kirtan Kriya.

Lou Hart gives an introduction to Kirtan Kriya for beginners with an accessible 6 minute duration.

After practising this for 40 days it is recommended to expand the practice to 12 minutes (longer version video forthcoming).

Kirtan Kriya meditation has many potential benefits, including:

*Improved brain function: Kirtan Kriya can improve blood flow to the brain, which can help with thinking. It can also increase activity in the frontal lobe, which can help with attention, concentration, and focus.

*Improved mood: Kirtan Kriya can improve mood and reduce feelings of depression and anxiety.

*Improved memory: Kirtan Kriya can improve visuospatial memory and verbal memory.

*Improved stress management: Kirtan Kriya can help people cope with stress and lower cortisol levels.

Increased telomerase: A UCLA study found that regular Kirtan Kriya practice increased telomerase, an enzyme that affects how cells age.

*Improved sleep quality: Kirtan Kriya can improve sleep quality.

*Improved psychological health: Kirtan Kriya can improve both short- and long-term psychological health.
