Moreover, not only is your memory, mood and well-being enhanced, but so is your immunity, genes and general health.

The mantra Sa Ta Na Ma as utilized in Kirtan Kriya works properly when the tongue stimulates the upper palate’s 84 Meridian points and the tongue touches these 84 Meridian points. That’s what sends the message to the higher glands. It also activates certain areas in the brain to boost brain power and activate and improve cognitive function.

Recall that we have studied Kirtan Kriya for over two decades and have had many papers published in very top-notch medical journals, books, and white papers.

When you do it, Sa first touches the posterior part of your upper pallet behind the ridge of the teeth. Then Ta works behind the teeth and the lips. Each one of those has a powerful connection to the homunculus or the brain’s brain and the hypothalamus and the pituitary. Plus, when we do Kirtan Kriya, the fingertips in sequence are also touched: thumb to index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and pinky. This action also affects the anatomy of the brain and unravels it so that you are connected to your spiritual self.

Kirtan Kriya utilizes a wonderful mantra and has a complete body, mind, and spirit effect with the touching of the fingertips and sequence as you chant the sound for two minutes out loud, two minutes in a whisper, four minutes perfectly silently and then reverse it with two minutes in a whisper, two minutes out loud. Then you inhale deep, hold the breath, and circulate the energy. It is important for us to stay in tune with the proper technique of Kirtan Kriya and not change it at all.

One last thing to share: Kirtan Kriya is the only meditation that uses a chant, a whisper, and silence. The chanting part cleanses the conscious mind, the whisper clears the subconscious mind, and when you go deep within into silence, this releases negativity from the deepest part of the unconscious mind. Kirtan Kriya is the only meditation that does this. Mindfulness doesn’t have this effect and neither does TM or any other meditation. This is one of the main reasons it is so powerful.

We encourage you to develop the routine of practicing Kirtan Kriya first thing in the morning perhaps with some yoga as well. You’ll be so much happier and healthier and, beyond that, you’ll make other people healthier and happier just by being around you. Your presence will make them shine their light.

Yours in Brain Health,
