Daily pranayama & meditation can greatly improve your physical & mental health.
Just a few minutes each day lowerS stress, clearS your mind, and balanceS emotions.
Want a stronger baseline of awareness and grounding amid the daily rollercoaster of life? Refine your discernment of what is worth your mental and emotional investment, enhance your ability to cope with stress, and supercharge your endocrine system (hormonal balance). Pranayama increase oxygen intake, aides regularity in digestion, and boosts your immune system. Meditation empowers your meditative mind, neutral, discerning, tapped into awareness beyond limiting circumstances, awakens intuition and the fortitude and trust to make new choices from a tapped-in perspective.
Preventing Mega Information Syndrome
ADMIT IT: WE NEED HELP
I am asking myself - where is the balance in our excessively digital world?
Where is the discernment and willpower to set aside our devices and look at our addictions with sober truthfulness? (Perhaps you already have in which case please do email and share your journey!)
Where is the joy and devotion to a real life of deep focus, space to be bored and contemplate screen-free, to live with minimal distraction, with fuller human and earth intimacy?
On this new moon in Taurus, we start a new 40 day meditation. Here is a practical pause if there ever was one. Taurus asks us to tap into 'reality' deeply. The bones of an embodied life via our senses, movements, physical work, the values that direct our actions, the value we bring to the world and the value of that in monetary compensation and collection.
Interestingly, Uranus has just left Taurus and is fresh in the information-centered sign of Gemini, all mercurial-mental-movement, quick-on-your-toes wit and changeability. Uranus means revolution, a restructuring of the energetics behind how we apply our newly honed value systems, food systems, body relations, into the digital world of ever changing mental stimulation.
And what of substance beyond stimulation? That's the revolution calling.
Kundalini Yoga has left us with a treasure trove of tools for this exact time in history. The time of accelerating nervous systems and mental fatigue. The time of information overwhelm and insanity agendas trying their darnedest to hard wire our flesh and blood into a matrix prison of our own choosing.
Do not let the vampires in.
Here's some insight into this medicine:
Mega Information Syndrome is a state of central nervous system depletion caused by excessive exposure to electronic devices and information. Symptoms of this overload may include confusion, depression, feelings of emptiness, and general overwhelm.
To counteract these effects, you can cultivate a meditative mind, strengthen intuition, enhance the magnetic field, and achieve deep relaxation with this six-part kriya.
We are subject to many projections from others on all sides, their imaginings of who and what we should be. But if our imagination is strong and focused on our higher, whole Self, it will help us move toward happiness and prosperity. The question: Is what we are imagining helping or draining us? This practice helps train us to use our imaginations to envision what’s possible, the best outcomes and highest good for ourselves and all concerned.

TESTIMONIALS
“With this last meditation, I felt it disrupt my normal rhythms and open opportunity for expansion in daily tasks that have been difficult to keep up with.”
“Morning Pranayama practice with Alexandra and loving kind community has been a godsend over the last few years. The consistency and practicing with each other, even online, has enriched my life in so many ways. Breath practice for me is devotional but also has potent healing effects on my nervous system, and a calming effect in my entire life. Daily life. So much needed now and every day. I miss it a lot when we’re on break! I highly recommend this practice and this community from my heart of hearts.”
“Daily pranayama with Alexandra is the easiest, most accessible way to make room for the divine energy of the breath—our first medicine, to calm our hearts and minds, and to help us remember who we are—the power of our presence. Showing up for me each day makes all the difference in my life. I can’t recommend it more.”
“Alexandra’s 40-day pranayama session is a calming, restorative practice that helps me stay grounded and fosters a wonderful supportive community. A perfect way to recharge each day!”
FAQ
Do I have to practice the whole 40 days?
Ideally, yes. This is an open community space for you to come as often as you can, and come as you are. However, I do recommend taking a serious and committed approach as this will carry you through the first 10 days, when enthusiasm typically begins to wane. A tip I’ve found powerful: Wake with the intention “Yes! I want to and choose to show up for myself in this way today.”
Consistency is empowering. I'd encourage anyone to do a little of something as best they can than try to bite off more than is possible and give up entirely. No judgment if you miss a day — but expect the best of yourself as you commit to this 40 day period. Know that the more you overcome the resistance to keep going, the more you re-ignite your inner light — and that light thrives with and wants daily tending. So if you miss a day, don’t miss two. Get back on the horse and keep going. You’re worth it.
Is there a recording?
Yes, two public YouTube recordings and daily recordings for Patreon memebers. For non-Patreon members, I record each practice twice (one with complete explanation of the practice, once with a simplified, direct practice), so you have a guided experience to come to on the days when you may want to practice but can't make it live. The link will be sent to you when you sign up. You can also visit the YouTube playlist of all past practices. As a Patreon member, you will have daily videos sent to you with new insight, intentions and opportunities to connect to our zoom room community via recordings.
Why 40 days?
According to yogic philosophy, 40 days is the amount of time it takes to develop a new habit and really internalize the effects of the practice. The duration of 40 days of practice lets the meditation work with the cycle-based rhythms of the mind, provoking your subconscious to release any thoughts and emotional patterns that hinder you, put in a seed for a new, more positive pattern, and clear the subconscious.
How much should I donate?
