Sat Nam,

This week we are working on the second body and the first of the three minds, The Negative Mind.

The Negative Mind can be quite controversial as there’s thought leaders that will say it’s not good and you have to stay positive.  In a Kundalini Yoga we understand The Negative Mind is critical to your well being as it’s evaluates risk.  It is the strongest of the three minds and is the first mind that activates when you are born and it continues to be the first mind that activates in any given situation put in from of you. 

When in balance think of it like insurance that assesses risk and keeps you from throwing yourself into risky situations like walking in front of a car or investing in the scammer that emailed you, anything that doesn’t serve your well-being.

When out of balance on one end of the spectrum when it’s over active you will see everything as negative and unsafe and keep yourself from living your best life.   On the other end when your negative mind is under active, you’ll ignore the red flags and continually put yourself into dangerous or unhealthy situations that cause you unnecessary upset and difficulties.

I have a strong Negative Mind which presents itself as anxiety.  Prior to Kundalini yoga I couldn’t even get on a bus because my Negative Mind set of the fight flight panic button that this was a dangerous situation.  Practicing this yoga balanced out my Negative Mind so it would evaluate real risk.  I still get anxiety and my Negative Mind still takes over at times, but through my practice I am more wise to see through the illusion of danger it creates than I once was. 

Breath work, strong movement especially working on the kidneys as this is where we hold a lot of fear, are all great for The Negative Mind.  The Stress set for Adrenals and Kidneys is a great Kriya to help steady the Negative Mind. 

Allow the Negative Mind to serve you rather than you serving it and it will be a great tool in your life to hold you steady.
