About to nights Kriya YOGA FOR YOUNG PEOPLE ( Physical Wisdom pg 22) Yogi Bhajan says: "There is a very powerful psychic power under the Navel Point. It sits there like a cobra snake and when it wakes up, it travels through the six centers of the body and awakens them with its touch. When it touches the seventh center, the man knows all. When it ingle-mingles with the aura, it delightfully enlightens the arch line and makes everything work out for the person."

We will follow with a powerful meditation to strengthen the nervous system, and prepare the body for the stresses of daily life.
