In a time when we have more comforts, conveniences and opportunities available to us than at any other point in our recorded human history, why do we seem to have more chaos, illness and social problems than the generations before us?
With technology and an ability to openly communicate with each other, why are the challenges and statistics surrounding these issues continuing to rise?
By Shanti Shanti Kaur Khalsa, based on the teachings of Yogi Bhajan
Cold Depression is our single biggest challenge as we enter the Aquarian Age. It affects vitality of spirit and leads us to behave in ways we would not otherwise. Yogi Bhajan, the Master of Kundalini Yoga, cautioned us that as we transition into the Aquarian Age, that is, through 2038, humanity would suffer from a phenomenon he called Cold Depression.

During the month of May, it’s a great idea to put a handful of cloves in a Chinese soup bowl or other porcelain or ceramic bowl with water, and soak overnight. The next morning, take three to four spoonfuls of the clove water before breakfast (on an empty stomach), no more than five. Do this first thing in the morning when you brush your teeth.
For convenience, you can make enough for three or four days and keep it in the refrigerator. For best results, take some everyday throughout the month of May.

Gemstones have always been used medicinally to restore balance to the auric field and the physical body. In ancient advanced civilizations, we were self-attuned, aware of vibratory frequencies and able to heal ourselves. As humanity grew more material, healing was turned over to the shaman/priests. Our cure no longer came from within. Prescriptions were administered through the art of talismanic which combines the energies of the stones with shape and numerical proportion.

“When we unblock on a physical level—cleaning out the digestive tract while jump-starting the lymph, circulatory, and glandular systems with life-giving foods, juices, supplements, and yoga—our immune system becomes stronger, our blood chemistry is restored, and we literally build a new body at the cellular level.”
