Invigorate

Hair is an extension of the nervous system, it can be correctly seen as exterior nerves, a type of highly evolved ‘feelers’ or ‘antennae’ that channel greater quantities of subtle, cosmic energy that balances the entire electromagnetic field of the body increasing life force, vitality and intuition. In Vedic tradition, hair is coiled up on the crown of the head during the day to energise the brain cells, and let down at night. A ‘rishi knot’ energises your magnetic field and stimulates the pineal gland in the centre of your brain. “This activation of your pineal results in a secretion that is central to the development of higher intellectual functioning, as well as higher spiritual perception.” During the day, the hair absorbs solar energy, but at night it absorbs lunar energy. Keeping the hair up during the day and down at night aids in this process. Braiding your hair at night will help your electromagnetic field balance out from the day. It is said that when you allow your hair to grow to its full length and coil it on the crown of the head, the sun energy, pranic life force, is drawn down the spine. To counteract that downward movement, the Kundalini life energy rises to create balance.
