Hair is the physical manifestation of our thoughts and an extension of ourselves; the same happens with the thoughts of mother Earth, we can see the constant growth of her hair of grass; same that since ancient times were used by indigenous peoples for medicinal and ritual purposes.
Our hair is the physical extension of our thoughts, it gives us direction throughout our lives; each of our hair represents ourselves, they are strong connection points of both our body and our spirit.
Men and women of wisdom have worn long hair; On the other hand, in places where tyranny in any of its forms has been presented, short hair has been mandatory.
Hair has its own language and character, and the way it is styled is extremely important for who wears it:
– The line in the middle represents the alignment of thought.
– The unity of thought with the heart is braided.
– Loose hair means security.
– Hair up conviction.
Going into the thought of the indigenous peoples, we will find that the way of styling their hair was of the utmost importance, since in this way their participation in various events was described and announced: marriage or war, joy or mourning. Through the hair and the headdresses that were worn on it, it was possible to know the maturity of the people, their status in society or the times of peace and war.
The hairstyles were like the seasons; they changed on public, private and ceremonial occasions. The hair represented the thoughts and spiritual state of the individual; showing the bonds and spiritual unity of his family and defining the cultural harmony and spiritual alignment of his community.
The hair represented the states of nature, flowing in a straight line like waterfalls or wavy like river water. Indigenous children were taught to wash and rinse their hair.
The care of her hair was as important as the maintenance of her physical and spiritual health; they were also taught to create ritual hairstyles using wood, bone, feathers, or stones as headdresses.
The hair that fell out or accumulated on the combs was collected and kept in a bag; When the full moon arrived, the women gathered in a ceremony and offered the record of their feelings and ideas accumulated in their fallen hair to the spirits of fire, earth and air so that they could be blessed; Later the hair offerings were placed in the sacred fire and the thoughts and emotions of each of them rose together with her prayers through the smoke and the wind until they reached the moon.
It is said that when you allow your hair to grow to its full length and wrap it around the crown of the head, the energy of the Sun, prana, the vital energy, goes down the spine. To counter this downward trend, the Kundalini vital energy is raised to create balance.
“Your hair is not there by mistake. It has a definite purpose.”

hair and spirituality
For the Egyptians represented a social statusHence the importance of the wigs, in many cases sprinkled with gold dust.
Between The Celts long hair meant strength in men and fertility in women.
For the Greeks the curly hair metaphorically represented the change, freedom, enjoyment of life.
The movement ““ used hair as one of the symbols of rebellion both in the cut and in the color.
Long ago, in many cultures, people kept their hair because was part of who they were. There were no beauty salons. When people was conquered or enslaved, her hair was often cut as sign of slavery. It was understood that this would as punishment and that would decrease the power of those enslaved. The bones in the forehead are porous and function to transmit light to the pineal gland in the brain, which affects the brain activity, as well as thyroid and sex hormones.
Yogi Bhajan explains that when Genghis Khan conquered China, he considered that its inhabitants were very wise and intelligent people who would not allow themselves to be subjugated, so he required all the women in the country to cut their hair and what to wear fringesbecause I knew that this it would serve to timid and more easily controlled.
Hair technology was one of the first technologies given by Yogi Bhajan when he came to America: Leave it uncut, your hair will grow to a particular height and then stop at the right height for you. It takes about three years since the last time you cut your hair so that the ends of your hair form antennae. Those antennae act as conduits to bring in vast amounts of subtle and cosmic energy. “When the hair of your head is allowed reach their full, mature heightso he phosphorus, calcium and vitamin D they’re all produced, they enter the lymphatic fluid, and eventually the spinal fluid, through two ducts at the top of your brain. This ionic exchange creates more efficient memories and leads to great physical energy, increased stamina, and patience.” Yogi Bhajan explained this, “If you decide to cut your hair, not only will you lose your extra nutrition and energy, but your body will then have to produce a great deal of vital energy and nutrients to continually grow the lost hair.”
There are two different parts of the human brain, they are so different that Yogi Bhajan simply says that we have two brains. The hindbrain lives in spinal cerebral fluid, which travels down the spine. However, the energy for the frontal portion of the brain is obtained from the hair. The hairs are the antennae that gather and channel the energy of the sun or prana to those frontal lobes, the part of the brain that you use for meditation and visualization.
During meditation, those antennae “make it easier to hear the sound current (Naad), through which you can more easily open your solar center in your crown. The experience of awakening your perception to infinity is similar to the sound of the gong. As we become more aware of the vastness and unity of the universe through this ‘tenth gate’ we get humility and a feeling of wholeness.
“When you meditate, you can have an incredible and elevated experience, but You can’t fully sustain that lift without the pure, heavy protein of your full hair..”
If you choose to leave your hair down and cover your crown chakra with a white cloth during meditation this will help you retain the benefits of your meditative experience.
Hair care
If we wear our long hair down, the antennae of the hair are scattered. They rub against each other and in doing so remove the electrical charge from the working brain. As they spread out loosely, the hair can also split at the ends and their ability to act as antennae is damaged. If you have long hair, see if your experience is different when it’s neat and up on the crown or when it’s down and sparse. Experience it yourself. If you have split endsInstead of cutting them off and losing your antennae, Yogi Bhajan recommends apply almond oil to your hair overnight so that it can be absorbed before washing it the next morning.
Be sure to cover your hair or put a towel on your pillow to protect your bed. Then keep it tucked into your crown and protect it with a headwear during the day to help your antennae heal.
Your hair can also be damaged when you comb it wet because you stretch or break it.
One year after Winter Solstice, when Yogi Bhajan was sitting in our living room with his hair damp, he explained that he was drying it before putting it up to avoid a headache. This is because if you put your hair up while it’s wet, it will tend to shrink and get a little tight as it dries. A better idea is taking time to sit in the sun occasionally and allow your clean, damp hair to dry naturally to absorb some extra vitamin D.
Yogis recommend wash hair every 72 hours (or more frequently if the scalp sweats a lot). It is also beneficial to wash your hair after being angry to help process emotions.
Yogis recommend using a wooden comb or brush to style your hair because it gives a lot of circulation and stimulation to the scalp. More significantly, wood does not create static energy, which causes loss of energy to the brain. Yeah comb your hair and leather from front to back, back to front and then from top to left and right several times it will refresh youno matter how long your hair is. All the tiredness of your day will go away.
Yogi Bhajan said that if you know this technique of styling your hair, you probably don’t need an aspirin, and you can overcome weakness and become energized in a short time.
For women, using this technique of combing their hair twice a day can help them maintain their youth, the health of their menstrual cycle, and their eyesight.
During the day, the hair absorbs solar energybut at night it absorbs moon energy. keeping the hair up (above the crown) during the day and down at night improve that process.
Braid your hair down at night It will help you balance your electromagnetic field.
The Pineal gland in the center of your brain is stimulated when your electromagnetic field (aura) is energized by combing and winding your hair into a rishi knot on your crown. “This activation of your pineal causes a secretion that is central to the development of high intellectual functioning, as well as high spiritual perception.” If you seal this energizing scroll by covering your head or with a turbanthen you will create your own energy receiver, simple but powerful.
If you’re bald, the lack of energy of the hair can be neutralized with more meditation. If you are finding some silver strands in your hair, be aware that the color gold or white increases vitamins and energy flow is compensated by age. For better brain health, as you age, try to keep your hair as natural and healthy as possible.
Yogi Bhajan taught that in order to sustain oneself in the face of all the pressures of the environment, strong nerves are needed. If your nervous system remains stable you will not fall. All your behavior: your patience, your projection, your constant coming and going depends on your nerves.
What builds and maintains your nerves?
The electrical charge of the body nourishes your nervous system, which is controlled by the brain, but it is your hair that gives you electrical energy. In the words of Yogi Bhajan, “Your hair is not there by mistake. It has a definite purpose, which the saints will discover and the others will laugh at.”
Whatever hair you have now, try an experiment, and see if you can tie it up at the top of your…
