2011 年 9 月 9 日，關於 Sikhnet 先生的一篇文章中重新再發布，由佛羅里達州的 Deva Kaur Khalsa 撰寫。
「 我們的髮型時尚可能只是一種趨勢，但如果我們進行調查，我們可能會發現，我們一直在剝奪自己對人類活力最寶貴的能量來源之一。」～ Yogi Bhajan
考慮你頭上的頭髮，不僅僅是好看的這個可能性。 人類是唯一在成年後頭上長出更長頭髮的生物。 如果你不剪，你的頭髮會長到特定的長度，然後自己停止，長到適合你的長度。 從瑜伽的角度來看，頭髮是大自然的驚人禮物，實際上可以幫助提高昆達里尼能量（創造性的生命力），從而增加活力、直覺和寧靜。
剪頭髮
很久以前，許多文化中的人是不剪頭髮的，因為這是他們身份的一部分。 那裡也沒有沙龍。 通常，當人們被征服或奴役時，他們的頭髮會被剪掉，這是公認的奴隸制標誌，這被理解為一種懲罰，並削弱那些被奴役者的權力。 額頭的骨頭是多孔的，其功能是將光傳遞給松果體，這會影響大腦活動，以及甲狀腺和性激素。 修剪覆蓋額頭的劉海，會阻礙這個過程。 當成吉思汗征服中國時，他認為中國人是一個非常睿智、聰明的人，他們不允許自己被征服。 因此，他要求全國所有婦女理髮和留劉海，因為他知道這會使她們保持膽怯，更容易控制。 隨著整個部落或社會的征服，剪髮變得如此普遍，以至於幾代人後，頭髮的重要性就消失了，現代髮型和時尚反而逐漸成為焦點。
頭髮的科學是 Yogi Bhajan 來美國時最早提供的技術之一。 「 當你頭上的頭髮達到完全成熟的長度時，磷、鈣和維生素D都會產生，並進入淋巴液，最終透過大腦頂部的兩個導管進入脊髓液。 這種離子變化，創造了更高效的記憶，並導致具有更多的體力、更好的耐力和耐心。」 Yogi Bhajan 解釋說，如果你選擇剪頭髮，你不僅會失去額外的能量和營養，而且你的身體，必須提供大量的生命能量和營養，以不斷重新長出缺失的頭髮。 此外，毛髮是收集，並將太陽能或Prana 普拉納輸送到額葉的天線，額葉是大腦用於冥想和視覺化的部分。 這些天線充當管道，為您帶來更多精微的宇宙能量。 從上次剪頭髮開始，大約需要三年時間才能在髮梢形成新的天線。
1979年冬至，女人們正在曬乾她們的頭髮
昆達里尼頭髮養護
在印度，Rishi 被稱為智者，白天將頭髮捲在頭頂上，為腦細胞注入活力，然後晚上作梳理。 「 Rishi 結 」為你的磁場（能量圈 Aura ）注入能量，並刺激大腦中央的松果體。 「 這種松果體的啟用，導致一種分泌，這對更高智力功能和更高精神感知的發展至關重要」（ Yogi Bhajan ）。 白天，頭髮吸收太陽能，但晚上，它吸收月球能量。 白天把頭髮豎起來，晚上把頭髮放下來，有助於這個過程。 晚上把頭髮編成辮子，有助平衡你一整日下來的電磁場。
髮尾分叉
鬆散放飛的頭髮會形成分叉。 Yogi Bhajan 建議在夜間，在頭髮上塗抹少量杏仁油，以便在第二天早上洗髮前吸收，而不是修剪它們，失去你的觸角。 白天將頭髮捲在頭頂上，並用頭巾保護，這將有助於你的天線癒合。 如果你的頭髮很長，當它乾淨並捲曲在你的頭頂上，或者向下和鬆散時，看看你的感覺經歷是否不同。
溼頭髮
冬至一年後，當 Yogi Bhajan 帶著溼頭髮坐在我們的客廳裡時，他解釋說，為了避免頭痛，他在盤起來之前，正在弄乾頭髮。 當你把頭髮弄溼時，它往往會收縮和收緊，甚至會隨著乾燥而斷裂。 一個更好的主意是偶爾花時間曬太陽，讓你乾淨、溼漉漉的頭髮自然乾燥，並吸收一些額外的維生素D。 瑜伽士建議每 72 小時洗一次頭髮（如果頭皮出汗很多，則需更頻繁地洗頭）。 心煩意亂後，洗頭來幫助處理情緒，也是有益的。
木製梳子
瑜伽士還建議使用木製梳子，或刷子來梳理頭髮，因為它能給頭皮帶來大量的迴圈和刺激，而且木材不會產生靜電，頭髮上的靜電會導致大腦的能量流失。 你會發現，如果你從前到後，從後到前，然後左右幾次梳理頭髮和頭皮，無論你的頭髮有多長，它都會讓你感到煥然一新，你一天中所有的疲勞都會消失。 對於女性來說，據說使用這種技術，每天梳兩次頭髮有助於保持年輕、健康的月經週期和良好的視力。
如果你禿頭或正在變禿，頭髮能量的缺乏，可以透過更多的冥想來抵消。 如果你在頭髮上發現一些銀色的髮絲，請注意銀色或白色會增加維生素和能量流動，以補償衰老。 隨著年齡的增長，為了更好的大腦健康，儘量保持頭髮自然和健康。
泰戈爾的頭髮
多年前，Yogi Bhajan 在新墨西哥州的女人營，向我們講述了這個關於頭髮的故事：認識到你的頭髮，是多麼美麗和強大 — 當你保留它時，你在這個世界上過著充實的生活。 在自己身上找到神的偉大詩人拉賓德拉納特·泰戈爾，試圖在一艘蒸汽船上見一個朋友時，這位朋友沒有認出他，所以給他寫了一封信。 「 我們在同一艘蒸汽船上，但我卻沒有找到你。」泰戈爾說：「 我在那裡啊。」 他的朋友說：「 我知道你現在是一個意識到神的人，我想知道當你意識到合一時，你的第一個行動是什麼？」 泰戈爾說：「 當我意識到一切的一體性時，我把剃鬚刀扔進了海裡。 我放棄了小我，向大自然投降了。 我想以造物主給我的形式生活。」
當人類允許頭髮自然生長時，他們歡迎成熟、完全生長和完全強大的責任。 這就是為什麼你會在一個從出生起就留著頭髮的人身上找到優雅和平靜，如果頭髮保持得很好。 造物主給你頭髮是有明確理由的。
據說，當你讓頭髮長到全部的長度時，並將其纏繞在頭頂上，太陽能量，也就是普拉納能量的生命力，會被吸引到脊柱之上。 為了抵消這種向下運動，昆達里尼的生命能量就會自然上升，以創造平衡。 用 Yogi Bhajan 的話來說，「 你的頭髮天然狀態不是誤打誤撞的。 它有一個明確的目的，聖人會發現，然而其它人會嘲笑它。」
3 women with braided hair – Winter Solstice 1979
Reposted from an article on Mr. Sikhnet on September 9, 2011 and written by Deva Kaur Khalsa of Florida.
“Our hair fashions might be just a trend, but if we investigate, we may find that we have been depriving ourselves of one of the most valuable sources of energy for human vitality.” Yogi Bhajan
Consider the possibility that the hair on your head is there to do more than just look good. Man is the only creature who grows longer hair on his head as he grows into adulthood. Left uncut, your hair will grow to a particular length and then stop all by itself at the correct length for you. From a yogic perspective, hair is an amazing gift of nature that can actually help raise the Kundalini energy (creative life force), which increases vitality, intuition, and tranquility.
Cut Hair
Long ago people in many cultures didn’t cut their hair, because it was a part of who they were. There were no salons. Often, when people were conquered or enslaved, their hair was cut as a recognized sign of slavery. It was also understood that this would serve as punishment and decrease the power of those enslaved.
The bones in the forehead are porous and function to transmit light to the pineal gland, which affects brain activity, as well as thyroid and sexual hormones. Cutting bangs which cover the forehead impedes this process. When Genghis Khan conquered China, he considered the Chinese to be a very wise, intelligent people who would not allow themselves to be subjugated. He therefore required all women in the country to cut their hair and wear bangs, because he knew this would serve to keep them timid and more easily controlled.
As whole tribes or societies were conquered, cut hair became so prevalent that the importance of hair was lost after a few generations, and hairstyles and fashion grew to be the focus.
The science of hair was one of the first technologies given by Yogi Bhajan when he came to America. “When the hair on your head is allowed to attain its full, mature length, then phosphorous, calcium, and vitamin D are all produced, and enter the lymphatic fluid, and eventually the spinal fluid through the two ducts on the top of the brain. This ionic change creates more efficient memory and leads to greater physical energy, improved stamina, and patience.” Yogi Bhajan explained that if you choose to cut your hair, you not only lose this extra energy and nourishment, but your body must then provide a great amount of vital energy and nutrients to continually re-grow the missing hair.
In addition, hairs are the antennas that gather and channel the sun energy or prana to the frontal lobes, the part of the brain you use for meditation and visualization. These antennas act as conduits to bring you greater quantities of subtle, cosmic energy. It takes approximately three years from the last time your hair was cut for new antennas to form at the tips of the hair.
Women drying their hair at Winter Solstice 1979
Kundalini Hair Care
In India, a Rishi is known as a wise one who coils his or her hair up on the crown of the head during the day to energize the brain cells, and then combs it down at night. A ‘rishi knot’ energizes your magnetic field (aura) and stimulates the pineal gland in the center 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” (Yogi Bhajan). 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 down at night will help your electromagnetic field balance out from the day.
Split Ends
Loose scattered hair can develop split ends. Instead of trimming them and losing your antennas, Yogi Bhajan recommends applying a small amount of almond oil to your hair overnight so that it can be absorbed before you wash it the next morning. Keeping your hair coiled on your crown and protected with a head covering during the day will help your antennas heal. If you have long hair, see if your experience is different when it is clean and coiled at your crown, or down and loose.
Wet Hair
One year after Winter Solstice, when Yogi Bhajan was sitting in our living room with wet hair, he explained that he was drying it before putting it up in order to avoid a headache. When you put your hair up wet, it will tend to shrink and tighten a bit and even break as it dries. A better idea is to occasionally take the time to sit in the sun and allow your clean, wet hair to dry naturally and absorb some extra vitamin D. Yogis recommend shampooing the hair every 72 hours (or more frequently if the scalp sweats a great deal). It can also be beneficial to wash your hair after being upset to help process emotions.
Wooden Comb
Yogis also recommend using a wooden comb or brush for combing your hair as it gives a lot of circulation and stimulation to the scalp, and the wood does not create static electricity, which causes a loss of the hair’s energy to the brain. You will find that, if you comb your hair and scalp front to back, back to front, and then to the right and left several times, it will refresh you, no matter how long your hair is. All the tiredness of your day will be gone. For women, it is said that using this technique to comb your hair twice a day can help maintain youth, a healthy menstrual cycle, and good eyesight.
If you are bald or balding, the lack of hair energy can be counteracted with more meditation. If you are finding some silver strands in your hair, be aware that the silver or white color increases the vitamins and energy flow to compensate for aging. For better brain health as you age, try to keep your hair as natural and healthy as you can.
Tagore’s Hair
Yogi Bhajan told us this story about hair many years ago at Women’s Camp in New Mexico: Recognize how beautiful and powerful your hair is—that when you keep it, you live a life of fulfillment in this world. When Rabindranath Tagore, the great poet who found God within himself, tried to meet a friend on a steamer ship, the friend didn’t recognize him and so wrote him a letter. “We were on the same steamer, but I didn’t find you.” Tagore said, “I was there.” His friend said, “I understand you are now a God-realized man, and I would like to know what your first action was when you became aware of the Oneness in all?” Tagore said, “When I realized the Oneness of all, I threw my shaving kit into the ocean. I gave up my ego and surrendered to nature. I wanted to live in the form that my Creator has given me.”
When humans allow their hair to grow, they are welcoming the maturity, the responsibility of being fully-grown, and fully powerful. That is why you will find grace and calmness in a person with uncut hair from birth, if it is kept well. The Creator has a definite reason for giving you hair.
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. In Yogi Bhajan’s words, “Your hair is not there by mistake. It has a definite purpose, which saints will discover and other men will laugh at.”
