Kundalini Yoga is one of the spiritual types of yoga that goes beyond the physical performance of asanas.

It raises the energy of our inner self to a higher frequency and opens our awareness to realize the ultimate peace. Kundalini lies at the base of the spine and is represented as a coiled serpent. As the Kundalini energy is awakened, it moves up from the base of the spine from Muladhara Chakra to the Sahasrara Chakra located at the top of the head. The untapped energy or Prana within a human being can be awoken by awakening each of the seven chakras (Muladhara Chakra, Svadhishthana Chakra, Manipuraka Chakra, Anahata Chakra, Visuddha Chakra, Ajna Chakra and Sahasrara Chakra) through postures, movement, specialized breathing, hand gestures, body locks, chanting and sound.

While all of us have different pain thresholds, most of our patients tell us that they experienced little or no pain. This is a great surprise to them. One man who came to us on a very high dose of methadone told me that he was amazed that he was not experiencing any real pain. He was uncomfortable sometimes and stayed in his room but this was not what he expected. In fact, he told us that he chose Novus not because he believed that his withdrawal would be pain-free, but because he felt it was a good place to be sick and that he would receive the appropriate medical care.

Opiate Addcition and Pregancy

Posted on 11/4/2009 @ 6:01 PM in #Health by Sam 0 comments

One of our saddest moments at Novus is when we are contacted by a woman who is addicted to narcotics like methadone or OxyContin and is pregnant. It is sad for us because our facility cannot provide the type of medical care that is needed to safely detox a pregnant woman. Few facilities do. However, it is even more distressing because we know that the mother is going to have a more dangerous pregnancy and her fetus will be in real danger of not being a normal baby. If the mother doesn't terminate the pregnancy and carries the baby to term, the baby has no better than a 50-50 chance of not experiencing the same incredible withdrawal pain suffered by any other person dependent on or addicted to narcotics or other drugs who is forced to suddenly stop taking them. Does anyone think that the drug companies and their "paid" doctors who promote the use of methadone, rather than treatment that would make young women drug free, don't know that many of these women are going to become pregnant? Even though it is almost
