The practice

Twelve minutes, four sounds

At the center of his work sits one small daily practice, old enough to predate the research by centuries and simple enough to learn in an afternoon.

What it is

Kirtan Kriya is a twelve minute meditation from the Kundalini yoga tradition. It is sung on four sounds, paired with simple repeated movements of the fingers. Dr. Dharma did not invent it. He did something rarer. He asked universities to test it.

What the research found

UCLA

In a randomized trial of adults with mild cognitive impairment, Kundalini yoga with Kirtan Kriya matched the gold standard memory training on verbal memory, and outperformed it on executive function, mood, and resilience.

University of Pennsylvania

Brain imaging studies with Andrew Newberg, M.D., one of the leading researchers of meditation and the brain, documented increased blood flow in memory related regions during the practice.

West Virginia University

Randomized controlled trials in adults with subjective cognitive decline studied the practice against music listening, with both arms practicing twelve minutes a day.
