Abstract
Research on Simplified kundalini yoga (SKY) Nine Centre Meditation using Bio-well Gas Discharge Visualization (GDV) has not done earlier which motivated the researchers to conduct the study.The purpose of the research was to study the immediate effect of SKY Nine Centre Meditation on brain functionality balance and Chakra alignment.Fourteen yoga college male students underwent SKY Nine Centre Meditation.The Brain Functionality Balance and Chakra Alignment were measured before and after the practice using Bio-Well GDV.The data were analyzed using paired t-test.The post-test mean score of Brain Functionality Balance and Chakra alignment improved but not significantly increased.SKY Nine Centre Meditation showed improvement in Brain functionality Balance and Chakra alignment.The consistent practice of SKY Nine Centre Meditation can improve Brain Functionality Balance and Chakra Alignment of the college students.The study recommends for further studies with randomized controlled trials and large sample.
