We think of hair styles as a matter of personal preference, but it is much more than that. Nature put every hair on your body for a reason. The natural intelligence of the body is to maintain its hairs. The hair of the legs regulates the glandular system and stabilizes a person’s electromagnetic field. The hair under the armpits protects the very sensitive area where the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems come together; this affects the brain and your energy level. Eyebrows protect the eyes from sun and sweat. Facial hair on men covers the moon center on the chin and protects them from excessive moon energy. The hair on top of the head is very long, while the hair on the body is short. If it were only for warmth, the hair on the body would be long also. The loss of hair is denotes stress and dis-ease in the body.

         Hair is an extension of your thoughts, it is a representation of your feelings and your life situation. The way a people comb (the alignment of thought), braid (the oneness of thought), tie (the securing of thought) and color (the conviction in thought), their hair is of great significance.  Each hair style represents a different frame of mind.  Thus hair is just not a fashion accessory for aesthetic advancement, it’s literally the pinnacle of spiritual expression and is a source of strength, intuition and power.

          Your hair is also your antenna to receive a picture of the subtle world around you, to tell when people are lying, to feel things before they happen, etc.. It is an information highway between the brain and the outer environment, when it is cut the receiving and sending of transmissions is interfered with and cut. Thus the cutting of hair by oppressors has long represented the submission and defeat of a people.

           An example of this Genghis Khan made the the conquered people of China cut their hair and made them wear bangs over the forehead to humiliate them. (Bangs cover the 3rd eye, inhibiting intuition and subtle knowledge.)

          During the Vietnam war, the war department sent experts to look for talented recruits among Native Americans, who were blessed with special supernatural and tracking abilities. However after undergoing military haircut they could no longer sense the enemy, they lost their intuition power and couldn’t access subtle extrasensory information.

          People who have long hair tend to be less tired, more energetic and less likely to become depressed. Think of the story of Samson and Delilah in the Bible! He lost his strength when she cut his hair!

          People who have long hair also conserve energy and don’t feel the cold of winter the same as people with short hair, thus a person who has short hair wastes his body’s energy.

          If we truly were made in the image of something divine, why not embrace our natural state? Yogi Bhajan, the guru who introduced Kundalini Yoga to the United States, on the topic of cutting one’s hair said, “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… 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… Your hair is not there by mistake
