Managing Stress as a Medical Student

The Neutral Mind Kriya is a meditation technique in Kundalini Yoga that promotes mental clarity, emotional balance, and inner peace. In a world filled with constant stress and distractions, this practice helps to calm the mind and stabilize the nervous system. Using breathwork, mantra repetition, and focused concentration, the Neutral Mind Kriya cultivates a state of neutrality, allowing us to approach life’s challenges with greater clarity and less reactivity. It is a valuable practice for those looking to reduce stress, improve focus, and maintain emotional stability.


A Simple Meditation for Mental Relief

This kriya became part of my daily routine. Even just a few minutes of practice gave me a small break from stress. It includes  breath techniques and gentle stretches , like  alternate nostril breathing, butterfly pose, and pelvic lifts , which help calm the mind and body.

Here’s what I noticed after practicing it regularly:

✅  A small break from stress  – The breathing helped me feel a little more steady.
✅  Clearer focus  – My mind felt less crowded, making it easier to concentrate.
✅  Less tension in my body  – The stretches helped relieve the stiffness in my shoulders.
✅  More ease in my day  – I still had a lot to study, but I felt like I could handle it better.



How This Meditation Became Part of My Routine

Being a constant practitioner of Kundalini Yoga for the past 8 months has been an incredibly transformative experience for me, yet I’m constantly discovering new layers to this practice. The scope of Kundalini Yoga is vast, and it’s far more than just breathing and stretching. While I’ve made progress in calming my mind and finding moments of inner peace, the journey feels far from complete.


Most mornings,  I woke up already thinking about everything I had to do.

"Did I study enough?" "Will I remember everything for the exam?"

My mind was busy before the day even started.

One evening, after a long day of studying, I sat at my desk feeling exhausted. My shoulders were stiff, and my head felt heavy. No matter how much I tried to focus, nothing was sinking in. I knew I needed a break.

I came across the Neutral Mind Kriya and thought, Why not give it a try for a week?

By the third day, I noticed my mind felt a little lighter. I still had a lot to do, but the stress felt easier to handle. By the end of the week, I could focus a little better.

The stress didn’t go away—exams were still coming, and I still had a lot to study. But I found a way to pause, take a breath, and feel a little more steady.


The Neutral Mind Kriya became an integral part of my practice, revealing its subtle power over time. At first, I didn’t expect it to completely dissolve the stress I was carrying, but as I committed to it each day, I began to notice a shift. While the intensity of my thoughts didn’t vanish, my mind began to feel more centered, quieter, and less reactive. It wasn’t a cure-all, but it brought a newfound sense of calm, making it easier to face the demands of my studies and daily life with more clarity and composure.
