Study on Punjab de-addiction pilot to be published

NEW JERSEY: A New Jersey based medical publication, The Journal of

Ethnicity in Substance Abuse, has announced its plan to publish a

study on a de-addiction pilot program conducted in Amritsar, India

during 2004-2005.

 

The study, undertaken by researchers at the Department of Medicine,

Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and the

Kundalini Research Institute, documents the effectiveness of a

Kundalini-yoga-based de-addiction program.

 

The 90-day pilot program was conducted by 3HO SuperHealth in

conjunction with the Punjab state government. This program was

developed by Yogi Bhajan in 1973. The study suggests that the

integration of yogic and religious components into the de-addiction

process was a key factor in helping the patients become healthier and

more confident.

 

The program reduced stress, depression and anxiety; and improved their

emotional and social well-being, leaving the program ready to maintain

their sobriety.

 

According to Mukta Kaur Khalsa, Director for 3HO SuperHealth, the

de-addiction pilot program in Punjab combined western therapeutic

approaches with eastern spiritual practices - including Gurbani kirtan

(chanting), Gatka sessions (Sikh martial arts), visits to meditate and

do selfless service at the Golden Temple, and the practice of

Kundalini Yoga and meditation.

 

Seventy percent of the people who participated in the de-addiction

program were Sikhs. The study is expected to be printed in the Journal

sometime this year.

 

It will help create awareness about the 3HO SuperHealth approach. " One

of Yogi Bhajan's long-term visions was to have Sikh youth camps -

where the youth who are addicted to drugs can get treatment. That's

not something that can happen this month or this year. But it's

something we hope to accomplish one day, " it says.
