INTENSIVE SRINU KRIYA (KUNDALINI & NEURO GENESIS)

Hai Friends,

I am very happy and esteemed to introduce an intensive Srinukriya (ISK).  This is an integral practice of Ancient Kundalini Yoga.  Kudalani is an intensive practice of Yoga System and Advanced Neuro Science.   At present no authorized texts are available on Kundalini.  Mainly yoga solves the “Inner” Life problems.  The facts of higher yoga can neither be proved nor be demonstrated.  Patanjali Maharshi a master mind has written 196 Yoga Suthras. He has condensed the essential philosophy and techniques of yoga in a manner which is marvelous of condensed and systematic exposition.   In the olden days all students of Yoga were made to commit it to memory and meditate regularly and deeply on the sutras for bringing out their hidden meanings.   So in those days there was no necessity of practical guide (Prayoga Sastry) to yoga sutras.   Every student has different self-acquired meanings on yoga sutras.  Basically yoga sutras give the main clues of Kundalini.   Lot of research was conducted on yoga suthras which is still continuing.

                        Pathanjali’s is unique to the practitioner is Samyamana (Dharana-Dhyana – Samadhi).  Ancient Yogic students follows the same.  Memory – Meditation – Meaning (M3).  Samyamana(M3) is a thunderbolt  to the yogic practitioner.  We can also understand them as Itchha Sakti  (Will Power), Kriya Sakthi (Practice), Jnana Sakti (Knowledge or Wisdom).  M3 plays maximum role in solving the inner life problems.  Advanced Neuro Science can analyse these facts of higher Yoga to some extent. 

                        At present Neuro Scientist claims the brain, which completes 40,000 hours of ordinary meditation, can attain its maximum potentiality.   It is a very lengthy process.   ISK practice is an integral approach.    So, it can provide maximum potentiality to the brain within a short time.  Previous meditation systems work in a Biofeedback manner.  Whereas ISK directly stimulate the brain hubs.

  

EXERCISE &  PRANAYAMA ::

                         In every exercise schedule you must attain body’s metabolic rate.  Anaerobic exercises (Higher Runs, Power lifting) have maximum medical values.  Metabolic rate and Anaerobic conditions improve the BDNF (Brain Protein) in the brain.  BDNF is most important in establishing and survival of new neurons.

                        Pranayama improves Aerobic system of the body and brain.  Mainly concentrate on Ujjiva (long breath) and Kapalabhati (short breath) Pranayamas, they provide theta and gama waves in the brain.  Like many other organs the brain response is positively to exercise, a good diet and adequate sleep can increase the number of neural connections.   In specific region of the brain, thereby improving memory and reasoning ability, they would take better care of themselves.  

                        Neuro Scientists found that exercising of mice in a running is sufficient to nearly double the number of dividing cells in the Hippocampus, resulting in a Robust increase in new Neurons.   That a mental work out can buff up the brain, much as physical exercise builds the body.   Particular brain exercising activities would help keep those new neurons around. 

MEDITATION ON BRAIN PARTS :

                        Visualise the brain parts tags and their functions.

MEDITATION ON NEURONS :

        First of all visualize a Neuron in yours prefrontal cortex for one minute.  Next visualize on every part of the neuron namely for one minute and its functions Dendrites – Collect Neuron impulses, Head – Soma, Nucleus, Chromosomes, DNA, Genes, Mitochondria, Cytoplasm, Micro tubes, Axon, Mylin Sheath, Ionic Openings, Synaps, Receptors,  Neuro transmitters their functions for one minute. Synaptic knob thickness decides the level of long memory ability, it is controlled by genes.  Synaptic Neurotransmeters   combination prepares genes proteins, for Morality, Spirituality etc. blue print of the genes works start from the Synaps cleft only. 

 
NEURO GENESIS AND SYNAP GENESIS :

                        Previously, we know that a mature adult brain remains stable, unchanging, computer like machine with fixed memory and processing power, loose brain cells.  In 1960 – 1970 several group of researches showed that the axons or main branches of neurons in the adult brain and spinal cord can regrow to some extent after injury.   Although the skin, liver, heart, kidneys, lungs and blood can also generate new cells to replace damaged ones, at least to a limited extent.  You can’t teach an old dog new tricks, and certainly as adults, many of us find it painful to learn something completely new.

                        Brain Plasticity is highly dependent on environmental stimuli that increase Neurogensis, Dentric branching, Number of Dendritc spines and synaptic strength.    Neurons and Glia are produced through out life from neural stem cells, which are located in lateral ventricles, and sub granular zone of the Hippocampal Dentate Gyrus. The birth of new brain cells is not a single step process.  So called multipotent neural stem cells divide periodically in brain, giving rise to other stemcells and to progeny that can grow up to either neurons or support cells named Glia.  On average only half of the make the trip, the rest die.  It takes more than one month from when a new neuron is formed from a stem cell unit it becomes fully functional and able to send and receive information.

                        BDNF, the neuro trophic and insulin like growth factor play important role in keeping the cells alive and encouraging them to mature and become functional.  In the adult brain new born neurons have been found in Hippocampus and in the Olfactory bulbs.  Environment can affect the wiring of the brain and neurogenesis.   Thousands of new cells are generated in the adult brain every day, particularly, in the Hippocampus, a structure involved in learning and memory.   With in a couple of weeks, most of those newborn neurons will die, unless the human is challenged to learn something new.    Genes checks the neuro genesis. 

                        Day-1 stemcell give rise to a cell destined to become a new neuron.  Day-7 : New cell migrates and becomes an immature neuron.  Day-14 : New neuron is active and wired into a learning network.  Stimulating neuro genesis would also lead to new type of treatment for depression.  In epilepsy where it appears that new cells are born but then migrate to the wrong locations, finding ways to redirect errant neurons could be the key.   Neuro Scientists found evidence for Gama Waves signalings between distant cortical areas and the spiking of the neurons in the Hippocampus and the cortical areas strongly influenced by synchronous oscillation of brain theta waves.  Gama and theta waves plays main role in brain plasticity.

KUNDALINI : 

                        Gaining a little bit of control, on autonomous nervous system of the body, by meditating on chakras (Nerve flexes) was called as Kundalini Vidya.  But this little bit of control has maximum scientific benefits, which helps Human evaluation.   Defining Kundalini is highly impossible.  First of all you must know the basics of the Kundalini science.  Kundalini Books are available from Bihar School of Yoga, Sivananda Asramam, Himalayan Institute, Theosophy, Motilal Banarasi Das, Ganesh & Co. etc or joining in a Kundalini training institutes.  Normal Kundalini meditation works as a Biofeed back system.   In most of the Kundalini meditation practitioners concentrate on their own vertebra trigger points (nerve flexes).  This triggered vertebra nerves stimulate the concern brain areas.  By this practice vertebra nerves and concerned brain areas generate new neurons (Neuro & Sypnatic Genesis), which will improves brain plasticity.   External stimuli on important parts of the body stimulates neurogenesis. 

             Kundalini meditation works as a Nano type of Meditation.  Ex: Manipura Chakra has one main & 10 Sub Trigger points (One center & 10 Petals) when we meditate on these eleven points of Manipura one by one for a minimum required time, automatically 10 areas of the brains occipital lobes are also stimulated & Neuro genesis takes place.  If you practice on six chakras simultaneously one by one, totally you stimulate 50 areas of the brain.  With a high intensive practice of 20 rounds of meditation (required time) on 6 chakras, astonishingly stimulate’s 1000 areas of the brain and in all the areas neurogenesis takes place.  Yogis claim this stage as Sahsrara Siddhi.  This is only the scientific secrete of Kundalini.    But this practice requires number of years to attain the target.   Don’t practice it directly.   Much science and technology is needed.   So practice in the presence of your Kundalini Coach only.  Fifty trigger points awareness is most important.

                        With the help of a drop of pain balm application, you can identify your trigger points easily.    By breath, pulse, nadha, you have to stimulate the 50 trigger points of the chakras.   Much patience and strength is needed for all these above practices.   Attaining finer awareness on 50 trigger points and physical energy is most important in Kundalini practice.

ISK PRACTICE :

            Generally in SK practice we stimulate Area-25 by inside and outside breath awareness.  Area-25 is the trigger point of the brain and it stimulates all the areas of the brain.  At present the deep brain stimulation works on the same basis. 

                        For ISK practice you must daily practice Pranayama few rounds.   Weekly once physical exercise, brain parts and neuro meditation, Kundalini 50 trigger points meditation is suffice.

                        ISK Meditation practice requires 30 minutes.   First 10 Minutes meditation practice with Kapalabhathi stimulation on A-25 (Stimulate Neurogensis). Next 10 Minutes meditation with Ujjiva Pranayama stimulation on A-25 (establish the new neurons).  Remaining 10 Minutes meditation on the pre-frontal cortex with new topics (New Neurons learned the working ability).   Kapalabhati stimulate total brain and attains anaerobic condition (Gama wave) which stimulate Neurogensis.  Ujjiva Pranayama (Theta) establish new neurons.   New topic meditation (Nadha + Creativity) encourages learning to the new neurons.   This improves brain plasticity and help in survival of new neurons.

                        In ISK practice A-25 Kahapabhati, Ujjiva Stimulation, New topic meditation are most important for Neurogenesis establishing and learning please make note new born neurons die in one week unless you challenge them to learn something new.

WISH YOU A HAPPY & MEMORABLE  NEW YEAR

Learned to challenged your new born neurons everyday, automatically your brain will become a new one.

DOG- WAGGING- THE- TAIL - 3

DOG WAGGING THE TAIL - 3

Hai Friends,

                      Some Yogi’s Ex: Shiridi Saibaba, Swami Satyananda Saraswathi of Bihar School of Yoga, Swami Rama of Himalayan Institutes etc. have used to  a dog as their companion, because dogs have the highest range of senses abilities than human.  In kennels different breads show different abilities.  Dob performs as bodyguard, Shepherd performs as Loyal – For Herding & Guarding sheep, Labrador Retriever performs as Gun and Guide Dog and so on.  If we provide some training on their genetical characters they exhibit their maximum potentialities.  Same as in human, if we practice different systems of Yogas, we can attain maximum abilities of our five senses and nervous system only.    Ecological conditions also plays major role in the practice.   In body building European peoples blood vessels are wider than Asians.   So European Bodybuilders have more chances to win.  

                         Human brain is easily susceptible to unrealistic, illusions, fakes, magics and Siddhis.  These spoil the brain plasticity and create hurdles in the practice.  For achieving the final goal of evolution, we have to cross all these hurdles.  As Lord Budda said “Veil upon veil shall lift, but still veil upon veil will be found behind”.  In general people expect some precognitive abilities in the dogs.  Dogs seem to react to distinct cognitive states of other dogs.  The dogs varied how they signaled a desire to play depending on the other dog’s position.   If a prospective playmate was already facing it, the dogs gave a visual signal – opening it mouth wide or bowing down into that familiar bottom-up play pose.  But if the other dog was turned away and otherwise engaged, it might instead give it friends a little nip.  Dogs don’t have any special precognitive abilities, same as in humans.  But they can send visual signals only.  Meditation can improve human cognitive abilities but they cannot provide precognition abilities.

            “Te Samadhav upasarga Vyutthane Siddhayah” Patanjali Yoga Sutras  3-38. “Siddhis are obstacles in the way of Samadhi (Theta wave) and powers when mind is out ward – turned”.  Yogis do not want to have anything to do with siddhis, because their exercise creates all kinds of temptations and distractions in his path.  But perfection means and includes the power to control all the phenomena of all the planes on which consciousness functions and so the perfect man has not only to have direct knowledge of reality.   But also knowledge and mastery of all planes on which his consciousness functions.   Yogi’s supreme wisdom, which makes the misuse of these powers impossible.

• 130 milliseconds amount of time is required for brain in car breaking.
• People who imagine flexing a muscle increase both their brain activity and muscler strength.
• More synapses canot produce more brain power.
• Human eyes carries a light sensitive protein that can double as a magnetic receptor.
• Regularly meditated people show less activity in brain networks, than the anxiety, schizophrenia, psychic disorders peoples.
• Even in heavy drinkers, alcohol consumption does not kill brain cells.  It does however, damage the end of the neurons, called dendrites, which makes is difficult for neurons to relay messages to one another.
• Brain is always 100% active; no region in a healthy brain is simply turned off.
• Regular exercise increases Glycogen storage in both muscles and the brain, where it helps to fuel neurons.  The gains were most dramatic in brain areas critical to learning and memory.

Dear Yogic friends beware of Siddhis, Magics, Illusions and fakes.

TAIL- WAGGING- THE- DOG - 2

TAIL WAGGING THE DOG ! – 2

Hai Friends,

 Dogs are my best companions.  Already I had a nickname as “Dogs Yogi”.  Companionship of a dog around or even just in mind help the people to generate more goals, feel more confident about achieving those objectives and handle stress better and lower blood pressure.   Yoga also provides the same to the practitioner.   Don’t create any fantasy and magic ideas on yoga.    Many secretes and intensive practices of yoga are thought by the unlearned, to be magical.   Learned practitioner doesn’t have any magics.   Scientific reality drive out magics.   Canine tail chasing and humans hand washings were similar to obsessive – Compulsive disorder (OCD).   Stereotyped and repetitive dog changing their tail and human hand washing were concerned to be a mental disorder (OCD).    So, always feed scientific realities to yours brain and avoid tail wagging the dog – Dog chasing their tail, incidents from yours routine life.

In our brain, 4 M.M. thickness of the Cerebral Cortex contains 86 Billion Neurons, nerve impulse speed is 220 miles per hour, produce 25 watts of power, consume 20 percent of the body’s oxygen, One hundred thousand miles of axon length (4 trips around the earth), over ten trillion synapses, 1+16 zeros calculations per second, 400 miles capillaries.   Please once visulize your brain and remains its potentiality and leads a realistic life.

Dear Friends, the only person who can chisel your personality and decide your destiny is you yourself.   You yourself is your Guru, Guide and God. 

Alcohol abusers permanently damage their Hippocampus, a brain region that regulates long term memory, and also affected frontocerebellar circuitry, which regulates decision-making, reasoning and problem solving.

• Learning causes the brain to grow and make robust synapse, cells that fire together, wire together.

• Working with horrible colleagues can generate far-reaching stress that follows you home, causing unhappiness for your spouse and family and ultimately affecting your partner’s job.

• Blinking reduces activity in the Visual Cortex and other brain regions, which prevents us from noticing the change.

• Our brain makes 2% of our total body weight but consumes 20% ours body energy.

• We don’t always want to act reflexively – That’s what makes us human.

• Our sense of mortality can lead us to re-examine our priorities in life, to become more grateful and to grow spirituality.

• Norman Editor of Saturday review had Ankylosing Spondylities,  a painful and degenerative spine disease that typically affords sufferers one –in – 500 chance of survival.  Doctor’s predicted that he had six months to live.  He surrounded himself with family and friends, watched numerous comedy films and sought out positive affirmations.  He lived 26 years after his diagnosis.

• People are quick to treat themselves after a good deed or health act.

• Some video games can be a good vehicle for training specific skills, such as enhancing short-term memory, Agility or reaction time.
