MEDITATION ON KALPAVRIKSHA CHAKRA-2

Hai Friends,

                        As you push against your limits remember that your V+D is always there to keep your Imperturbable and steady on the high wire act of living your life to it’s fullest and maximising your potential. Equanimity is not synonymous with passivity. As you strive to push yourselves ever higher and take on bigger challenges – Do so with “Ferocious  equanimity”. Stimulating  V + D can provide this equanimity. Nauli kriya can also provide the same. Churning of abdominal Rec ti muscles, along with Gut vacuum stimulates V + D.

                        V + D have inter related actions in our body. Deep Diaphragm breathing, with long and slow exhale is a key to stimulating the VD, it slows heart rate and blood pressure, especially in the time of performance anxiety. Well conditioned athletes have higher VD tone, which results in lower resting heart rate, healthy cardiac function is directly linked and releases Acetylcholine neuro transmitter. VD acts on cerebellum, abdomen, heart and most major organs. Messages also travel “Down Stream”, signal your organs to operate “Rest and Digest” and prepare your body for “ Fight or Flight” in dangerous situation.

All the physical symptoms of performance, Anxiety, Racing heart, Sweaty palms, Dry mouth, Upset stomach,Shakiness are the results of our VD disengaging. Any time you take a deep breathe and exhale, you are triggering a biological release of acetylcholine, that will lower heart rate and blood pressure. By increasing the challenges in life, gradually you become more skilled and comfortable with more difficult tasks. Re frame priorities and values by improving relationship with friends and family, religious values, athletic ability, and being good at art. Every hurdle is an opportunity to learn. Mastery is a process. VD receives and send signals “ Top-Down” and “Bottom-Up” and Re-Wire your mind through Neuro plasticity. Western and Eastern medicines are complimentary to one another. Yoga known to improve stress related nervous system imbalances and Neuro physiology and Neuro Anatomy. VD stimulation improves, positive emotions, positive social connections, and physical health influence on one another. (Contd..14-18)

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.

• Those who regularly ate lunches no artificial flavors, preservatives or dyes did better on IQ tests than who lunches with additives.
• Half an hour a day of treadmill produce new mitochondria in our muscles.
• 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.
