SRINU KRIYA GLIA GYM – 4
BRAIN ARCHITECTURE
Hai Friends,
            In the body sense and visulisation images of meditation are collected by PET Scanning.   Some evidences from mediator brain – when they imaging sensation of weight on various parts of the body, several areas including the frontal lobe and anterior cignulate cartex (A-25) were activated in the mediators brain when he visualize landscape, visual regions in the occipital lobe became active.  Self photo imagination vision lit up with activity in the surrounding areas of the superior parietal lobe.  Mediators brain wave revealed increase in theata activity and higher release of Dopamine Neuro Transmitter Associated with feelings of pleasure.

            The cortex is only 3 to 5 millimeters thick, but takes up more than a third of brain’s volume, because it is folded like the shell of a walnut into a maze of hills and valleys.  Anterior cingulate cortex involves in regulating the autonomic nervous system, including heart rate, breathe rate and B.P.   Parietal lobe play a role in both sense and spatial perception.  Somatosensory cortex analyses information relating to pain, pressure, touch, and temperature from all parts of the body.  The inner Hippocampus, Amygdala are the heart of the memoy and emotions.  The temporal lobe is also involved in hearing (Nadha), as it contains the auditory cortex, the chief brain are for sound and speech processing.  Occipital lobe which contain the primary visual cortex. 

            Dear friends above evidences give you clarity of meditation.  In GYM we can improve our physical muscles.  In Glia Gym we improves our brain parts and nervous system.  Weights play main role in normal Gym, but in our Glia Gym Glia plays main role.  Prefrontal cortex (inside of the forehead) insula (White matter), Area-25, Images are most important in our practice.  So, we have to improve more awareness in this area.  Initially practice A-25 meditation or Brain jogging Youtube, from our previous achieves. 

            Meditation increase the size of the brain internally and externally.  Along with size of the brain, inner population of the neurons and glias populations also increases.  From the childhood to oldage daily neuro genses takes place in Hippocampus.  In 30 days baby neurons grows as a neuron with the help of BDNF.    Glia’s carry this neurons to the necessity areas of the brain.  With in two weeks a new work must be allotted to the neurons for survivelence and establishing.  Without work new ones died in two weeks.  Daily in this process we are loosing valuable neurons!  Old neurons cannot learn new technology; only new ones can learn and survive.   By this new one can learn new technology, at any age.   Our brain plasticity, memory increases to the max.  If you learn more technology, you can save many new neurons, you will become a multi talented person.  Meditation Genisis the new neurons and establish them by learning new technology, improves yours brain plasticity and memory, as a skyrocket. 

            Please don’t confuse with related topics.  Our body assimilates protein along with carbohydrates only.  Related topics are like carbohydrates, They assimilate the main practice (Proteins) to the max.  (Contd…5-18)

SRINU-KRIYA- SUPER- CENTENARIAN - 4


SRINUKRIYA SUPER CENTENARIAN – 4
Hai friends,
 
                         These naturally blessed Super Centenarian Sisters are Grandmaa’s of my scientific guide – Srinivas Nemani, Kakinada – A.P. – IND, who always collects Neuro topics globally. 

                        Ageing muscle appears to be “Anabolically” resistant to nutrients compared to young and healthy muscle.   Exercise can overcome this.  Banana + Whey Protein is rapidly digested and leads to greater protein gains compared with casein protein, particularly in elders.  A recent study in healthy men and women confirmed the greater thermic response of a protein-rich meal compared to a carbohydrate-rich meal.  One Hypothesis to explain reduced food intake is linked to reduction in olfactory capacity.   The decaffeinated coffee with high chlorogenic acid content increased alertness, reduced feelings of mental fatigue, and decreased the number of reported headaches.  Better to live with same age group.  “LIVE LONGER” but to “LIVE BETTER”.

                        Hot new field of biology called Epigenetics, which studies how environmental influences can etch chemical modifications in DNA and thus introduce life long changes in the activity of genes (jumped genes).  Environmental influence produce new neurons from stem cells (Neuro genesis), and fix them in the needed circuits.  Epigenetics can produce new genes, neurogeneses produce new neurons, both works on environmental influences .  Genes probably account for only 25 percent of longevity.  Environment can fill the remaining 75%.   And don’t forget this chance (opportunity). 

                        Ayurveda calculated the human average span of life as thousands months (Thousand full moon days) (83 years).  For the longevity they follows Kayakalpa & Panchakarma Chikitsa.  Generally they follows Shat Kriyas, Herbal & Minerals.   For more details visit our previous archives.

                        The Hippocampus is particularly Vulnerable to the neurotoxic effects of obesity, diabetes mellitus,  Hyper Extension, Hypoxic Brain Injury, Obstructive Sleep Apnoea, Bipolar Disorder, Clinical Depression and Head Truma.   Age related atrophy in the Hippocampus is the main hurdle to long life.  With the ageing process, the Hippocampus has a greater prosperity to atrophy than other regions of the brain.  The rate of Hippocampal Atrophy accelerate with a number of Diseases.  Reversal of this process can be achieved by improving physical fitness, and by engaging in cognitively stimulating meditation practices. 

                        Neuroplastic changes with cognitive stimulation are not limited to the hippocampus.  Meditation, juggling, mirror reading, reading, writing, cross world puzzles, exercise, train sessions increase grey matter volume in the frontal, parietal and temporal lobes.  Neuroplaticity and an increase in the volume of grey matter are not unique to hippocampus.  Indeed challenging activities that require intense training and practice can also cause an increase in the volume of cortical areas, engaged in performing the specific task. 

                        Scientific studies have documents changes in the, cerebellar vermis in basket ball players, in the parietal lobe in mathematicians, in broca’s area in symphony orchestra musicians and in the sensorimotor cortex in ballet dancers.    The structural changes in the brain could be the result of axonal remodeling, synaptogenesis,  Gliogensis, neurogensis, an increase in neural cell size, or an increase intestinal fluid or blood flow with in the organ.  Meditation have a protective effect and increasing effect on hippocampus, and important parts of the brain.  (Contd… 5 of 9) 11th  November.

SRINU- KRIYA - SUPER- CENTENARIANS - 3


SRINU KRIYA – SUPER CENTENARIANS  - 3


Hai Friends,

                        As the brain ages, the graymatter shrinks and the white matter starts to breakup.  Shrinkage is particularly evident in the prefrontal cortex, where high-level thinking and reasoning takes place, and the Hippo-campus, which place center role memory.   There are fewer receptors and other protein too, but most dramatic fall in the amount of dopamine a neuro transmitter, whose many functions include movement control, general motivation and learning.  From early adult hood onwards, Dopamine levels drops by about 10% per decade, making it a powerful marker of brain aging 

                        Aerobic exercise can slow cognitive decline by stimulating production of BDNF, which help the growth of new blood vessels, not only in the muscles being exercised but in the brain as well.   Several studies have shown that people of all ages can improve their performance on specific computer tasks in which they train.   Grand child wins short runs – Grandfa’s wins marathon runs.  Low metabolic rate is also important.

                        Shortening of telomeres (DNA caps on the tips of the chromosomes) disturbs stem cells.  With a ready supply of active stem cells, older muscles might be made stronger, falling brains could become less prone to cognitive lapses, and aged bone marrow could be better able to produce the infection fighting T-and B-Cells.   If stem cells in older people could be made to retain their effectiveness, perhaps broken bones and skin wounds could be made to heal faster and, with time, we might be able to treat the conditions of oldage such as dementia and heart disease.   A landmark experiment showed the dramatic effect that external factors could have on stem cells.  Stem cells in old tissue enliven their environment and the signal can carry. 

                        The Gut Microbiota appears to be driven by what people eat.  Elder people olfactory lobe losses it’s efficiency, so they typically cannot taste or smell as well as they used to, decreasing the appeal of some foods.  Older people tend to have a much more balanced diet, which more fiber, protein chicken and only fish.  Telomerase reverse transcriptse (TERT) resulted in 24% extension of longevity without increasing the risk of cancers.(Contd... 4-9) 1st November.

INTENSIVE- SRINU- KRIYA- (KUNDALINI- &- NEURO- GENESIS)


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.

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.
