Iron rules of health - 8

[Guest guest]

In 6th and 7th post of this series, we learnt principles of breathing

techniques aimed at increasing cellular oxygen. Along with some

yogasanas, this is the receipe which has made Baba Ramdev extremely

popular. His suceess in tackling obesity and cardiac diseases through

breathing exercises (along with some herbs of course) is pulling

crowds in millions. And after his success, many other Gurus in India

have jumped into the bandwagon, along with their followers. Some

followers who are also mainstream medicine practioners are now using

research and clinical trials to scientifically prove that breathing

techniques of their Guru are better than and in some cases can

substitute medicines. This is our India, where Guru-disciple

relationship overrides all commercial instincts! IN this post we

continue discussion on breathing.

 

To increase the benefits of breathing techniques, it is better to

undertake them after Neti. Even Nasya will multiply the benefits.

Recent discussion on Neti in the group made this author visit

message# 4788 and then he realized that some promise regarding

breathing under fan and airconditioned air remained unfulfilled. He

tries to fulfil this commitment here. Few lines from message 4788:

 

"One way of treating depression is through balancing minerals by

feeding sea salt water to brain by simple Neti technique.

Pranayama followed by Hyperventilation increases blood oxygen and

balances nadis. In the next post, author would address issues such as effect of

air-conditioning and fan on health"

 

It is appropriate to discuss the effects of these comfort machines

now. Serious students of Yoga, Ayurveda and Spiritualism need not be

told that success is though most uncomfortable path. But before we

jump into the subject, remember your high school physics texts or

laboratory class? Teacher brought a bottle containing silver rod

inserted through cork stopper, a silver bob at top of the rod, and

two gold leaves at other end of the rod lying in the bottle. He held

glass rod in hand, rubbed it on silk cloth held in other hand for few

strokes and touched the glass rod to the spherical silver bob. Thin

gold leaves at the other end of rod, which were touching each other,

separated out. This is the effect of static electricity inducing

similar charge in the gold leaves, making them repel each other. If

he took amber rod instead, separated leaves closed again, showing

opposite type of static charge. While rods develop one type of

electricity, silk cloth looses charged particles, and devlops

opposite type of electricity.

 

The static charge was induced in glass rod by rubbing it on silk

cloth, which was subsequently transferred to silver bob at top end.

The bob was similar to lightening arrester, which is fixed to roof of

tall buildings, churches. [Think why Indian temples do not have this

arrangement to obtain protection from lightening. No temple has been

destroyed in centuries due to lightening. On the other hand people

have taken shelters in temples during lightening, earthquakes. And no

major temple was ever destroyed during an earthquake. Architects and

civil engineers listening?]

 

Our spinal cord is similar to the silver rod in above experiment, the

bob represented by brain and spikes of lightening arrester are

represented by hair. They attract cosmic energy, on the principle

that objects tapering off in one direction and ending in sharp point

attract energy fields. These laws of physics are very much used for

creating intense electromagnetic fields and discharges in X-ray

tubes, U-V radiation generator for converting oxygen to ozone etc.

Similarly all antenna dishes, horns, feeds for use in Giga-Hertz

frequency range have specific shapes for better efficiency.

 

When glass rod was rubbed on silk cloth, it became charged. When

teacher brought the glass rod end near some small paper pieces, even

those were getting attracted to rod. If you comb hair rapidly using a

plastic comb, same effect on small paper balls can be seen. In the

same manner, when the blade of the fan rubs in the air it is

circulating, it becomes charged. Hence it attracts small dust

particles hanging in air, making it necessary to clean it every one

or two months. But what about air, the air which leaves fan also has

lost charge to fan blade, air too becomes charged negatively.

 

Combine this with the fact that our brain generates Cerebro-Spinal-

Fluid (CSF) which is charged positively or negatively depending on

whether our breath comes through left or right nostril. As long as

brain is able to alternate the breath through left and right nostril

periodically, no problems arises. But when air itself is charged due

to rotation of fan, breathing rate is made unequal through the

nostrils by creating an artificial nose block, if brain is not able

to open opposite nostril due to our sleeping position. To verify

this, author noted that when fan is not `ON' the periods of sleep on

left side and right side (which opens up the breath in opposite side

nostril) were more or less equal. But when sleeping with fan on,

these periods were either unequal or nose block developed. Partial

nose-block develops to balance the net result, i.e. charged CSF

remains neutral. See how much intelligence body has to keep the

electric equlibrium. When carrying out breathing techniques which

generate such charges in the body, it is necessary to ground the body

to earth by touching sole of feet to ground. If this is not done,

vibrations develop in soles of feet and palms also. By noting which

leg is showing more vibrations, one can tell which nose is more free,

or whether there was breathing unbalance through nostrils. We will be

discussing about this energy in a separate post in this series.

 

It is also well known that window air-conditioners throw out

negatively charged particles, hence if you sit in such a room, slowly

fatigue develops. Like sun throws out electromagnetic particle jet to

earth, our computer monitors are also throwing out radiation which

causes fatigue if we sit long ours before the monitor. When we sit long hours

before computer monitors, in air-conditioned environment, we have deadly

cocktail for computer professionals, the effect of which is already proven in

message# 6295. Thus

negatively charged air should be avoided as far as possible, as it

develops unbalance in CSF causing fatigue. What is the solution?

Take breaks in open air in lunch hours, instead of taking lunch in an

air-conditioned restaurants. Sleep in natural ventilation. In old days, when

electrical fans did not exist,

darbar halls and courts used to have fans, which were manually

oscillated by a person. Here, since fan was oscillating in both

directions, air charging was neutralized. Author talked these ideas

to his friends, but none of them have so far come out with a fan

which can supply neutral air. Anyone at ayurveda interested in

a patent? Author can give some ideas.

 

Even water pumped by centrifugal pumps gets charged by rubbing

action, but we will discuss water in next post. When CSF charge

becomes predominantly one type, headache develops. This is the effect

of sitting before computer monitors, in air-conditioned room or under

fans. Head heaviness is caused by increased CSF production, which can

be experienced when practicing breathing techniques which use

hyperventilation. Heavines does not cause ache. Even migraine

headache is the result of some unbalance in CSF polarity, the reason

for which can always be traced to inadequate hydration of brain cells

or unbalance in supply of energy to left and right brain. Other than

Neti, Nasya, slight massage on acupressure points relieves such

headache rapidly ( 5-10 minutes). Migrain can often be treated by

simply drinking extra sharper or polarized water. The secret of

treating diseases by magnetized water can also be explained on the

basis of cell spin and vibrational energy. Those who have trekked in

ice clad summits very well know the effect of radiations on eyes and

head.

 

Lastly, since it is a time for this type of probems in India, have

you noted that a strong headache develops if you moved in strong

summer sunlight without cap for a major part of day? Especially in

the noon, filtration of U-V rays though atmosphere is less as

sunlight is falling vertically to earth and no cloud cover. This U-V

radiation causes unbalance in CSF charges. It is necessary to cover

head by a cap/hat and also keep drinking some elctrolyte water, if

one wishes not to develop headache. For this unbalance of bio-

electrical energy, ayurvedic term is `Pitta'. Body lets out some

blood flow through nose bleed, menstrual cycle or piles, depending on

the situation. And of course the solution is certain ayurvedic

drinks which we will take up in next post, next week.

Bravo! Wonderful and scientific. I am entirely in

agreement with this thesis worth a prize and world

recognition. That is why Swami Ramdev advises yoga and

pranayam in open air or with windows wide open.
