Iron rules of health - 8

[Guest guest]

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.

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.
