Medical meditation for habituation and addiction
Eight chakra (white): Aura, the electromagnetic field surrounding our body Eighth chakra notes: protects us from negativity and depression; projects who we are into the world. Practice time: 5-7 minutes. Can build to 31 minutes Watch time: 11:22 Additional comments: The yogis say that this Medical Meditation is one of a class of meditations that will become well-known to the future medical society. The pressure exerted by the thumbs triggers a rhythmic reflex current into the central brain. This current activates the brain area directly underneath the stem of the pineal gland. It is said that it is an imbalance in this area that makes mental and physical additions seemingly unbreakable. In modern culture, the imbalance is pandemic. If we are not addicted to smoking, eating, drinking or drugs, we are addicted subconsciously to acceptance, advancement, rejection, emotional love, etc. All these lead us to insecure and neurotic behavior patterns. The imbalance in this pineal area upsets the radiance of the pineal gland itself. It is this pulsating radiance that regulates the pituitary gland. Since the pituitary regulates the rest of the glandular system, the entire body and mind go out of balance. This Medical Meditation helps to correct this problem. It is excellent for everyone but particularly effective for rehabilitation efforts during drug dependence, mental illness and phobic conditions. |
