Happiness & Success Does happiness leads to success or success leads
to happiness?
“People think I am happy because I am successful.
Actually it’s the other way – I am successful because I am
happy” – Richard Branson
Happiness We are doing every thing in our life to be Happy, isn’t it? In whatever we do, are we more effective when we are happy or
unhappy (angry, sad, depressed, …)? How does our Happiness graph look like? …

Mindfulness and Neuroscience
12
Reduced brain wave frequency (EEG);Deep relaxation
Reduced Gray Matter in Amygdala Reduced fight/flight instinct Reduced fear, anxiety
Increased Gray Matter in Neocortex Higher awareness, learning
Neurotransmitters:Dopemine (anti-depressant)Oxytocine (love & pleasantness)Serotonin (self-esteem & confidence)Opiates (pain killer)…

Mind
Body
Human System Musculo-skeletal system – solid body
Circulatory System carries physical objects like food, water, oxygen,…
Respiratory System carries air
Nervous System carries electrical signals
Energy Centers & Channels carry Energy (like electromagnetism, which does not require a medium to propagate)
These Energy systems are called Chakras & Nadis in Indian systems like Ayurveda & Yoga
7 major Chakras and 72,000 Nadis

The Technologies for Mindfulness
MeditationPranayama
Yogasana Mudra
SoundSanskrit Language
MusicMantras
MedicineFood
Life StyleEducation
Meditation Physiological level
Meditation takes the brain to Alpha state & below : electrical impulses of 8 to 14 cycles per second (EEG)
At deep meditation level (Samadhi state) brain goes to Theta state: electrical impulses of 4 to 7 cycles per second
Leads to deep relaxation
Meditation
Clinical research also has shown that Meditation: Stimulates release of neurotransmitters including Dopamine
(antidepressant), Oxytocin (love & pleasantness), Serotonin (self-esteem & confidence), Opiates (painkillers).
Increases gray-matter in Hippocampus (brain area important for learning & memory) and reduces gray-matter in Amygdala (brain area related to anxiety & stress)
Mind rules the body Mind Nervous system Endocrine system rest of the body
function 90% the diseases are psychosomatic
Exercise – Mindfulness Meditation
20
Pranayama… Increases absorption of oxygen into the hemoglobin by
creating inhale pressure in lungs for osmosis E.g. Ujjai breath
Increases the removal of carbon dioxide from the blood plasma by creating exhale pressure in lungs for osmosis
E.g. Bastrika pranayam 90% of toxins are expelled through breath: ~ 20,000 times per
day circulating ~ 5000 liters of air per day
Increases oxidation and liberation of energy in every cell of the body
Air filter analogy in automobiles
Stimulates nerve tips in lungs which have connection to the brain area (hypothalamus) where Pituitary Gland is situated
Pituitary Gland is the master gland in the endocrine system and has a strong influence on rest of the endocrine glands
Pranayama Balancing the Nadis: Nadi ShuddhiPranayama
Alternate nostrils Balances Ida, Pingala Nadis Left Brain (Logic) and Right Brain (Emotions)
Whole Brain thinking Decision/Choice making with Head, Heart and Gut – IQ, EQ, SQ Holistic Intelligence: Intellectual Intelligence, Emotional
Intelligence, Intuitive Intelligence
IQ EQ
Exercise – Nadi Shuddhi Pranayama

Yogasanas
Yogasanas bring alignment of body, mind and energy Yogasanas exercise different parts of the body precisely They combine with breathing
They create flexibility and hollowness, lightness Postures: Stretch & hold Helps in flow of water, food, oxygen, electrical signals and flow
of energy in the body
They are Isometric exercises As against Isotonic exercises of aerobics, gym exercises which help
to build muscles which reduce the flexibility & become blockers over a period of time (aerobics are useful to exercise the heart)
Mudra
Mudras are like Energy Circuits Five Fingers have correspondence to Five Elements (Pancha Bhutas)
of Existence Thumb: Fire Pointing finger: Air Middle finger: Ether Ring finger: Earth Little finger: Water
Combinations of fingers create different energy circuits and modulate these elements in the system
Mudras move the Energy Body to different Chakras
Ref: Dr. Masaru Emoto, IHM Research Institute, Japan
Water crystal photographs:Before & After certain Mantras, Prayers, Thoughts
Effect of Sound Certain sounds produce powerful vibrations in the body as
well as in the outside world Most recent modern physics, String Theory, talks about entire
universe as being nothing but energy vibrations Sound & Thought have great effect on water
70% of human body is water Imagine the effect of Sound http://www.masaru-emoto.net/english/water-crystal.html

Second Brain in the Stomach
Intuitive Intelligence - Gut
Emotional Intelligence - Heart
“Biology of Transcendence” from Neurophysicist Joseph Chilton-Pearce
Heart is composed of large number of neurons and is an organ of intelligence
Heart is the source of body’s strongest electromagnetic field
Sanskrit/Indian Languages
It is a DISCOVERED language and the language designed to enhance the Energy system
Each alphabet is designed to produce certain vibrations in the system Words are designed out of alphabets such that they produce right beneficial
vibrations Grammar is designed to combine alphabets & words such that right
vibrations are amplified

Human Body as the Energy System
Modern Science & Medicine consider human body as merely electro-chemical, electro-mechanical and physical phenomena
Ancient Indian & Eastern Spiritual Sciences consider it as an Energy System
Universal Cosmic Energy (everything is common at atomic level) Yoga – union of body, mind and spirit Kriya Yoga – Chakras and Naadis Holistic Ayurveda (deals with Prakrati (nature) in total) Reiki (which means life force in Japanese; Started by Dr. Mikao
Usui a doctor and Buddhist monk during 1860s) Thai Chi, Acupressure, Acupuncture (originated in China)
Acupressure & Acupuncture was originally developed by Shukracharya (Sage of the Asuras) in India many thousands of years back
Homeopathy (Started by Dr. Hahnemann a doctor in Germany during 1800s)
Science of Homeopathy: Medicine of Energy System
Basic principle: what causes disease cures the disease also when given in the potenticized form
Homeopathic medicine preparation Potencization through the process of tritration Transfer of atomic vibrations to the base substance. Not even a
single molecule of medicinal material will be present according to Avogadro number
Curing principle Right medicine creates energy vibrations in the human system
(resonance principle) This increases the energy level to improve the health
conditions Typically causes initial aggravation and subsequently cures
with oscillations Cures inside-out: Mind Emotional level Physical level
Mind & Emotional symptoms are the key for diagnosis
Food Right foods are identified based on the Energy constitution
rather than just physical nutritional qualities like protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, …
Foods with positive Pranic Energy Ashguard, Fruits, Nuts, Honey, Coconut,…
Foods with neutral Pranic Energy Potato, Tomato
Foods with negative Pranic Energy Onion, Garlic, Asephoteda, Brinjal, Coffee, Tea, Chilli, …
Food in cold storage has low pranic energy It’s best to eat cooked food before 2 hours after cooking
…
Life Style Early to bed, early to rise
Penal gland – the endocrine gland in the brain Sleep-wake cycles, body rhythm
King’s breakfast, normal man’s lunch, poor man’s dinner
Digestion, metabolism …
Clinical Research Results of Energy Technologies
