Totally clueless (Meditation as Food) - some follow up

[Guest guest]

One other thing.

In my earlier post Meditation was spoken of. Much, if not most of

the meditations in Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan are verbal.

We chant. We resonate through our mouths which has an impact deep in

our psyche (the body). We can transform any

tension/discomfort/blockage sometimes called pain, by simply giving it

a voice, whether it be feeble one or raucous one. Couple that sound

with Mantra** and you got a powerful technology. A negative can be

made into a positive, or a poison made into something harmless. We

know that our words can elevate us or bring us down, and so need to

speak from as deep a "here and now" truth as we can so as to provide

nourishment for ourselves and those around us. Sometime it's humor

that's the shortest route***. Studies have attributed improved health

and well-being to laughter as it triggers the release of endorphins.

It's been demonstrated that neuroendocrine and stress-related hormones

decreased during episodes of laughter, which provides support for the

claim that humor can relieve stress.

 

Additionally, when we chant we vibrate and stimulate the meridians*

and the Master Glands which will have profound effects on our state of

physical, emotional balance and mental balance. With something close

to 200 different glandular secretions, and with so many levels of

emotion and feeling, it's no wonder we sometimes feel a little out of

control.

 

The point here, is that one doesn't need to be capable of standing on

their head.

 

I didn't ask but how is your Blood Sugar?

The Millet Diet certainly can't hurt
