chronic ailments
like diabetes
hypertension
asthma
eating disorders and many of these kinds
which are all essentially generated from
within
all these things can be quelled from
within if only we are willing to pay a
certain level of attention to the
innermost dimension of who we are
inner engineering is a powerful process
of
approaching the inner core of who you
are in a scientific manner
and
this is definitely
a way to create a healthful life
up until
shambhavi in january 2021
i've just been living with pain in the
body the first result i'd like to point
out about chamba vikria
is that it's had a tremendous effect on
my physical
well-being somehow some way i don't know
the science behind it
but is keeping me free of pain being
able to sit
without
noticing my body
for long long periods of time that has
just had tremendous impact on my
mental and emotional
stability
[Music]
recently these papers have been
published maybe you already read it a
certain group of scientists and doctors
in united states
from indiana university some from howard
university
and florida they
studied
people
who've been practicing in engineering
the genetic tendencies
are changing simply
with the inner engineering practices
so they recorded all these things the
biomarkers and everything
one thing that determines the nature of
your experience and your mental and
emotional condition is what is called as
bdnf
that is brain derived neurotropic
factors
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
so the bdnf
is higher in a positive way
threefold
in 90 days that means
keeping your emotions in balance
keeping in a good state of experience
and sharpness of mind and pleasantness
of experience shouldn't even be a
problem there's another
dimension
you know what is a cannabinoid in india
it is known as ganja
or
everywhere else it's known as marijuana
in different places it's known by
different names
but essentially
these are plant extracts
which have a certain influence on the
mood and experience of the person
but there are millions of cannabis
receptors
both in your brain and across the body
because you are supposed to produce it
you're not supposed to smoke it
so now
with the inner engineering practices
it's clearly the biomarkers clearly
establish
that your endocannabinoid production is
significantly higher
that means you're stoned by yourself
you don't need any outside help
but the impact of the endocannabinoids
compared to the cannabinoids that come
from outside are very very different
it makes you intoxicated and super alert
at the same time
because along with it certain other
secretions happen i took inner
engineering like i said this is a yoga
class so it's not like a place where you
go to quit smoking that's not what it's
designed for but
because of taking this class
after a week i completely stopped
smoking that's after at least 20 years
of smoking a pack a day i just quit in a
week and then i quit smoking marijuana a
week later i started smoking marijuana
when i started smoking cigarettes then
anti-anxiety pills gone within the month
i stopped drinking i stopped smoking i
stopped doing all the drugs they're all
gone which is amazing and it was it
happened so effortlessly when i look
back and i didn't go to this class to
quit those things
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
genes which are fundamentally
responsible for your immune system
are also highly
enhanced
so from the laboratories in america from
the top universities in america it's
coming that clearly they're saying 220
genes which activate your immune system
they're all elevated because of the
practice
you didn't drop from heaven as some
people believe
you evolved the qualities
of an amiba
an earthworm a grasshopper a buffalo
every kind of beast
the revolution went through
elements of those qualities are still
with you
so
these are all compulsive tendencies
the evolutionary process
the modern neurology recognizes
that there is a part of your brain which
is reptilian which is approximately the
size of your fist
that means it's at that stage of
development
which is
instinctive and does things in a certain
way
[Music]
but over that
a flower
of
cerebral cortex evolved
[Music]
which is a happening
which happened after
human
spine became erect
[Music]
which is what makes you human which is
what gives you thoughts about
universality of the existence which is
what
gives you an idea
that
everything is one which is what allows
you to be a scientist this is what
allows you to be a spiritual seeker
but if you go back to this
all you have is instincts of survival
so the entire process
the human effort through education
to spiritual process through meditation
everything is
to move away from this
and function from the outer
dimension
which is a more recent
happening
but
this gives you
a sense of
seamless
way of approaching life
if you go
to the reptilian brain of who you are
fixing boundaries is all that you know
so whenever
you are
having problems with people around you
always wanting to fix your boundaries
this is mine this is yours my space your
space my air your air
when it comes you must know you've
gotten here
now the spiritual process the yogic
dimension is looking at how to make this
because if you function only from one
aspect of your brain it'll work
but
not enough you're not using all of it
there is evidence to show
that the reptilian brain
can become more transparent and starts
communicating with the outside part of
the brain there are experiments there
are studies which show that with certain
practices of meditativeness
reptilian brain which is always about
fixing boundaries will begin to
communicate with the outer part of the
cerebral cortex and it functions as one
brain
so i don't know if you
you should
the flower should open up and that is
why you will see all the imagery in the
yogic culture flower flower small
flowers small flowers mulk flower big
flower
it opened up
if it opens up
now human intelligence is functioning in
a very unifying way not in a divisive
way not in a way that you will become
exclusive you will become inclusive
inclusiveness is not a philosophy
inclusiveness is the nature of the
existence
no other creature is able to realize
this
they're all busy fixing boundaries the
dog is being all over the place
not because of urinary problems
but
he's establishing a kingdom speaking
them of course
[Music]
human beings are not any different
they're doing the same things in a
different way this is mine that is mine
that is mine that is mine fixing a
kingdom when it's possible push it a
little bit
when it's possible push it a little bit
not possible put the wall
happening all the time
so something that i
particularly noticed is how comfortable
i am within myself
my insecurities seem to have reduced a
lot
my relationship with others also had
improved significantly i think i became
more inclusive
than what i was before
shambhavi mahamudra just a simple
practice for 21 minutes
increases brain function and neuronal
regeneration this means as you grow old
you will become more intelligent usually
young people think you're getting stupid
yes
your brain is actually growing you
understand it's getting better
by the day
now there is scientific evidence we
already always knew this
but today a meter has to say if a man
says it it's not true
if a man says it it's doubtful but a
meter has to say it now the meters are
saying it
the meters are saying your brain is
actually growing by doing a simple 21
milli minute practice
and you don't believe the meter you just
do the practice for three months and see
you will see how clear and how smart
your mind is suddenly
[Music]
you
