Pure Healing Energy: Kundalini Energy Vs Bioenergetics!
Welcome back to the 19th episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!
Today’s episode titled “Pure Healing Energy: Kundalini Energy Vs Bioenergetics!” will tell you about bioenergetics vs kundalini and which one of the two passes to be the energy that creates life.
How do materialists look at energy? They study biological energy as ’bioenergetics
Vitalists call it Kundalini and its rise from the coccyx to the crown chakra is called Kundalini awakening.
The problem starts when the flow of this energy through the living creatures meets a blockage along its path.
According to the Chakra system, when chakras are opened along the length of Sushumna, Kundalini gets awakened and rises up to the head.
The same process, when described in materialistic terms, is the flow of biological energy in the organ cells served by the vagus nerve. As a two-way dialogue between the gut and the brain through the vagus nerve gets re-established, energy flow gets regularized.
SKELETAL LEAP, the mind body connection for mind and body healing, is a giant leap that our skeleton can take through the way it postures its joints.
I had stumbled upon this miracle many years ago, coincidentally
It took me quite a few years to analyze it fully, and then a few more to turn the results of my analysis into a feasible action plan.
I come up with a new weekly episode every Tuesday morning for miraculous healing enthusiasts to effectively start their weekdays with what they like the most!

Our body is a storehouse of all kinds of
possible miracles whether you categorize them
0:00:06.720,0:00:26.400
under the materialistic or vitalistic approach
My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to “Skeletal Leap:
0:00:26.400,0:00:34.080
A Living Adventure”. Skeletal Leap
transforms one’s life into a personal heaven.
0:00:34.080,0:00:39.520
Today’s episode will tell you about
bioenergetics vs kundalini and which
0:00:39.520,0:00:44.640
one of the two passes to be
the energy that creates life.
0:00:44.640,0:00:51.920
Who Am I: A Materialist Or A Vitalist?
That is a question I often ask to
0:00:51.920,0:00:58.560
myself. And I never get an answer.
It is because I am neither. I am just
0:00:58.560,0:01:06.160
an observer. If I observe a pattern, I want to
perceive it in its totality first. Then I let it
0:01:06.160,0:01:13.200
get ingested in my cognitive system. Once its
cognition is complete, I try to comprehend it
0:01:13.200,0:01:21.360
as a hypothesis. To me, it is a hypothesis ready
to be tested under strict laboratory conditions.
0:01:21.360,0:01:27.440
This is so even if it is a spiritual
hypothesis. Only strict laboratory
0:01:27.440,0:01:35.200
conditions can ensure its authenticity, turning
it from a hypothesis to an established theory.
0:01:35.200,0:01:42.560
In fact, I am an agnostic observer, neither a
theist nor an atheist. An unbiased observation
0:01:42.560,0:01:49.520
of patterns is what makes sense to me.
Patterns of Observation
0:01:49.520,0:01:54.560
I am generally interested in the patterns
of observations directly affecting my body,
0:01:54.560,0:02:01.760
my mind and my spirit. That way, I myself
become a laboratory for any and all of my
0:02:01.760,0:02:11.120
hypotheses. I have the luxury of being present
in my own preliminary laboratory 24 x 7 x 365.
0:02:11.840,0:02:16.720
Once my preliminary laboratory has
passed a certain hypothesis of mine,
0:02:16.720,0:02:22.880
I extend it to others because further testing
is needed to filter out a possible subjective
0:02:22.880,0:02:29.680
influence on what I otherwise maintain as a
strictly objective preliminary laboratory.
0:02:30.240,0:02:34.400
This process enables patterns
affecting my personal body,
0:02:34.400,0:02:43.680
mind and spirit to be generalized as patterns
affecting all human bodies, minds and spirits.
0:02:43.680,0:02:48.640
Bioenergetics at Work
Bioenergetics studies
0:02:48.640,0:02:57.200
the flow of energy through living creatures.
The Flow of Life Energy through The Human Body
0:02:57.200,0:03:02.720
How does energy affect the
human body, mind and spirit?
0:03:02.720,0:03:10.720
I have experienced energy bursting from my
coccyx to my crown chakra. And not just once!
0:03:10.720,0:03:18.480
I do it every time I intend to perceive it with
every single breath of mine with an extended
0:03:18.480,0:03:26.320
exhalation. An added instantaneous effect of
this rising energy is a much clearer vision.
0:03:26.880,0:03:33.680
This clearer vision is an objective feedback.
There is a plethora of other effects as well
0:03:33.680,0:03:38.000
but I will get to them later.
Where does this energy come
0:03:38.000,0:03:46.560
from? What’s the source of this energy?
Vitalists call it Kundalini and its rise from
0:03:46.560,0:03:54.640
the coccyx to the crown chakra is called Kundalini
awakening. They claim it is a non-physical cosmic
0:03:54.640,0:04:01.920
energy lying dormant at the base of the root
chakra in a living organism. This life-imparting
0:04:01.920,0:04:09.280
energy keeps lying dormant until and unless it is
awakened for bliss as well as a sense of joy even
0:04:09.280,0:04:16.960
in the most mundane activities of life.
How do materialists look at energy?
0:04:16.960,0:04:24.800
They study biological energy as ’bioenergetics’.
It is because their living cells require energy
0:04:24.800,0:04:30.800
for many of their functions including
cellular respiratory, metabolic,
0:04:30.800,0:04:38.800
enzymatic and other processes. They use
adenosine triphosphate molecules (ATP) for
0:04:38.800,0:04:46.240
this purpose of producing and utilizing energy.
There are three kinds of living creatures:
0:04:46.240,0:04:54.880
autotrophs, lithotrophs and heterotrophs.
Autotrophs (plants) receive energy from
0:04:54.880,0:05:01.360
sunlight through photosynthesis and don’t
require consuming it for themselves.
0:05:01.360,0:05:08.640
Lithotrophs including photolithotrophs (plants)
and chemolithotrophs (microorganisms) produce
0:05:08.640,0:05:17.360
adenosine triphosphate molecules (ATP)
through aerobic or anaerobic respiration.
0:05:17.360,0:05:22.960
Heterotrophs (animals) consume
adenosine triphosphate molecules
0:05:22.960,0:05:30.400
(ATP) and break them down into adenosine
diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate.
0:05:31.280,0:05:39.280
This breaking down of ATP to ADP releases energy
for the cells to use for their various needs.
0:05:39.280,0:05:47.040
Here is a list of bioenergetic processes required
for life in cells through consuming energy:
0:05:48.000,0:05:55.760
Glycolysis: releasing energy from available
glucose or breaking it down to create ATP
0:05:55.760,0:06:04.880
molecules for future energy requirement.
Gluconeogenesis: creating glucose by
0:06:04.880,0:06:10.000
breaking proteins into simpler amino
acids which can create glucose.
0:06:11.680,0:06:17.920
Cellular Respiration: is achieved when
citric acid cycle oxidizes carbon-containing
0:06:17.920,0:06:25.760
metabolites thereby creating coenzymes.
These coenzymes can later be re-oxidized
0:06:25.760,0:06:33.440
to start the citric acid cycle again.
Ketosis: is another metabolic process
0:06:33.440,0:06:39.600
achieved by using ketone bodies for
energy when glucose levels are low.
0:06:40.880,0:06:46.320
Oxidative Phosphorylation: is a
process when coenzymes initiate
0:06:46.320,0:06:56.240
electron transport chain driving ATP synthesis.
Photosynthesis: is a process in the plant cells
0:06:56.240,0:07:03.840
using solar energy to create glucose. Vitamin
D production in human cells is another kind of
0:07:03.840,0:07:12.560
photosynthesis that creates ATP molecules.
Cotransport: Sodium glucose cotransport
0:07:12.560,0:07:18.800
is another newly discovered process
facilitating intestinal glucose absorption.
0:07:20.000,0:07:25.440
Chemiosmotic Theory: is another
recently discovered major energy
0:07:25.440,0:07:31.840
facilitating process in maximum number of
cells. It functions through using protons
0:07:31.840,0:07:39.840
in aqueous solution to produce ATP molecules.
So, for materialists, it is biological energy
0:07:39.840,0:07:46.480
alone that is taken in and transformed,
primarily by way of food, in the human body.
0:07:46.480,0:07:52.000
Fair enough! They don’t want to go
along any cosmic hypothesis in the
0:07:52.000,0:07:59.680
absence of a concrete evidence for the same.
Blockages in The Flow of Biological Energy
0:08:00.480,0:08:05.760
The problem starts when the flow of this
energy through the living creatures meets a
0:08:05.760,0:08:13.600
blockage along its path. When this happens, it
takes a toll on all the energy flow processes
0:08:13.600,0:08:20.400
including cellular respiratory, metabolic,
enzymatic and others, thereby limiting the
0:08:20.400,0:08:27.120
flow of energy through the organism.
Here is a quote from Wikipedia…
0:08:27.120,0:08:32.720
Muscle cells work by detecting a flow of
electrical impulses from the brain, which signals
0:08:32.720,0:08:41.040
them to contract through the release of calcium
by the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Fatigue (reduced
0:08:41.040,0:08:48.320
ability to generate force) may occur due to the
nerve, or within the muscle cells themselves.
0:08:49.120,0:08:55.600
New research from scientists at Columbia
University suggests that muscle fatigue is caused
0:08:55.600,0:09:03.680
by calcium leaking out of the muscle cell. This
makes less calcium available for the muscle cell.
0:09:03.680,0:09:06.720
Courtesy, Wikipedia
0:09:06.720,0:09:11.040
Here is another code from Wikipedia again…
0:09:11.040,0:09:15.600
Nerves control the contraction of
muscles by determining the number,
0:09:15.600,0:09:24.480
sequence, and force of muscular contraction.
When a nerve experiences synaptic fatigue it
0:09:24.480,0:09:28.800
becomes unable to stimulate
the muscle that it innervates.
0:09:28.800,0:09:31.680
Courtesy, Wikipedia
0:09:31.680,0:09:37.840
The real question becomes: what essentially
controls the flow of this biological energy
0:09:37.840,0:09:45.440
with the purpose of producing and utilizing
it? The biologists’ answer is that the central
0:09:45.440,0:09:52.320
nervous system is responsible for the said
control in Homo sapiens. They contend that,
0:09:52.320,0:09:59.760
if the central nervous system gets compromised,
the flow will get compromised too. The entire
0:09:59.760,0:10:07.600
organism will then feel low on energy and
succumb to various kinds of lifestyle diseases.
0:10:07.600,0:10:11.920
The Vagus Nerve
How exactly does central
0:10:11.920,0:10:18.800
nervous system get compromised? It happens when
nerves that carry messages between the brain and
0:10:18.800,0:10:27.280
the organ cells get compromised. Especially
the 10th cranial nerve named the vagus nerve.
0:10:28.240,0:10:33.120
This one nerve carries the major chunk
of messages to and from the most crucial
0:10:33.120,0:10:40.720
organs. It is the longest nerve in the central
nervous system and is designed to establish an
0:10:40.720,0:10:47.760
efficient dialogue between its two ends.
These two ends are the gut and the brain.
0:10:47.760,0:10:53.280
Here is a quote from Wikipedia…
The vagus nerve, also known as the
0:10:53.280,0:11:02.320
tenth cranial nerve, cranial nerve X, or simply
CN X, is a cranial nerve that interfaces with the
0:11:02.320,0:11:11.040
parasympathetic control of the heart, lungs, and
digestive tract. It comprises two nerves—the left
0:11:11.040,0:11:17.520
and right vagus nerves—but they are typically
referred to collectively as a single subsystem.
0:11:18.160,0:11:24.480
The vagus is the longest nerve of the autonomic
nervous system in the human body and comprises
0:11:24.480,0:11:32.640
both sensory and motor fibers. The sensory fibers
originate from neurons of the nodose ganglion,
0:11:32.640,0:11:38.320
whereas the motor fibers come from neurons
of the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus
0:11:38.320,0:11:45.360
and the nucleus ambiguous. The vagus was also
historically called the pneumogastric nerve.
0:11:45.360,0:11:48.320
Courtesy, Wikipedia
0:11:48.320,0:11:52.960
How exactly does the vagus
nerve get compromised, then?
0:11:52.960,0:11:59.440
As per the analysis of Skeletal Leap, a
compromised skeletal posturing compromises
0:11:59.440,0:12:06.160
the anatomy of organs in its vicinity. The
physiology of an organ almost always gets
0:12:06.160,0:12:13.920
compromised when its anatomy is compromised. It
not only compromises the anatomy of the vagus
0:12:13.920,0:12:22.480
nerve but also organs served by it. It deforms
muscle groups and blood vessels around the organs
0:12:22.480,0:12:28.400
served by this nerve.
Formation of Chakras
0:12:28.400,0:12:33.440
This compromised anatomy gives birth to
closed chakras that are formed at seven
0:12:33.440,0:12:39.040
different locations along the length of the
vagus nerve, passing through the spinal cord.
0:12:40.240,0:12:48.400
The vagus nerve comprises two parts: the ventral
vagus and the dorsal vagus. Incidentally,
0:12:48.400,0:12:55.600
this same channel created by the vagus nerve is
referred to as Sushumna in the chakra system. And,
0:12:55.600,0:13:01.040
just like the vagus nerve, Sushumna passing
through the spinal cord also comprises its
0:13:01.040,0:13:07.200
own two parts: Ida and Pingala.
According to the Chakra system,
0:13:07.200,0:13:12.560
when chakras are opened along the length
of Sushumna, Kundalini gets awakened
0:13:12.560,0:13:20.000
and rises up to the head. It does so in a
streamlined flow without being blocked at
0:13:20.000,0:13:28.160
any of the closed chakra locations along its path.
The same process, when described in materialistic
0:13:28.160,0:13:34.160
terms, is the flow of biological energy in
the organ cells served by the vagus nerve.
0:13:35.280,0:13:41.920
As a two-way dialogue between the gut and the
brain through the vagus nerve gets re-established,
0:13:41.920,0:13:48.720
energy flow gets regularized.
Kundalini Awakening
0:13:48.720,0:13:55.920
Skeletal Leap infers that the perception of this
regularized energy flow has to be similar to the
0:13:55.920,0:14:03.920
awakening of Kundalini and its rise up to the
crown chakra. It feels like a gush of biological
0:14:03.920,0:14:10.960
energy rising up from the gut to the head
through the spinal cord. As per the materialistic
0:14:10.960,0:14:16.640
approach, it is the gush of the dialogue between
the gut and the brain getting established
0:14:16.640,0:14:24.480
instantaneously. This is accompanied by a
simultaneous and instantaneous flow of energy to
0:14:24.480,0:14:31.680
the cells of the organs served by the vagus nerve.
So we can see that the perception and feeling of
0:14:31.680,0:14:37.360
opening all the chakras together are
exactly the same. They are exactly
0:14:37.360,0:14:44.800
the same whether you look at it from the
angle of materialists or that of vitalists.
0:14:44.800,0:14:50.720
I had defined chakras as deformities in
skeletal posturing leading to deformities
0:14:50.720,0:14:58.160
in the surrounding muscles, nerves and blood
vessels. Hence, it is the deformed anatomy
0:14:58.160,0:15:05.280
of these structures that negatively affects
the physiology of systems they are a part of.
0:15:05.280,0:15:11.280
Let’s talk a bit more about energy. You might
have seen various kinds of people with various
0:15:11.280,0:15:19.280
levels of energy in their mind-body system. We
can also see similar differences in our pets.
0:15:19.280,0:15:28.640
Patterns of Energy: Warm Vs
Cold, Hot Vs Cool & Hot Vs Cold
0:15:28.640,0:15:34.800
’Warm’ and ‘cold’ are the two extremes on the
spectrum of energy levels we perceive in ourselves
0:15:34.800,0:15:43.200
and others. On the other hand, ‘hot’ and ‘cool’
are the extremes on the spectrum of our energy
0:15:43.200,0:15:50.480
balance. Of course, ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ also have
a sexual connotation where they are the extremes
0:15:50.480,0:15:58.560
on a spectrum of sexual energy levels in us.
Now, where does this difference in energy levels
0:15:58.560,0:16:08.160
come from? What makes people more passionate
for life, i.e., warm? What makes them less so,
0:16:08.160,0:16:15.200
i.e., cold? What makes them energetically
balanced and at peace with themselves, i.e.,
0:16:15.200,0:16:24.560
cool? More so, what makes them hot or cold in bed?
Are these the levels of their biological energy in
0:16:24.560,0:16:31.120
their physical systems? But I have seen many
people with a great passion for everything
0:16:31.120,0:16:38.880
around them, still falling prey to serious
lifestyle diseases. How do we explain that?
0:16:38.880,0:16:42.480
You can say those are the traits of
their personality and have nothing
0:16:42.480,0:16:49.840
to do with their level of energy. But
does this answer really make sense?
0:16:49.840,0:16:55.760
How are personalities formed? Is that a kind
of training one has learnt to live with in
0:16:55.760,0:17:04.240
one’s life? Or is the basic core of personality
more an innate phenomenon? I have seen numerous
0:17:04.240,0:17:11.520
children being born with various crying patterns.
Somehow, these patterns always gave me a hint
0:17:11.520,0:17:18.720
about what their personalities might develop like
as they grow. Whatever nurturing they may receive,
0:17:18.720,0:17:26.240
I have observed that the basic core of their
personalities grows from their innate tendencies.
0:17:26.240,0:17:32.080
Are we born with a particular energy
pattern as a seed in our mind-body system?
0:17:32.880,0:17:39.200
We need to research this further. Because,
if it is true, it strongly supports the
0:17:39.200,0:17:46.240
vitalistic hypothesis of energy.
I am keeping my fingers crossed.
0:17:46.240,0:17:52.400
At this point, I feel a need to tell
a few miraculous stories from my life.
0:17:52.400,0:17:57.600
All these stories pose a real challenge in
understanding the dynamics of miraculous
0:17:57.600,0:18:02.800
energy patterns in the body.
The Story of An Instant Energy
0:18:02.800,0:18:07.280
Spurt That Saved A Child
The first one took place
0:18:07.280,0:18:14.240
in 1966 when I was an adolescent.
I was out for a sunny winter stroll
0:18:14.240,0:18:20.800
in Dehradun. It was a city downhill from my
hometown that I was visiting during my winter
0:18:20.800,0:18:28.480
holidays. As I walked leisurely, I witnessed
a miracle through my peripheral vision.
0:18:28.480,0:18:35.440
A person took a giant leap in the air and
picked a kid up in front of a speeding car.
0:18:35.440,0:18:42.080
Then I suddenly heard the harsh screech of
the car braking. Immediately after this,
0:18:42.080,0:18:49.200
I heard a noise coming from across the road.
A small crowd had surrounded a middle-aged man
0:18:49.200,0:18:56.480
with a kid in his arms. I ran toward them and
asked a man in the crowd what had happened.
0:18:57.200,0:19:02.080
He replied in a loud voice, “This
godlike man just saved this kid
0:19:02.080,0:19:08.400
from getting run over by that car.
But he himself doesn’t know how.”
0:19:08.400,0:19:15.440
Hearing him, the hero of the moment who, by
now, sat near the auto mechanic shop he owned,
0:19:15.440,0:19:21.440
turned to us. He said, “I really don’t
remember what I did and how I did it.
0:19:22.000,0:19:27.520
I was working in my shop when I saw this
kid just in front of that speeding car.
0:19:27.520,0:19:32.480
The last thing I remember was saying to
myself that the kid was gone. And now
0:19:32.480,0:19:39.680
these people are telling me I have saved him.”
“Yes,” another man interrupted the conversation,
0:19:39.680,0:19:46.400
“I clearly saw him jumping like a cheetah. He took
a leap to that far a location where the kid was,
0:19:46.400,0:19:52.160
from his shop where he was working. Not even
an Olympic gold medalist would have been able
0:19:52.160,0:19:57.520
to perform a feat like that!”
The savior laughed in doubt,
0:19:57.520,0:20:03.920
“Maybe God entered my body and made me do
what you say I did. But honestly speaking,
0:20:03.920,0:20:11.120
I just don’t remember. And now I see this kid in
my arms here and that car applying brakes so far
0:20:11.120,0:20:20.720
ahead. Looks like I might have done it. After all,
why would you people lie?” I quickly assessed the
0:20:20.720,0:20:28.000
distance between his shop and the spot where he
had prevented the accident from taking place. No
0:20:28.000,0:20:35.680
one could ever have believed that it was humanly
even possible to try doing what this man had done.
0:20:35.680,0:20:41.600
I silently saluted that man and
went my way, thinking deep within.
0:20:41.600,0:20:46.160
Even today, I don’t know if a spurt of
biological energy could have performed
0:20:46.160,0:20:54.480
that kind of miracle. Maybe yes, maybe
no! We need to research this further.
0:20:54.480,0:21:00.000
The Story of Entering The State
of Flow through Endorphin Release
0:21:00.000,0:21:04.880
The second story took place
in 1978. It was the year I had
0:21:04.880,0:21:13.280
shifted from my small Himalayan hometown to Delhi.
Every evening, I’d go for a run. Usually for half
0:21:13.280,0:21:22.160
an hour. But that day, I didn’t stop after half an
hour. I kept running for longer. I got tired but I
0:21:22.160,0:21:31.520
didn’t stop. I continued running. One hour passed.
I was nearly exhausted but I still didn’t stop. I
0:21:31.520,0:21:37.680
still remember my feeling from that moment.
I was simply teasingly flirting with myself.
0:21:38.560,0:21:44.640
I kept running. One and a half hours had
passed. I had almost reached the point of
0:21:44.640,0:21:50.080
ultimate exhaustion. I kept going,
thinking, ”What’s the worst that can
0:21:50.080,0:21:59.200
happen? I would fall down on the road, that’s it!”
But it was not to happen. Something else did. At
0:21:59.200,0:22:07.040
one moment, all my tiredness suddenly went away.
I felt a sudden surge of a very cool and relaxed
0:22:07.040,0:22:14.880
energy in my body. I felt immensely fresh like
I was not running at all, I was rather floating
0:22:14.880,0:22:22.720
in the air. I felt like I could keep running
till eternity without making any effort at all.
0:22:22.720,0:22:29.200
At that point, I decided to stop in order to
perceive more deeply what had happened to me.
0:22:29.200,0:22:35.760
I started walking and looking around. I kept
feeling I was floating. Everything in front
0:22:35.760,0:22:42.320
of my eyes started looking much brighter to me.
I remember the feeling of awe that I was going
0:22:42.320,0:22:49.120
through as I walked on the road back home.
I reached home and sat down in a chair
0:22:49.120,0:22:56.880
ingesting deep within what I was experiencing.
After about an hour of sitting still in my chair,
0:22:56.880,0:23:04.160
I was back to my old self. Soon thereafter,
I scrounged around in the literature for any
0:23:04.160,0:23:10.080
reference to what I had gone through. And
I came to discover that I had undergone a
0:23:10.080,0:23:16.560
classical experience of the ’state of flow’.
It is also known as ’being in the zone’.
0:23:16.560,0:23:22.480
In the ancient Indian practice of Raja
Yoga, the state of flow is known as Samyama,
0:23:22.480,0:23:29.760
meaning integration. It integrates the three top
hierarchical steps of Raja Yoga, namely Dharana,
0:23:29.760,0:23:36.000
Dhyana and Samadhi into one single practice.
The state of flow hasn’t yet been fully
0:23:36.000,0:23:42.080
understood in terms of its associated
cellular processes. It still needs
0:23:42.080,0:23:47.280
further research in order to comprehend the
various collective benefits it provides, like:
0:23:47.840,0:23:53.360
Completely involved in what we
are doing – focused, concentrated.
0:23:54.240,0:23:59.120
A sense of ecstasy of being
outside everyday reality
0:24:00.240,0:24:07.120
Great inner clarity – knowing what needs
to be done, and how well we are doing.
0:24:08.320,0:24:13.920
Knowing that the activity is doable –
that our skills are adequate to the task.
0:24:15.680,0:24:20.720
A sense of serenity – no worries
about oneself, and a feeling of
0:24:20.720,0:24:29.680
growing beyond the boundaries of the ego.
Timelessness – thoroughly focused on the present,
0:24:29.680,0:24:36.800
hours seem to pass by the minute.
Intrinsic motivation – whatever
0:24:36.800,0:24:43.200
produces flow becomes its own reward.
One hypothesis is that the release of
0:24:43.200,0:24:49.600
endorphins in the brain facilitates this
state of flow. If that is right, we only
0:24:49.600,0:24:56.160
need to know how to release these endorphins
naturally to achieve this state at will.
0:24:56.160,0:25:02.640
The Story of Entering An Unbelievable
Energetic State through Serotonin Release
0:25:02.640,0:25:08.880
The third story that was an extension of the
state of flow story took place three years later,
0:25:08.880,0:25:16.960
in 1981. Three years had passed since I had
moved from my hometown in Mussoorie to Delhi.
0:25:16.960,0:25:23.680
At the same time, an estranged girlfriend of mine
from Dehradun had moved to Delhi as well to enroll
0:25:23.680,0:25:31.600
as a student at the National School of Drama. I
was also stationed there to work on a project.
0:25:31.600,0:25:38.160
We had had a bitter fight before we moved
and had stopped talking to each other since.
0:25:38.160,0:25:45.440
Our paths kept crossing everyday and we
just passed each other like two strangers.
0:25:45.440,0:25:51.360
It was awkward. It indicated that we were
still strongly attracted to each other,
0:25:51.360,0:25:57.280
otherwise we would have let go and moved on.
Why else would we not talk to each other?
0:25:58.080,0:26:04.080
Three years passed by and the pattern of our
behavior remained the same through these years.
0:26:04.080,0:26:10.480
Then one day, it occurred to me that I wanted
my mind to get free from my concern for her.
0:26:10.480,0:26:15.360
I went to her room in the hostel and proposed
that we have an unconditional dialogue with each
0:26:15.360,0:26:24.880
other. It would help both of us let go of each
other from our minds. She readily agreed. It was
0:26:24.880,0:26:30.480
3 o’ clock in the afternoon at that moment.
We decided we would meet after three hours,
0:26:30.480,0:26:36.640
at 6 o’ clock, at a nearby restaurant.
I left her hostel and started walking on the
0:26:36.640,0:26:44.640
road. But I suddenly discovered my gait was not
the same old gait. I wasn’t really feeling like
0:26:44.640,0:26:52.240
I was walking. I was feeling like I was flying.
This time this feeling of flying was different
0:26:52.240,0:26:59.040
from the relaxed, effortless feeling of floating
in the state of flow. Although this feeling was
0:26:59.040,0:27:07.200
also an effortless one, it was way more energetic.
Even my speed was much faster although I wasn’t
0:27:07.200,0:27:14.160
intentionally walking that fast. It was this
miraculous spurt of energy that was controlling
0:27:14.160,0:27:22.080
my speed despite myself. I was feeling like my
feet were not really touching the ground at all,
0:27:22.080,0:27:30.080
making me feel like I was flying. I had
never walked at a speed like that before.
0:27:30.080,0:27:37.520
Believe it or not, I kept feeling like flying
at the same speed for three full hours.
0:27:37.520,0:27:44.000
And exactly at 6 o’ clock, I ended up at
the restaurant where we had decided to meet.
0:27:44.000,0:27:49.360
What happened during the meeting was beyond
my wildest imagination, but that is not
0:27:49.360,0:27:56.320
what we’re concerned with in this episode.
Later, I looked for references in literature
0:27:56.320,0:28:02.800
resembling this new state I had experienced.
There, I came to discover that it could be due
0:28:02.800,0:28:09.280
to the release of serotonin in my brain. It
was this hormone that had made me leap into
0:28:09.280,0:28:17.360
that state I had been in for three full hours.
I kept wondering if we could release serotonin
0:28:17.360,0:28:25.120
at will and started researching on the subject.
Ultimately, many years later, when I was working
0:28:25.120,0:28:32.720
in the discipline of chakras, I picked the lost
thread up again. I realized that the release
0:28:32.720,0:28:39.200
of serotonin was an integral part of opening the
crown chakra through skeletal guided meditation.
0:28:39.200,0:28:46.160
Our body is a storehouse of all kinds of possible
miracles whether you categorize them under the
0:28:46.160,0:28:52.400
materialistic or vitalistic approach.
Why don’t we unearth them and
0:28:52.400,0:28:59.200
make them an integral part of our life?
