Additional Belly exercises Bhujan-asana or cobra-pose: Lie on the floor facing the mat, the feet are hip distance apart, and the toes are not tucked under. Position your hands under your shoulders. Use your back muscles and arms to raise your chest off the ground as high as possible. Ensure that the shoulders are released away…
The Belly + Stomach lift & shake This practice consists of 3 separate exercises: While standing with your feet about a foot apart and your knees slightly bent, lean forwards a little from the waist and place your hands just above your knees. Inhale deeply by pushing your abdomen forwards, so that it becomes hollow, and…
The Complete (BB) Exercise: Stand up comfortably, with loose garments and arms loosely hanging. Shake arms and hands a few times. Put one hand on your chest and one on your belly. To better regulate the intake of breath, slowly inhale through your nose or pursed lips. As you inhale, push your stomach and then…
CONFLICTING FEELINGS (CF) Main Objective: To acquire the Art of permanently releasing conflicting feelings about someone or something. The Story of Stress: your body creates the energy needed to act out the fulfillment of a desire. When this physical process meets an obstacle in some-thing or some-one, then, the body’s innate intelligence creates a somatic…
Childish Mirrors ? Mirror neurons allow us also to imitate the movements of someone’s lips and tongues. Watch a baby speak their first words by imitating an adult. They not only copy sounds, like a parrot, but rely even more on the ‘gestures’ of speech. Just before the child says its first words, it must…
Mirror Neurons, the basis for copying Speech & Stress ? If you stick out your tongue to a baby, chances are that the baby will imitate you spontaneously. Or watch how often a yawning adult makes someone else yawning as well. Researchers working with monkeys, in the 90’s, identified a group of neurons in their frontal cortex…
The origins of Mitochondria Like any other cell, neurons need a lot of energy to function. The brain accounts for only 2% of the body’s weight, but almost 20% of its energy consumption. This energy is produced in mitochondria, elongated organelles placed throughout the cell body. They use oxygen to extract energy from fats and…
NERVE IMPULSES An impulse begins in the nucleus of the neuron/cell with the movement of electrically charged inorganic molecules through the cell’s membrane. This membrane is semi-permeable. It allows some charged molecules, known as ions, to pass more easily than others. Potassium (K+), which is positively charged, is the most prominent ion that passes easily through…
Ligand Vibrations from toning, drumming, or chanting, cause over 70 different receptors on our cells to vibrate. Researchers observed that: "as they begin to vibrate they kind of touch each other, tickle and play with each other”. It is this energetic cell-receptors dance ritual, that opens the chromosomes and exposes the DNA to those vibrations. In essence, receptors function…
SYNAPSES The term synapse designates the point where the axon of one neuron connects to a dendrite of another. This word comes from the Greek syn (together) and haptein (join). Neurons can be connected in two very different ways: by an electrical synapse, in which the two cells touch and are connected by tiny holes,…
Neurotransmitters Neurotransmitters are chemical molecules that “ferry” vortex impulses across the synapse from one neuron to the next. Each type of neurotransmitter has a specific molecular form that acts like a "key into a lock". If its shape fits in the next neuron, it will produce an effect on that neuron. There are two types…
Neural Spike Train ? The human brain has this formidable ability of its basic unit, the neuron, to integrate all information received from thousands of other neurons, via vortex impulses. Each of them has its own unique shape, unique position in the nervous system, and unique connections to other neurons, receptor or sensory cells, and…
