My parents had got me admitted in a school in class 1 when I turned 6. It was when the principal of the school who was my father&#8217;s friend reminded him that I had come of age to join a school. So, the next day my parents took me to his school and got me admitted there.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.laadiojas.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading SKELETAL LEAP: The Mind Body Connection!

So, I was promoted to class 2. I had to write my class 2 exams within 2 months of getting promoted there. I don&#8217;t know how but I was ranked 1st in my class 2 exams and got promoted to class 3 when I was 7.</p><p>Anyway, I was still in class 1 when it happened. Every day, after the school was over, I walked back home with my friends carrying school bags on our shoulders. We also carried a &#8216;Takhti&#8217;, a small wooden slate with an extended handle to carry it to the school every day. As children, we used to write on it with a straw pen dipped in black ink to master the art of calligraphy. Every day, the slate would be coated with Fuller&#8217;s earth to absorb the ink and then we washed it off. After washing, we dried it by swirling it up and down in sunshine. While doing so, we would sing in chorus: Come sun great, dry my slate.</p><h2>Chatting On Our Way Back Home</h2><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DHFP!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1c2888c3-8817-4d3e-87bf-d2cfc928760a_1024x608.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DHFP!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1c2888c3-8817-4d3e-87bf-d2cfc928760a_1024x608.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DHFP!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1c2888c3-8817-4d3e-87bf-d2cfc928760a_1024x608.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DHFP!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1c2888c3-8817-4d3e-87bf-d2cfc928760a_1024x608.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DHFP!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1c2888c3-8817-4d3e-87bf-d2cfc928760a_1024x608.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DHFP!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1c2888c3-8817-4d3e-87bf-d2cfc928760a_1024x608.png" width="1024" height="608" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/1c2888c3-8817-4d3e-87bf-d2cfc928760a_1024x608.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:&quot;normal&quot;,&quot;height&quot;:608,&quot;width&quot;:1024,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Children Chatting On Their Way Back Home&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="Children Chatting On Their Way Back Home" title="Children Chatting On Their Way Back Home" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DHFP!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1c2888c3-8817-4d3e-87bf-d2cfc928760a_1024x608.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DHFP!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1c2888c3-8817-4d3e-87bf-d2cfc928760a_1024x608.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DHFP!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1c2888c3-8817-4d3e-87bf-d2cfc928760a_1024x608.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DHFP!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1c2888c3-8817-4d3e-87bf-d2cfc928760a_1024x608.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Chatting On Our Way Back Home.

One day, a friend walking in another group splintered from there and moved back to say something to me. It must have been something of importance as he immediately pulled my arm to draw my attention to him. But I was in the midst of another important chat within my group. At least that was what I thought. So, I asked him to wait for a moment and continued with my ongoing chat.

It was entirely different from the scare of God punishing me that I had faced then and there. This was when my parents had tried to impose it on my psyche when I was 3 years old.</p><p>It taught me we needed facing our fears in real life situations exactly like facing imposed scares within our mindset. It&#8217;s simply so because fears are generated from instincts within whereas scares are imposed from outside making home inside psyche.</p><p>Get my book &#8216;<strong>Eyesight To Insight

Also, there were no cars allowed inside the town those days. Hence the roads were very safe for kids. And I was one of those lucky kids traversing those roads alone like I owned them all.</p><p>No one had taken care to get me admitted in a nursery school yet. In fact, they used to be very rare during those days. And my parents weren&#8217;t very fond of trying those new upcoming trends in the field of education. </p><p>The old system was there to get kids admitted straight in class 1 at an age of 5 or 6. Hence, I was left to be a free soul to decide for myself how I would like to spend my time all through the day.</p><h2>Roaming Routine</h2><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

The scenery around at every spot on those roads was breathtaking. I was of the opinion that the entire world must be looking like our town was. </p><p>I knew there were other places out of our town too since our relatives used to visit us from there. But I had never visited them in my memory. And it didn&#8217;t bother me too. I was very happy roaming fondly on curving mountainous roads enjoying the breathtaking scenery around every single morning.</p><p>My routine turned me into a chronic wanderer enjoying beauty around at every step of my regular wanderings. Everyone in town knew me well and hence my parents were least bothered about my safety during my daily excursions. I would keep roaming until I got too tired to walk further. And the best way to take a rest was to lie down for a nap wherever I felt.</p><p>By the time lunch was ready at home, someone or the other from the family was sent out to look for me and take me back home. They didn&#8217;t need to toil much for locating me as someone or the other on road would tell them where I was sleeping that day. I remember being woken up and taken back home with the information that the lunch was ready.</p><h2>Life Was Going Good</h2><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

I was also eager to visit a new place with them. As we reached there, I was instructed to bow down in front of a canopy in a big hall. And then we took our seats in the hall. </p><p>The ceremonial worships were going on and everyone was sitting with their eyes closed and heads swaying out of reverence. I could neither close my eyes nor could I sway my head. Perhaps my wanderings had corrupted me to always keep them open staring at beautiful scenery without ever swaying my head. </p><p>After a while, I started missing my excursion which I had opted against to experience this new promised heaven that day. I got immensely bored sitting over there in a passive mode all along. And when the congregation ended, I took a deep sigh of relief as we came out in the open in my familiar territory.</p><h2>Fear Comes In</h2><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

He might be keeping that list intact with Him until He had punished them for not worshipping Him.</p><p>I got a bit scared. But I remember I wasn&#8217;t ready to submit to my scare.

And then I took my decision.</p><p>&#8220;Okay, let Him punish me. I am ready,&#8221; I declared.</p><p>&#8220;He has gone agnostic,&#8221; my father said to my mother and added, &#8220;Let&#8217;s go without him,&#8221; as they left.</p><p>I didn&#8217;t know what agnostic meant but when I look back today, I realize my father had analyzed me right.</p><p>I chose to face my scare and get ready to accept its consequence if it ever came true.</p><p>I am still waiting for His punishment that hasn&#8217;t yet been materialized till this point of time in my life. But it turned me into a carefree soul living my life on my own terms, not someone else&#8217;s.</p><p>Get my book &#8216;<strong>Eyesight To Insight Memoir</strong>&#8217; FREE when you Subscribe to

I further explain how this energy is essential for various bodily functions, from <strong>cellular respiration</strong> to <strong>metabolic processes</strong>. </p><p>But what happens when this flow is disrupted? I discuss in detail the blocked energy pathways, linking them to lifestyle diseases and other health issues. </p><p>On the flip side, I come up the <strong>vitalistic perspective</strong> as well. It believes that a dormant cosmic energy, known as <strong>Kundalini</strong>, lies in the living organisms, waiting to be <strong>awakened</strong>. </p><p>This <strong>awakening</strong> can lead to profound joy and clarity in our lives. The episode raises intriguing questions about the nature of energy. </p><p>Are we merely <strong>biological machines</strong>, or is there a deeper <strong>spiritual essence</strong> at play? </p><p>What are your own experiences with energy, whether through moments of <strong>heightened awareness</strong> <strong>during meditation</strong> or <strong>the inexplicable surge of energy</strong> in <strong>critical situations</strong>? </p><p>I share mine, including miraculous events that challenge our understanding of human capability and the essence of life itself. </p><p>As the episode progresses, I  highlight the role of the <strong>vagus nerve</strong> in regulating energy flow within the body. This nerve connects the <strong>brain</strong> to <strong>vital organs</strong>, facilitating <strong>communication</strong> and <strong>energy transfer</strong>. </p><p>I also compare  the <strong>scientific understanding of energy flow</strong> and <strong>the ancient practices of chakra healing</strong>, suggesting that both perspectives ultimately converge on the same truth: the importance of maintaining a <strong>balanced energy system</strong> for overall <strong>well-being</strong>. </p><p>You will be left with a call to action&#8212;to explore your own <strong>energy patterns</strong> and consider how they might harness this energy for personal transformation. </p><p>The episode promises to be a source of inspiration for anyone interested in the <strong>intersection of science and spirituality</strong>. </p><p>Join me on this <strong>adventurous journey</strong> and discover how you can tap into the <strong>miraculous energy</strong> within you. </p><p>Tune in now, and embark on your own journey of <strong>self-discovery</strong> and <strong>healing</strong> through the lens of <strong>bioenergetics and Kundalini</strong>.</p><h2>&#128273; Key Takeaways:</h2><ul><li><p><strong>Materialistic Approach:</strong> The significance of bioenergetics in understanding the flow of energy through living organisms.</p></li><li><p><strong>Vitalistic Approach:</strong> The concept of Kundalini and its role in spiritual awakening.</p></li><li><p><strong>Chakra Blocks:</strong> How energy blockages can affect our health and well-being.</p></li><li><p><strong>A Storehouse of Energy:</strong> Real-life stories illustrating miraculous experiences with energy and its transformative power.</p></li><li><p><strong>Levels of Energy:</strong> The relationship between energy patterns, personality, and innate tendencies.</p></li></ul><h2>&#127897;&#65039; Listen to the Journey:</h2><iframe class="spotify-wrap podcast" data-attrs="{&quot;image&quot;:&quot;https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6765630000ba8a8ebeb75ad5e3adb66f0b52f4&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Pure Healing Energy: Kundalini Energy Vs Bioenergetics! &#8211; Podcast Episode 19&quot;,&quot;subtitle&quot;:&quot;Laadi Ojas&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;Episode&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://open.spotify.com/episode/2ybOwuu4GkZ8LLZy58a3O5&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;noScroll&quot;:false}" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/episode/2ybOwuu4GkZ8LLZy58a3O5" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allowfullscreen="true" allow="encrypted-media" loading="lazy" data-component-name="Spotify2ToDOM"></iframe><h2>&#128253;&#65039; Watch the Masterclass:</h2><div id="youtube2-KBc7UJTkcwE" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;KBc7UJTkcwE&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/KBc7UJTkcwE?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><h2>Transcript:</h2><p><em><strong>&#8220;Our body is a storehouse of all kinds of possible miracles whether you categorize them under the materialistic or vitalistic approach.&#8221;</strong></em></p><p>My name is <strong>Laadi Ojas</strong>. Welcome to &#8220;<strong>Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure</strong>&#8221;. Skeletal Leap transforms one&#8217;s life into a personal heaven.</p><p>Today&#8217;s episode will tell you about <strong>bioenergetics vs kundalini</strong> and which one of the two passes to be the energy that creates life.</p><h3>Who Am I: A Materialist Or A Vitalist?</h3><p>That is a question I often ask to myself. And I never get an answer.</p><p>It is because I am neither. I am just an observer. If I observe a pattern, I want to perceive it in its totality first. Then I let it get ingested in my cognitive system. Once its cognition is complete, I try to comprehend it as a hypothesis. To me, it is a hypothesis ready to be tested under strict laboratory conditions. This is so even if it is a spiritual hypothesis. Only strict laboratory conditions can ensure its authenticity, turning it from a hypothesis to an established theory.</p><p>In fact, I am an agnostic observer, neither a theist nor an atheist. An unbiased observation of patterns is what makes sense to me.</p><h3>Patterns of Observation</h3><p>I am generally interested in the patterns of observations directly affecting my body, my mind and my spirit. That way, I myself become a laboratory for any and all of my hypotheses. I have the luxury of being present in my own preliminary laboratory 24 x 7 x 365. Once my preliminary laboratory has passed a certain hypothesis of mine, I extend it to others because further testing is needed to filter out a possible subjective influence on what I otherwise maintain as a strictly objective preliminary laboratory.</p><p>This process enables patterns affecting my personal body, mind and spirit to be generalized as patterns affecting all human bodies, minds and spirits.</p><h3>Bioenergetics at Work</h3><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

And not just once! I do it every time I intend to perceive it with every single breath of mine with an extended exhalation. An added instantaneous effect of this rising energy is a much clearer vision. This clearer vision is an objective feedback. There is a plethora of other effects as well but I will get to them later.</p><p><strong>Where does this energy come from? What&#8217;s the source of this energy?</strong></p><p>Vitalists call it Kundalini and its rise from the coccyx to the crown chakra is called Kundalini awakening. They claim it is a non-physical cosmic energy lying dormant at the base of the root chakra in a living organism. This life-imparting energy keeps lying dormant until and unless it is awakened for bliss as well as a sense of joy even in the most mundane activities of life.</p><p><strong>How do materialists look at energy? They study biological energy as &#8217;bioenergetics&#8217;.</strong></p><p>It is because their living cells require energy for many of their functions including <strong>cellular respiratory</strong>, <strong>metabolic</strong>, <strong>enzymatic</strong> and <strong>other processes</strong>. They use <strong>adenosine triphosphate molecules (ATP)</strong> for this purpose of producing and utilizing energy.</p><p>There are three kinds of living creatures: <strong>autotrophs</strong>, <strong>lithotrophs</strong> and <strong>heterotrophs</strong>.</p><p><strong>Autotrophs (plants)</strong> receive energy from sunlight through <strong>photosynthesis</strong> and don&#8217;t require consuming it for themselves.</p><p><strong>Lithotrophs</strong> including <strong>photolithotrophs (plants)</strong> and <strong>chemolithotrophs (microorganisms)</strong> produce <strong>adenosine triphosphate molecules (ATP)</strong> through <strong>aerobic</strong> or <strong>anaerobic respiration</strong>.</p><p><strong>Heterotrophs (animals)</strong> consume <strong>adenosine triphosphate molecules (ATP)</strong> and break them down into <strong>adenosine diphosphate (ADP)</strong> and <strong>inorganic phosphate</strong>. This breaking down of <strong>ATP</strong> to <strong>ADP</strong> <strong>releases energy</strong> <strong>for the cells</strong> to use for their various needs.</p><p>Here is a list of <strong>bioenergetic processes</strong> required for life in cells through consuming energy:</p><p><strong>Glycolysis:</strong> releasing energy from available glucose or breaking it down to create ATP molecules for future energy requirement.</p><p><strong>Gluconeogenesis:</strong> creating glucose by breaking proteins into simpler amino acids which can create glucose.</p><p><strong>Cellular Respiration:</strong> is achieved when citric acid cycle oxidizes carbon-containing metabolites thereby creating coenzymes. These coenzymes can later be re-oxidized to start the citric acid cycle again.</p><p><strong>Ketosis:</strong> is another metabolic process achieved by using ketone bodies for energy when glucose levels are low.</p><p><strong>Oxidative Phosphorylation:</strong> is a process when coenzymes initiate electron transport chain driving ATP synthesis.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Photosynthesis:</strong> is a process in the plant cells using solar energy to create glucose. Vitamin D production in human cells is another kind of photosynthesis that creates ATP molecules.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Cotransport:</strong> Sodium glucose cotransport is another newly discovered process facilitating intestinal glucose absorption.</p><p><strong>Chemiosmotic Theory:</strong> is another recently discovered major energy facilitating process in maximum number of cells. It functions through using protons in aqueous solution to produce ATP molecules.&nbsp;</p><p>So, for <strong>materialists</strong>, it is <strong>biological energy</strong> alone that is taken in and transformed, primarily by way of food, in the human body.</p><p>Fair enough! They don&#8217;t want to go along any cosmic hypothesis in the absence of a concrete evidence for the same.</p><h3>Blockages in The Flow of Biological Energy</h3><p>The problem starts when the flow of this energy through the living creatures meets a blockage along its path. When this happens, it takes a toll on all the energy flow processes including <strong>cellular respiratory</strong>, <strong>metabolic</strong>, <strong>enzymatic</strong> and <strong>others</strong>, thereby limiting the flow of energy through the organism.</p><p>Here is a quote from <strong>Wikipedia</strong>&#8230;</p><p><em><strong>&#8220;Muscle cells work by detecting a flow of electrical impulses from the brain, which signals them to contract through the release of calcium by the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Fatigue (reduced ability to generate force) may occur due to the nerve, or within the muscle cells themselves. New research from scientists at Columbia University suggests that muscle fatigue is caused by calcium leaking out of the muscle cell. This makes less calcium available for the muscle cell.&#8221;</strong></em></p><p><strong>Courtesy, Wikipedia</strong></p><p>Here is another code from <strong>Wikipedia</strong> again&#8230;</p><p><em><strong>&#8220;Nerves&nbsp;control the contraction of muscles by determining the number, sequence, and force of muscular contraction. When a nerve experiences&nbsp;synaptic fatigue&nbsp;it becomes unable to stimulate the muscle that it innervates.&#8221;</strong></em>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Courtesy, Wikipedia</strong></p><p>The real question becomes: what essentially controls the flow of this biological energy with the purpose of producing and utilizing it? The biologists&#8217; answer is that the <strong>central nervous system</strong> is responsible for the said control in <strong>Homo sapiens</strong>. They contend that, if the <strong>central nervous system</strong> gets compromised, the flow will get compromised too. The entire organism will then feel low on energy and succumb to various kinds of <strong>lifestyle diseases</strong>.</p><h3>The Vagus Nerve</h3><p>How exactly does <strong>central nervous system</strong> get compromised? It happens when nerves that carry messages between the brain and the organ cells get compromised. Especially <strong>the 10th cranial nerve named the vagus nerve</strong>. This one nerve carries the major chunk of messages to and from the most crucial organs. It is the longest nerve in the <strong>central nervous system</strong> and is designed to establish an efficient <strong>dialogue</strong> between its two ends. These two ends are the <strong>gut</strong> and the <strong>brain</strong>.</p><p>Here is a quote from <strong>Wikipedia</strong>&#8230;</p><p><em><strong>&#8220;The vagus nerve, also known as the tenth cranial nerve, cranial nerve X, or simply CN X, is a cranial nerve that interfaces with the parasympathetic control of the heart, lungs, and digestive tract. It comprises two nerves&#8212;the left and right vagus nerves&#8212;but they are typically referred to collectively as a single subsystem. The vagus is the longest nerve of the autonomic nervous system in the human body and comprises both sensory and motor fibers. The sensory fibers originate from neurons of the nodose ganglion, whereas the motor fibers come from neurons of the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus and the nucleus ambiguous. The vagus was also historically called the pneumogastric nerve.&#8221;</strong></em></p><p><strong>Courtesy, Wikipedia</strong></p><p><strong>How exactly does the vagus nerve get compromised, then?</strong></p><p>As per the analysis of Skeletal Leap, a compromised skeletal posturing compromises the anatomy of organs in its vicinity. The physiology of an organ almost always gets compromised when its anatomy is compromised. It not only compromises the anatomy of the vagus nerve but also organs served by it. It deforms muscle groups and blood vessels around the organs served by this nerve.</p><h3>Formation of Chakras</h3><p>This compromised anatomy gives birth to <strong>closed chakras</strong> that are formed at seven different locations along the length of the <strong>vagus nerve</strong>, passing through the <strong>spinal cord</strong>. The vagus nerve comprises two parts: the <strong>ventral vagus</strong> and the <strong>dorsal vagus</strong>. Incidentally, this same channel created by the vagus nerve is referred to as Sushumna in the <strong>chakra system</strong>. And, just like the <strong>vagus nerve</strong>, <strong>Sushumna</strong> passing through the <strong>spinal cord</strong> also comprises its own two parts: <strong>Ida</strong> and <strong>Pingala</strong>.</p><p>According to the <strong>Chakra system</strong>, when chakras are opened along the length of <strong>Sushumna</strong>, <strong>Kundalini</strong> gets <strong>awakened</strong> and rises up to the head. It does so in a <strong>streamlined flow</strong> without being blocked at any of the closed chakra locations along its path.</p><p>The same process, when described in <strong>materialistic terms</strong>, is the flow of biological energy in the organ cells served by the <strong>vagus nerve</strong>. </p><p><strong>As a two-way dialogue between the gut and the brain through the vagus nerve gets re-established, energy flow gets regularized.</strong></p><h3>Kundalini Awakening</h3><p>Skeletal Leap infers that the perception of this regularized energy flow has to be similar to the <strong>awakening of Kundalini</strong> and its rise up to the <strong>crown chakra</strong>. It feels like a gush of biological energy rising up from the gut to the head through the spinal cord. As per the <strong>materialistic approach</strong>, it is the <strong>gush of the dialogue between the gut and the brain getting established instantaneously</strong>. This is accompanied by a simultaneous and instantaneous flow of energy to the cells of the organs served by the <strong>vagus nerve</strong>.</p><p>So we can see that the perception and feeling of opening all the chakras together are exactly the same. They are exactly the same whether you look at it from the <strong>angle of materialists</strong> or <strong>that of vitalists</strong>.</p><p>I had defined chakras as <strong>deformities in skeletal posturing leading to deformities in the surrounding muscles, nerves and blood vessels</strong>. Hence, it is the <strong>deformed anatomy</strong> of these structures that <strong>negatively affects the physiology</strong> of systems they are a part of.</p><p>Let&#8217;s talk a bit more about energy. You might have seen various kinds of people with various <strong>levels of energy</strong> in their <strong>mind-body system</strong>. We can also see similar differences in our pets.</p><h3>Patterns of Energy: Warm Vs Cold, Hot Vs Cool &amp; Hot Vs Cold</h3><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Sa92!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6297efcc-eeae-4114-8cae-aee62ba2487f_750x500.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Sa92!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6297efcc-eeae-4114-8cae-aee62ba2487f_750x500.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Sa92!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6297efcc-eeae-4114-8cae-aee62ba2487f_750x500.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Sa92!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6297efcc-eeae-4114-8cae-aee62ba2487f_750x500.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Sa92!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6297efcc-eeae-4114-8cae-aee62ba2487f_750x500.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Sa92!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6297efcc-eeae-4114-8cae-aee62ba2487f_750x500.jpeg" width="750" height="500" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/6297efcc-eeae-4114-8cae-aee62ba2487f_750x500.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:500,&quot;width&quot;:750,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:64610,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Hot-Cool, Warm-Cold &amp;

On the other hand, <strong>&#8216;hot&#8217; and &#8216;cool&#8217;</strong> are the extremes on the spectrum of our energy balance. Of course, <strong>&#8216;hot&#8217; and &#8216;cold&#8217;</strong> also have a sexual connotation where they are the extremes on a spectrum of sexual energy levels in us.</p><p>Now, where does this difference in energy levels come from? What makes people more passionate for life, i.e., warm? What makes them less so, i.e., cold? What makes them energetically balanced and at peace with themselves, i.e., cool? More so, what makes them hot or cold in bed?</p><p>Are these the levels of their biological energy in their physical systems? But I have seen many people with a great passion for everything around them, still falling prey to serious <strong>lifestyle diseases</strong>. How do we explain that?</p><p>You can say those are the traits of their <strong>personality</strong> and have nothing to do with their <strong>level of energy</strong>. But does this answer really make sense?</p><p>How are personalities formed? Is that a kind of training one has learnt to live with in one&#8217;s life? Or is the basic core of personality more an innate phenomenon? I have seen numerous children being born with various <strong>crying patterns</strong>. Somehow, these patterns always gave me a hint about what their personalities might develop like as they grow. Whatever nurturing they may receive, I have observed that the basic core of their personalities grows from their <strong>innate tendencies</strong>.</p><p><strong>Are we born with a particular energy pattern as a seed in our mind-body system?</strong></p><p>We need to research this further. Because, if it is true, it strongly supports the <strong>vitalistic hypothesis</strong> of energy.</p><p><strong>I am keeping my fingers crossed.</strong></p><p>At this point, I feel a need to tell a few <strong>miraculous stories from my life</strong>. All these stories pose a real challenge in understanding the dynamics of <strong>miraculous energy patterns in the body</strong>.</p><h3>The Story of An Instant Energy Spurt That Saved A Child</h3><p>The first one took place in <strong>1966</strong> when I was an <strong>adolescent</strong>.</p><p>I was out for a sunny winter stroll in <strong>Dehradun</strong>. It was a city downhill from my hometown that I was visiting during my winter holidays. As I walked leisurely, I witnessed a miracle through my peripheral vision. A person took a giant leap in the air and picked a kid up in front of a speeding car.</p><p>Then I suddenly heard the harsh screech of the car braking. Immediately after this, I heard a noise coming from across the road. A small crowd had surrounded a middle-aged man with a kid in his arms. I ran toward them and asked a man in the crowd what had happened.</p><p>He replied in a loud voice, &#8220;<strong>This godlike man just saved this kid from getting run over by that car. But he himself doesn&#8217;t know how.</strong>&#8221;</p><p>Hearing him, the hero of the moment who, by now, sat near the auto mechanic shop he owned, turned to us. He said, &#8220;<strong>I really don&#8217;t remember what I did and how I did it.</strong>&#8221;&nbsp;</p><p>&#8220;<strong>I was working in my shop when I saw this kid just in front of that speeding car. The last thing I remember was saying to myself that the kid was gone. And now these people are telling me I have saved him.</strong>&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;<strong>Yes</strong>,&#8221; another man interrupted the conversation, &#8220;<strong>I clearly saw him jumping like a cheetah. He took a leap to that far a location where the kid was, from his shop where he was working. Not even an Olympic gold medalist would have been able to perform a feat like that!</strong>&#8221;</p><p>The savior laughed in doubt, &#8220;<strong>Maybe God entered my body and made me do what you say I did. But honestly speaking, I just don&#8217;t remember. And now I see this kid in my arms here and that car applying brakes so far ahead. Looks like I might have done it. After all, why would you people lie?</strong>&#8221; I quickly assessed the distance between his shop and the spot where he had prevented the accident from taking place. No one could ever have believed that it was humanly even possible to try doing what this man had done.</p><p><strong>I silently saluted that man and went my way, thinking deep within.</strong></p><p>Even today, I don&#8217;t know if a spurt of biological energy could have performed that kind of miracle. Maybe yes, maybe no! We need to research this further.</p><h3>The Story of Entering The State of Flow through Endorphin Release</h3><p>The second story took place in <strong>1978</strong>. It was the year I had shifted from my small Himalayan hometown to <strong>Delhi</strong>.</p><p>Every evening, I&#8217;d go for a run. Usually for half an hour. But that day, I didn&#8217;t stop after half an hour. <strong>I kept running for longer</strong>. I got tired but I didn&#8217;t stop. I continued running. One hour passed. <strong>I was nearly exhausted but I still didn&#8217;t stop</strong>. I still remember my feeling from that moment. <strong>I was simply teasingly flirting with myself</strong>.</p><p><strong>I kept running</strong>. One and a half hours had passed. I had almost reached the point of ultimate exhaustion. I kept going, thinking, &#8221;<strong>What&#8217;s the worst that can happen? I would fall down on the road, that&#8217;s it!</strong>&#8221;</p><p>But it was not to happen. Something else did. At one moment, all my tiredness suddenly went away. <strong>I felt a sudden surge of a very cool and relaxed energy in my body.</strong> I felt immensely fresh like I was not running at all, I was rather floating in the air. I felt like I could keep running till eternity without making any effort at all.</p><p>At that point, I decided to stop in order to perceive more deeply what had happened to me. I started walking and looking around. <strong>I kept feeling I was floating</strong>. Everything in front of my eyes started looking much brighter to me. I remember the feeling of awe that I was going through as I walked on the road back home.</p><p><strong>I reached home and sat down in a chair ingesting deep within what I was experiencing.</strong></p><p>After about an hour of sitting still in my chair, I was back to my old self. Soon thereafter, I scrounged around in the literature for any reference to what I had gone through. And I came to discover that I had undergone a classical experience of the &#8217;<strong>state of flow</strong>&#8217;. It is also known as &#8217;<strong>being in the zone</strong>&#8217;.</p><p>In the ancient Indian practice of Raja Yoga, the state of flow is known as <strong>Samyama</strong>, meaning <strong>integration</strong>. It integrates the three top hierarchical steps of <strong>Raja Yoga</strong>, namely <strong>Dharana</strong>, <strong>Dhyana</strong> and <strong>Samadhi</strong> into one single practice.</p><p>The state of flow hasn&#8217;t yet been fully understood in terms of its associated cellular processes. It still needs further research in order to comprehend the various collective benefits it provides, like:</p><p><strong>Completely involved in what we are doing</strong> &#8211; focused, concentrated.</p><p><strong>A sense of ecstasy</strong> - of being outside everyday reality</p><p><strong>Great inner clarity</strong> &#8211; knowing what needs to be done, and how well we are doing.</p><p><strong>Knowing that the activity is doable</strong> &#8211; that our skills are adequate to the task.</p><p><strong>A sense of serenity</strong> &#8211; no worries about oneself, and a feeling of growing beyond the boundaries of the ego.</p><p><strong>Timelessness</strong> &#8211; thoroughly focused on the present, hours seem to pass by the minute.</p><p><strong>Intrinsic motivation</strong> &#8211; whatever produces flow becomes its own reward.</p><p>One hypothesis is that the release of <strong>endorphins</strong> in the brain facilitates this state of flow. If that is right, <strong>we only need to know how to release these endorphins naturally to achieve this state at will</strong>.</p><h3>The Story of Entering An Unbelievable Energetic State through Serotonin Release</h3><p>The third story that was an extension of the state of flow story took place three years later, in <strong>1981</strong>. Three years had passed since I had moved from my hometown in <strong>Mussoorie</strong> to <strong>Delhi</strong>. At the same time, an estranged girlfriend of mine from <strong>Dehradun</strong> had moved to <strong>Delhi</strong> as well to enroll as a student at the <strong>National School of Drama</strong>. I was also stationed there to work on a project. We had had a bitter fight before we moved and had stopped talking to each other since.</p><p>Our paths kept crossing everyday and we just passed each other like two strangers. It was awkward. It indicated that we were still strongly attracted to each other, otherwise we would have let go and moved on. Why else would we not talk to each other?</p><p><strong>Three years passed by and the pattern of our behavior remained the same through these years.</strong></p><p><strong>Then one day, it occurred to me that I wanted my mind to get free from my concern for her.</strong></p><p>I went to her room in the hostel and proposed that we have an unconditional dialogue with each other. It would help both of us let go of each other from our minds. She readily agreed. It was <strong>3 o&#8217; clock</strong> in the afternoon at that moment. We decided we would meet after three hours, at <strong>6 o&#8217; clock</strong>, at a nearby restaurant.</p><p>I left her hostel and started walking on the road. But I suddenly discovered my gait was not the same old gait. I wasn&#8217;t really feeling like I was walking. <strong>I was feeling like I was flying</strong>. This time this feeling of flying was different from the relaxed, effortless feeling of floating in the state of flow. Although this feeling was also an effortless one, it was way more energetic. Even my speed was much faster although I wasn&#8217;t intentionally walking that fast. It was this miraculous spurt of energy that was controlling my speed despite myself. <strong>I was feeling like my feet were not really touching the ground at all, making me feel like I was flying</strong>. I had never walked at a speed like that before.</p><p><strong>Believe it or not, I kept feeling like flying at the same speed for three full hours.</strong></p><p><strong>And exactly at 6 o&#8217; clock, I ended up at the restaurant where we had decided to meet.</strong></p><p>What happened during the meeting was beyond my wildest imagination, but that is not what we&#8217;re concerned with in this episode.</p><p>Later, I looked for references in literature resembling this new state I had experienced.</p><p>There, <strong>I came to discover that it could be due to the release of serotonin in my brain. It was this hormone that had made me leap into that state I had been in for three full hours.</strong></p><p>I kept wondering if we could release serotonin at will and started researching on the subject.</p><p>Ultimately, many years later, when I was working in the discipline of chakras, I picked the lost thread up again. <strong>I realized that the release of serotonin was an integral part of opening the crown chakra through skeletal guided meditation.</strong></p><p><strong>Our body is a storehouse of all kinds of possible miracles whether you categorize them under the materialistic or vitalistic approach.</strong></p><p><strong>Why don&#8217;t we unearth them and make them an integral part of our life?</strong></p><p>Thanks for listening to this episode of <strong>Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure</strong>! In the next episode, I will tell you about <strong>neurology</strong> vs <strong>psychology</strong> respectively addressing <strong>brain</strong> vs <strong>mind</strong> or <strong>instincts</strong> vs <strong>emotions</strong> as far as human life is concerned.</p><p>Be a part of <strong>Skeletal Leap Community</strong>! <strong>Subscribe to Skeletal Leap Newsletter</strong>. <strong>Click on the link in the description to subscribe</strong>.</p><p>Get my book &#8216;<strong>Eyesight To Insight Memoir</strong>&#8217;

Over the last few months, I&#8217;ve explored the 14 core principles of the&nbsp;Skeletal Leap&#8212;the movement to reopen the biological and sociocultural chakras that evolution has closed.</p><p>This guide serves as your &#8216;<strong>Start Here</strong>&#8217; roadmap. Each part below includes a deep-dive article, my full&nbsp;<strong>YouTube masterclass</strong>, and the high-fidelity&nbsp;<strong>Spotify audio&nbsp;episode</strong>.

Image courtesy of the author.</figcaption></figure></div><ol><li><p>In this episode titled &#8220;<strong>Science Vs Spirituality As Two Popular Approaches To Life!</strong>&#8220; I take you on an enlightening journey through two contrasting philosophies: <strong>scientific materialism</strong> and <strong>spiritual vitalism</strong>. These approaches to understanding life have shaped human thought for centuries, and I dive deep into their implications on our existence and consciousness.</p></li><li><p><strong>Scientific materialism</strong> states that all living beings, including humans, are complex machines. This perspective, rooted in the scientific traditions of thinkers like <strong>Ren&#233; Descartes</strong> and <strong>Charles Darwin</strong>, suggests that we can eventually understand the intricacies of life through rational inquiry and scientific exploration. I also highlight the significance of the <strong>cell theory</strong> and <strong>Darwin&#8217;s theory of evolution</strong>, which emphasize a natural, mechanistic view of life.</p></li><li><p>On the other hand, <strong>spiritual vitalism</strong> introduces a more mystical element, suggesting that life is animated by a <strong>non-physical energy</strong>, often referred to as &#8220;<strong>life energy</strong>.&#8221; This viewpoint has ancient roots in various cultures and disciplines, including alternative medicine practices like <strong>acupuncture</strong> and <strong>homeopathy</strong>. I further discuss how vitalism has been dismissed by mainstream science due to a <strong>lack of empirical evidence</strong>, yet it remains <strong>deeply ingrained</strong> in <strong>human culture</strong> and <strong>belief systems</strong>.</p></li><li><p>Through my <strong>real life personal stories</strong>, I illustrate the intersection of these two philosophies in <strong>my own life</strong>. I  recount miraculous experiences of healing and self-discovery that challenge the <strong>strict boundaries</strong> of <strong>materialism</strong> and <strong>vitalism</strong>. These <strong>real life stories</strong> serve as a reminder that our understanding of life may require a <strong>synthesis</strong> of both approaches.</p></li><li><p>You are invited to reflect on your own beliefs and experiences as you navigate the complexities of existence. By exploring the interplay between <strong>materialism</strong> and <strong>vitalism</strong>, I further invite you to consider a more <strong>holistic</strong> understanding of life that embraces both <strong>the scientific</strong> and <strong>the spiritual</strong>.</p></li><li><p>This episode is not just an academic discussion; it&#8217;s a call to explore our inner selves and the world around us. Whether you lean toward a <strong>materialistic view</strong> or find resonance in <strong>vitalism</strong>, there&#8217;s something valuable to learn in this exploration. Tune in to this thought-provoking episode of <strong>Skeletal Leap</strong> and embark on your own journey of discovery.</p></li></ol><h2>&#128273; Key Takeaways:</h2><blockquote><ul><li><p><strong>Materialism vs Vitalism:</strong> The historical context of materialism and vitalism, featuring insights from thinkers like Ren&#233; Descartes and Charles Darwin.</p></li><li><p><strong>Technology Vs Philosophy:</strong> The implications of these philosophies on our understanding of consciousness and existence.</p></li><li><p><strong>Real Life Stories:</strong> Personal stories that illustrate the unexpected intersections of these approaches in real-life situations.</p></li><li><p><strong>Healing &amp; Healthcare:</strong> The vitalistic perspective&#8217;s enduring influence on alternative medicine and cultural belief</p></li></ul></blockquote><h2>&#127897;&#65039; Listen to the Journey:</h2><iframe class="spotify-wrap podcast" data-attrs="{&quot;image&quot;:&quot;https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6765630000ba8ab3fecb598554f37775e60193&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Science Vs Spirituality As Two Popular Approaches To Life! &#8211; Podcast Episode 18&quot;,&quot;subtitle&quot;:&quot;Laadi Ojas&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;Episode&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://open.spotify.com/episode/6R7Oe7lgPZuAva7bGY0R7V&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;noScroll&quot;:false}" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/episode/6R7Oe7lgPZuAva7bGY0R7V" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allowfullscreen="true" allow="encrypted-media" data-component-name="Spotify2ToDOM"></iframe><h2>&#128253;&#65039; Watch the Masterclass:</h2><div id="youtube2-y-cwalGpDFQ" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;y-cwalGpDFQ&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/y-cwalGpDFQ?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><h2>Transcript:</h2><p><em><strong>&#8220;Was he a materialist or a vitalist?</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Almost every single person is a complex integration of both these approaches.&#8221;</strong></em></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.laadiojas.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading SKELETAL LEAP: The Mind Body Connection!

So I devoured anything and everything that I could get my hands on regarding the subject.</p><p>What I first came to know from there about life were its characteristics in the living beings, such as:</p><ol><li><p><strong>Homeostasis</strong> meant regulating their internal environment.</p></li><li><p><strong>Organization</strong> meant being composed of one or more of the basic units of life called cells.</p></li><li><p><strong>Metabolism</strong> meant decomposing chemicals turning them to energy for cells to maintain life.&nbsp;</p></li><li><p><strong>Growth</strong> meant increasing in size in all its parts.</p></li><li><p><strong>Adaptation</strong> meant evolving to adapt with the changing environment.</p></li><li><p><strong>Response</strong> <strong>to Stimuli</strong> meant moving for safety and other purposes.</p></li><li><p><strong>Reproduction</strong> meant ability to create similar life as their offsprings.</p></li></ol><p>What I also came to know from there was that people had two basic approaches to life. One sided with <strong>materialism</strong> and the other, <strong>vitalism</strong>.</p><h2>Materialism</h2><p>Materialism opines that animals including humans are extremely complex machines. They are so complex that we haven&#8217;t yet been able to fully understand this level of complexity. But we may, someday. Or we will, one day.</p><p><strong>Rene Descartes</strong> was the first to propose this hypothesis in the seventeenth century. Later, in the nineteenth century, biologists discovered the cell theory of life. It established, without doubt, that all living things were cellular in structure.</p><p>Then came <strong>Charles Darwin</strong> with his impeccable theory of evolution. This striking theory said that evolution took effect through an automatic natural selection of genes within those cells. And it was this alone that enabled Homo sapiens to turn bipeds.</p><p>A little before Darwin, <strong>Jean-Baptiste Lamarck</strong> had proposed that animals could pass on their acquired characteristics to their offsprings. These were the characteristics that they had acquired in their lifetime through use or disuse of select anatomical features, consciously, as a choice.</p><p>The two theories appeared to be in contrast with each other. <strong>Darwin&#8217;s theory</strong> sided with natural selection whereas <strong>Lamarck</strong> had sided with conscious use or disuse responsible for evolution. But <strong>Darwin</strong> never negated <strong>Lamarck&#8217;s proposition</strong> even once in any of his works. He rather supported it. This is simply indicative of the weight in both their propositions.</p><p>In fact, the latest synthesis of human evolution by the <strong>Baldwin Effect</strong> is a reconciliation between the <strong>neo-Darwinian</strong> and the <strong>neo-Lamarckian</strong> approaches. It shows <strong>Lamarckian adaptive changes</strong> being followed by <strong>Darwinian genetic changes</strong> without needing to inherit them directly from the parents.</p><div

This energy is supposed to be <strong>non-physical</strong> in its nature. It has been given different names in different cultures and different disciplines. It enjoyed the status of a <strong>testable hypothesis</strong> in the field of <strong>biology</strong> till as recently as the <strong>nineteenth century</strong>. </p><p>But despite several experiments, <strong>vitalism</strong> has failed to provide any substantial evidence to prove its verity as yet. Hence it has been denigrated to the level of a <strong>superseded scientific theory</strong> at best in the scientific community.</p><p>The scientific community, despite quite successfully dealing a lot with the question of how matter came into existence, accepts it as self-evident as matter is always visible to us. There has never been a necessity to explain its existence. Isn&#8217;t it the same way that life is always visible to us too?

This question comes up when <strong>materialism</strong> claims <strong>complexity</strong> in the material organization as the <strong>precursor of life</strong>. But materialistic science has no irrefutable answer to it yet.</p><p><strong>Vitalists</strong> claim that, in this context, science has no moral ground to criticize <strong>vitalism</strong> as a <strong>superseded scientific theory</strong>. They argue that, by the same token, <strong>complexity could also be called a superseded scientific theory.</strong></p><p><strong>Vitalism</strong> claims that non-physical life energy can exist on its own without being imbibed by the matter. It claims its omnipresence as <strong>cosmic energy</strong>.</p><p>In fact, <strong>vitalism</strong> has a very long history, especially in the field of <strong>alternative medicine</strong>. The list is extremely long but the main proponent systems as vitalistic medicine are <strong>homeopathy</strong>, <strong>acupuncture</strong>, <strong>acupressure</strong>, <strong>aromatherapy</strong>, <strong>chiropractic</strong>, <strong>Chakra healing</strong>, <strong>Reiki</strong>, <strong>Pranic healing</strong>, <strong>cupping therapy</strong>, <strong>energy healing</strong>, <strong>Ayurvedic medicine</strong>, <strong>hypnotherapy</strong>, <strong>naturopathy</strong>, <strong>mind-body Interventions</strong> and <strong>quite a few more</strong>.</p><p>Also, apart from the field of medicine, <strong>vitalism</strong> has its roots dug really deep in human culture in the form of <strong>religion</strong>, <strong>spiritualism</strong>, <strong>morality</strong>, <strong>piety</strong>, <strong>yoga</strong>, <strong>meditation</strong>, <strong>rebirth</strong>, <strong>enlightenment</strong>, <strong>karma theory</strong> and <strong>the most importantly the concept of theism</strong>.</p><p>A majority of the world&#8217;s population believes in almost all these aspects as part of its <strong>culture</strong>. I don&#8217;t need to go numerical here posting their percentages but everyone knows they are quite high.</p><p>Then there are <strong>materialists</strong> in various spheres who are also <strong>vitalists</strong> in their wider approach to life. A certain <strong>Dr. Einstein</strong> comes to mind!</p><h2>The Story of A Materialist Who Was A Vitalist Deep Within</h2><p>Let me tell you a story that took place in the year 1981. I had just gotten married when I met with an accident. It was a serious accident that seemed to have severed one of the tendons on my right biceps.</p><p>I was admitted in one of the best government hospitals. As I was whiling away my time sitting on the hospital bed, waiting to get my tendon stitched surgically, the head of the orthopedic department came with his students. He had planned to demonstrate my condition as a case study to them.</p><p>He started explaining how it was a classical case of biceps severed at its tendon at the elbow joint. I immediately took objection. I said I felt it was at the shoulder joint and not at the elbow joint.</p><p>&#8220;Are you a doctor or I?&#8221; he challenged.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link

trying to save face from his students.</p><p>&#8220;I know better than you do. So better keep shut,&#8221; he came up with his next attack without even being humble enough to listen to his patient.</p><p>&#8220;I feel I have lost faith in you. So I wouldn&#8217;t like to continue with my treatment here,&#8221; I declared my decision then and there.</p><p>&#8220;It will be your responsibility alone in case your problem gets worse because of this,&#8221; he threatened me.</p><p>&#8220;I know that and I will indemnify the hospital when I sign my papers relieving me from here,&#8221; I gave my final verdict.</p><p>After I got relieved, I immediately went to another private orthopedic surgeon and told him the entire story. He checked my arm very cautiously for a long time. Then he silently came up with the words, &#8220;You are right. My teacher is wrong. It is severed on the shoulder joint.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;So?&#8221; I asked.</p><p>&#8220;Please don&#8217;t tell the orthopedic head that I said so. In fact, he has been my teacher. Let him not get hurt further on knowing I have taken up your case. I can immediately start the operation if you are ready,&#8221; he looked for my approval.</p><p>I immediately agreed, &#8220;Please go ahead.&#8221;</p><p>It was a long operation and I got my biceps stitched with 22 sutures on my right shoulder. He discharged me saying that I would be able to start lifting my arm in a month or so.</p><p>I went back home and waited for a full month to pass. But even after that, there seemed to be no signs of me being able to lift my arm at all.</p><p>I rushed back to the doctor. As he checked my arm again, his face went serious. &#8220;You&#8217;ve been very unlucky,&#8221; he said.</p><p>&#8220;Your tendon has nicely gotten attached to your shoulder joint. But unluckily the musculocutaneous nerve has also got crushed in the accident, I suspect,&#8221; he further explained.</p><p>&#8220;So?&#8221; I asked again.</p><p>&#8220;I am referring your case to the head of neurosurgery in the government hospital famous for its neurosurgeons,&#8221; he said.</p><p>The said hospital was just across the road and I immediately met the head of its neurosurgery department. He checked my arm and confirmed that my musculocutaneous nerve had, in fact, been crushed.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

That is because it is extremely tedious and the success rate is not very high either. So we do it only if it is a case of life and death or livelihood. You will have to learn living with it the way it is right now,&#8221; he gave me his prognosis.</p><p>&#8220;But doctor, it is a case of life and death in my case too,&#8221; I said.</p><p>&#8220;How come? What do you do?&#8221; he asked.</p><p>&#8220;I write for a living, which I will no more be able to do with my left hand,&#8221; I replied.</p><p>&#8220;Why? You can always train your left hand to be able to write as easily as with your right hand!&#8221; he suggested me.</p><p>&#8220;I am afraid waiting for it to get trained will prove to be a big handicap in my career. I will be left with no alternative but to commit suicide,&#8221; my tone sounded like a cool determination to do what I had said I would.</p><p>The head suddenly went hyper-emotional, &#8220;No, don&#8217;t do that!&#8221; I could see tears along with empathy in his eyes.</p><p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll be compelled to!&#8221; I said in a depressed tone of voice.</p><p>&#8220;Okay, I am ready to take a chance on operating on your nerve. At least it will be better than dying. Just don&#8217;t commit suicide,&#8221; and he gave me an appointment for an operation on the 26th day of the month and it was only the 1st that day.</p><p>I went back home and kept counting days for the date of my operation to arrive. It was going to be an operation conducted by one of the country&#8217;s most skilled neurosurgeons. But it was another thing that the chances of success were as low as hardly 50%.</p><p>The 26th day kept coming closer and closer but at a snail&#8217;s pace. Every morning, I would look at the calendar and count the days left for the appointment date all over.</p><p>I would also keep trying to lift my arm, the first thing to do each morning. It became a daily routine as soon as I woke up. I did so despite no hope for such attempts to be successful at all.</p><p><strong>And then the miracle happened on the 26th day!</strong></p><p>I woke up in the morning thinking I would rush to the hospital for my operation.

As he saw me lifting my arm every time without any obstruction, he looked to be extremely elated.</p><p>I could again see the tears in his eyes though, this time, they were the tears of happiness. He raised his hands toward the sky and could only say, &#8220;God is great!&#8221;</p><p>I was excited to relive my life without carrying a tag of a disabled man written on my body.</p><p>Later, when I reassembled the entire scene in my critical memory, I really wondered. I wondered how a top ranking expert of a strictly materialistic discipline had spontaneously reacted to what had happened. It hadn&#8217;t ignited any spirit of curiosity in his mind as to how it could have happened. It had rather ignited a spirit of gratitude for something his materialistic discipline had never adhered to.</p><p><strong>Was he a materialist or a vitalist?</strong></p><p>Almost every single person is a complex integration of both these approaches. This great neurosurgeon was no different.</p><p>There is a reason for it. There are quite a few phenomena that the <strong>materialistic</strong> <strong>approach</strong> explains and handles way better than the <strong>vitalistic</strong> approach. But then, there are quite a few other phenomena that the <strong>vitalistic approach</strong> claims it can explain better. These are the ones that the <strong>materialistic approach</strong> has no clue about yet.</p><p>At this point, I urgently feel a real need to tell you another story from my life. These are the stories that I can personally authenticate to be true, word for word. And it is their authenticity that makes them meaningful vehicles to investigate into the nature of life.</p><p>It is again a story of another miracle that happened many years ago.</p><h2>The Story of An Instant Materialistic Miracle That Happened to My Eyes</h2><p>I still remember the date. It was on 12 December 2004 that I was standing near Sarojini Nagar Market in Delhi. I was waiting for my wife to join me for some shopping. She had gotten a little late leaving me standing for a while.</p><p>It was then that the miracle happened.</p><p>I stretched my body a little in order to come out of my static inertia. It was the static inertia of keeping standing at one place for a long time.</p><p>As I looked around after this stretch, I got a tremendously pleasant shock of my life. I was suddenly seeing everything in the field of my vision, far and wide, absolutely crystal-clear. I had never seen so clear in my life before.</p><p>It was a pleasant shock because I had been a myope since I came to my senses. I had been provided with a pair of glasses. That was the first pair of glasses that had been given to me. They had a diopter number of &#8212;5.00 in my left eye and 0.00 in my right. Since my right eye was fine, I had kept those glasses in my drawer and forgotten about them.</p><p>Days had kept passing by and I had forgotten everything about my myopic eyesight. More so because I had been able to see clear with at least one of my eyes. It had also been because I had never liked the idea of wearing those crutches on my eyes.</p><p>A few years later&#8230; by this time, I had completed my engineering and gotten a job as a scientist in the defense ministry. Before starting at my job, I had to get my medical exam done at a scheduled government hospital. When they had tested my eyes there, it had again come to me as a surprise. Both my eyes had needed a corrective diopter number of strength &#8212;2.25.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

My right eye (pun intended) had gone wrong from 0.00 to &#8212;2.25. On the other hand, my left eye had improved tremendously from &#8212;5.00 diopter to &#8212;2.25 on its own. No theory in mainstream ophthalmology had been able to explain this improvement!</p><p>Back (in fact, forward) to the clarity of vision that I experienced on 12 December 2004!</p><p>I was seeing crystal clear in both eyes. It was instantaneous! I wasn&#8217;t able to believe my eyes. In fact, I didn&#8217;t blink for a long time.</p><p>And then I blinked. As my eyes opened again, they were back to the same old blurred vision, far and wide, that I was used to.</p><p>I felt disappointed. But I was not the kind of a vitalist that would say, &#8220;God is great!&#8221; for my instantaneous experience of clarity. Had I been one, I would have forgotten it forever after thanking God for blessing me with a one-time miracle.</p><p>No! Unlike the neurosurgeon who had been so kind to me, I wouldn&#8217;t leave it at that. I didn&#8217;t know how I was able to see so clearly just a minute ago. But I was curious enough to want to know. My mind was totally clueless about it. Keeping this in mind, I turned to my body to repeat what it had done a few seconds ago.</p><p>Luckily, the body still had its memory of the maneuver it had done a few seconds ago, intact. It rolled me back into the same clarity of vision again. I tried with my mind to take notes of the body maneuver but failed. The maneuver, though instantaneous, was so complex that my mind wasn&#8217;t able to understand it in clear steps of action.</p><p>It was frustrating not to be able to know it as a clear series of steps. At the same time, though, it was also exciting to experience my body being able to jump into it at will.</p><p>In the coming days, I kept playing this mind-body game. It went on for two full years. That is how long it took for my body to slowly and steadily explain all the steps it had used in the maneuver, to my mind. One by one&#8230;by one! It was my perseverance alone that got it done, though it had taken two full years in the process. I had to upgrade my mind to achieve this; something I did through a lot of research. Research in any and every discipline I suspected of having an answer.</p><p>During my research, I studied <strong>mainstream German ophthalmology</strong> which was unable to explain how I was able to correct my own eyesight.</p><p>I then came across the works of <strong>Dr W.H.Bates</strong>, an American ophthalmologist. I learned that <strong>Dr. Bates</strong> had discarded <strong>mainstream German ophthalmology</strong> very early in his ophthalmology practice as far as the process of accommodation was concerned. In return, <strong>mainstream German ophthalmology</strong> had ostracized him; something that stands till date. That had never bothered <strong>Dr. Bates</strong> himself, though.</p><p>He was a <strong>perfect materialist</strong> who created his own version of the process of accommodation in ophthalmology. German ophthalmology has always maintained that it is impossible to reverse eyesight once it has gone bad. Bates, however, claimed otherwise. In fact, he claimed to have cured thousands of myopic patients during his lifetime.</p><p>Regardless, <strong>Bates&#8217; method had a serious shortcoming</strong> in that its results were not instantaneous. It almost never showed an instantaneous effect to its practitioners. They needed to have a great amount of patience which very few of them really had.</p><p>The reason was that Bates primarily targeted the relaxation of mind rather than that of body. It was not a direct physical method. It was rather a more circuitous one addressing the mind. It depended on the mind to convey the message of relaxation to the eyes in an indirect way. And that was why it took so much time.</p><p>Moreover, mind is never a concrete and always a vague entity. It may delude itself into believing that it is in a relaxed state even when it is not at all so. Therefore, maneuvering the body is way more concrete than maneuvering the mind. In the domain of the body, one can be 100% sure that one is following the exact procedure laid out in front of them.</p><p><strong>Bates was more concerned with central fixation of the mind in order to achieve central fixation of the eyes.</strong></p><p><strong>I was lucky enough to be able to turn it around.</strong></p><p><strong>I could focus my research on central fixation of the eyes via physical maneuvering of the extra ocular muscles.</strong></p><p><strong>Just as changes in the mind affect the body, changes in the body affect the mind as well.</strong></p><div

An <strong>instant feedback</strong> at each and every step assures one that they are on the <strong>right track</strong>. </p><p><strong>Imagine being able to read an extra line on the Snellen chart in a few minutes if not seconds. </strong></p><p><strong>How much will that enthuse us to proceed further with the meditative procedure of central fixation!</strong></p><p>That is what Skeletal Leap has replaced the Bates method with as far as vision improvement is concerned.</p><h2>The Chakra Discipline</h2><p>However, there was much more to my research than this. I accidentally came across an ancient Indian procedure of opening chakras in the body in order to achieve a complete relaxation of the mind-body system.</p><p>The problem with this system was that it was quite <strong>esoteric</strong> in its structure. It was esoterically enshrined deep inside multiple layers of secrecy and an extremely complex mysterious vitalistic framework. All that we can find on the Internet about <strong>chakras</strong> is merely <strong>plagiarized copies of the same esoteric scriptures</strong>. Their so-called authors are mostly equally devoid of personal experience and hence a real insight into the discipline.</p><p>The <strong>Chakra discipline</strong> really helped me a lot in my research. I was again very lucky in being able to shift its central theme from complexity to simplicity. I could turn its vague and complex &#8216;spiritual&#8217; procedures to extremely simple <strong>skeletal procedures</strong> to <strong>open chakras</strong> for <strong>mind-body relaxation</strong>.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

<strong>Instant eyesight improvement was only one of them.</strong></p><h3>Here is what I ultimately came up with&#8230;</h3><p><strong>7 chakras</strong>, when they are closed, are <strong>anatomical deformities in functional groups of internal body organs</strong>. These are the <strong>groups of skeletal joints along with muscles, nerves and blood vessels attached to them</strong>. The <strong>vagus nerve</strong> is also a part of them. They block <strong>Kundalini</strong> from moving up through <strong>Sushumna</strong> to the <strong>brain</strong> in a streamlined flow. As a result, it starts rotating in a circle, like a <strong>vortex</strong>, at the location of the block rather than moving ahead straight. That is why the said blocks are called <strong>chakras</strong>. The ultimate results of opening them, as predicted in the scriptures, are <strong>a gushing surge of energy from the gut to the brain</strong>.</p><p>It is called <strong>Kundalini Awakening</strong> in the language of the <strong>Chakra discipline</strong>. And this is what the most central theme of <strong>Skeletal Leap</strong> is.</p><h2>Skeletal Leap: Materialistic Or Vitalistic?</h2><p>In the system of <strong>Skeletal Leap</strong>, the skeletal posturing corrections are called <strong>skeletal meditations</strong>. This is because they are as <strong>intense</strong> as they are <strong>simple</strong> when it comes to making them one&#8217;s first nature 24 x 7 x 365. It means being in a <strong>meditative state</strong> every single moment and not only for the duration of <strong>sitting in meditation</strong> alone.</p><p><strong>That is why I call skeletal meditations the mother of all mediation on earth. </strong></p><p>They are more physical than spiritual, constantly ensuring that we are undoubtedly on the right track. We simply cannot delude ourselves with something absolutely non-meditative while doing these skeletal meditations.</p><p><strong>Siding with physical skeletal meditations doesn&#8217;t mean that I ignore the mental and spiritual realities. I only say that we should start our journey into the unknown from the well-known grounds of familiarity and clarity. That way, we are less prone to get lost in its labyrinth.</strong></p><p>And the ultimate skeletal meditation has the power to take us to <strong>spiritual awakening</strong>. In the language of skeletal meditation, it means <strong>freedom from all illusion</strong>. </p><p><strong>It is illusion that blocks our sensitivity from sensing the free flow of energy in our mind-body system.</strong></p><p>The physical approach is the surest and the shortest way to all salvation, be it physical, mental or spiritual. And this is so, even if our ultimate goal is spiritual alone. That is what <strong>Skeletal Leap</strong> ultimately stands for.</p><p>Thanks for listening to this episode of <strong>Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure</strong>!

I had never been able to see clear at a distance.</p><p>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. And now, Skeletal Leap is that feasible action plan.</p><p>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 itself and adopts the said posture as its first nature for good.</p><p>This chapter is Part 1 of my 19-week masterclass for <strong>The Mind-Body Connection</strong>.

At least one.</p><p>My name is <strong>Laadi Ojas</strong>. Welcome to &#8220;<strong>Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure</strong>&#8221;. </p><p>Skeletal Leap transforms one&#8217;s life into a personal heaven.</p><p>Today&#8217;s episode will tell you about a miracle in the making, creating a personal heaven in life.</p><p><strong>Miracles are patterns, just patterns.</strong></p><p>It is only that they are seen very rarely.</p><p>They surprise us because we haven&#8217;t yet been accustomed to seeing them in the normal course of perception. Still, there is not much difference between the two. A pattern is a pattern is a pattern.</p><p>I often wonder why normal patterns don&#8217;t surprise us too. I think it is because we take them for granted and hence they don&#8217;t ignite our curiosity to question them ever. Taking a thing for granted is a kind of belief that we often fall prey to. Beliefs stop us from looking into the so-called normal patterns a little deeper.</p><p><strong>Anyway, have you seen a miracle happening in front of your eyes ever?</strong></p><div

It is big in the sense that it hasn&#8217;t yet fully been explored for its far-reaching potential. It is also to be assessed in a widespread scientific manner under a strict laboratory kind of testing. Its results, though, are instantaneous and 100% every single time it is performed. Regardless, it needs to be performed more often than it is right now. Like with breathing where we are always sure of filling our lungs with oxygen every time we inhale. Once this miracle becomes as commonly employed as breathing, it will start being taken as the so-called normal pattern. And then, no more laboratory tests will ever be required to prove it.</p><p>Well, so what exactly is this stuff that I have been going on and on about?</p><p><strong>I call it Skeletal Leap!</strong></p><h2>Skeletal Leap</h2><p>It means taking the next leap in our evolution by changing our skeletal posture, 7 million years after our predecessors adopted it first. That was when hominins had turned from quadrupeds to bipeds for the first time. Bipedal evolution started a new revolution on this planet.</p><p>It was a real miracle. No other animal had ever stood up on its twos consciously before. This step of theirs was certainly a big leap that they had spontaneously taken though in conscious phases. It might not have been comfortable for them for a long time to come. But it certainly gave them tremendous opportunities for unlimited newer skills to master.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Thanks to them for that!</p><h2>Smize: Smiling with Eyes</h2><p>More recently, I came across a newly coined word in a different context that hurled me toward a new Skeletal Leap. It is called &#8216;<strong>Smize</strong>&#8217;. </p><p><strong>Smize</strong>, a word coined by <strong>Tyra Banks</strong>, means smiling with your eyes. The way smize came to me was a miracle in itself. According to <strong>Macmillan Dictionary</strong>&#8230; </p><p><em><strong>&#8220;Even if you haven&#8216;t yet come across the word smize, the concept it represents will be familiar to you. It is the warmth and positivity that a person can instinctively convey by contorting the muscles in and around their eyes. The verb smize was coined in 2009 by US model and television personality Tyra Banks.&#8221; </strong></em></p><p><em><strong>&#8220;She had first used it on reality TV series &#8220;America&#8216;s Next Top Model&#8220;. Banks used the term when teaching contestants to bring expression to their eyes. It was whilst keeping the rest of their face neutral, a customary practice in modeling.&#8221; </strong></em></p><p><em><strong>&#8220;Though the word is novel, the concept it represents is timeless. It had already been observed in Renaissance portrait art through to the silent movies of the 1920s. That was the time when stars such as Charlie Chaplin were the masters of the smize.&#8221; </strong></em></p><p><em><strong>&#8220;Smizing is also linked to the 1960s concept of a micro expression. It was a term popularized more recently by US psychologist Paul Ekman. Paul has been a pioneer in the study of emotions and their relation to facial expressions.&#8221; </strong></em></p><p><em><strong>&#8220;Ekman describes micro expressions as involuntary facial expressions, which occur within a fraction of a second, often without our knowing. In fact, they cause&nbsp;&#8216;emotional leakage&#8216;, i.e., expose our true feelings.&#8221;</strong></em></p><p><strong>- </strong><em><strong>Courtesy, Macmillan Dictionary 2021</strong></em></p><p>So, <strong>Tyra</strong> had shot her arrow in 2009.</p><p>It might have kept moving straight in the direction it was shot. It did so until it hit me in 2022 in another part of the planet in a totally different connotation.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

This happens when the image of the object being seen is created exactly at the fovea on the retina.</p><h3>Central Fixation Of The Body</h3><p><strong>Central fixation of the body</strong> means executing what our body is doing, the best possible way. This happens when the body centers itself at its core (&#8216;hara&#8217; in Japanese), two inches below the navel.</p><h3>Central Fixation Of The Mind</h3><p><strong>Central fixation of the mind</strong> means focusing on what our brain is thinking most sharply. This happens when the mind empties itself, enabling the brain to take complete charge of thinking.</p><p>All three of them have separate skeletal posturing codes taking one to the said states of central fixation.</p><p>Smize just follows one of these codes that has to do with central fixation of the eyes. But its beauty is that it is always present as an essential part of the other two codes as well. In fact, it automatically slips into those two.</p><p>Whichever mode of central fixation we are in, we always automatically start smiling with our eyes.</p><p>The subject does merit further investigation.</p><p>And so do <strong>skeletal meditations</strong>, <strong>Smize</strong> being just one of the many out there!</p><p>Almost 100 years ago, the famous ophthalmologist <strong>Dr W.H. Bates</strong> first wrote about central fixation. Here is a quote from him&#8230;</p><p><em><strong>&#8220;Not only do all errors of refraction and all functional disturbances of the eye disappear when it sees by central fixation, but many organic conditions are relieved or cured. I am unable to set any limits to its possibilities. I would not have ventured to predict that glaucoma, incipient cataract and syphilitic iritis could be cured by central fixation; but it is a fact that these conditions have disappeared when central fixation was attained.&#8221; </strong></em></p><p><em><strong>&#8220;Relief was often obtained in a few minutes, and, in rare cases, this relief was permanent. Usually, however, a permanent cure required more prolonged treatment. Inflammatory conditions of all kinds, including inflammation of the cornea, iris, conjunctiva, the various coats of the eyeball and even the optic nerve itself, have been benefited by central fixation after other methods had failed.&#8221; </strong></em></p><p><em><strong>&#8220;Infections, as well as diseases caused by protein poisoning and the poisons of typhoid fever, influenza, syphilis and gonorrhoea, have also been benefited by it. Even with a foreign body in the eye there is no redness and no pain so long as central fixation is retained. Since central fixation is impossible without mental control, central fixation of the eye means central fixation of the mind.&#8221; </strong></em></p><p><em><strong>&#8220;It means, therefore, health in all parts of the body, for all the operations of the physical mechanism depend upon the mind. Not only the sight, but all the other senses&#8212;touch, taste, hearing and smell&#8212;are benefited by central fixation. All the vital processes&#8212;digestion, assimilation, elimination, etc.&#8212;are improved by it. The symptoms of functional and organic diseases are relieved. The efficiency of the mind is enormously increased.&#8221; </strong></em></p><p><em><strong>&#8220;The benefits of central fixation already observed are, in short, so great that the subject merits further investigation.&#8221;</strong></em></p><p>- <em><strong>Courtesy, Dr. W. H. Bates</strong></em></p><h2>Skeletal Meditations</h2><p><strong>Skeletal meditations</strong> are physical meditations concerned with posturing skeletal joints the way they ideally evolved to be postured supporting bipedal evolution. These are <strong>physical meditations</strong> aimed at achieving <strong>central fixation</strong> as opposed to the mental ones presently in vogue. They have a plus point in that, being a physical phenomenon, they are <strong>tangible</strong> and direct enough to grasp and practice.</p><p><strong>Intangible phenomena</strong> can very easily go vague and enter the zone of confusion and complexity. On the contrary, tangible phenomena can always be measured and hence remain self-regulatory, always keeping themselves well-defined. That is the reason <strong>skeletal meditations</strong> are simple and direct in their procedures and the results they achieve.</p><p><strong>Skeletal meditations</strong> hold great promises when executed through the three procedures of <strong>central fixation</strong>, namely, <strong>central fixation of the eyes</strong>, <strong>central fixation of the body</strong> and <strong>central fixation of the mind</strong>.</p><p>In its entirety, I have named it <strong>Skeletal Leap</strong>.</p><p><strong>I call it the mother of all meditations on earth.</strong></p><p><strong>Skeletal Leap</strong> investigates the <strong>integration of skeletal re-posturing with central fixation</strong> to address various human concerns. It works by maneuvering the <strong>skeleton</strong> to achieve its <strong>ideal posture</strong>, equally in its <strong>static</strong> as well as <strong>dynamic</strong> states.</p><p><strong>Evolutionarily speakin</strong>g, the <strong>human skeleton</strong> underwent an unprecedented extent of transformation during <strong>bipedal evolution</strong> in an extremely short prehistoric span of time.</p><p>This transformation meant that our ancestors&#8217; <strong>front legs</strong> turned free to eventually become <strong>hands</strong>.</p><p>It gave them way more opportunities leading them to innovate newer kinds of actions. They started mastering these newer actions that no other animal on the planet could, through the <strong>entire history of evolution</strong>.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

It certainly gave them a decisive edge over their competitors on land and in water.</p><p>But it all came with a <strong>price tag</strong> they had to pay for it, maybe unknowingly.</p><p><strong>And it was not a one-time payment.</strong></p><p><strong>We, their successors, are still paying that price each and every day of our lives. Even after 7 million years of our first venture into it!</strong></p><p>And the price was that this leap in evolution turned the entire length of our torsos from a <strong>horizontal</strong> orientation to a <strong>vertical</strong> one. When the torso was horizontally oriented, it was supported on four legs.</p><p><strong>There were almost no further pulls of gravity on it.</strong></p><p>As it came to a vertical orientation, <strong>gravity</strong> started pulling it down <strong>way more than before</strong>. It started pulling the <strong>joints</strong> of our skeleton <strong>down</strong>, especially on its upper parts which swung into the air without any solid support beneath.</p><p>The main victims were the <strong>skull</strong>, the <strong>shoulders</strong>, the <strong>backbone</strong>, the <strong>thoracic diaphragm</strong>, the <strong>hips</strong> and the <strong>knees</strong>.</p><p>Also, as the <strong>brain</strong> further evolved, it gave birth to <strong>negative emotions</strong> along with <strong>positive ones</strong> that joined hands with <strong>gravity</strong>. They played an extra role in <strong>tucking</strong> these <strong>pulled-down joints</strong> <strong>&#8216;in&#8217;</strong>, resulting in contracting the muscles attached to them. All this resulted in these <strong>joints staying pulled down and tucked in rather than staying up and out.</strong></p><p>Our <strong>skeleton</strong> got habitually postured in this <strong>deformed state</strong> as opposed to its <strong>ideal postural evolution</strong>. And we have been living with the same <strong>deformed posture of the skeleton</strong> every single day since then.</p><p>The downward pulls and inward tucks are inflicted on the rest of the skeleton through its <strong>joints</strong>. These <strong>joints</strong> are the points to which <strong>muscles</strong> are attached as well. These deformations <strong>forcibly contract</strong> or <strong>unnecessarily stretch</strong> these <strong>muscles</strong> and keep them so, beyond their natural state, <strong>perennially</strong>.</p><p>As a result, the said muscles get <strong>rigidified</strong> in those forcibly contracted or unnecessarily stretched lengths of their tissues.</p><p><strong>In case of perennial contraction, they no more sit relaxed even when they are not supposed to do any work.</strong></p><p><strong>And vice versa&#8202;&#8212;&#8202;in case of perennial stretch, they go lethargic even when they are supposed to stay contracted.</strong></p><p>With the passage of time, they habitually get stuck in those unnatural stances.</p><p><strong>These unnatural stances keep us lethargic as well as tired all day long.</strong></p><p>On top of it, they also have <strong>nerve endings</strong> and <strong>blood vessel endings</strong> attached to them.</p><p><strong>As muscle shapes get distorted, so do the nerves and the blood vessels in their vicinity.</strong></p><h2>The Vagus Nerve: Communication between The Gut and The Brain</h2><div

Image from The Mind Body Connection courtesy of the author.</em></figcaption></figure></div><p>As per the vitalistic approach, this life energy is called <strong>Kundalini</strong> in the ancient <strong>Chakra System</strong> first originated in the <strong>Indian subcontinent</strong>. It is designed to flow via the central nerve passing through the spine, called <strong>Sushumna</strong> in Sanskrit language. <strong>Sushumn</strong>a is the non-physical harmonized state of its constituent nerves, <strong>Ida</strong> and <strong>Pingala</strong>. It is exactly like the so-called <strong>vagus nerve</strong> actually comprising ventral vagus and dorsal vagus in English as its real biological constituents.</p><p>Lately, there has been a widespread debate raging on a burning issue in <strong>Chakra parlance</strong>. The topic is whether <strong>Ida</strong> and <strong>Pingala</strong> are the same nerves as <strong>ventral vagus</strong> and <strong>dorsal vagus</strong> or not. And if they are same, what is the equivalent of the non-physical harmonized state <strong>Sushumna</strong> in <strong>vagus parlance</strong>.</p><p>The majority opinion stands in clear favor of their <strong>congruity</strong>. The parallel of <strong>Sushumna</strong> has been conceived to be a harmonized state of the two constituent vagus nerves, <strong>ventral vagus</strong> and <strong>dorsal vagus</strong>. This harmonized state is simply known as a <strong>singular vagus nerve</strong>.</p><p>In my own personal experience, I found the surges of the rising energy clearly belonging to the two parlances interchangeably. I always sensed the rising energy of <strong>Kundalini</strong> in the <strong>Chakra parlanc</strong>e as a sudden uninterrupted <strong>communication between the gut and the brain</strong> initiated by a <strong>harmonized vagus nerve</strong>.</p><p><strong>It energizes the base of the pelvis with a sexual connotation. And exactly at the same time, it energizes the top of the head with a spiritual connotation emptying my mind. The vagal tone goes up and visual perception becomes extremely acute. I personally have no doubt on the question of their congruity.</strong></p><p>Hence, I will be using the terms <strong>Sushumna Nadi</strong> and <strong>vagus nerve</strong> interchangeably throughout the podcast. It will help me integrate the <strong>materialistic</strong> and the <strong>vitalistic</strong> approaches as one single whole in the <strong>Chakra parlance</strong>.</p><p><strong>And it does make sense to me that the truth lies somewhere in between the two parlances&#8230;in no man&#8217;s land.</strong></p><p>In order for <strong>Kundalini</strong> to flow through <strong>Sushumna</strong> uninterrupted, it needs to be in its original undeformed shape. But as we have seen above, nerves also get deformed with postural deformities of the skeleton.</p><p>Hence <strong>Sushumna</strong> is not able to let <strong>Kundalini</strong> efficiently flow uninterrupted through it to the <strong>crown chakra</strong>. The flow of <strong>Kundalini</strong> gets blocked on its way to rise up through <strong>Sushumna</strong>. As per the <strong>materialistic approach</strong>, it is quite parallel to the <strong>communication from gut to brain</strong> via <strong>vagus nerve</strong> getting blocked.</p><p><strong>This communication blockage is detrimental although parts of it leak through as non-uniform trickles.</strong></p><p>These non-uniform trickles are certainly not sufficient to keep us healthily energetic enough in our life. They, however, save us from turning dead instantaneously. It is quite logical. The <strong>vitalistic approach</strong> toward life considers <strong>Kundalini</strong> as the basic <strong>life energy</strong> instilling life into matter.</p><p>Hence an absolute absence of its flow through <strong>Sushumna</strong> is bound to kill the organism instantly. In fact, it holds good for both explanatory approaches, the <strong>materialistic approach</strong> and the <strong>vitalistic approach</strong>.</p><p>With this <strong>lack of life energy</strong> <strong>or neural communication</strong> in our system, we become prone to contracting many <strong>lifestyle diseases</strong>. They affect our crucial internal organs and their systems negatively not only anatomically but physiologically as well. The worst victims are our <strong>skeletal</strong>, <strong>nervous</strong>, <strong>muscular</strong>, <strong>respiratory</strong>, <strong>endocrine</strong>, <strong>immune</strong>, <strong>cardiovascular</strong>, <strong>urinary</strong>, <strong>integumentary</strong>, <strong>reproductive</strong>, and <strong>digestive systems</strong>.</p><p>It ends up turning life into a painful experience rather than a joyful excursion on the planet.</p><p>There is no fun living life with an extremely limited amount of energy.</p><p>It compels us to participate in its activities miserly even though we love doing them abundantly.</p><p><strong>Living an abundant life is the real fun of life. We need abundance of energy to enjoy the abundance of gifts life has in store for us.</strong></p><p>As per the <strong>vitalistic approach</strong>, we need a full flow of <strong>Kundalini</strong> rising through <strong>Sushumna</strong> up to the <strong>crown chakra</strong>. It imparts us with perennial joy of perception and action in whatever we do.</p><p>And as per the <strong>materialistic approach</strong>, we do need a full <strong>neural communication between the gut and the brain</strong>.</p><p>Which points in <strong>Sushumna</strong> does <strong>Kundalini</strong> get interrupted at?</p><p>Generally speaking, there are 7 of them between the pelvis and the top of the head. They are called <strong>chakras</strong>. They are like 7 gates which are open when the <strong>7 chakras</strong> are open. But if the <strong>chakras</strong> are partially or almost completely closed, the gates in <strong>Sushumna</strong> follow suit.</p><h2>Chakras: Blocking The Flow of Energy</h2><div

when they are closed, are anatomical deformities in functional groups of internal body organs. These are the groups of <strong>skeletal joints</strong> along with <strong>muscles</strong>, <strong>nerves</strong> and <strong>blood vessels</strong> attached to them. The <strong>vagus nerve</strong> is also a major part of them.</p><p>In the <strong>Chakra parlance</strong>, they block <strong>Kundalini</strong> from moving up through <strong>Sushumna</strong> to the <strong>crown chakra</strong> in a streamlined flow. As a result, it starts rotating in a circle, like a <strong>vortex</strong>, at the location of the block rather than moving straight ahead. That is why the said blocks are called <strong>chakras</strong>.</p><p>Open <strong>chakras</strong> have no deformities and no blocks in the way of <strong>Kundalini</strong> rising up through <strong>Sushumna</strong> to the <strong>crown chakra</strong>.</p><p><strong>In fact, when open, they don&#8217;t even exist and, therefore, it has been my contention that they shouldn&#8217;t even be called chakras at those points.</strong></p><p>The above definitions of closed and open chakras are not stereotypical definitions like the ones showing up all over the Internet. Such definitions keep blowing the same old trumpet.</p><p>They define <strong>chakras</strong> as the <strong>centers of energy</strong>.</p><p><strong>Nothing can be farther from the truth.</strong></p><p><strong>Chakras are chakras, only when they are closed.</strong></p><p><strong>Open chakras are no chakras at all.</strong></p><p><strong>So, chakras only exist as villains and there is no version of them that is a hero.</strong></p><p><strong>And we should take care to paint them in their correct perspective.</strong></p><p>My definitions above are, in fact, the results of <strong>my firsthand experience</strong> with the way these <strong>chakras</strong> behave and function. These are also the result of <strong>my experience</strong> with <strong>Kundalini</strong> flowing up uninterrupted through <strong>Sushumna</strong>.</p><p>We, Homo sapiens, are the ones that have collectively developed <strong>chakras</strong> (<strong>which automatically means they are closed, remember!</strong>).</p><p><strong>Now, the time has come for us to take the next major leap in Homo sapiens evolution.</strong></p><p><strong>And we are an intelligent species now.</strong> Hence we can certainly activate this next phase of evolution way better than we did the first one 7 million years ago.</p><p><strong>Every single Homo sapiens needs to activate this next phase of evolution individually.</strong></p><p>But for this to take place, each Home sapiens needs to have the practical knowledge of how to activate it correctly. One single slight mistake and the entire skeletal maneuver may just go absolutely fruitless.</p><p>This maneuver is a very subtle skeletal re-posturing that makes it possible for us to take the Skeletal Leap.</p><p><strong>That is why I call it the mother of all meditations on earth.</strong></p><p>At times, even the difference of a few millimeters of skeletal maneuver is sufficient enough to create a totally new experience. The experience can be that of perception, action or the flow of energy in the vicinity of the maneuver.</p><p>These slight, tiny maneuvers at specific skeletal points make all the difference on earth. In fact, it is a series of skeletal meditations that needs to be done under proper guidance.</p><p>These <strong>skeletal guided meditations</strong> are purely biological in their form and structure. But they are real miracles! They have a miraculous potential that allows <strong>Kundalini energy</strong> or <strong>neural communication</strong> to start flowing uninterrupted through the body with proper breathing. There are various skeletal postural adjustments to be made for various purposes.</p><p>In <strong>chakra parlance</strong>, this would be considered the &#8216;<strong>opening of chakras</strong>&#8217;.<br>We need to make these <strong>skeletal meditations</strong> our first nature 24x7x365.</p><p><strong>It is to be done by keeping our skeletal posture ready and relaxed at all its joints, together.</strong></p><p>Each skeletal meditation can become our first nature leading us to a perennial state of the said meditation. From that point on, we would not need to sit for that particular skeletal meditation ever again. It would effortlessly become a part and parcel of our very existence.</p><p>Each of these skeletal meditations, then, would essentially end up granting us <strong>local salvation</strong> at its intended level. Going up along their hierarchical levels, it would then become readily possible to achieve <strong>holistic salvation</strong> as well.</p><p>Once there, we would only need to ensure that we never fall back into our old skeletal posture again.</p><h2>Guided Meditations</h2><p>That is what <strong>Skeletal Leap</strong> will try to investigate further ahead. We will come up with specific insights into guided meditations that can achieve:</p><p><strong>Spiritual Awakening</strong> | <strong>Kundalini Awakening</strong> | <strong>Chakra Opening</strong> | <strong>Instant Eyesight Improvement</strong> | <strong>Hara (nabhi kendra or core) Centering</strong> | <strong>Mindfulness through Emptying The Mind</strong></p><p>Skeletal Leap&#8217;s guided meditations have been designed to address pretty much all concerns Homo sapiens have, as listed ahead:</p><p><em><strong>smize/ beautiful shining eyes, natural facelift, dark circles under eyes, serotonin release, endorphin release, dopamine release, oxytocin release, immune system boost, headache, back pain, hypertension, sleep, anxiety, healing, relaxation, deep relaxation, chakra, stress, visualization, positive energy, calm, weight loss, yoga nidra, depression, abundance, vipassana, letting go, love, confidence, grief, root chakra, sacral chakra, solar plexus chakra, heart chakra, throat chakra, third eye chakra, crown chakra, energy, forgiveness, emotional healing, calming the mind, breathing, energy cleanse, progressive muscle relaxation, stretching, and peace</strong></em></p><p>The next Homo sapiens evolution has an additional potential of becoming a panacea for all kinds of <strong>lifestyle diseases</strong>. A short list of lifestyle diseases that Skeletal Leap tends to heal includes:</p><p><em><strong>stress, obesity, myopia, presbyopia, headaches, back pain, body aches, hypertension, arthritis, spondylitis, neck pain, shoulder pain, personality disorders, heart disease, stroke, sexual disorders, and more</strong></em></p><p><strong>We can evolve now, or else we keep suffering.</strong></p><p>Thanks for listening to this episode of <strong>Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure</strong>!

collective transformation has never been more pressing. </p><p>In the latest episode of a thought-provoking podcast, host Laadi Ojas delves into the concept of creating a &#8220;personal heaven&#8221; as a pathway to a more fulfilling life and a sustainable future for our planet. </p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor"

larger movement aimed at achieving a collective heaven on earth. </p><p>This concept is not just about personal satisfaction; it&#8217;s about recognizing our interconnectedness and the impact each of us has on the world around us. </p><p>As Laadi eloquently states, &#8220;Earth wants to take everything back now,&#8221; it highlights the urgent need for us to reassess our relationship with nature and our resources. </p><p>The episode emphasizes that creating a personal heaven involves profound changes in our lives&#8212;changes that can ripple out to effect socio-cultural transformations. </p><p>Laadi also shares insights on how these individual changes can initiate a chain reaction, eventually leading to a collective movement that fosters peace, joy, and fulfillment for all species on earth. </p><p>Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own lives and consider how they can contribute to this collective change. </p><p>The podcast discusses the importance of being sensitive to the biological processes that affect our lives and the socio-cultural dynamics that shape our society. </p><p>It challenges us to take cognizance of the miraculous patterns in our lives and to experiment with new ways of thinking and being. </p><p>As Laadi points out, we stand at a critical juncture in history, where our actions today will determine the future of life on this planet. </p><p>The podcast invites us to be humble enough to learn from our past mistakes and to take immediate action toward creating a better world for ourselves and for our future generations. </p><p>If you&#8217;re seeking inspiration to transform your life and make a positive impact on the world, this episode is a must-listen. </p><p>Join Laadi Ojas on this enlightening journey of self-discovery and collective awakening, and be part of the movement to create a personal and collective heaven on earth. </p><p>Tune in now, and let&#8217;s embark on this living adventure together!</p><h2>Manifest

planet&#8217;s resources, without giving back what we took from it. Earth wants to take everything back now.</p><p>My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to &#8220;Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure&#8221;. Skeletal Leap transforms one&#8217;s life into a personal heaven.</p><p>Today&#8217;s episode will tell you how I cracked the code of experiencing spiritual bliss and creating a collective heaven on earth.</p><p>I created a personal heaven for myself in my life, alone on my own. But I dream of something much bigger than this that I cannot create alone.</p><p>I dream of creating a collective heaven on earth turning it into a place of spiritual bliss which is only possible when a sufficient number of people have already created their individual personal heavens in their own lives one by one by one. As soon as this number reaches a critical minimum sufficient enough to initiate a chain reaction among the masses, it will be able to turn into a movement on its own. Creating a collective heaven on earth will not be far away then. The movement itself will take care of this until the destination is reached.</p><p>Every personal heaven is a story of one personal self. Wouldn&#8217;t you like to spread the message of your personal heaven to create a collective heaven all around you on the planet? I am talking about after you have already created your own personal heaven. You can immediately do it with the help of miraculous codes I have discussed about in this podcast.</p><p>Yes, miracles do happen.</p><p>We just need to take their cognizance and analyze their patterns.</p><p>It takes a lot of sensitivity to take their cognizance. And it takes a lot of experimentation to analyze the patterns they follow.</p><p>I had always been quite sensitive to take cognizance of biological processes and of their consequent personal effects in an individual body as well as their sociocultural effects in groups.</p><p>I would also analyze their patterns in their minutest details along with their consequent effects on the subjects&#8217; personalities.</p><p>It&#8217;s a change in an individual personality that initiates the process of a sociocultural change in a society.</p><p>And when a sufficient number of individual personality changes has taken place, the process of consequent sociocultural change gathers momentum.</p><p>There is always a condition that these personality changes must be profound enough to do the needful. They should also be aligned with one another to effect the consequent sociocultural changes in a single, desired direction.</p><p>How can those individual personality changes be initiated? And how can it be ensured that such a change is profound?</p><p>The answer to both these questions is by creating a personal heaven in life and then spreading the word out for creating a collective heaven on earth.</p><p>An individual change transforms an individual life into one&#8217;s own personal heaven.</p><p>A collective change will transform the entire world into a collective heaven worth living in.</p><p>I think our species is the apt custodian of life on the sole &#8216;living planet&#8217; in the entire known universe.</p><p>Today, we have almost reached the edge of the point of no return from the harmful effects of human-induced climate change.</p><p>As of today, the two major ice sheets at Greenland and Antarctica are melting speedily. If the greenhouse gases are not stopped from emitting further, the rise of the global sea level is going to cause havoc.</p><p>If the global temperature ultimately increases by 1.5 - 2.00 degree celsius, the melting of these ice sheets may become irreversible. Higher rainfall and higher flooding events would engulf the northern hemisphere. It would end up in the extinction of quite a few species of plants, insects and vertebrates. Under extreme weather conditions, there are going to be way more spontaneous forest fires. And we have already started seeing all these effects in the past few years!</p><p>As David Attenborough said, &#8220;What we do in the next twenty years will determine the future of all life on earth.&#8221;</p><p>Who is to be blamed for it?</p><p>Our mind, our society and our culture!</p><p>Who else?</p><p>Our mind is greedy. It&#8217;s greedy because it&#8217;s fearful.</p><p>We, as a species, wanted to progress as much as we would, as fast as we could.</p><p>We overexploited our planet&#8217;s resources, without giving back what we took from it. Earth wants to take everything back now.</p><p>Isn&#8217;t it a lesson for our mind? Isn&#8217;t it a lesson for the way we have structured the concept and the practice of growth and development for our society? Isn&#8217;t it a lesson for our value system that we have erected human culture on?</p><p>Today, if we are humble enough to learn our lesson, we need to take immediate action.</p><p>Are we ready to gift a better life to ourselves today and bequeath a better world to our loved ones for tomorrow? A life devoid of disease, stress, despair and unfulfilled emotions! And a world devoid of barbed wires, turmoil, confusion, competition, conspiracies, scarcity and, most significantly, a world devoid of a lurking threat of climatic apocalypse!</p><p>It will lead us to a life replete with health, energy, joy, passion and fulfillment! And a world replete with freedom, peace, insight, collaboration, opportunities, abundance and a safe future for all species of life on earth!</p><p>Let&#8217;s do it.</p><p>Just do it.</p><p>Thanks for listening to this episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure! In the next episode, I will tell you about a miracle in the making, creating a personal heaven in life.</p><p>Be a part of Skeletal Leap Community! Subscribe to Skeletal Leap Newsletter.

story in itself. Make your story more interesting for yourself and for your loved ones!</p><p>My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to &#8220;Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure&#8221;. Skeletal Leap transforms one&#8217;s life into a personal heaven.</p><p>Today&#8217;s episode will tell you how I cracked the code of experiencing wholeness and creating a personal heaven in life.</p><p>My journey had started with addressing a lifestyle disease as an isolated health issue named myopia. But later it took me up to a point where I started turning it into a journey leading to the wholeness of life. This wholeness included all kinds of biological, mental and spiritual health issues with the help of one single modality working as a panacea.</p><p>It was nothing less than a miracle. It further proved itself as a real miracle by taking me back to the central fixation of the eyes once again in my life just a little more than a year ago. It was when I contracted an age-related condition of cataract caused by protein coagulation in the natural crystalline lenses in my eyes at age 72. This condition results from natural wear and tear by protein coagulation hardening the lens losing its elasticity that starts showing itself as early as at age 40 causing near-reading problems in every person. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s also called old age sight.</p><p>The same protein coagulation proceeds further as age increases until it starts clouding the already hardened lens turning it more and more opaque progressively. It goes on allowing less and less light to pass through it until it completely blocks all light as it turns entirely opaque turning one blind if left untreated. The treatment is a routine surgery replacing the opaque lens with an artificial transparent lens of the same focal length (or an optimized one to take care of a refractive error in the eyesight) in its place.</p><p>The normal procedure of cataract removal simply removes the clouded natural lenses in the eyes and replaces them with artificial clear lenses. These natural lenses which get clouded owing to protein coagulation with age are called natural crystalline lenses. The artificial clear lenses that replace them are called intra ocular lenses. It&#8217;s a very simple 10 minute surgical procedure. And since they cannot fatten like natural lenses, they cannot help in reading near since they are good for distant vision either naturally or through optimizing. Hence they need reading glasses employing presbyopic convex lenses to see near clear. It&#8217;s a rule written in stone in every book of ophthalmology.</p><p>I got my date for the surgery booked and appeared for it on the due date.</p><p>As the surgeon was preparing his tools for the surgery, I said, &#8220;I think I have cracked the code of central fixation of the eyes.&#8221;</p><p>It was a few seconds before lying down on the operation table that I spoke these words.</p><p>He looked at me and replied, &#8220;Right now, I am not listening to you.&#8221;</p><p>He added, &#8220;I am in my pre-surgery trance. We will discuss it&nbsp;once the surgery gets successfully done.&#8221;</p><p>It was a Tuesday. A few days ago, I had met him in his clinic. I had asked him to replace my clouded natural crystalline lenses with intra ocular lenses of the same diopter power.</p><p>&#8220;Why?&#8221; he asked, &#8220;Why wouldn&#8217;t we optimize it for your distant vision if needed so?&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s because I am doing some experiments with the errors of refraction in my eyes. I don&#8217;t want those to get disturbed at all. I believe I have already cured my lifelong myopia with central fixation of the eyes. But even if your optometric machines find there are some traces left, I would prefer to be left with them. I just don&#8217;t want my research to get disturbed by you optimizing my eyes for distant vision,&#8221; I said.</p><p>&#8220;But I find it unethical. We normally optimize it for distant vision with intra ocular lenses. And then we provide you with outside lenses for near vision,&#8221; he retorted.</p><p>&#8220;How does it become unethical? Especially so if I am ready to use outside lenses for distant vision as well, if needed?&#8221; I said.</p><p>He looked at me with a puzzled expression as no one else had ever asked him to do so before.</p><p>I added, &#8220;Moreover, you may optimize my distant vision by changing the diopter number of the intra ocular lenses. But then I will no more be able to see near as clear as I am doing it right now. I see near perfectly well without using any presbyopic lenses at my age.&#8221;</p><p>He immediately interrupted me, &#8220;Don&#8217;t be under the impression that you will see near clear with intra ocular lenses. Right now you are somehow still doing it as you have natural crystalline lenses in your eyes. But intra ocular lenses are just inanimate matter and not animate like your natural crystalline lenses. They will simply not let you see near clear as you cannot manipulate them at all. You will need a pair of near vision glasses after the surgery in any case.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;I will still like to use a pair of outside glasses for correcting my distant vision if needed at all. That&#8217;s in case I still have traces of myopia left in my eyes. But I would never like my distant vision to be optimized within my eyes. It will disturb my research that I am doing through experiments with central fixation to eradicate all errors of refraction. And it&#8217;s not unethical if I prefer outside lenses to inside ones. Am I not right?&#8221; I asked him challenging his notion of ophthalmological ethics.</p><p>My logic convinced him that what I was asking for was not unethical. I just wanted my natural crystalline lenses replaced with intra ocular lenses of exactly the same diopter power as before.</p><p>He agreed. And I took a sigh of relief as it was a question of my entire research getting wasted otherwise.</p><p>All my preliminary tests including ophthalmological and physiological status got done. A day before the surgery, the surgeon informed me that everything was all right. He said my natural crystalline lenses would be replaced with intra ocular lenses of diopter power +18.5. It was exactly the same diopter power that my natural crystalline lenses had.</p><p>On Tuesday, 15 February 2022, my right eye got operated on. As soon as the surgery got completed, the surgeon asked me to open my eyes. As I complied, I immediately saw everything much brighter as well as crystal clear in the field of my vision.</p><p>It was a moment of extreme elation for me. Not optimizing my vision for distance had shown its favorable result.</p><p>The next day, on Wednesday, 16 February 2022, my left eye got operated with similar results.</p><p>As soon as both my eyes got intra ocular lenses inserted in them, I went impatient. I couldn&#8217;t stop my temptation of trying to read near with them. And lo! To the utter astonishment of my surgeon as well as of mine, I was able to read clear near too.</p><p>The next day, on Thursday, 17 February 2022, my vision was officially tested for distance and for near reading. Each eye was individually tested separately. Both of them recorded 20/20 vision for distance and N6 for near reading.</p><p>I asked my surgeon how he would explain this in light of the accommodation process theorized by German ophthalmology. According to this theory, it should have been impossible for me to read near, especially with N6 acuity.</p><p>He simply raised his hands in utter astonishment, saying, &#8220;I just don&#8217;t know how you are seeing near so clear.&#8221;</p><p>It was a miracle, so to say.</p><p>I asked him if I was his first patient not requiring near vision glasses from him after cataract removal surgery. He said I was , indeed, the first one to do so through his entire career and probably the entire history of ophthalmology.</p><p>It was this kind of wholeness that my mind body system had achieved where even the expert dealing with the condition was ignorant about how I had cured myself going against all the theoretical tenets in the discipline of ophthalmology.</p><p>The question was how on earth I was able to see near so clear with inanimate lenses in my eyes.</p><p>There was only one way in which it could be explained scientifically.</p><p>It was that I was able to elongate my eyeball in order to see clear while reading near. And then, I was spontaneously able to turn it back to near spherical while seeing at a distance.</p><p>According to this explanation, the lens has no role to play in the process of accommodation. It&#8217;s the eyeball that effects and controls accommodation.</p><p>Eyes are constructed of eyeballs having two sets of six muscles on each one of them. Two of them are &#8216;oblique&#8217; muscles and the rest four are &#8216;recti&#8217;. The two oblique muscles are there in the shape of a belt around the middle of the eyeball. The muscle above is called &#8216;superior&#8217; and the one below, &#8216;inferior&#8217;.</p><p>The four recti muscles pass along the depth of the eyeball at the top, bottom, left and right sides. They are attached to the sclerotic coat at one end and the bone surrounding the optic nerve at the other. These four muscles at the top, bottom, left and right sides of the eyeball are &#8216;superior&#8217;, &#8216;inferior&#8217;, &#8216;internal&#8217; and &#8216;external&#8217; recti.</p><p>When we contract the oblique muscles, the eyes can easily read near. But when this constriction becomes unconsciously habitual, the eyes cannot see clear at a distance. This condition is called myopia.</p><p>Also, when recti muscles are kept constricted habitually, the eyes are not able to read near clearly. Letters go blurred as in hyperopia and presbyopia, and distorted as in astigmatism.</p><p>When the crown chakra and the third eye chakra are blocked, these are the muscles that get affected the first. Thereafter, the rest of them, including those in the jaws, on the eyebrows, and around temporomandibular joints get affected.</p><p>Surprisingly, there is a synergetic connection between the muscles on the eyeballs and the rest of muscles in the skull! The major ones among them are the muscles named frontalis, temporalis and occipitalis. By relaxing these three muscles via maneuvering the mandible, we can relax the muscles on the eyeballs as well. Once that is done, we can achieve full voluntary control on the entire process of accommodation. This is how we can achieve central fixation of the eyes and get rid of all the errors of refraction.</p><p>Thus wholeness follows the patterns of healing that have a capacity to kill multiple birds with one stone. It was central fixation with its 3 variants namely central fixation of the eyes, central fixation of the body and central fixation of the mind that cured my eyesight and my autoimmune rheumatoid arthritis as well as enabled me to challenge the theoretical tenets of ophthalmology regarding near vision complication after my cataract surgery. As I mentioned before, it had turned me absolutely relaxed in my mind and passionately energetic with experiencing state of flow and heightened state of energy in my spiritual self even before I was able to awaken my kundalini.</p><p>What more would I ask for in order to lead a fulfilling life that filled me with joyful and passionate surges of life energy while taking every single breath in and throwing it out! My entire journey had created a personal heaven for me in my day-to-day life.</p><p>I can vouch it for others that they can create a personal heaven for themselves as well in their life if they follow the codes and apply them to their body too. After all we all have a similar biology, a similar psychology and a similar spirituality that can easily be activated.</p><p>You can do it yourself if you literally follow the codes I have discussed about in this memoir.

journey to understanding the chakra discipline mentioning 7 chakras in our body after I coincidentally healed my lifelong <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myopia">myopia</a> at age 53 instantly, in the year 2004.</p><p>In fact, I had always keenly desired for such a miracle to happen since my early childhood. I had even tried my best to heal my myopia with the help of naturopathy, Bates method, meditation, yoga and any other way that I had thought could have helped. And I had miserably failed every single time.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.laadiojas.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading SKELETAL LEAP: The Mind Body Connection!

My curiosity was indomitable. I decided to do my research on the miracle that had blessed me with this gift.</p><p>It took me quite a few years while I scoured through literature on whichever topics I suspected I could find an answer. These included ophthalmology, meditation, naturopathy, yoga and many more but none could explain the miracle I had stumbled upon.</p><p>Then I got a reference of an ancient system named chakra discipline that mentioned 7 chakras in its scriptures. As one of these 7 chakras was named third eye chakra, it attracted me intuitively. I felt it could help me in my pursuit to know what my eyes had gone through.</p><p>But it being an esoteric system, it talked about their existence in ethereal body alone. This disappointed me as it turned the entire discipline into mysticism without any clear explanation of its procedures.</p><p>Then I found another discipline that talked about muscular armors founded by Wilhelm Reich who had segmented them as <strong>ocular (eye-related)</strong>, <strong>oral</strong>, <strong>cervical</strong>, <strong>thoracic</strong>, <strong>diaphragmatic</strong>, <strong>abdominal</strong> and <strong>pelvic</strong>.</p><p>Surprisingly, they were the same segments that chakra discipline also segmented its 7 chakras in, though in the ethereal body and not in the physical one.</p><p>It gave me a ray of hope that chakras could also (or actually) be existing there in the physical body just like the muscular armors were.</p><h2>My Story of Mastering Chakra

Internet, which is just not true.</p><p>7 Chakras are not the centers of energy; they are rather the suckers of it. They suck energy by offering resistance to the uninhibited flow of cosmic energy named kundalini in its route from the root chakra where it enters the body to move up to the crown chakra where it leaves the body to enter it through the root chakra again.</p><p>It could equally be the physical bio-energy known as gut to brain communication in its route from the gut (located in the vicinity of the root chakra) where it enters from the organs in the gut to move up to the brain (located in the vicinity of the crown chakra). &nbsp;</p><p>It is something like electricity flowing continuously from the source to the appliance and then back to the source again in order to make the next round continuously. But if the circuit is broken somewhere on its way, it stops flowing through it whether it is kundalini via sushumna nadi or else the communication via the vagus nerve.</p><p>Same is the case with the cosmic energy aka kundalini or the bio-energy aka neural communication responsible to keep life running energetically, which gets blocked if it passes through any one of the 7 chakras that is closed. It starts revolving there in circles rather than flowing linearly to the location of the next chakra. That&#8217;s why these locations are called chakras meaning circles in English.</p><p>Even a closed chakra cannot fully block the flow of kundalini or else the communication between the gut and the brain via vagus nerve, and a certain amount of it leaks up to carry on its journey to the location of the next chakra although its energy is seriously reduced in the process. Hence the person concerned is left with less of life energy at his/her disposal. If kundalini totally stops making rounds of the body, the person simply goes dead.</p><p>So, when people talk of awakening kundalini or re-establishing gut to brain communication, they think they are opening up a new flow of energy in the body. That&#8217;s not true. Kundalini is always flowing through the body. The only problem with its flow is that it seriously gets weakened owing to the closed chakras on its way.&nbsp;</p><p>We need to strengthen it again for which we need to open as many of these 7 chakras as are lying closed in their locations.</p><p><strong>What is exactly meant by chakras being closed or else open?</strong></p><p>Chakras are chakras, only when they are closed. Open chakras are no chakras at all.</p><p>When chakras are there, they are villains more than heroes. And we should take care to paint them in the right perspective!</p><p><strong>What on earth initiated the existence of these chakras in the human body in the first place?</strong></p><p>We, Homo sapiens, are the ones that have collectively developed chakras (which automatically means they are closed, remember!).</p><p>It all started with the greatest revolution in the domain of evolution when our ancestors stood on their two feet instead of four around 4-7 million years ago.</p><p>Prior to that, they moved on their four legs like all other mammals like them did. </p><p>As they did so, the entire orientation of their skeleton changed from horizontal to vertical.</p><p>Hence it needed to evolve in an entirely different way moving forward from there.</p><p>The vertebral column and the skull which were oriented horizontally before turned vertical now.</p><p>As this happened, gravity started pulling them <strong>down</strong> rather than staying <strong>up</strong> way more than before, especially on their joints.</p><p>Also as a result of bipedal evolution, with an extremely fast evolutionary development of brain, new emotions came into existence both, negative as well as positive. They joined hands with gravity in tucking the same joints <strong>in </strong>rather than staying <strong>out</strong>.</p><p>It resulted in the skeleton getting dropped <strong>down</strong> and tucked <strong>in</strong> distorting the double S shape of the vertebral column distorting the main nerves passing through it. The vagus nerve was the biggest victim of this distortion through getting its anatomy distorted semi-permanently.</p><p>The new vertical orientation required an abundance of life-energy to fight against the onslaughts of gravity and negative effects of emotions whether they were negative or else positive. They were just not natural.</p><p>The stress of life, both biological and psychological, would often rob them of this abundance of energy, falling them victims to house these distortions in the joints of their skeletons.</p><p>An affected anatomy causes an affected physiology (or neurology) obviously.</p><p>It happened at 7 different locations in the vertebral column. And these 7 different locations are actually the 7 chakras of today.  </p><p>People have shrouded this topic in obscurity and mystery making it an esoteric discipline simply to hide their ignorance about it as well as to make it financially profitable to them.</p><p>The fact is that a closed chakra simply means a rigidified group of muscles and nerves surrounding a group of internal organs working physiologically in connection with one another. As the rigidified muscles exert a constant pressure on them, they are no more able to carry on their physiological tasks with their full efficiency.</p><p>That&#8217;s what the reason of energy getting obstructed at those points is by going around in circles in order to make an attempt to resolve the physiological issues going on in the area.</p><p>The energy flow gets hampered resulting in turning the person much less energetic than one can ideally be.</p><p>The next question that arises is why after all these groups of muscles go rigidified in the first instance.</p><p>A closed <strong>root chakra</strong> disrupts the anatomy and hence the physiology of the pelvis, hip and the lower limb disrupting pelvic, hip, knee, ankle and subtalar joints with interphalangeal articulations of feet and associated muscles, nerves and arteries.</p><p>A closed <strong>sacral chakra</strong> comes into existence through dropping the sacral vertebrae down and thus distorting the lower S&nbsp; of the double S shape of vertebral column.</p><p><strong>Solar plexus chakra</strong> comes into existence by dropping L1 vertebra and tucking it in, compressing thoracic diaphragm throughout its length.</p><p>Positioning Pectoralis major and Pectoralis minor muscles contracted turns the <strong>heart chakra</strong> closed.</p><p>When we keep the deltoid muscle postured like in action by the anterior (clavicular) or intermediate (acromial) fibers, it closes the <strong>throat chakra</strong>.</p><p>Keeping frontalis and temporalis muscles contracted close the <strong>third eye chakra</strong> and the <strong>crown chakra</strong> successively.</p><p>It all starts with stress in the mind perceiving a danger from some corner to any of its concerns.</p><p>Why do some people have more stress whereas some others have much less of it with another few not having it at all?</p><p>Stressors posing as dangers to the mind&#8217;s concerns are more or less same for everyone given that they all are living under the similar socio-economic conditions.</p><p>It all deals with the psychology of mind giving birth to all the concerns it has.</p><p>Stress doesn&#8217;t lie with the outside stressors; it rather lies with the concerns of the mind that feel threatened by this problem or that.</p><p>When one feels threatened, one tends to go defensive not only in the mind but also in the body in order to face the onslaught of the threat.</p><p>Certain groups of muscles contract themselves in order to defend the body and certain other groups of muscles get contracted in order to attack if need be.</p><p>Since the stressors are perennial exactly like the concerns of the mind are, the muscles keep continuing their contracted stances indefinitely.</p><p>With the passage of time these muscles get fixated in their contracted stances resulting in sets of rigidified muscle groups all along the body.</p><p>It affects the body posture in a way that turns it in and drops it down in the areas where these 7 chakras are located. The body assumes a posture that is a dropped-down and turned-in posture rather than a risen-up and turned-out posture that it naturally is designed to be.</p><p>It further affects the physiology of the body and the psychology of the mind resulting in various lifestyle diseases in the long run.</p><p>On top of it, it&#8217;s not only your personal health that gets negatively affected by these compromised chakras.</p><p>Since society is an aligned group of individuals, individual body chakras also turn into collective sociocultural chakras.</p><p>It further affects the sociology of the society along with social institutions and their value systems. They effect all social institutions including money, business, politics, marriage, sports, countries, value systems, education, specializations and religion. Their corruption reflects in all the social ills that you see all around you on the planet.</p><p>The life energy further takes a dip strengthening the harmful effects of 7 chakras on our life and your life along with our social institutions too.</p><p>No one is spared.</p><p>What&#8217;s the way out to open all these 7 chakras in one single go in order to do away with all these lifestyle diseases and embrace health in our individual bodies and our collective bodies, i.e., the human society?</p><p>Unluckily, these 7 chakras have their harmful affects on your life almost permanently, individually as well as institutionally.</p><p>Let&#8217;s examine what all they do to us, to you and to your life...</p><h2>How 7 Chakras Harm Your Life</h2><div

not.</p><p>Don&#8217;t take me wrong. I am very happy with my ordinary life at my personal level the way I live.</p><p>You could also be very happy with your life at your personal level the way you live.&nbsp;</p><p>What I am not happy with is the way we ALL live in relationship with one another. What I am not happy with is how much better I could have lived with all the people around me living as good a life as their desire along with their potential to live it was.</p><p>Let me clarify.</p><p>You are born with an almost unconditioned mindset. You learn whatever your environment teaches you in your life. You are also born with your instinctual pattern that determines what your drives are going to be like.</p><p>your environment comprises mainly the people surrounding you. They overtly or covertly keep teaching you as you keep growing older and bigger in your life.</p><p>They teach you wrong, simply because they had learned it wrong too.</p><p>They teach you everything that goes contrary to your instinctual pattern.</p><p>Your life loses authenticity.&nbsp;</p><p>They teach you to win even if at the cost of your fellow-beings. Your instinctual pattern drives you to play with them.</p><p>Your life turns competitive and stressful.</p><p>They teach you to keep safe. Your instinctual pattern drives you to explore adventures.</p><p>Your life turns robotic and fearful.</p><p>They teach you to follow protocols. Your instinctual pattern drives you to be spontaneous.</p><p>Your life turns artificial.</p><p>They teach you to control and hide impulses. Your instinctual pattern drives you to express them.</p><p>Your life turns secretive.</p><p>They teach you to shun your curiosity and follow the regimen. Your instinctual pattern drives you to go curious and explore.</p><p>Your life turns conforming like dead wo/men walking.</p><p>They teach you to be efficient and utile. Your instinctual pattern drives you to be creative even if at the cost of efficiency and utility.</p><p>Your life loses passion of living.</p><p>They teach you to be honest. Your instinctual pattern drives you to be authentic whether it is honest or dishonest.</p><p>Your life turns moralistic.</p><p>They teach you to be a part of the rat race. Your instinctual pattern drives you to run for fun.</p><p>Your life loses the fun of living.</p><p>They teach you to be successful. Your instinctual pattern drives you to be meaningful.</p><p>Your life turns corrupt in order to be successful at any cost.</p><p>They teach you to believe. Your instinctual pattern drives you to ask.</p><p>Your life turns into a follower instead of being your own leader.&nbsp;</p><p>They teach you to conform. Your instinctual pattern drives you to question everything as you turn adult.</p><p>Your life never lets you stand on your own feet.</p><p>They try their best to turn you into absolutely predictable virtual robots. Your instinctual pattern drives you to be unpredictably spontaneous real humans.</p><p>The two sides of the forces contradict with each other and fragment your mind-body system in two antagonistic fragments, the two always keeping fighting with each other all through your life.</p><p>It keeps generating stress even when you are not doing anything stressful in your life.</p><p>It defeats you. And it defeats your life.</p><p>It&#8217;s not only about you and your life. It&#8217;s true about all of us. &nbsp;</p><p>It has been a chain of mistakes that we have kept repeating through the centuries. It has almost become a vicious circle now.</p><p>As it stands today, closed sociocultural chakras have blocked the human energy right at the lowest level of Maslow&#8217;s Hierarchy of Needs, namely physiological and safety needs.</p><p>Where did we go wrong in the very beginning and why?</p><p>Fear made us compromise when we felt helpless, in order to preserve our species against the attacks from the cruelties of nature.</p><p>In the course of time, we were able to preserve our species, but fear didn&#8217;t leave us free. It rather turned into greed, aggression, ambition and the desire to control.</p><p>We turned into the most dangerous animal on the planet, dangerous not only for the other species but for our own as well.</p><p>We killed our own fellow-beings in the name of war and called it patriotism.</p><p>We replaced our instinctual drives with narrow emotions. Emotions always serve narrow interests. They can never be as wide as instinctual drives.</p><p>Today we have become victims to our own aggression against our own self. Our minds are suppressing their own instinctual drives. And they are doing it in the name and for the sake of the most elusive concept called progress.</p><p>We have become obsessed with eccentric progress, unable to realize that we have gone regressed in our minds and our drives which could have paved our path to organic progress much ethical and insightful.</p><p>We have almost reached the edge of the point of no return from the harmful effects of human-induced climate change.</p><p>We over-exploited our planet&#8217;s resources, without giving it back what we took from it. Earth wants to take everything back now.</p><p>We have become victims to keep doing violence on our own self all through our life.</p><p>That&#8217;s the way we live our life courtesy our body chakras as well as our sociocultual chakras.</p><p>That&#8217;s the way you live your life courtesy your body chakras as well as your sociocultual chakras.</p><p>We are doomed to live with them.</p><p>There must be a way out somehow!</p><p>What do YOU think?</p><p>We will discuss further about it and other important aspects of our life and our society in our next posts here. </p><p>You may also like...</p><p><a href="https://www.laadiojas.com/p/introducing-skeletal-leap-a-living-adventure">Introducing SKELETAL LEAP: A Living Adventure</a></p><p><a href="https://www.laadiojas.com/p/sovereign-remedy">Cracking The Hidden Codes Of An Instant Sovereign Remedy</a></p><p><a href="https://www.laadiojas.com/p/visual-clarity-and-visual-acuity">Unlocking the SECRET of Instant Visual Clarity &amp; Visual Acuity</a></p><p><a href="https://www.laadiojas.com/p/balancing-the-chakras">Unlocking The Secrets of Balancing The Chakras</a></p><p><a href="https://www.laadiojas.com/p/root-chakra-opening-and-healing">Root Chakra Opening and Healing - Surprising Secrets Unearthed!</a></p><p><a href="https://www.laadiojas.com/p/opening-sacral-chakra-chakra-healing">Opening Sacral Chakra: Chakra Healing Secrets That REALLY Work</a></p><p><a href="https://www.laadiojas.com/p/new-solar-plexus-chakra-healing-tips">New Solar Plexus Chakra Healing Tips That Keep It Permanently Open!</a></p><p><a href="https://www.laadiojas.com/p/how-to-unblock-your-heart-chakra-healing">How To Unblock Your Heart Chakra Healing Your Love Life Compassionately!</a></p><p><a href="https://www.laadiojas.com/p/unblock-your-throat-chakra-healing">Unblock Your Throat Chakra Healing Your Voice!</a></p><p><a href="https://www.laadiojas.com/p/third-eye-opening-to-crown-chakra-healing">Third Eye Opening to Crown Chakra Healing in One Single Go Safely!</a></p><p><a href="https://www.laadiojas.com/p/spontaneous-kundalini-awakening-through-breathwork">READY for SPONTANEOUS KUNDALINI AWAKENING through BREATHWORK Technique?</a></p><p><a href="https://www.laadiojas.com/p/dynamic-core-stability">Dynamic Core Stability Gets You READY to Challenge Masters!</a></p><p><a href="https://www.laadiojas.com/p/empty-your-mind">Empty Your Mind with This Simple Procedure Right Now!</a></p><p><a href="https://www.laadiojas.com/p/brain-lift-breathwork-gut-brain-connection">Brain Lift with Guided Breathwork Establishing Gut Brain Connection Discovered!</a></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.laadiojas.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading SKELETAL LEAP: The Mind Body Connection!

do we truly understand its potential? </p><p>In the latest episode of Skeletal Leap, host Laadi Ojas delves deep into the intricacies of meditation, revealing how it can lead to instant brain activation and a profound clarity of vision. </p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor"

However, he argues that true meditation extends beyond those moments of stillness. It requires an active engagement with the present, a dynamic state of being that can be integrated into our daily lives. </p><p>Throughout the episode, Ojas shares his personal experiences of how he cracked the code to brain activation. He emphasizes the importance of emptying the mind to allow for pure awareness. </p><p>This process involves recognizing the habitual chatter of thoughts that often distract us from the present moment. By surrendering control to our awareness, we can unlock a new level of perception, one that allows us to experience life with fresh eyes. </p><p>The conversation also touches on the significance of chakras and breath in meditation. Ojas explains how extending the duration of exhalation while keeping all chakras open can lead to surges of energy that rejuvenate the nervous system. This practice not only enhances mental clarity but also fosters a sense of joy and vitality. </p><p>Moreover, Ojas challenges the notion that meditation is merely a tool for relaxation. He argues that true relaxation comes from a state of being where the mind is empty and free from conditioning. Instead of seeking temporary relief, we should aim for a continuous meditative state that permeates our actions throughout the day. </p><p>Listeners are encouraged to explore how they can bring mindfulness into their everyday activities, whether it&#8217;s savoring a meal or engaging in conversation. Ojas illustrates this through relatable examples, demonstrating that the essence of meditation lies in our ability to be fully present in every moment. </p><p>As the episode concludes, Ojas leaves us with a powerful message: meditation should not be confined to a specific time or place. Instead, it should become an integral part of our lives, allowing us to experience each moment with a renewed sense of awareness. </p><p>If you&#8217;re ready to embark on a journey towards deeper understanding and transformation through meditation, don&#8217;t miss this enlightening episode of Skeletal Leap.

Transcript</h2><p><strong>It looks like people have such great faith in meditation that they feel it can provide them with all kinds of things they seek&#8230;</strong></p><p>My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to &#8220;Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure&#8221;. Skeletal Leap transforms one&#8217;s life into a personal heaven.</p><p>Today&#8217;s episode will tell you how I cracked the code of instant brain activation and coming to here and now.</p><p>As and when I sent surges of energy up my spine through extending the duration of exhalation with all my chakras open, it always extended the limits of crown chakra opening renewing itself with every single surge. It felt like tearing my eyelids apart enhancing the clarity of vision more and more as it renewed itself with every new surge. This clearer perception every time coincided with stopping the train of thoughts resulting in emptying the mind progressively. This felt like establishing an inverse relationship between the clarity of vision and the control of the chattering mind on my pure awareness.</p><p>As the mind progressively surrendered its control, I started feeling a little uneasy like one feels when stepping out of one&#8217;s comfort zone. It was a feeling of being left alone on my own. Actually it was my mind that was feeling uneasy as a result of progressively surrendering its control over my pure awareness. It wasn&#8217;t liking the entire procedure but it couldn&#8217;t stop it since it was initiated in the body and not in the mind. It felt helpless and was forced to limit its boundaries at being purely aware of reviewing the drive of instincts alone. As I was currently focused at seeing alone, the awareness had entirely centered itself on reviewing the drive of perceiving the visual information in front of my eyes. I was just perceiving and not doing anything else inside me. And this action of mine was clarifying my vision way more than ever.</p><p>It suddenly occurred to me that exactly the same would happen if I focused on any perception other that vision as well. It could be the perception of sound or smell or taste or else touch as well. It was certainly an insight coming direct from the brain. Suddenly another insight followed the earlier one saying when the mind surrenders its control over pure awareness, the brain takes over the charge independently and starts thinking on the spur of the moment without getting obstructed by the habitual train of thoughts disturbing its focus on thinking here and now.</p><p>The habitual train of thoughts is not only fragmented in itself disturbing the focus but also slows down the entire thinking process often ending up as wrong decisions and consequently wrong actions taken. When brain thinks in its independent capacity, it&#8217;s instantaneous as there is no train of fragmented thoughts disturbing its spontaneous focus. And it&#8217;s so speedy that despite getting registered in its memory cells, it doesn&#8217;t give the awareness of mind a chance to turn it into an emotional or moralistic thought and then keep chewing the cud of it.</p><p>This was how and why the mechanic miraculously saving the child in my story in episode 11 and I climbing up the high rock right above the gushing flow of the river below in my story in episode 13 had just forgotten how he and I were able to do what we did.</p><p><strong>This is what the ultimate aim of meditation is.</strong></p><p>Meditation has been revered as a highly esteemed practice in human culture ever since human society took shape with sociocultural evolution. Lately, it has almost become a fashionable trend among the cultural elite for their wellness concerns. On the other hand, people having a deep faith in spiritualism follow it as a spiritual practice. Thirdly, people with different kinds of lifestyle diseases are also advised to sit in meditation by their healthcare specialists.</p><p>The modus operandi of such meditations has mostly been to sit in an erect posture with eyes closed for a certain duration of time. During this period, the meditators are supposed to do something specific with their mind. What that something is widely varies depending on what they want it to achieve for them.</p><p>It looks like people have such great faith in meditation that they feel it can provide them with all kinds of things they seek.</p><p>According to a recent study, out of people&#8217;s top 50 concerns, 16 fall under the category of wellness. 5 of them fall under the category of religion and spirituality. 2 of them fall under material gains. A whopping 27 fall under the category health and healing, 14 of them being mental health issues. Hence people&#8217;s priorities for what they expect out of meditation are in the following order&#8230;</p><ol><li><p><strong>Health and healing</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Wellness</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Religion and spirituality</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Material gains</strong></p></li></ol><p>How do we think meditation would be able to do what we want it to do for us? And, that too, just by doing it for an hour a day? For the remaining twenty-three hours, we are again going back to our unhealthy state of mind-body disposition.</p><p>Sitting for meditation for an hour or so has just become a fashion to satisfy ourselves of doing something good. It rather strengthens our ego further.</p><p>Also, what exactly do we do when we sit in meditation with our eyes closed? Here are a few things that people are guided to do in the name of meditation. We chant mantras or affirmations, count beads or breaths, concentrate on a thought or imagine a sequence. Such practices just numb the mind, sending it to a kind of stupor. It makes us feel as if we have become relaxed. But that&#8217;s not what relaxation means. A lethargic mind is not a relaxed mind.</p><p>Mindfulness meditation sounds to be a better alternative at relaxing the mind. Mindfulness means trying to focus on being aware of the train of thoughts without judging them, or else trying to focus mind on a particular sensation, a particular thought, a particular thing or a particular action. People sit down in a cross-legged posture and start making all efforts to channelize their mind.</p><p>But mind, as such, is a fidgety child! It doesn&#8217;t pay much heed to our efforts. In fact, it loves to keep jumping from one casual thought, thing or action to another, like a monkey.</p><p>We try to discipline it with our determination. It doesn&#8217;t say no. But then it stealthily slips away from under our attentive control to some of its other casual concerns. We always need to keep bringing it back to the track that we have decided for it to move along.</p><p>But the problem is it gets bored over there. The very nature of the mind is to keep jumping from one concern to another. And the reason is that it is full of concerns, not only consciously but unconsciously as well. It tends to keep scanning everything&nbsp;within its consciousness and even underneath it, unconsciously.</p><p>It&#8217;s to this point that mindfulness, at its best, can take us up. We need to continuously keep exerting the pressure of our determination on the mind to tame it into behaving the way we want it to.</p><p>But then, who is this &#8216;we&#8217; that is making all this Herculean effort to tame our mind? Isn&#8217;t it a part of our mind alone?</p><p>Anyway, even if we are able to relax the mind for an hour or so, it&#8217;s not of much use. We are again going to fall back into the same unhealthy disposition. How do we expect it to do permanent good to us?</p><p>On top of it, the very idea of relaxing the mind is contradictory in itself. Mind in itself is the name of an entity full of contradictions, thereby fragmenting itself, and hence, our &#8216;self&#8217;. The fragmented parts keep fighting with one another making a noise. That&#8217;s what is called a chattering mind. The techniques mentioned above try to calm it down through turning it numb or through exerting pressure as in mindfulness meditation.</p><p>But the only rational way to stop its chattering is emptying its content. That&#8217;s what we call emptying the mind. We have already discussed it in its operative details in the last episode. And that&#8217;s what meditation must do if it&#8217;s to do any real good to us.</p><p>At the same time, any such real good should preferably not be limited to a limited duration of time. It should happen twenty-four hours a day, three-hundred and sixty-five days a year.</p><p>That simply means we should try to replace sitting at one place for meditation with being dynamically meditative in whatever we do, all day long. And that can only be done by making it our first nature.</p><p>Once it happens so, we no more need to keep sitting for meditation everyday. We simply need to live in a meditative state all day long. Once we have learnt how to do this, we need to say goodbye to the idea of &#8216;sitting in meditation&#8217;.</p><p>We need to empty our mind once and&nbsp; for all. This will mean that we can be meditative even while talking to someone, smoking a cigarette, sipping our wine or while making love, for that matter.</p><p><strong>How can we turn whatever we are doing at the moment into a meditation?</strong></p><p>It&#8217;s possible when we keep enjoying what we are doing every single moment of it. It makes us fully involved into the action with total awareness as opposed to getting indulged into it habitually.</p><p>Suppose we are doing something that we like doing a lot. There is every risk of getting indulged into its action by emotionally getting attached to it. Let&#8217;s take an example of eating our most favorite dish. Even before we start tasting it, we have already conditioned our taste glands to taste something familiar that we like. And when we taste it, we don&#8217;t really taste it right then, we just taste our past perception of it. We live our mental past while chronologically being in the present. That&#8217;s how the mind affects the brain&#8217;s perception by falsely limiting it to a perception of the past.</p><p>Now let&#8217;s play a game. In the same scenario, let&#8217;s pretend we have lost our memory. We no more remember that it&#8217;s our favorite dish nor do we remember its taste. It depends on how good an actor we are, being our own audience at the same time. Let&#8217;s start eating it now. We would effectively be tasting it for the first time in our life.</p><p>If we are unable to feign loss of memory, let&#8217;s take our first bite slowly, tasting it in its totality. This, too, will effectively result in the feeling that we are tasting it for the first time in our life.</p><p>Do we see a parallel between the two actions, i.e, pretending to have lost our memory and performing an action slowly in its totality? The result is the same in both scenarios. When we do something slow enough to do it in its totality, we have already kept our emotional mind aside which is akin to keeping our emotional memory aside.</p><p>And we taste the dish like we are tasting it for the first time in our life. This amounts to tasting it in the present moment. Liking or not liking it no more remains important. What matters is tasting it afresh with all its passion and joy or else pain (if so ever).</p><p>Let&#8217;s repeat the same experiment, this time with a dish that we dislike the most. As we slowly taste it afresh in its totality, disliking it no more remains important. What matters is tasting it afresh with all its passion and pain or else joy (if so ever).</p><p>When we perform an action slowly enough to be able to do it in its totality, we are no more governed by our mind. It&#8217;s our nervous system that takes over. And our nervous system is way more intelligent than our mind. It does things with passion and joy or else pain. All emotional strings attached to the past experiences of liking or disliking simply vanish into thin air. And the nervous system then performs actions without ever emotionally liking or disliking them at all.</p><p>I don&#8217;t mean to say that slowness of an action is the only thing that leads to its totality. At times, it&#8217;s just the opposite that works. For example, running to save a child from being overrun by a speeding car works totally when done miraculously fast.</p><p>However, these same types of slow or fast actions, when non-meditative,&nbsp;are either lethargic or impulsive, performing those actions either extra-slow or extra-fast. That&#8217;s when we call them mental lethargy or mental hurry. The key difference is that when the brain is in charge in an independent capacity, which is what I&#8217;m calling the truly meditative state, the speed of the action turns optimum; it is neither extra-slow nor extra-fast. The same happens to the quality of the action as well.</p><p>Mental lethargy and mental hurry are modern-day epidemics. The two are solely responsible for human actions being non-meditative.</p><p>It doesn&#8217;t have to be that way because, as we just saw, being meditative all through the day in whatever we do is no rocket science.</p><p>And when we enter that meditative state, we no longer need to &#8216;sit&#8217; for time-limited meditation. The very things we do, turn meditative. The mind no longer controls the brain and is restricted to playing the role that it has been designed to play.</p><p>When the brain performs an action in its totality, it does register it in its memory cells. But that memory is not accessible to the mind. That&#8217;s how the mind gets trained to remain empty and keep doing its job of comprehending reality quietly.</p><p>A meditative action performed in its totality with passion and joy leaves no desire for recreating it in the future. Similarly, a meditative action performed in its totality with passion along with pain leaves no fear of avoiding it in the future. When a similar situation does arise in the future, they become entirely new actions performed afresh right then. In both cases, no conditioning of the mind occurs, thus always keeping it empty.</p><p>But old habits die hard. Our already conditioned minds pose a tough challenge to being emptied out in the beginning. For example, when we go out in the scorching sun in a hot climate, our mind contracts our facial muscles. That&#8217;s how it may turn into an attack of tension headache for a certain duration of time. The same happens in a snowy blizzard in a cold climate. All these are conditioned reactions of a conditioned mind.</p><p>Let&#8217;s take another example to address this problem. Suppose we got an attack of tension headache. When it occurs, we generally tend to avoid it. But it keeps forcing its pain not only in our head but also on our psyche.</p><p>That&#8217;s how trying to avoid it doubles its uneasiness on our system.</p><p>The meditative way to deal with it is to stop trying to avoid it. Let us rather accept it by sensing it in its totality. That&#8217;s what people never do in general.</p><p><strong>What happens next?</strong></p><p>As soon as the mind is sidelined by such passionate acceptance, the brain takes charge. We are left with sensing the said issue in its totality with passion and pain. The nervous system swiftly assesses something wrong in the head. It also recognizes the source of the pain in the muscles of the head being pushed down and tucked in. As soon as the neural signals direct the contracted muscles to relax, pain vanishes leaving our senses with passion and joy instead of passion and pain.</p><p>The mind remains empty until it gets afflicted by another habitual pattern of its conditionings.</p><p>This way, through being meditative all along, we can go on emptying our mind of its conditionings one by one.</p><p>But as we have seen earlier, there is a much better way out. That way is through opening all the chakras via re-posturing and then addressing the extended exhalation of breath. The said impeccable procedure infuses every single moment with passion and joy, with action or without it. That&#8217;s because breathing becomes an effortless action turning all other actions meditative as well, as and when they take place.</p><p>Activating the brain for addressing everything here and now this way rewards us with a surge of inexplicable joy with every single breath. Every single extended exhalation rejuvenates the entire nervous system by keeping the mind emptied for its duration.</p><p>Thanks for listening to this episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!

Simple Procedure Right Now!&#8220;, Laadi Ojas takes us on a profound journey into the intricacies of the mind and its relationship with the brain. </p><p>He presents a compelling argument that the mind is not merely a byproduct of brain activity, but a distinct entity that plays a crucial role in shaping our experiences and perceptions. </p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor"

focus and review information processed by the brain. </p><p>He explains that while the brain is tangible and can be monitored, the mind operates in a more abstract realm, influencing our thoughts, emotions, and instincts. </p><p>This distinction is vital for understanding how we navigate our lives and the challenges we face. </p><p>Throughout the episode, Ojas explores the various instincts that drive human behavior, such as hunger, curiosity, and the drive for interaction. </p><p>He emphasizes that these instincts can often be overshadowed by emotions and morals, which may hinder our ability to live fully and joyfully. </p><p>The mind&#8217;s tendency to hold on to unresolved issues creates a state of internal conflict, leading to feelings of fatigue and dissatisfaction. </p><p>One of the most striking revelations in this episode is Ojas&#8217;s assertion that true joy arises from satiating our instincts rather than chasing fleeting emotions like happiness. </p><p>He argues that while happiness is often seen as a positive state, it is merely a temporary facade that distracts us from experiencing genuine joy. </p><p>Instead, he advocates for a deeper understanding of our instincts and urges us to embrace them without fear. </p><p>Ojas also touches on the idea of emptiness in the mind, which can be achieved through practices such as meditation and skydiving. </p><p>He shares a personal anecdote about a transformative experience during a trek in the Himalayas, where he discovered the power of an empty mind in overcoming challenges. </p><p>This state of emptiness allows for spontaneous action and clarity, free from the burdens of overthinking. </p><p>As the episode progresses, Ojas provides practical insights on how to cultivate this state of mind and emphasizes the importance of recognizing and honoring our instincts. </p><p>By aligning our awareness with our true drives, we can experience life more fully and authentically. </p><p>This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in personal growth, mindfulness, and the complex interplay between the mind and body. </p><p>Join Laadi Ojas as he unravels the secrets to achieving instant central fixation of the mind and transforming your life into a personal heaven. </p><p>Don&#8217;t miss out on this enlightening conversation that promises to inspire and empower you on your journey of self-discovery.</p><h2>Empty Your Mind with This Simple Procedure Right Now! - Subscribe to Skeletal Leap Newsletter</h2><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

brain. It never views. It only re-views what the brain has already viewed and acted upon.</p><p>My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to &#8220;Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure&#8221;. Skeletal Leap transforms one&#8217;s life into a personal heaven. </p><p>Today&#8217;s episode will tell you how I cracked the code of instant central fixation of the mind.</p><p>Once I had successfully cracked the code of instant central fixation of the body, I obviously moved on to cracking the code of instant central fixation of the mind. It was as important as other central fixations if not more since the mind seemed to affect every single domain of human life negatively or else positively.</p><p>But the very first thing that I got confronted with was ascertaining what exactly it meant. Central fixation of the eyes and central fixation of the body had very clear tangible definitions that started them. Central fixation of the eyes had meant seeing the best what our eyes were looking at and they did so through making the image of the object being seen exactly at fovea on retina. Central fixation of the body had meant doing the best what our body did while moving or even without moving in space through centering itself at its core two inches below the navel and keeping it vertically in line with the sole of the feet.</p><p>But how would I define central fixation of the mind in a tangible manner without going abstract about it?</p><p>First of all, I needed to define what exactly the word &#8216;mind&#8217; meant. It was certainly different from brain which we could very tangibly locate inside the skull. Every single thing that went inside it, though complex yet could exactly be monitored. But that was not the case with mind.</p><p>I kept wondering what mind exactly meant. I realized that the human linguistic culture all over the world had introduced this entity as a concept to the intellectual perception of our species en masse. And that too, without ever clearly defining what it exactly was!</p><p>Was it a colloquial term given to awareness, the most basic tenet of life? If yes, as it sounded quite plausible, what were its contents? As I tried to scan them all, it immediately struck to me that I couldn&#8217;t have scanned the contents of my brain in a likewise manner including all its processes that made it work. Although the brain was a tangible organ with tangible working processes, it couldn&#8217;t be the part of awareness. Hence, the brain and the mind ought to be two different entities.</p><p>While scanning the mind (actually my mind was scanning itself!), I first of all realized that it was aware of its awareness. But I was up to scanning what the contents of its awareness that it was aware of were. The first thing I found there was the awareness of thoughts. There were all kinds of them in its awareness. The thoughts it liked, the thoughts it disliked, the thoughts it feared, the thoughts it desired to turn into actions, the thoughts it revered, the thoughts it repulsed and the thoughts it just cognized without obviously feeling anything about them! There were so many of them there that I wouldn&#8217;t be able to count if I decided so.</p><p>Was my mind thinking them right there and then perceiving them as thoughts? But if it was thinking them right there and then, what was the brain doing sitting idle doing nothing? Also, thinking was supposed to be a process inside the brain and not inside the mind. In any case, the mind would never have initiated thinking what it disliked, feared or repulsed without any sensual perception of them. Moreover, it couldn&#8217;t even perceive anything on its own as the perception was initiated through the sense organs taking their information direct to the brain, not to the mind.</p><p>It meant that the thoughts that it disliked, feared or repulsed were already sitting there inside it along with the thoughts that it liked, desired to turn into actions, or revered and also the ones that it just cognized without obviously feeling anything about them. What were they doing sitting over there?</p><p>They were keeping the mind busy. But why did they need to keep it busy? Why didn&#8217;t they disappear so that the mind could take some rest? I very well perceived that they were tiring the mind. Suddenly it occurred to me that they needed to settle their scores and that was why they weren&#8217;t letting my mind take a rest.</p><p>Suddenly I felt hungry. I walked over to the kitchen and picked up some snacks to munch. Then again I started scanning my mind. Suddenly it again occurred to me that there was no thought of being hungry any more.</p><p>It was a discovery. Whatever had happened &#8216;suddenly&#8217; during the past few seconds, wasn&#8217;t a part of my thought process keeping my mind busy. It just happened and immediately got resolved. Something just occurring to me suddenly was an insight that my brain had handed over to my mind. And it didn&#8217;t need keeping my mind busy any more. Similarly, suddenly feeling hungry was an instinct needing to get satiated. And once it was satiated, there was no need for it to keep my mind busy any more hence it readily disappeared.</p><p>It meant that the thoughts which were keeping my mind busy came from unresolved issues. Most of them were evoking my emotions or my moral obligations whether these emotions or moral obligations were welcome or unwelcome. My insights would never have turned into emotions or morals as their very process of coming into existence was their own resolution. But if my hunger were not satiated for long either owing to a lack of food or a moral obligation, it could certainly have turned either into an emotion or a moral avoidance depending on why it hadn&#8217;t been satiated.</p><p>My brain (not my mind) suddenly rewarded me with another insight again. It said, &#8220;Emotions are merely welcome or unwelcome thoughts imagining satiation of unfulfilled instincts. Morals are welcome or unwelcome beliefs stopping or limiting instincts from getting fully satiated and thus keeping them unfulfilled as they appear from within. Instincts are not thoughts, they are just the energetic drives demanding action to satiate them.&#8221;</p><p>This all must have generated a host of moralistic and emotional fragments and sub-fragments fighting against one another in order to come out as winners for their petty concerns. And unfortunately it would have turned awareness into a hub of unresolved issues making life a painful experience rather than a joyful excursion.</p><p>Thus awareness aka mind was given the charge to honor instincts alone through reporting their demands to the brain as perceptions from within in order to get them satiated by the action the brain took via its motor neural structure. The mind was meant to review all those actions and pass it on to the instincts in order to feel satiated and thus enjoy its experience of living as an individual in collaboration with other individuals around. But it extended its area of control and overstuffed itself with morals and emotions thus dividing itself in ever-fighting fragments turning life into an experience of strife rather than joy.</p><p>Here is what I came out with what we experience all around us today&#8230;</p><p>Mind is the reviewing faculty of brain. It never views. It only re-views what the brain has already viewed and acted upon. It happens efficiently, provided this reviewing faculty hasn&#8217;t negatively affected the spontaneous perception and action taken by the brain.</p><p>Why is reviewing required?</p><p>Reviewing is required to give a subjective meaning to the psychedelic perceptions and automatic actions effected by brain. This subjective meaning imparts life with a sense of individual entity having a free will of its own. It makes an individual life a uniquely comprehensible story and thus makes it interesting to this reviewer that mind is.</p><p>But there is a serious caveat here. The reviewer aka the mind, finds it so interesting that it holds this review as being the real perception and the real action. It decides to exercise its free will which ultimately turns into ego that the mind subjectively starts identifying itself with.</p><p>Even this wouldn&#8217;t have been much of a problem, had this free will not been contaminated. Most often, it gets contaminated by an element of fear that stems from an overrated core of life preservative instincts. Life is born with the fear of losing its instinctual preservation.</p><p>It&#8217;s this fear that&#8217;s at the root of contaminating this free will making it work as a proverbial selfish gene. It gets subjectively attached to its own faulty apprehensions of what constitutes a threat to life.</p><p>This fear is a reaction to something that is not a real danger and the brain may not even perceive it as a real threat. It&#8217;s rather a conceived threat that the contaminated free will of the reviewer attaches to its comprehension.</p><p>The contaminated free will is not as intelligent as the spontaneous brain. Along with the instinct of self preservation, brain also hands over a complete list of other instincts to the reviewer. This is done so that the mind can review, cognize and comprehend them all as the basic tenets of life, like hunger, thirst, excretion, curiosity, movement, playfulness, adventure, interaction, grouping, love, sex, reproduction and parenting.</p><p>All these different instincts need to be given exclusive emphases in an overall inclusive manner. None of them less, none of them more!</p><p>But as we saw, the reviewer gets subjectively attached to its faulty apprehensions of threat to life. It does so at the cost of ignoring and at times even suppressing a few other instincts.</p><p>The main victims to this fear of the mind are the instincts of sex, adventure, curiosity and interaction. It considers them as challenging self preservation. Sex is such a strong instinct&nbsp;as can make one even ignore one&#8217;s safety and security. In fact sex should fall under the category of death instincts as opposed to the instincts of self preservation.</p><p>(This categorization of mine is in contrast with the categorization conceived by Sigmund Freud as life instincts and death drives or thanatos. In fact, he had earlier started working along the idea of death instincts before he moved on to conceptualize thanatos. And at that time, he had categorized sex as one of the prime death instincts. These were conceived as death instincts since they tended to do away with ego which overemphasized instincts of self-preservation. As per this initial concept, mind - as ego - apprehends these death instincts as capable of killing its hegemonic existence. Obviously, since they could jeopardize life at times, it would never be ready to welcome or even accept them. And even when it does so, it does in a very lukewarm and half-hearted way. I find this earlier concept of Freud as more meaningful than his later concepts in his conceptual journey. Hence I have developed my concepts along his earlier line of thought.)</p><p>As a result, human culture and society tag sex as the basic sin, acting from that fearful mind&#8217;s apprehensions.</p><p>The same is true of the passion and joy of adventure. Adventure is an instinctual drive to jump into an experience that is unknown. The more the passion, the less one is susceptible to get tamed. We can tame a bullock but never a bull. Human culture and society that are constructed over the most basic foundations of the fear needed to tame their individuals. If they don&#8217;t get tamed, they may jump into life-threatening adventures out of passion. Adventure and safety are two diametrically opposite things. In fact, passion and joy are the hallmark of all death instincts, sex and adventure being the most magnetic among those. That&#8217;s how and why passion and joy are conceptually closely associated with sex and adventure.</p><p>Curiosity is something that questions culture and society&#8217;s training programs aimed at turning their individuals safe and secure. These training programs do so even at the cost of turning them into cogs of ever turning wheels. The human education system is the worst victim to it where students must follow a regimen rather than satiate their curiosity. Regimen ensures what students must know in order to safeguard their future. On the other hand, curiosity flows like water, taking one toward unknown horizons, rewarding them with insights. That&#8217;s when one turns truly intelligent. Mind prefers knowledge to intelligence. But knowledge without intelligence and insight amounts to nothing more than stupidity and nothing less than insensitivity.</p><p>Interaction is another victim to the hegemony of self-preservation. The more one interacts with strangers or unknown situations, the more one exposes oneself to the risk of getting harmed. This apprehended risk gets generated out of the fear of the unknown. Hence human culture and society prefer regimented relationship to spontaneous interaction. Relationship is conditioned, with set protocols to follow, turning it mechanical and dull sooner than later. Interaction is unconditional, creating its own unique designs every time one has it afresh, turning it aesthetically much more creative. Relationship is safe, interaction is risky. But, by the same token, relationship is limited like swimming in a pond, whereas interaction resembles swimming in an ocean.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p><p>Hence, human culture and society are structured on the foundation of curbing these instincts either overtly or covertly.</p><p>All four instincts mentioned above surprisingly fall under the category of death instincts. These are the very instincts that kill ego in the mind. That&#8217;s why and how they appear to be death instincts to the mind.</p><p>When these instincts are suppressed, their energy gets suppressed as well. Mind conjures a powerful tool to do so. The superego! This superego comprises morals that ought to be respected. If not, another new structure we call guilt coaxes it. Surprisingly, guilt steals its energy from the energy of fear which is an emotion, another faculty of mind.</p><p>What happens when energy is suppressed? In fact, it&#8217;s not only suppressed but also repressed at times. Repression means pushing the consciousness of its suppression to the unconscious mind so that it just forgets everything about it.</p><p>But their energetic content still keeps pushing on the doors of the conscious mind. And whenever it finds an opportunity, it knocks at it. It not only knocks, it also enters consciousness stealthily when the guards sitting at the doors are snoozing. That&#8217;s what our dreams are.</p><p>Not only this, even during their exile in the unconscious, these repressed instincts don&#8217;t become fully inactive. They retain their capacity to affect the decisions taken by the unconscious mind against its conscious reasoning.</p><p>A few different morals are constructed to downgrade the content and energy of repressed instincts. The moral of piety downgrades the powerful instinct of sex. Mind understands how powerful and inevitable sex is. Hence it creates another sub-moral of marriage under the moral of piety as a spiritual union. It&#8217;s designed to be a monogamic sexual relationship between one man and one woman all through their life. Humans are not designed to have their sex quota rationed like this. But under the respectable pressure of piety, they accept it at the conscious level. However, their unconscious mind always keeps attracting them to others outside their marriage. It&#8217;s not only about getting attracted but also about having sex with them mentally, if not physically&#8230; and stealthily.</p><p>Mind fragments itself in many parts, all fighting with one another all day long. This infighting continually tires &#8216;us&#8217; even when &#8216;we&#8217; haven&#8217;t done that much work to justify &#8216;our&#8217; tiredness. We never get as tired when we enjoy doing something as we do when we don&#8217;t enjoy doing it. In fact, we almost don&#8217;t get tired when enjoying, even while doing the toughest of jobs.</p><p>Mind constructs quite a few other morals to covertly downgrade the content and energy of curiosity and its questioning attitude. It does so in the name of obedience, faith, reverence, loyalty or devotion in order to avoid questioning the authority.</p><p>What happens to the passion of instincts when its joy gets frustrated? Instincts get distorted by turning into emotions. Consequently, instinctual joy of passion turns into the &#8216;idea&#8217; of joy which we call happiness.</p><p>Happiness needs to be defined as waiting with some probability to experience joy at some point in the future. When we are actually enjoying something, we don&#8217;t need to be &#8216;happy&#8217; as we are simply enjoying it right then and there. We can enjoy while being sad as well. Like, our skin will always enjoy the touch of winter sun even if we are grieving.</p><p>Ironically, unlike passion, emotions always exist as pairs of opposites:</p><p><strong>Happiness - Sadness</strong></p><p><strong>Bravery - Cowardice</strong></p><p><strong>Courage - Timidity</strong></p><p><strong>Confidence - Diffidence</strong></p><p><strong>Hope - Despair</strong></p><p><strong>Excitement - Boredom</strong></p><p><strong>Attachment - Detachment</strong></p><p><strong>Anger - Guilt</strong></p><p><strong>Pride - Shame</strong></p><p><strong>Anxiety - Depression</strong></p><p><strong>Fear - Greed</strong></p><p>One might wonder how fear and greed are opposite emotions. Isn&#8217;t it the fear of losing that turns us greedy to hoard, in case we lose some? Immortality as a greedy concept has always been an antithesis of the fear of losing life.</p><p>Psychology tends to categorize emotions as positive and negative, always siding with the positive ones. But they are the two sides of the same coin. In fact, the negative ones are more basic, born out of the frustration of passion. Their positive counterparts are just feel-good facades that we wear so as not to get intimidated by them.</p><p>Let me give another example here. Psychology tells us to be confident instead of being diffident. How does being confident help us? Let&#8217;s take a hypothetical example. Suppose you and I are to arrive at an interview for the same job. And both of us are equally confident. So our confidence isn&#8217;t going to help both of us at all, simply because one of us is bound to lose. And even if both of us are diffident, one of us is bound to win. So this advice of being confident is mathematically wrong.</p><p>We desire to be confident only because we are basically diffident. Isn&#8217;t it a better thing to be neither and just be natural, ready to face what naturally comes to us?</p><p>That&#8217;s what the futility of all emotions is. They are not natural. They are the constructs of ideas and not the realities behind them. Satiating real instincts generates passion and joy instead of emotions like happiness. Happiness as an emotion plays with the idea of joy rather than real joy, which only passion can generate. Being happy for the next moment instead of enjoying this very one is like masturbating instead of having real sex.</p><p>Everyone always feels like they are missing something in life but no one really knows what!</p><p>What we all are missing is joy right now, which only passion can generate, not any emotions.</p><p>Psychology of the mind has made it an unnaturally complex pattern that is much bigger than what it really is - a reviewer. It negatively affects the brain&#8217;s physiology through its nervous system across the entire body.</p><p>Let&#8217;s see how.</p><p>The mind, in its evolution along human culture and human society, has fragmented itself into many parts. These fragmented parts are always in a state of war with one another. The result is that they keep wasting their energy. As a further result, the organism is thrown into a state that lacks energy.</p><p>Anatomically, this shows up as a habitually unnatural posture of the skeleton, especially at its joints. The skeleton does this to itself, through the mind, by drooping its 360 joints down and tucking them &#8216;in&#8217;. (In the army training throughout the world, they go a step further in a dangerous way. They train soldiers in tucking the skeleton &#8216;out&#8217; while it is still drooping down. No one has yet analyzed that it turns them aggressively violent rather than passively sensitive. But it has been serving their purpose of turning their soldiers&nbsp;&#8216;brave&#8217; and they are happy with it.) This gets further worsened by the muscles in their vicinity getting rigidified and thus changing their habitual anatomy. Both these structural changes affect nerves and blood vessels attached to them thereby changing their habitual anatomy as well.</p><p>And this is what gives birth to those infamous closed chakras - or as I call them, just chakras - all along the length of the spinal cord. If we look at it from a neurological perspective, it stops the vagus nerve from carrying signals effectively. They block the much needed dialogue between the gut and the brain to keep the nervous system functioning properly. That&#8217;s how the materialistic approach to life looks at it.</p><p>Let&#8217;s look at it from the angle of the vitalistic approach to life and the mind body system. Surprisingly, the vitalistic approach also talks of closed chakras along the spinal cord that block the flow of Kundalini. Kundalini is the life-energy designed to flow through the nerve named Sushumna along the spinal cord. The brain works optimally when Kundalini flows unblocked through Sushumna between the root chakra (in the vicinity of gut) and the crown chakra (in the vicinity of brain).</p><p>The similarity in the physiological descriptions of two diametrically opposite philosophical approaches to life has always intrigued me.</p><p>Maybe the two approaches are ways of looking into the same reality from two different angles!</p><p>Time will tell.</p><p>Regardless, the deformed psychology of the mental structure affects the physiology of the human body negatively. It compromises the capacity of the tenth cranial nerve to carry signals, i.e., Kundalini, in an uninhibited manner. The result is a physiologically compromised nervous system of which the brain is the most central organ. That&#8217;s how a compromised mind compromises the brain as well. The brain loses its spontaneity to think in the moment as the mind pushes it toward past and future thoughts.</p><p>What&#8217;s the way out?</p><p>Either we change the psychology of mind or the physiology of body to put it back on the right&nbsp; track.</p><p>If the mind can affect the body negatively, the body can affect the mind as well and positively, at that.</p><p>Changing the psychology of the mind is an uphill task, mainly because it&#8217;s vague. It very easily makes us stray along its functional complexities without even giving any feedback. Thus, It keeps us blindly guessing if we are on the right track or not. The probability of being right is way less than being wrong. It&#8217;s because there are many wrong but only one right way and we are trying to hit the bullseye blindfolded.</p><p>On the other hand, let&#8217;s look at a miraculous physical activity that changes the psychology of the mind instantaneously.</p><p>Skydiving, apart from being an awesome sport, is also an awesome physiological meditation. Under conditions of free fall, people tend to stop breathing. Although they CAN breathe but they don&#8217;t need to. Whatever little oxygen they require is absorbed by their skin through osmosis in their system. Its only limitation is that it&#8217;s there only for the duration of 6-7 minutes it takes to touch the ground. As this intense experience instantly changes the body&#8217;s physiology, it also instantly changes the mind&#8217;s psychology.</p><p>Here is a firsthand account of a first-time skydiver:</p><p><em><strong>&#8220;I was OUT&#8230; everything mentally ended&#8230; over&#8230; started&#8230; me&#8230; perhaps more dead than alive&#8230; perhaps more alive than I will ever be&#8230; breathing just as I had been taught&#8230; wind&#8230; wind and breath&#8230; until wind and breath became indiscernible, became as one&#8230; and yes, almost weightless&#8230; it was true! &#8230; weightless and so surreal&#8230; there was the earth, neither coming at me, nor me at it, &#8230; no up&#8230; no down&#8230; no me, in the ego sense of me, just some thoughtless consciousness&#8230; and yes, it was awesome simply to be&#8230; or not. The sky was in my lungs and it never once occurred to me would the parachute open.&#8221;</strong></em></p><p>Sounds like the skydiver is describing an out-of-body experience instead of a free fall! We may be moved to think it was actually so if not for the references to wind, earth and the parachute. Swiss scientists have recently discovered something. They sent a very weak current to the back, right part of the brain. It triggered an out-of-body experience (OBE) for the patient. This OBE is also associated with the sense of levitation. They found that it could be recreated at will whenever a particular part of the brain was stimulated by an electric current. Scientists also say that a human body has a naturally weak electric field. Its disruption causes disease. Therefore, drugs are being designed to restore this weak field. But the exact nature of this field is not yet fully understood.</p><p>In the process of changing its psychology, the mind needs to empty itself of all its beliefs, including morals and emotions. It needs to be kept limited to reviewing and comprehending what brain supplies it with, i.e., instincts, as an observer alone. In other words, it needs to turn truly agnostic. It&#8217;s not easy. It scares the mind to death, quite literally. The mind really considers it as its death. That&#8217;s why it stealthily keeps turning all meditations into new visualizations, new imaginations and new beliefs instead of the old ones. It sheds old beliefs and embraces new ones like old wine in a new bottle. And it does so just in order not to get caught for trying to keep its death away.</p><p>That&#8217;s why and how mental and spiritual meditations, at times, get reduced to performing pious rituals alone.</p><p>Emptying the mind means getting rid of all its beliefs, habits, fears and desires. If we try to do this through conscious mental effort using our will power, we miserably fail. This is because we are trying to kill the mind by the mind itself. Why would the mind ever commit suicide? It&#8217;s happy being in control of not only our psychology but also our biology. It does so by turning our perceptions and urges mechanical.</p><p>It&#8217;s only possible to empty the mind using itself when it&#8217;s posed with an impending emergency that it has no solution for. It stops working in such an impending scenario. Consequently, it gets forced to surrender its reign over any action that could get rid of it. In such a situation, the brain takes charge and performs the appropriate action to come out of that scenario.</p><p>I remember a story from my life when my spirit of adventure posed a similar challenge to my mind. And my mind just resigned. But my spirit still went ahead with my brain alone and faced the challenge with my mind held back as it was absolutely emptied.</p><p>It was in the year 1992 that I visited a beautiful, high altitude valley in the Himalayas named Manali. I had already booked a cottage for a month-long stay over there. We were three in our family; my wife, my six-year-old daughter and I. We were enjoying our stay, doing something new each day.</p><p>After around ten days, we thought of going on an unconventional trek in the valley - a trek along the untrodden side of the River Beas that flowed through the valley. There was no road on that side of the river. Any roads that existed were on the other side of the river from our trek.</p><p>Regardless, we started our trek and kept moving along the river, upstream. After around half an hour of our trek, the river got us stuck. It was taking a sharp turn there after hitting a high rock on our side of the trek. So, there was no way to go further. We were a little disappointed. I looked around the hill to the side of the river. I was looking for a bridle path, hoping to climb up a little and then come down to move further along the river. That way, we could have circumvented the sharp turn and climbed down to the river ahead of the sharp turn.</p><p>As I was investigating the visible bridle paths, I spotted a man standing at the hilltop looking curiously toward us. I shouted, aiming my voice in his direction, &#8220;Hey!&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;Hey!&#8221; the man shouted back from the hilltop.</p><p>I explained to him in my sign language what we were up to.</p><p>Seemingly a local, he immediately understood what we wanted. He threw a fleeting look along the bridle paths up the hill. Then he looked down around the river bend, and then waved at us to climb up.</p><p>As we started climbing up, I spotted him coming down toward us as well. That surprised me a bit. But as we climbed up a little further, I realized why he had made his way down. As we reached a nearly horizontal patch lined up with a nearly vertical rock, we found him standing up there.</p><p>What a helping spirit combined with curious involvement! He smiled, sitting atop the approximately 7 feet high rock tilted at around 105 degrees from that nearly horizontal patch.</p><p>&#8220;I had seen this rock from above and I knew you would need my help to climb it,&#8221; he said, smiling.</p><p>&#8220;Thanks a lot!&#8221; I felt grateful. As I looked down once from where we were standing, I found us to be exactly over the river-bend which meant that, by then, we had climbed a few hundred feet.</p><p>The man lied down on his stomach on the horizontal patch atop the rock. From there, he hung his arms down along the slope of the rock. First, my wife held his hands and I pushed her from behind as he pulled her up to the top.</p><p>As the patch above the top was comparatively narrow, he made her sit a little away on a gentle slope. Then he came back to the rock-top and lied down on his stomach hanging his arms down, again. This time, I lifted my daughter and pushed her up from behind as he pulled her up easily. He made her sit along with my wife and came back to the rock-top again. As he lied down on his stomach a third time hanging his arms down to pull me up now, he realized it wouldn&#8217;t work.</p><p>&#8220;Oh!&#8221; he exclaimed, disappointed.</p><p>By then, I too had realized that we had not accounted for this scenario. With my wife and my daughter, I was there below to push them up. But now, I was alone with no one to do the same for me.</p><p>The man and I looked into each other&#8217;s eyes and then down at the river below flowing with roaring ferocity.</p><p>&#8220;We forgot this,&#8221; I said.</p><p>&#8220;Now?&#8221; he asked me.</p><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s risky,&#8221; I said with a sigh.</p><p>&#8220;Disappointing,&#8221; he sighed back dropping his head on the top of the rock.</p><p>&#8220;Hey! Is it really impossible?&#8221; I looked at the height and the slope of the rock.</p><p>&#8220;Not exactly, but yes, almost!&#8221; he opined.</p><p>&#8220;Why don&#8217;t we do it! I can push myself up with all my might,&#8221; my adventure bug bit me further.</p><p>He looked at me intently, &#8220;I don&#8217;t bother about myself. But you have a family along. If you aren&#8217;t able to make it the very first time, we both will be down there in the river. We will be flown away by its gushing waters&#8230; not to be found even as dead bodies ever! A falling man catches at a straw. You won&#8217;t even be able to leave my hand, pulling me down along,&#8221; he explained what all it could entail.</p><p>&#8220;Oh, then send them back and we will go down the way we came up from,&#8221; I felt concerned about a stranger&#8217;s life not to be jeopardized.</p><p>&#8220;But I won&#8217;t feel good!&#8221; he exclaimed as he looked into my eyes intently again.</p><p>I kept looking back into his.</p><p>&#8220;Okay, let&#8217;s do it. Just take care to sync your push with my pull exactly at the same moment,&#8221; he finally gave his verdict.</p><p>&#8220;Think twice before you say yes,&#8221; I said.</p><p>&#8220;You too!&#8221; came his reply.</p><p>&#8220;Ready?&#8221; I asked.</p><p>&#8220;Ready?&#8221; he asked.</p><p>We both started counting aloud, &#8220;One, two, three!&#8221;</p><p>As we counted three, I found myself lying along him with my head toward his feet up on the patch at the top of the rock. Two sighs of relief from the two of us and we smiled calmly looking at each other&#8217;s face!</p><p>I did it. In fact, my body did it. I don&#8217;t know how I did. It was exactly like what that middle-aged mechanic in my story in episode 11 had done. He too didn&#8217;t have any clue of how he had done what he had.</p><p>My wife and daughter didn&#8217;t even come to know what we both had come up through.</p><p>My mind was just empty as it remained empty for a long while after.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p><p>But the habits die hard. The entire pattern comes back to the same square one once the emergency gets over.</p><p>Hence though imminent emergencies can empty our mind in a flash of a second, they aren&#8217;t a permanent modus operandi. But yes, they can give us an instant glimpse of what an empty mind feels and works like. They can certainly demonstrate the superiority of any action done on our part without any doubt about it. That was what had happened in the above-mentioned story as well as in the mechanic&#8217;s story mentioned in episode 11.</p><p>But then, how can the mind be permanently emptied?</p><p>Remember the firsthand account of a first timer in skydiving quoted before above?</p><p>I repeat it here for your convenience&#8230;</p><p><em><strong>&#8220;I was OUT&#8230; everything mentally ended&#8230; over&#8230; started&#8230; me&#8230; perhaps more dead than alive&#8230; perhaps more alive than I will ever be&#8230; breathing just as I had been taught&#8230; wind&#8230; wind and breath&#8230; until wind and breath became indiscernible, became as one&#8230; and yes, almost weightless&#8230; it was true! &#8230; weightless and so surreal&#8230; there was the earth, neither coming at me, nor me at it, &#8230; no up&#8230; no down&#8230; no me, in the ego sense of me, just some thoughtless consciousness&#8230; and yes, it was awesome simply to be&#8230; or not. The sky was in my lungs and it never once occurred to me would the parachute open.&#8221;</strong></em></p><p>It&#8217;s a perfect example of a mind having gone emptied. And what a tremendous experience this was!</p><p>But unfortunately this too stays only for a maximum duration of 6-7 minutes. That&#8217;s while the skydiver is falling free before the parachute opens.</p><p>We could extend this time with the help of a virtual reality simulator without even having a real skydiving session. But how long for?</p><p>We could even consider improving the quality of virtual free fall simulator as compared to a real skydiving session. That could even entail removing the decelerating effect of air with a better control on experiencing acceleration due to gravity. We could hypothesize that such a perfect simulation for a certain minimum time might empty the mind permanently as well.</p><p>In fact, I am already working on a project that proposes to testify this hypothesis under strict laboratory conditions.</p><p>But we cannot wait for this hypothesis to get proved correct. We do have a surer method though a little slower than the proposed hypothesis, at least for the time being. One in hand is always better than two in the bush!</p><p>The code of instant central fixation of the mind is same as the code of instant kundalini awakening / establishing gut-brain communication.</p><p>And that&#8217;s what I have already mentioned in episode 11. The code that sends surges of energy up the spine from the gut to the brain, empties the mind as well. We can easily keep emptying our mind continuously with every single extended exhalation when all our chakras are open. From a vitalistic angle, it amounts to sending periodical surges of kundalini from an open root chakra to an open crown chakra. From a materialistic angle, it amounts to sending periodical surges of neural communication from the gut to the brain.</p><p>Whatever it might be, but it does fill the crown of the head with inexplicable joy with every single extended exhalation. Along with joy, it also embellishes the brain with newer energy and newer insights. And every surge of this inexplicable joy keeps the mind emptied for its duration, in fact a little longer. Before it starts waning, the next surge appears with the next extended exhalation, reinforcing the mind&#8217;s emptiness again.</p><p>In case we ever miss the sequence, the hell isn&#8217;t going to fall loose on earth. We can again pick the thread of breath from wherever it right now is and restart the sequence once again.</p><p>Download the code of instant central fixation of the mind in the &#8216;Resources&#8217; section of SKELETAL LEAP BOOK 1, available on: <a href="https://www.skeletalleap.com/themindbodyconnection">skeletalleap.com/themindbodyconnection</a></p><p>Thanks for listening to this episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!

Unlike animals that move on all fours, humans have adapted to walk upright, which has profound implications for our skeletal structure and overall movement. </p><p>This transition has provided us with enhanced freedom of movement but also comes with the responsibility to maintain our body&#8217;s center of gravity. </p><p>Laadi emphasizes that keeping this center intact while performing daily activities is crucial for stability and efficiency. One of the standout concepts discussed in this episode is the importance of core strength. </p><p>Laadi explains that our core muscles, located around two inches below the belly button, play a vital role in maintaining balance and stability. By strengthening these muscles, we can improve our performance in various physical activities, from casual chores to competitive sports like arm wrestling. </p><p>Interestingly, Laadi shares his personal experience of winning arm wrestling matches not due to sheer muscle strength but because of his innate ability to engage his core effectively. </p><p>Additionally, the episode touches on the connection between our physical health and mental well-being. Laadi notes that the practice of centering the body can enhance focus and mindfulness, allowing us to navigate our daily lives with greater awareness. He draws parallels to the teachings of Joseph Pilates, who championed the mind-body connection through exercises that promote core stability and posture. </p><p>Moreover, Laadi introduces the concept of chakras and their role in weight management. He explains how opening the solar plexus, root, and sacral chakras can prevent belly fat accumulation and promote overall health. This holistic approach to wellness emphasizes the integration of physical, mental, and spiritual practices for achieving optimal health. </p><p>As the episode concludes, Laadi invites listeners to embrace the journey of self-discovery and personal development through mindful movement. By understanding our body&#8217;s design and harnessing the power of our core, we can combat obesity and enhance our quality of life. </p><p>For those eager to delve deeper into these concepts, Laadi encourages listeners to explore the resources available on the Skeletal Leap website. With practical insights and actionable steps, this episode &#8220;Dynamic Core Stability Gets You READY to Challenge Masters!&#8220; is a must-listen for anyone seeking to improve their health and well-being. </p><p>Tune in now and take the first step towards dynamic core stability for transforming your life into a personal heaven!</p><h2>Dynamic Core Stability Gets You READY to Challenge

world has assumed a debilitating stature making its scale even larger than a pandemic.</p><p>My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to &#8220;Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure&#8221;. Skeletal Leap transforms one&#8217;s life into a personal heaven.</p><p>Today&#8217;s episode will tell you how I cracked the code of instant central fixation of the body.</p><p>After having cracked all these codes and activating them in a focused observant posture that was not moving in space with time, I needed to generalize them under conditions of movement throughout the day involving not only the body but also the mind. I needed to be equally focused and observant to keep them active while doing all kinds of my daily chores whether casual like washing utensils or critical like fighting with someone on road. Occasionally sitting for meditation in an ideal static posture to activate all these codes for a limited duration of time was not a realistic alternative. All these codes needed to remain active all through the day throughout the life. An hour of meditation would never be able to compensate for the rest twenty three hours of anti-meditative action of life.</p><p>It all needed to be an integral part of whatever I did, whenever I did and wherever I did. For this, I needed to understand the movement of body in space and the movement of mind in time in deeper details.</p><p>I chose the movement of body in space, first. It needed to remain stable while making any kind of movement. The animal movement wouldn&#8217;t be able to provide much insight into the human movement. The reason was that the animals carried all their body weight either on four or more of their legs like in mammals and insects or on their entire body like in birds in the sky, reptiles on earth and water animals in the sea. Humans were different. We had chosen to balance our body weight only on two feet, turning the rest two into hands through our ancestors as long as 4-7 million years ago.</p><p>Once we changed our body orientation from horizontal to vertical, our organs including our skeleton, brain, muscles, nerves and blood vessels started a new journey of bipedal evolution. The changes involved new arrangement and size of foot bones, hip size and shape, knee size, leg length, shape and orientation of vertebral column and the skull orientation.</p><p>With the help of newly evolved larger heels, the foot increased in size. This enabled it to work like a platform on which the body weight could easily rest. It also turned the toes smaller than before as they were no more used to grasp things like tree trunks.</p><p>Foot as a platform didn&#8217;t evolve as a flat surface but did so as an arched one. This arching distributed the body weight on feet from their heels to the balls of the feet behind the big toes. Such a weight distribution conserved a lot of energy while walking.</p><p>Human knee joints also evolved to support the increased body weight on just two of them, as opposed to four before, owing to bipedalism. The degree of knee extension, meaning the angle between the thigh and the shank in the walking cycle, decreased. This change called double knee action reduced energy lost by vertical displacement of the center of gravity. It enabled Homo sapiens to keep their knees straight right under the body, improving its balance.</p><p>Evolution, driven by bipedalism changed the length of Homo sapiens&#8217; legs since they were the only ones to function with an upright gait. Leg muscles became the ones that gave a push, through their ankles, to the action of walking. Longer legs also gave an effortless swing to the steps without using the muscles every time. Since forelimbs no more played any role in the action of walking, they were freed to be used for other activities.</p><p>Bipedal evolution provided Homo sapiens with upper limbs for visually guided manipulation and lower limbs for mechanically guided bipedal gait. It also optimized the location of the body&#8217;s center of gravity. It further reorganized the internal organs and the biomechanics of the trunk through a double S shaped vertebral column. The double S shape of the vertebral column became an efficient shock absorber. The entire skeletal system thus efficiently shifted the weight of the upper body to the soles of the feet. Long, load bearing legs were also very nicely optimized for bipedalism.</p><p>All the large joints of the lower limbs got aligned in a vertically oriented straight line.</p><p>Bipedalism also resulted in larger hip joints than before to better support the entire body weight. It made the hip shorter and broader, bringing the vertebral column closer to itself. This re-arrangement provided a more stable base for the support of the trunk while walking upright.</p><p>The size of the gluteus muscles increased as well, enabling Homo sapiens to assume a balanced stance even on just one leg. The sacrum turned broader, thus increasing the opening of the birth canal in the females of the species.</p><p>Today, the vertebral column of adult Homo sapiens, in its natural posture, has two secondary posteriorly concave bends in its lumbar and cervical regions. They are called secondary because they develop after birth. On the other hand, it has two primary anteriorly concave bends in its sacrococcygeal and thoracic regions. They are called primary because they retain the original fetal curvature.</p><p>Together, these four bends give rise to the double S shape of the vertebral column. Without its posteriorly concave bend in its lumbar region that develops as the child learns to sit upright, stand, and walk, the body would have kept leaning forward. In that case it would have needed a huge effort to stand upright.</p><p>At the top, without its posteriorly concave bend in its cervical region that develops as the infant begins to hold their head upright when sitting, the head couldn&#8217;t have been held up straight.</p><p>The two anteriorly concave bends in the sacrococcygeal and thoracic regions have been retained from the original fetal curvature.</p><p>The posteriorly concave bend in the lumbar region and the anteriorly concave bend in the thoracic region keep the body straight. These two bends do so by keeping body&#8217;s center of gravity vertically in line with its feet.</p><p>Also, during the bipedal evolution with an accelerated evolution of brain, the skull changed in size and weight very fast as it changed to a vertical orientation freely balanced on the vertebral column at its first vertebra named Atlas. These vertical orientations of the skull and the vertebral column gave them more freedom to move these parts in any desired direction and orientation.</p><p>The size of the human brain that kept increasing all this while also played a very big role in bipedal evolution. It went 3-4 times larger, for its body size, than that of its nearest evolutionary relative, chimpanzee.</p><p>Today, all these new arrangements have turned us way more susceptible to go off-balance with the slightest deviation in posturing our vertically oriented body from the way it has been designed. It happens when our body&#8217;s center of gravity&nbsp;no more remains vertically in line with its feet. In such scenarios we tend to stumble even if we don&#8217;t really fall down outright. The more we are able to keep our body&#8217;s center of gravity&nbsp;vertically in line with its feet, the more stable we remain in our movements that we keep making all day long.</p><p>That&#8217;s why we need to center our body and keep that centering intact while we are making movements. The quadrupeds don&#8217;t need to be bothered about it since they have a large base to support their body weight which never lets them stumble or fall. We humans gave away that benefit to opt for the enhanced freedom of movement that we achieved as its result. But freedom always comes with responsibility. It has become our responsibility today to keep our center intact while making all kinds of movements. If we fail to do so, we are forced to compromise while making the movements we need to make. It not only makes our body less efficient but also our mind through losing our focus on the action in hand.</p><p>I looked for the center of my body that I needed to keep vertically in line with its feet intact in space while making complex movements that took the other parts of my body away from the center. We humans have gone unaware of it, especially so because we don&#8217;t keep our vertebral column postured the way it has been designed to keep our body&#8217;s center of gravity&nbsp;vertically in line with its feet.</p><p>This center is what we call the core located in our abdomen around two inches below the belly button. The muscles around this point in the body allow us to keep it intact and the stronger they are, the better goes the quality of all our movements. They build up our core strength to get centered at the core which is the most efficient way to do any action even with our limbs in conjunction with our core.</p><p>Let me give you an example here. My performance in an unofficially popular sport called armwrestling had alway been exceptional since my early childhood. It was not that I was very strong in my arms but whoever I played it with could never defeat me. At times, these challengers were with large and strong muscles in their arms but they would invariably lose whenever they played it with me. They were surprised but no more than I too was. I could never analyze what it was that made me win every time. Of course, it did give me a psychological confidence that later started playing an extra role in making me win. But that could never be the only factor. Moreover this factor had entered much later in the scene. It wasn&#8217;t always there when I started my winning spree. Hence it couldn&#8217;t be given the sole credit of it.</p><p>At this point of time when I started locating the center of my body, I suddenly discovered that I had already been utilizing it for much of my benefit all through my life. Although I never consciously did so but it happened on its own very spontaneously as and when I sat down for a bout of armwrestling. I could now very well see which muscles around my core I used along with using the muscles in my arm. And using them along with the muscles in my arm had made me almost invincible in this sport.</p><p>Yes, if we keep our core intact with the help of strong muscles around it in a habitual manner, we will turn invincible in whatever we do through making ourselves entirely focused on that particular action. And it was this that I had been doing unknowingly in a habitual manner while armwrestling with others.</p><p>Once I discovered cracking the code of instant central fixation of the body, I started using it in all the movements I made with the help of any other muscles in any part of my body. The results were spectacular increasing my efficiency in whatever I did since then.</p><p>In fact, Joseph Pilates had already worked on this approach through correcting the spine posture in the earlier part of the 20th century improving the body balance considerably. He called it &#8220;a mind-body exercise that requires core stability, strength, and flexibility along with attention to muscle control, posture, and breathing&#8221;.</p><p>The stronger the core muscles are and more we use them to keep the core intact, the better goes the performance of all the rest of them in any part of the body.</p><p>The core muscles include&#8230;</p><ol><li><p><strong>Abdominal group of muscles</strong> (rectus abdominis, internal and external obliques, and transverse abdominis) </p></li><li><p><strong>Erector spinae group of muscles</strong> (iliocostalis, longissimus, and spinalis) </p></li><li><p><strong>Pelvic floor group of muscles</strong> (coccygeus, iliococcygeus, puborectalis, and pubococcygeus) </p></li><li><p><strong>Thoracic diaphragm muscle</strong> that activates the diaphragmatic breathing</p></li></ol><p>There are two approaches to centering the body. One of them is strengthening the above-mentioned muscles. But the second one, i.e., the habit of using them while doing any movement in the body plays a more important role as it strengthens them while using them for balancing the body at the same time. In fact, it&#8217;s a better way to strengthen your core muscles &#8211; we need to use them whether we are making a movement or not. They already have some strength in them. Hence the more we use them, the stronger they go automatically. We get the best of both the worlds!</p><p>Download the code of instant central fixation of the body in the &#8216;Resources&#8217; section of SKELETAL LEAP BOOK 1, available on: <a href="https://www.skeletalleap.com/themindbodyconnection">skeletalleap.com/themindbodyconnection</a></p><p>Centering the body even while not making any movement has an additional benefit that&#8217;s as valuable as its balancing effect turning body stable. It is that it never lets the belly fat get accumulated in the abdomen at all.</p><p>Obesity throughout the world has assumed a debilitating stature making its scale even larger than a pandemic. That&#8217;s why and how the weight loss business has become one of the most lucrative businesses the world over!</p><p>In general, it all starts with adding fat to the belly in the beginning. And the best way to lose belly fat is opening the solar plexus chakra in conjunction with the root and the sacral chakras. It turns our entire abdominal area between the pelvis and thoracic diaphragm in a vertically stretched and perfectly taut stance. If all these three chakras are open, it&#8217;s not possible for fat to get accumulated on the belly. If it&#8217;s already present, these three open chakras immediately start melting it right then and there. And as it is a 24 hour process, it loses belly fat much faster than any other weight loss method.</p><p>Thanks for listening to this episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!

He describes a time when he found himself in a state of flow while running, feeling as if he could run indefinitely without fatigue. This experience, he explains, is linked to the release of endorphins and serotonin in the brain, which can elevate our physical and mental states. </p><p>His journey into the world of energy began when he faced a personal trauma that led to a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. Frustrated with the limitations of medical treatments, Laadi turned to holistic practices, focusing on the central fixation of his body and the opening of his chakras. He shares how the solar plexus, throat, and crown chakras played a crucial role in his healing process, helping him regain control over his health and well-being. </p><p>As Laadi delves deeper into his exploration, he recounts a transformative experience in Mannavanur, where he encountered a local boy who introduced him to the &#8220;Mannavanur magic mushroom&#8221;. This encounter sparked a significant shift in his consciousness, allowing him to connect with his deeper self and facilitating a powerful energy flow throughout his body. </p><p>Listeners will be captivated by Laadi&#8217;s storytelling as he recounts miraculous events from his life that demonstrate the extraordinary capabilities of the human body. </p><p>He emphasizes the importance of letting go and being open to the energy that surrounds us, which can lead to profound healing and transformation. </p><p>In conclusion, this episode is not just about Laadi&#8217;s personal journey but serves as an invitation for listeners to explore their own potential for healing and self-discovery. By understanding the importance of energy flow and the role of chakras, we can all embark on our own paths toward wellness and enlightenment. </p><p>Tune in to this enlightening episode of Skeletal Leap and discover how you too can crack the code of your own energy awakening.</p><h2>READY for SPONTANEOUS KUNDALINI AWAKENING through BREATHWORK Technique? - Subscribe to Skeletal Leap

flow hasn&#8217;t yet fully been understood in terms of its associated cellular processes that make it happen.</p><p>My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to &#8220;Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure&#8221;. Skeletal Leap transforms one&#8217;s life into a personal heaven.</p><p>Today&#8217;s episode will tell you how I cracked the code of instant kundalini awakening and establishing gut-brain communication.</p><p>My eyesight had turned sharper than normal. All my chakras had also opened by now, gifting me with all their benefits to my health, both physical and mental. But there were no signs of any energy moving upward through my spine. Incidentally, life got me busy with some other concerns that I needed to resolve before anything else for the next few years. And I had to postpone cracking the code of energy flow until the next phase of my spree, cracking further codes.</p><p>Opening chakras had excellently done their job as a panacea. It wasn&#8217;t only that they had instantly turned my myopic eyesight to sharper than normal but they also did something that was really beyond my farthest-fetched imagination. It was something related to the immune system extending to a tendency toward autoimmunity in my body. I very well knew about the difference between the real infections and the pseudo infections which the immune system with a tendency to autoimmunity considered as real in the latter case.</p><p>I also knew that medical science hadn&#8217;t yet been able to do anything more than just partially managing the autoimmune diseases. It was with a long list of medicines to keep taking lifelong with their side effects negatively affecting the quality of life. I had seen the victims to rheumatoid arthritis moving from bad to worse in their advanced stages getting managed with a host of medicines with the passage of time. The very sight of their deformed bodies evoked feelings of a scary revulsion. I had never imagined I could also be pushed toward a similar threat owing to a traumatic phase in my life causing me to ignore my central fixation.</p><p>In 2019, while I was in a traumatized state due to suppressed anger when my daughter was inhumanly attacked by her estranged husband, I fell prey to viral arthritis. The virus was there in the air in my city that year. It caught my wrists, hands and fingers with an acute pain in their joints. All my neighbors caught the virus too. The prognosis was that this virus would take a long time of a few months to be kicked out of the body.</p><p>As I generally do in response to any infection, I didn&#8217;t consult any physician but decided to wait and allow my body to fight with the virus naturally. Five months passed by, without any improvement in the situation. By now, my neighbors had either got rid of it or were on their path to considerable improvement. Ultimately I consulted a specialist who gave me a strong medicinal course for one week. He assured me I would be okay within a week.</p><p>A week later, I was not only back at his clinic but my condition was worse too. I saw clear signs of panic on my physician&#8217;s face. He had already done the best he could have. He concluded that mine was not a case of viral arthritis any more. It had slipped into its autoimmune variant. He said it was most probably the onset of rheumatoid arthritis. Hence he referred me to the most popular rheumatoid specialist in the city.</p><p>This naturally scared me because rheumatoid arthritis, unlike viral arthritis, was an autoimmune disease. And I was aware that medical science hadn&#8217;t yet been able to invent a total cure for any autoimmune irregularity.</p><p>The new doctor tested my blood to assess if it was, indeed, the onset of rheumatoid arthritis. When he came to the conclusion that it was really so, he started a course of what I call &#8220;medicinal management&#8221; for it. It meant that I was doomed to live with this condition for the rest of my life, managing the disease turning worse and worse with the passage of time perennially.</p><p>I told him I wasn&#8217;t interested in disease management alone. What I was interested in was a complete cure. I asked him if it was possible or not. If it was, I would prefer living a free life without any precautionary conditions attached to it. If it wasn&#8217;t, I would rather say bye to the world. He couldn&#8217;t say yes but tried his best to change my mind and gave me a month-long medicinal course.</p><p>I told him I had done my own personal research on central fixation and its connection to lifestyle diseases. I added that, while giving his medicinal course a shot, I would start my central fixation procedure simultaneously. If, at the end of the month, I was able to live without his next monthly doze, I&#8217;d continue living. Not otherwise!</p><p>In the end, to make things lighter, I said, &#8220;If I do, I will invite rheumatoid patients the world over to come to me for a permanent cure!&#8221;</p><p>He was ready, smiling with his funnily crisp reply, &#8220;Hey! I need to put food on the table for my family too!&#8221;</p><p>I immediately started focusing on central fixation of my body again; something I had ignored due to my trauma.</p><p>I lived! And I have never needed his medicines till date. The chakras that helped me the most in healing my condition through dissolving (or opening) them were solar plexus chakra, throat chakra and crown chakra. Solar plexus chakra opened up to keep my thoracic diaphragm relaxed turning my exhalations longer than my inhalations while breathing. Opening the throat chakra&nbsp; brought my arms and my hands back to their natural posture for good. And an open crown chakra took care of my autoimmune tendency.</p><p>This was the best confirmation for me that the central fixation done through opening chakras did work as a panacea. But I wanted to investigate into its further possibilities with a rekindled initiative now.</p><p>I was convinced that an increased energy flow through the spine could do wonders. It could be a smooth unobstructed flow or else a burst of it in an emergency as a miracle. I knew this from my past experiences of coming across miracles where I was either a witness or an experiencer myself.</p><p>Three miraculous stories from my life come to my mind. All three of them indicate that human body is a storehouse&nbsp;of all kinds of mysterious energy bursts.</p><p>The first one took place in 1966 when I was an adolescent. I was going on foot for a sunny winter stroll in Dehradun. It was a city in a valley, down my town on a hilltop, where I had gone to spend my winter holidays.</p><p>As I was moving leisurely, my peripheral vision saw a miracle taking place in front of my eyes. It was someone taking a giant leap in the air and picking a kid in front of a speeding car. Then I suddenly heard a harsh screech of the car applying all its brakes together. Immediately after this, I heard a noise coming from the other side of the road. Some people had surrounded a middle-aged gentleman with a kid in his arms. I ran toward them and asked someone in the crowd what really had happened. He spoke in a loud voice, &#8220;This godlike man just saved this kid from getting run over by that car. But he himself doesn&#8217;t know how.&#8221;</p><p>Hearing him, the middle-aged gentleman who had a mechanic shop near which he was sitting looked at us. He said, &#8220;I really don&#8217;t remember what I did and how I did it. I was working in my shop when I saw this kid just in front of that speeding car. The last thing I remember was saying to myself&nbsp; that the kid was gone. And now these people are telling me I have saved him.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;Yes,&#8221; another man interrupted the conversation, &#8220;I clearly saw him jumping like a cheetah. He took a leap to that far a location where the kid was, from his shop where he was working. Not even an Olympic gold medalist would have been able to perform a feat like that!&#8221;</p><p>The middle-aged gentleman laughed in doubt, &#8220;Maybe God entered my body and made me do what you say I did. But honestly speaking, I just don&#8217;t remember. And now I am seeing the kid in my arms here and that car applying brakes so far ahead. Looks like I might have done it. Why would you people lie after all?&#8221;</p><p>I just assessed the distance of his shop from the road where this accident had been avoided from taking place. No one could ever have believed that it was humanly even possible to try doing what this man had done.</p><p>I silently saluted that man and went my way, thinking deep within.</p><p>Even today, I don&#8217;t know if a spurt of biological energy could have performed that kind of miracle. Maybe yes, maybe no! We need to do further research on it.</p><p>The second story took place in 1978. It was the year I had shifted from my small town in the hills of the Himalayas to Delhi, the capital of India.</p><p>I would everyday go for running in the evening. Generally it used to be half an hour of running everyday. But that day, I didn&#8217;t stop after half an hour and continued running further. I got tired but I didn&#8217;t stop. I still continued running. One hour passed. I was nearly exhausted but I still didn&#8217;t stop. I still remember my feeling behind doing so. I was simply teasingly flirting with myself.</p><p>I kept running. One and a half hours had passed. I had reached almost the point of ultimate exhaustion in my body. I still kept running, thinking I would fall down on the road at the most in the worst case.</p><p>But it was not to happen. Something else did. At one moment, all my tiredness suddenly went away. I felt a sudden surge of a very cool and relaxed energy in my body. I felt immensely fresh like I was not running at all, I was rather floating in the air. I felt like I could keep running till eternity without even making any effort at all.</p><p>At that point, I decided to stop in order to perceive more deeply what had happened to me. I started walking and looking around. I kept feeling I was floating. Everything in front of my eyes started looking much brighter to me. I remember the feeling of awe that I was going through as I walked on the road back home.</p><p>I reached home and sat down in a chair ingesting deep within what I was experiencing.</p><p>After about an hour of keeping sitting in the chair, I was back to my old habitual self. I looked around in the literature for any reference of what I had gone through. And I came to discover I had undergone a classical experience of the state of flow, also known as &#8216;being in the zone&#8217;.</p><p>The state of flow hasn&#8217;t yet fully been understood in terms of its associated cellular processes that make it happen. It still needs further research into it in order to garner various collective benefits it provides, like:</p><ul><li><p>Completely involved in what we are doing &#8211; focused, concentrated.</p></li><li><p>A sense of ecstasy of being outside everyday reality</p></li><li><p>Great inner clarity &#8211; knowing what needs to be done, and how well we are doing.</p></li><li><p>Knowing that the activity is doable &#8211; that our skills are adequate to the task.</p></li><li><p>A sense of serenity &#8211; no worries about oneself, and a feeling of growing beyond the boundaries of the ego.</p></li><li><p>Timelessness &#8211; thoroughly focused on the present, hours seem to pass by the minute.</p></li><li><p>Intrinsic motivation &#8211; whatever produces flow becomes its own reward.</p></li></ul><p>It&#8217;s envisaged that release of endorphins in brain facilitates the state of flow. We only need to know how to release these endorphins naturally for the purpose.</p><p>The third story that was a further extension of the state of flow took place after three years in 1981. Three years had passed after I shifted from my hometown to Delhi. At the same time an estranged girlfriend of mine from Dehradun shifted to take admission in National School of Drama. I was also stationed there, working in a project associated with the same institute, i.e., National School of Drama. We had had a bitter fight before shifting and had stopped talking to each other.</p><p>We kept crossing each other everyday, passing by each other like two strangers as we crossed. It was something not very normal. It indicated we were still strongly attracted toward each other, otherwise we would have let go and moved ahead. Had it been so, we wouldn&#8217;t have stopped talking to each other.</p><p>Three years passed by and the pattern of our behavior remained the same toward each other. After three years were over, something struck to me in my mind. I wanted my mind to get free from my concern for her.</p><p>I went to her room in the hostel and proposed we should have an unconditional dialogue with each other. It would help both of us to drop each other from our minds. She readily agreed. It was 3 o&#8217; clock in the afternoon at that moment. We decided we would meet after three hours, at 6 o&#8217; clock in a nearby restaurant.</p><p>I left her hostel and started walking on the road. But I suddenly discovered my gait was not the same old gait. I wasn&#8217;t feeling like I was walking. I was really feeling like I was flying. This time this feeling like flying was different from the relaxed effortless feeling like floating in the state of flow. Although this feeling was also an effortless one, it was way more energetic. Even my speed was much faster although I wasn&#8217;t intentionally walking that fast. It was this miraculous spurt of energy that was controlling my speed despite myself. I was feeling like my feet were not really touching the ground at all. And it was this that was making me feel like I was flying. I had never walked at a speed like that before.</p><p>Believe it or not, I kept feeling like flying at the same speed for full three hours. And dot at 6 o&#8217; clock, I ended up at the restaurant where we had decided to meet.</p><p>What happened during the meeting was beyond my wildest imagination, but that&#8217;s not what we&#8217;re concerned with in this memoir.</p><p>Later I looked for references in literature resembling the state I had been subjected to. There I came to discover it might have been a spurt of serotonin release in the brain. It was this hormone that had made me leap into the state I had been in for full three hours.</p><p>I kept thinking if we could release serotonin at will. Our body is a storehouse&nbsp; of all kinds of possible miracles whether you categorize them under materialistic or vitalistic approach. Why don&#8217;t we unearth them and make them an integral part of our life at will?</p><p>Back to my renewed resolve of cracking the code of instant kundalini awakening or else establishing gut-brain communication whatever it could be!</p><p>As per my assertion, once chakras were opened, the energy should have risen upward through the spine on its own. But it didn&#8217;t. I kept thinking why but couldn&#8217;t break through the puzzle. I tried my best doing all kinds of supportive maneuvers but nothing really worked. It was a kind of maze I had been thrown into, unable to discover my way out of it.</p><p>Incidentally, as I was groping with it, I happened to visit Kodaikanal in Tamilnadu and fell in love with its natural environment. I enjoyed my walks through its wooded areas in Pine Forest. Someone suggested me to visit Mannavanur in the vicinity. So one of those days, I headed my way to that village. It was a real marvel of unspoiled nature with terraced fields all around. I strolled around the local habitation trying to soak the culture of the place and clicking its visual beauty. A young boy in the village seemed interested in the photographs I was clicking and kind of befriended me. I showed him all the photos and videos of his village I had taken which he really seemed to love. He offered me to show some more scenic places to click. I welcomed him and took him along. I also let him click a few snaps and record a few videos. He really felt excited as he recorded all those scenic spots himself.</p><p>The boy took me home as he planned to make a video of his house as well. I happily followed him. He showed this video recording of his house to his neighbors who enthusiastically requested him to record their houses too. We were mostly interacting using the sign language interspersed with a few well-known words in between as we didn&#8217;t understand each other&#8217;s language.</p><p>It had almost become the lunch time by now. I asked him where I could eat. He enthusiastically offered me to have lunch with him in his house which I readily agreed to. He served me with the food cooked by his mother. There were quite a few dishes along with fresh salads which he had plucked fresh from his kitchen garden outside his house. I noticed a few dried mushrooms interspersed in the mix of fresh salad. I looked at him with questioning eyes. He iterated their name &#8216;Mannavanur Magic Mushroom&#8217; and picked up one to start chewing it praising their taste with a shaking sign joining his thumb with his index finger. I followed suit and kept eating the traditional tasty food of Mannavanur that his mother had cooked.</p><p>By the time we finished eating, I felt my head had started reeling. I looked toward my host who was smiling and making a circle with his index finger. He again iterated &#8216;Mannavanur Magic Mushroom&#8217; and closed his eyes half expressing the feeling of joy he was having. I immediately followed his cue and switched my psyche to the mode of acceptance. The way he had iterated its name made me understand he intended introducing me to some special local gift of Mannavanur. I closed my eyes half as well and started focusing on what I was feeling.</p><p>I started getting a moving visual in front of my mind&#8217;s eye. It was a kind of narrow white-colored wave in the shape of saw-teeth originating somewhere in my gut and slowly widening as it moved up to my head. As soon as it reached my head, it slowly faded to immediately reappear as the same narrow wave in my gut moving up widening itself as it reached the head and slowly faded again to repeat the same moving visual every time. And it was this that was making my head reel. But this reeling wasn&#8217;t feeling scary at all. It was rather enjoyable though it was making me feel that there was something that was obstructing the widening wave as it reached my head.</p><p>My absolute focus was automatically centered in a dynamic manner moving along with the movement of the widening wave every time. I realized that my breathing had gone very rhythmic moving in and out with the moving wave. As I inhaled, the widening wave moved down from my head to my gut in the shape of the narrow wave back. As I exhaled, it kept moving up widening its periphery until it reached the head again making it feel reeling.</p><p>I felt like it was giving me a signal that something was hindering its widening further as it reached the head. I also felt like it was talking to me in the language of the moving visual and my head feeling reeling. It further felt like it was appealing to my conscious awareness of my dynamic focus to break my boundaries in order for it to expand itself further upward as it reached my head with my exhalation. Surprisingly, every time when the expanding wave reached my head, my conscious feeling focused at my pelvic bed toward the pubis. I, with my conscious feeling, too felt like expanding below the pelvis including my legs downward to the soles of my feet merging them all together.</p><p>&#8220;How do I do that?&#8221; as if I asked to myself. I immediately realized that it was actually a conversation going on between my conscious self and my deeper inner self in this visual language. My deeper self was trying to converse with my conscious self through making it feel the hurdles in the way of expanding further.</p><p>Hours had passed by now but they just didn&#8217;t feel like hours at all. It was like time had stopped moving further. Only the needles of my watch were moving!</p><p>&#8220;How do I do that?&#8221; I again asked to my deeper self.</p><p>I don&#8217;t know who said these words but they immediately impinged on to my conscious mind, saying, &#8220;Let go.&#8221;</p><p>What was I holding on to? What was I not letting go?</p><p>I again &#8216;heard&#8217; the same words through impinging on to my conscious mind, &#8220;Let go.&#8221;</p><p>It was every time while exhaling that the same two words were impinging on to my conscious mind. I took the cue and let the air go exhaling further consciously. To my utter surprise, I was very efficiently able to throw the air out of my lungs until they couldn&#8217;t do it further.</p><p>And lo, the expanding waves kept expanding further up above my head as I, with my conscious feeling, too felt merging my total body from the soles of my feet below to the top of my head above. It turned into one single entity with its every part communicating with every other part. This communication was in its own language of energy flowing all through every single pore of my body energizing it with an extreme sense of joy, especially in my entire head as well as all around my genitals.</p><p>I inhaled all the exhaled air back which it did without taking any more time than its previous inhalations unlike the time it had taken in exhaling itself out the last time. I kept breathing with the same pattern for a while. And every time it worked through sending a smooth surge of perceivable energy rising up my spine to the top of my head and expanding further up from there merging my total body from the soles of my feet below to the top of my head above with every single breath. Every time my entire body turned into one single entity with its every part communicating with every other part. And every time this communication was in its own language of energy flowing all through every single pore of my body energizing it with an extreme sense of joy, especially in my entire head as well as all around my genitals.</p><p>I had cracked the code of instant kundalini awakening or else establishing gut-brain communication whatever it could be! It wasn&#8217;t important what it was to be called. The thing which was important was that every single breath was able to send a smooth surge of perceivable energy rejuvenating every single pore of my body, mind and soul energizing it with an extreme sense of joy.</p><p>The code was not only instant for once alone but it was also repeating itself with the same intensity with every single breath every single time. This was what we call energy oneness, I realized.</p><p>Download the code of instant kundalini awakening / establishing gut-brain communication in the &#8216;Resources&#8217; section of SKELETAL LEAP BOOK 1, available on: <a href="https://www.skeletalleap.com/themindbodyconnection">skeletalleap.com/themindbodyconnection</a></p><p>I opened my eyes. It had already gone dark all around. I looked at my host and found him smiling. I didn&#8217;t know what all he had gone through all this while, but what he had unknowingly gifted me was a priceless treasure for the entire humanity.</p><p>I spent my night in the same house and took his leave in the early morning thanking him for all he had done for me. As I reached Kodaikanal back, I realized I didn&#8217;t even know his name but then I felt it didn&#8217;t even matter. What mattered was what had happened all along.</p><p>Thanks for listening to this episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure! In the next episode, I will tell you how I cracked the code of instant central fixation of the body.</p><p>Be a part of Skeletal Leap Community! Subscribe to Skeletal Leap Newsletter.

improvement, which led him to explore the depths of the chakra system. </p><p>He explains that the chakras are anatomical distortions in the joints, muscles, nerves and blood vessels that, when closed, can hinder the flow of life energy throughout the body. </p><p>By opening these closed chakras, particularly the sixth and the seven chakras, he has not only improved his eyesight but also achieved a state of mental clarity and emotional healing. </p><p>Throughout the episode, listeners will learn about the anatomical connections of the skull, how the temporomandibular joint plays a crucial role in opening the skull chakra, and the importance of aligning the body and mind for a holistic approach to health. </p><p>Laadi emphasizes that the journey of chakra opening is not just about physical benefits but also about achieving a deeper understanding of oneself and the universe. </p><p>One of the most fascinating insights shared in this episode is the relationship between the third eye and the crown chakras. </p><p>Laadi explains that while the third eye offers sharp perception and clarity, the crown chakra provides a broader, empathetic view of life. </p><p>Together, they create a powerful synergy that enhances both vision and insight. </p><p>Listeners will also be inspired by Laadi&#8217;s reflections on the meditative state he experiences when his mind is clear, allowing him to fully engage with the present moment. </p><p>He describes how this state of awareness leads to a lighter mind, free from the burdens of past emotional memories and future anxieties. </p><p>If you are seeking to enhance your spiritual journey and unlock your potential, this episode is an invaluable resource. </p><p>Laadi invites you to explore the depths of your consciousness and discover the transformative power of the chakra system. </p><p>Don&#8217;t miss out on this enlightening discussion; tune in now and take the first step toward your personal heaven. </p><p>For more

happened that I didn&#8217;t have anything in my mind except for seeing what I was looking at or hearing what I was listening to.</p><p>My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to &#8220;Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure&#8221;. Skeletal Leap transforms one&#8217;s life into a personal heaven.</p><p>Today&#8217;s episode will tell you how I cracked the codes of instant third eye chakra and crown chakra opening.</p><p>I had started my coincidental journey cracking the code of instant vision improvement and discovered that I had actually stumbled upon something bigger than instant vision improvement alone. It was actually the ancient chakra system that esoterically talked about 7 chakras blocking the flow of life energy from the 1st chakra to the 7th one through the human spine. It also talked (though esoterically) about opening all 7 of them to crack more codes concerning various other issues that humanity faced.</p><p>What I had stumbled upon were the 6th and the 7th chakras located in the skull which I had somehow coincidentally maneuvered in order to crack the code of instant vision improvement alone. Therefore after having cracked the code of instant vision improvement, I had decided to go deep within the entire system with an intention of denuding it of its esoteric garbs and cracking the codes of instant chakra openings individually in a tangible manner as opposed to its intangible approach for doing the same.</p><p>By now, I had already done it up to the first 5 chakras. At this juncture, I decided to go deeper into the opening of 6th and 7th chakras in the skull to check if it could do something more than just cracking the code of instant vision improvement alone.</p><p>I moved on to further investigate into cracking the codes of instant third eye and crown chakra opening in their depth. I had already done it up to a certain level through maneuvering the alignment of my upper and lower jaws. I wanted to check if having opened the 5 lower chakras would make any difference in that maneuver or not.</p><p>In the beginning, I checked it for the third eye chakra alone. It worked perfectly well as far as the eyesight clarity achieved by incomplete central fixation of the eyes was concerned. But I witnessed a difference in my effort to open it. It was like my jaws were waiting for a slight cue with their incisors in the center to get aligned to each other. There was much less effort involved in doing so this time. I discovered it was because my open throat chakra had already prepared a ground for them developing a tendency in them to align at the slightest cue.</p><p>It really encouraged me to check for the complete central fixation of the eyes involving the crown chakra along. Again I witnessed a similar difference in my effort to open it. It didn&#8217;t even tire me as much as it used to do before after a certain gap of time. In fact, even that gap of time had extended considerably in this case of involving the crown chakra along.</p><p>This confirmed my hypothesis that an open throat chakra really prepared a ground for my jaws developing a tendency in them to align in their total width at the slightest cue. It meant that the skull chakras were getting a support from the torso chakras in order to open. In fact, C3 vertebra is known to have an anatomical connection with mandible in the skull.</p><p>There was one more difference that I noticed. In both the cases including the third eye chakra alone and the crown chakra along, they had started opening more effectively. The clarity of the eyesight as well as the luster in my eyes had increased considerably.</p><p>I could clearly feel the muscles in my skull getting relaxed including frontalis (on the forehead) and occipitalis (at the back of the head) when I opened my third eye chakra alone. And when I added the crown chakra in my opening procedure, the feeling of relaxation extended to temporalis muscles on both sides of my skull just above the earlobes. As this happened, my neck started rotating in 180 degrees without any sign of rigidity in it.</p><p>As the relaxation increased, it started affecting my psyche as well. The clarity of the eyesight started getting translated to the clarity of thinking with my confusions getting dissolved on their own. I felt I was able to take my decisions on the spur of the moment without ever having to look back at them. It was like my mind had started getting lighter and lighter via throwing all the heavy feelings off. It was much less stuffed with the emotional memories of the past and even the emotional imaginations about the future.</p><p>At times, it even happened that I didn&#8217;t have anything in my mind except for seeing what I was looking at or hearing what I was listening to. At such moments, I just lost the sense of time passing by. It was quite meditative in itself. I realized my physical maneuvers had started opening up my mental and spiritual dimensions as well.</p><p>And then I discovered something extremely surprising. One day I felt I hadn&#8217;t been breathing for long. As I actually focused at it, I realized my breathing had gone so slow that I had mistakenly started feeling I hadn&#8217;t been breathing for long. I was certainly breathing but it had gone almost imperceptible. As I consciously started perceiving it, I felt the air passing while inhaling through my upper nostrils creating an extremely pleasurable sensation with all its aroma along.</p><p>It spelt ultimate peace in my mind as well as a greatly enhanced sensitivity in my spirit.</p><p>But it was at this point that I again got stuck. I instinctually as well as intuitively knew there was much more to it and it wasn&#8217;t supposed to be a full stop at this point.</p><p>The reason?</p><p>I had gone through quite a few random experiences in the past either at the level of being a witness to them or else at the level of being the experiencer myself. I had seen as well as witnessed energy spontaneously bursting out instantaneously for a few moments or else in a cool gradual flow for hours together. Both of them had been equally satiating experiences. I needed an answer to them through analyzing them first in order to be able to synthesize them later. It was exactly like I had done with chakras up to this point of my involvement in them.</p><p>I strongly felt that if chakras were blocking the flow of life-energy, opening them couldn&#8217;t have been limited to establishing them as a panacea alone. The story wasn&#8217;t supposed to end here at such a cool point of resolving all the various health issues so quietly. It certainly needed to have some exciting climaxes in the domain of energy dealing with the kinds of miracles that we occasionally witness though rarely so.</p><p>And I was so sure about this instinctual or intuitive feeling of mine simply because I myself had experienced them in my own body more than occasionally.</p><p>I again decided to keep my patience and let things unfold as they would, in the due course of time exactly like my previous episodes had born fruit while cracking the codes of instant eyesight improvement and instant chakra openings individually.</p><p>At this point, let me enlist the main features of the skull muscles and the only movable joint in the skull with their anatomy and physiology below.</p><p>The skull of the Homo sapiens is freely balanced on the vertebral column at its first vertebra named Atlas supported by the next 6 cervical vertebrae, especially the second one named Axis, denoted together by the letter C (for cervical) and the number 1 (for first) as C1 and number 2 (for second) as C2.</p><p>Occipital condyles maintain the balance of the vertebral column dynamically. This is the main reason a human head can be postured erect even without the prominent supraorbital ridges and strong muscular attachments that are necessary in apes. As a result, frontalis and occipitalis muscles are only used for facial expressions and central fixation of the eyes. The spinal cord, as an extension of the medulla oblongata, enters the vertebral column through foramen magnum, an occipital bone opening.</p><p>The size of the human brain has also played a very big role in bipedal evolution. It&#8217;s 3-4 times larger, for its body size, than that of its nearest evolutionary relative, chimpanzee.</p><p>The skull acts as a protective cavity for the brain. It houses the majority of the sense organs including eyes, ears, nose and tongue along with skin which is the most sensitive on its lips. It has two parts to it, the neurocranium and membranous viscerocranium with the mandible as the latter&#8217;s largest bone. Numerous flat bones are fused together as sutures to give the human skull its shape. The mandible is the only major movable bone that engages with the neurocranium via temporomandibular joints.</p><p>In Episode 3, I had written about the third eye chakra and the crown chakra coming into existence due to bipedal evolution. I had also explained how to open them by maneuvering the temporomandibular joints in the same Episode. I will repeat them here in the end of this Episode.</p><p>At a future point in my memoir further, it might be useful to touch upon the mind and how it got structured in Homo sapiens by the third eye and the crown chakras that arose from bipedal evolution. I will also describe the role of the only movable joint - the temporomandibular joint - of the skull in opening these chakras, thereby emptying the mind as I discovered it later.</p><p>Symptoms that point to the existence of the closed third eye and crown chakras mainly include problems in one&#8217;s vision, chronic headaches and signs of stress.</p><p>An open third eye chakra is characterized by a sharp perception. Similarly an open crown chakra is characterized by a deep empathetic insight into life.</p><p>The two of them are very similar to each other with only one difference between them. An open crown chakra can see the macro view of what an open third eye chakra sees only the micro version. In other words, what an open third eye chakra can see in one single degree, the crown chakra does in 270.</p><p>In fact, as I discovered, there are two types of visual central fixation possible.</p><p>One is associated with an open third eye chakra alone, providing a crystal clear, bright and sharp tunnel vision aka perception. It&#8217;s achieved by relaxing the frontalis muscle while accommodating with the help of occipitalis. Everything out of this tunnel is blurred and dull.</p><p>The other one is associated with both, an open crown chakra and an open third eye chakra together. This central fixation provides a crystal clear, bright, sharp, wide vision including peripheral vision, perception and empathy. It&#8217;s achieved by relaxing both, the frontalis and the temporalis muscles while accommodating with the help of occipitalis. In my personal opinion, this has been my biggest discovery in the chakra discipline.</p><p>In the latter type of central fixation, the eyes turn bright and charmingly lustrous. I call this lustrous shine the real &#8216;smize&#8217;, meaning smiling with the eyes.</p><p>Also, the sharpness of the eyesight is closely linked with an insight into life. The brain&#8217;s perception needs to be aided by the recording tool that is a sharp eye. In other words, a clear vision in the eye leads to a clear worldview&nbsp;as well. Therefore, we must really say that our eyes are the real windows to the brain and not to the mind! &nbsp; &nbsp;</p><p>That&#8217;s why the third eye chakra has been assigned two iconic petals whereas the crown chakra has been assigned full one thousand! And that is why the crown chakra is called the king of all chakras.</p><p>Finally, I came up cracking the codes of instant third eye chakra and crown chakra opening!</p><p>Download the codes of instant third eye chakra opening and instant crown chakra opening in the &#8216;Resources&#8217; section of SKELETAL LEAP BOOK 1, available on: skeletalleap.com/themindbodyconnection</p><p>Let&#8217;s not forget that caveat here! The crown chakra cannot be effectively opened unless third eye chakra is already open.</p><p>Thanks for listening to this episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!

transformative journey into the world of chakras, focusing primarily on the throat chakra. </p><p>The throat chakra, or Vishuddha, is often overlooked, yet it plays a crucial role in our ability to communicate and express ourselves. Laadi expertly delves into the anatomy and physiology of the throat chakra, linking it to our emotional and physical well-being. </p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.laadiojas.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading SKELETAL LEAP: The Mind Body Connection!

He explains that the distortion of C5 and C6 vertebrae&#8212;often caused by poor posture&#8212;can lead to a closed throat chakra, which in turn affects our vocal cords and communication abilities. By understanding these connections, we can begin to unlock our potential for better interaction and storytelling. </p><p>One of the key takeaways from this episode is the importance of empathy in communication. Laadi emphasizes that an open heart chakra is essential for genuine interaction. When we approach conversations with an open heart, we become more sensitive to others, enabling deeper connections. </p><p>He also highlights the need to listen more than we speak, as true communication is not just about conveying our thoughts but also about understanding others. Moreover, Laadi introduces practical techniques to open the throat chakra, such as proper posture and muscle activation. </p><p>He discusses the role of the deltoid and pectoralis muscles in achieving this alignment, making it clear that physical health is intertwined with emotional expression. By stabilizing our shoulder blades and aligning our collarbones, we can create a foundation for effective communication and emotional health. </p><p>As we explore the significance of the throat chakra, it becomes evident that it acts as a gateway to our other torso chakras. </p><p>Laadi reveals that opening the throat chakra not only enhances our vocal communication but also supports the functioning of the heart chakra and other chakras below it. This interconnectedness underscores the importance of a holistic approach to well-being. </p><p>Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own communication styles and consider how they can improve their interactions with others. By embracing the insights shared in this episode, we can enrich our lives and the lives of those around us. </p><p>Laadi&#8217;s revelations about the throat chakra serve as a reminder that effective communication is not just a skill but an art that can be cultivated. </p><p>Don&#8217;t miss out on this enlightening episode! Tune in to learn how to crack the code of instant throat chakra opening and transform your interactions into vibrant stories filled with empathy and connection.</p><h2>Unblock Your Throat Chakra

world, they go a step further in a wrong and unhealthily dangerous way. Why does it matter?</p><p>My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to &#8220;Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure&#8221;. Skeletal Leap transforms one&#8217;s life into a personal heaven.</p><p>Today&#8217;s episode will tell you how I cracked the code of instant throat chakra opening.</p><p>From pectoralis muscles including pectoralis major and pectoralis minor, I moved on to deltoid muscle now. I was trying to crack the code of instant throat chakra opening.</p><p>Contrary to the heart chakra distorting the cervical vertebral posturing caused by emotions generating muscular armor, the throat chakra distorted C5 and C6 posturing caused by the action of gravity on the shoulders. It made them drop down rather than getting tucked in.</p><p>How did I reach this conclusion?</p><p>I took my cue from quadrupeds posturing their upper torso along with their upper limbs. As we turned bipeds, we took our upper limbs up in the air postured by the rotation of the humerus through deltoid muscles. And as gravity pulled the shoulders down, the humerus that was attached to them turned its angle 90 degree clockwise in its horizontal orientation on both sides. This made the entire upper limbs rotate 90 degree clockwise with their palms facing each other rather than facing backward as they were designed. As it became habitual, it distorted C5 and C6 thus closing the throat chakra.</p><p>C5 and C6 have anatomical connections with thyroid and cricoid cartilages. The function of thyroid cartilage is protecting the vocal cords lying behind it. The function of the cricoid cartilage is providing attachments to cricothyroid muscle,&nbsp;posterior cricoarytenoid muscle&nbsp;and&nbsp;lateral cricoarytenoid muscle. These muscles and cartilages affect the speech through opening and closing the&nbsp;airway. Moreover the changes in the angle between thyroid and cricoid cartilages change the pitch of voice.</p><p>The dropping down of the shoulders brings a number of other habitual postural changes in the upper torso including the orientation of the shoulder blades and collar bones.</p><p>And it was the orientation of the shoulder blades that I was looking for while cracking the code of instant heart chakra opening. I had actually got stuck while maneuvering my shoulder blades with the help of pectoralis minor as it hadn&#8217;t made me as sensitive there as relaxing pectoralis major had done to my chest.</p><p>In the army training throughout the world, they go a step further in a wrong and unhealthily dangerous way. They train soldiers in tucking the chest &#8216;out&#8217; while the shoulders are still drooping down. It orients the shoulder blades bringing them closest at their lower extremities. No one has yet analyzed that it turns them aggressively violent rather than passively timid. But it has been serving their purpose of turning their soldiers&nbsp;&#8216;brave&#8217; even if violently and they are happy with it.</p><p>But when I rotated my upper limbs through activating the scapular fibers of deltoid like in rowing movement, the orientation of the shoulder blades perfectly fell in place maneuvering them closest to each other at their upper extremities. It now perfectly matched my sensitivity through stabilizing my shoulder blades to the empathetic sensitivity at my pectoralis major through protruding my chest by spreading my shoulders out to do away with my inward tuck.</p><p>It had also aligned the collar bones with the neck on both sides rather than running perpendicular to it. Pectoralis minor and deltoid muscles had done a wonderful job in collaboration with each other to turn the entire upper back equally sensitive at all its locations. In other words, the heart chakra and the throat chakra had done this wonderful job in collaboration with each other. This confirmed that these two chakras were the part of the upper torso chakra group supporting each other.</p><p>Let me talk here a little bit about developing the skills of communication which is the hallmark of an open throat chakra. The communication skill in the context of throat chakra is basically a vocal expression of the instinct of interaction through a tool called language. It&#8217;s a highly specialized skill that humans alone have developed in their tongues with the help of vocal cords through their evolved brains to interact in a deeply subtle manner. When we utilize it properly, it rewards us with sharing our life experiences in their full depth with one another.</p><p>Why does it matter?</p><p>It matters because it fills our life with colors. The better we are in communicating with others, the more interesting a person do we come out as. Everyone feels like interacting with such a person. The more we interact, the more stories get added to our life journey. These stories are the essence of our life.</p><p>Whenever we interact with a stranger, we add a new story enriching our life. Not only our own life but the life of the stranger as well! Who knows which interaction takes you where you have never been before!</p><p>How do we do so? How do we communicate better and interact deeper? For this to happen, we need to be interested in the person first of all.</p><p>Are we? We need our heart chakra to be open for this. If it is, we are sensitive to what the person has in store to interact with us. It spontaneously turns us empathetic to them. The communication of empathy doesn&#8217;t even need language for it. When it&#8217;s there, it radiates with every single action we do. It&#8217;s, in fact, the highest form of love that radiates from one&#8217;s mere presence.</p><p>The second condition is that we should be interested in what the other person wants to interact about. Are we choosy or are we open enough to listen to whatever the other person feels like interacting about? It again comes from the sensitivity that an open heart chakras provides us with.</p><p>The third condition is that we need to listen more than we speak. We again need an open heart chakras for being able to do that.</p><p>It&#8217;s not the quantity of how much we speak but the quality of what we speak and how we speak that adds to the quality of interaction. For this we need an open throat chakra at our disposal.</p><p>When we need to speak, we need doing so with a passionate voice. The quality of voice matters a lot. If it&#8217;s passionate, it echoes with reverberations in it. These reverberations tell that we are feeling the person to the depth of their heart. It goes contagious. The other person feels us to the depth of our heart as well. It certainly requires an open throat chakra.</p><p>Also when we need to speak during the interaction, the language that we use needs not only to be logically to the point but also passionately so. It needs to speak its own story as an excellent piece of art. It&#8217;s the beauty of the throat chakra to be able to create that art while we speak.</p><p>There is nothing more colorful than a satiating interaction in life. We need to open our heart and throat chakras to make our life colorful in every sense.</p><p>I had successfully cracked the code of instant throat chakra opening!</p><p>Download the code in the &#8216;Resources&#8217; section of SKELETAL LEAP BOOK 1, available on: skeletalleap.com/themindbodyconnection</p><p>As I opened my throat chakra, there was one more thing that I discovered. And this one was even more valuable than strengthening the vocal communication channel. I realized that opening the throat chakra not only completed the instinctual physiology of its adjacent heart chakra located just below it in its own group but also did the same to all the torso chakras located below it in the most perfect manner.</p><p>It was a striking revelation that made me realize that the throat chakra was actually the king of all the 5 torso chakras, exactly like the crown chakra is said to be the king of all 7 chakras. It told me that we cannot ignore opening this chakra not only for opening this one alone but also for perfectly opening the rest four of them below it in the torso. It made the complete torso group of chakras a super group comprising the lower torso chakra group and the upper torso chakra group.</p><p>Also, the open throat chakra creates a support base raising the levels of C3, C2 (axis) and C1 (atlas) supporting the skull at a higher level from below. Hence it prepares a ground for the skull chakras to open way more easily than it would have been possible without the said support base. I will explain it in greater detail in my next episode telling my story of opening the skull chakras finally once again after having them opened in the very beginning of my venture of cracking the code of instant eyesight improvement. Actually, that was the coincidental leap that this entire journey had started with.</p><p>Owing to all the above-mentioned revelations, the throat chakra certainly deserves to be given the status of the second most important chakra to open in the human body.</p><p>Anyway, though it&#8217;s tougher than the rest of the chakras below it, we still need to make the code of instant throat chakra opening our first nature by keeping the above-mentioned new orientations in place 24 x 7. These include the following ones among them. The palms of the hands start facing backward like they were designed to do. The shoulder blades get stabilized with their upper extremities maneuvered closest to each other. Collar bones get perfectly aligned with the neck on both sides. It also turns the entire torso absolutely taut complementing the rest four torso chakras below it opening them in an absolute manner. And the most important thing is that the shoulders raise themselves against gravity, increasing the effective length of the entire vertebral column with both its double S shapes intact. This also raises the levels of C3, C2 (axis) and C1 (atlas) supporting the skull at a higher level from below.</p><p>At this point, let me enlist the main features of deltoid muscle including its anatomy and physiology below.</p><p>Innervated by auxiliary nerve from the anterior rami of the cervical nerves at C5 and C6, the deltoid is located on the shoulder. It comprises three sets of muscle fibers&#8230;</p><p><strong>Anterior (clavicular) -</strong> fibers assist pectoralis major to flex the shoulder.</p><p><strong>Posterior (scapular) -</strong> fibers assist latissimus dorsi to extend the shoulder like in rowing movements.</p><p><strong>Intermediate (acromial) -</strong> fibers perform shoulder abduction. </p><p>Out of these three, only the posterior or scapular fibers keep their associated vertebral upper S shape intact at the C5 and C6 vertebrae. The other two tend to turn it into an inverted C shape. Also, when we stretch our body for relaxation, the posterior fibers perform alone.</p><p>Hence it&#8217;s logical to deduce that the action by the posterior fibers is the most relaxed state of the muscle. When we make it our first nature, it keeps the throat chakra open.</p><p>But when we keep it postured in any other way, it closes the throat chakra. It does so by turning the upper S shape of the C5 - C6 vertebrae into an inverted C shape.</p><p>The action by the posterior fibers is also the one that brings the top ends of the scapulae closest to each other. It also aligns the collarbones along the neck giving it a 180-degree freedom. And this freedom that the head experiences on the neck facilitates the opening of the throat chakra, which then becomes ready to open the next chakras (i.e. the ones in the skull). It opens our pathways to intelligence and logical communication. But if it&#8217;s closed, it corrupts our communication and logical comprehension.</p><p>Symptoms of a closed throat chakra include sore throat, stiff neck, fear of speaking out, hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.</p><p>As usual, there is the same caveat here as well. You guessed it right! The throat chakra cannot be effectively opened unless the root, sacral, solar plexus and heart chakras below it are already open.</p><p>Thanks for listening to this episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!

always comes with responsibility and this responsibility is there to take care of the vulnerability that comes along.</p><p>My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to &#8220;Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure&#8221;. Skeletal Leap transforms one&#8217;s life into a personal heaven.</p><p>Today&#8217;s episode will tell you how I cracked the code of instant heart chakra opening.</p><p>I moved up along the vertebral column through its thoracic vertebrae along the upper back now. I could easily sense its posteriorly convex (or anteriorly concave) curve along all the 12 vertebrae in this section. As it was an anteriorly concave curve, it never tended to distort its shape via any postural maneuver. But the cervical section with its 7 vertebrae of the neck just above the thoracic section did so. The problem was that this section too, although highly mobile, tended to be postured like an inverted C which it was not supposed to be. It was actually supposed to posture posteriorly concave in order to complete the upper S shape of the double S shaped vertebral column.</p><p>I tried to maneuver various joints with the help of their associated muscles in the vicinity including the shoulder and the skull joints. What I discovered was that the shoulder joint maneuvers affected the subsection comprising lower cervical vertebrae C4, C5, C6 and C7 alone. Above these, the subsection comprising C1 (atlas), C2 (axis) and C3 changed their curve with the movements of the skull joints alone.</p><p>It was an eye-opener for me. I focused my attention on the lower subsection first. I was on my way to crack the code of instant heart chakra opening. I needed to pinpoint the muscles which were changing the shape of the lower cervical subsection comprising C4, C5, C6 and C7 vertebrae.</p><p>I felt my shoulders were habitually dropped down and tucked in. First, I spread them out to do away with my inward tuck. I felt my chest protruding out taking my arms away from my torso with this maneuver. It felt like opening up to my surroundings. It also felt like turning vulnerable to the effects of those surroundings. Even simply taking my arms away from my torso had the same effect on my chest that protruded out provided the three lower torso chakras were already open.</p><p>Was I scared of turning vulnerable? I felt so. And that must have been the reason I had unconsciously generated a muscular armor isolating myself for my perceived safety in my psyche. It was like the posture we adopt while saving ourselves from our competitor&#8217;s punch in a boxing ring. But it wasn&#8217;t the feeling of being vulnerable alone. It was also a feeling of freedom coming from doing away with my muscular armor held in place as a habit. I felt I needed to realize that I wasn&#8217;t in a combat with a competitor in a boxing ring.</p><p>I realized how emotions played their role in debilitating our body posture through unconsciously perceiving an imaginary threat that wasn&#8217;t there in reality at all. These emotions are actually stupid. And in their pursuit to keep us safe, they keep us isolated inside the shell created by the resulting muscular armors turning us insensitive toward our fellow humans. In fact, they turn us slaves to our own unconscious imaginary fears.</p><p>We tend to lose our capacity to interact with our fellow humans in a spontaneous manner which would have resulted in instinctually loving them and empathizing with them. It also gives rise to the feeling of keeping missing something all through our life which we are never able to realize what. It&#8217;s actually feeling lonely which almost all of us on earth are victims to.</p><p>Simply spreading my shoulders out to do away with my inward tuck gave me such a huge lot of insight in my psyche. It was all lying unconscious not only in my mind but in my body as well. That&#8217;s why I say that changes in the body have the capacity to bring changes in the mind exactly like changes in the mind bring changes in the body.</p><p>But still it hadn&#8217;t yet felt absolutely complete in its body maneuver as far as cracking the code of instant heart chakra opening was concerned. I could still breathe through my chest with the help of my intercostal muscles. And it was when I had already opened my solar plexus chakra turning my thoracic diaphragm relaxed in order to initiate diaphragmatic breathing. I should no more have the option of breathing through my chest open to me at all.</p><p>In fact, what I had done up to this point was relaxing my pectoralis major muscle via spreading my shoulders out to do away with my inward tuck. But there was something more to be done in order to complete the maneuver by locking my intercostal muscles while breathing.</p><p>Actually, I had ignored another part of pectoralis muscles named pectoralis minor. I needed to relax this one as well. And this was not to be done by spreading shoulders alone. I needed to stabilize my shoulder blades through bringing them closer to each other through protruding my chest out even further. That&#8217;s what happens when we open our arms full to hug someone we passionately love.</p><p>And as I did so, I discovered I was no more able to breathe from my chest with the help of my intercostal muscles at all. I was forced to breathe with my thoracic diaphragm deep. When I said deep, it meant both, a much longer inhalation and an equally long exhalation.</p><p>It completed cracking the code of instant heart chakra opening making me both, free as well as vulnerable.</p><p>Download the code of instant heart chakra opening in the &#8216;Resources&#8217; section of SKELETAL LEAP BOOK 1, available on: <a href="https://www.skeletalleap.com/themindbodyconnection">skeletalleap.com/themindbodyconnection</a></p><p>Let&#8217;s talk a little bit more about freedom and vulnerability coming together to me on opening my heart chakra here.</p><p>Freedom always comes with responsibility. And this responsibility is there to take care of the vulnerability that comes along. In terms of our body muscles, it means relaxing the ones which need to be relaxed and keeping them relaxed until a real threat is there to take care of. Please note that I am talking about a real threat and not a perceived imaginary threat that our mind often falls prey to.</p><p>Freedom comes through relaxation. On the other hand, responsibility comes through ever being ready for the worst simply because relaxation has turned us vulnerable. In my case, my mind had opted for safety rather than readiness, thus robbing me of my relaxed freedom. Such a postural stance always keeps us stressed all along except when we resign as a reaction to being over-stressed. This resignation is always irresponsible and turns our muscles lethargic in the name of getting relaxed.</p><p>Hence relaxation and readiness being there together is a responsible maneuver whereas stress and lethargy together is an irresponsible alternative. A really relaxed muscle is not only free of all stress but is also ready to jump into action instantly. On the other hand, a habitually contracted muscle is not only slave to all stress but is never really ready to jump into action instantly simply because stress always keeps it fatigued perennially. That&#8217;s why and how it turns irresponsible.</p><p>I realized that if I needed to be free, I needed to be responsible too. I didn&#8217;t need to be irresponsibly safe, I just needed to be responsibly ready for the worst.</p><p>But there was something left incomplete that was still haunting me. I wasn&#8217;t really feeling as free in the maneuver of my shoulder blades as I did in my chest muscles. It meant that relaxing pectoralis major had been perfectly complete but my pectoralis minor was still feeling something missing. It certainly gave me a feeling of freedom and joy but it hadn&#8217;t made me as sensitive there as it had done to my chest.</p><p>I kept wondering what the reason could have been. And then suddenly it struck to me that I was supposed to check the effect of opening my heart chakra in combination with another chakra in the upper torso. It was the throat chakra that I was thinking about. In fact in all its probability, these two chakras might have been the part of a group exactly like the three lower torso chakras are. I am talking about the root chakra, the sacral chakra and the solar plexus chakra that I had discovered being the parts of the lower torso chakra group.</p><p>Let me repeat it once again here. Here is the explanation&#8230;</p><p>Although we have 7 chakras in our body yet we cannot correctly open them in absolute isolation separately. We can certainly open them in three groups in order for each one of them opening properly via their instant opening codes.</p><p>The first group comprises the root, the sacral and the solar plexus chakras forming the lower torso group. The second group comprises the heart and the throat chakras forming the upper torso group. And the third group comprises the third eye and the crown chakras forming the skull chakra group.</p><p>Hence, the code of instant heart chakra opening was perfectly accurate although it needed to be opened in combination with the throat chakra. It was to avoid the shoulder blades to get postured closer to each other at their bottom ends or even equally between the bottom end and the top end.</p><p>The maneuver of their coming closer at their bottom ends felt to me like it was reducing my sensitivity to my surroundings including my fellow humans. I actually needed to match my sensitivity at pectoralis minor through stabilizing my shoulder blades to the empathic sensitivity at my pectoralis major through protruding my chest by spreading my shoulders out to do away with my inward tuck.</p><p>I decided to keep patience and wait for cracking the code of instant throat chakra opening. As these two chakras seemed to be the parts of a group, It would resolve the issue in all its probability, I hoped.</p><p>Opening my heart chakra had gifted me with all these insights to my psyche along with a relaxed state of my body which was always ready to jump into action instantly. It was done through maneuvering my pectoralis muscles including both, pectoralis major and pectoralis minor. Hence I decided to enlist their anatomy and physiology below.</p><p>Innervated by the lateral pectoral nerve (C5 - C7) and the medial pectoral nerve (C8 - T1), pectoral muscles have two parts&#8230;</p><ul><li><p><strong>Pectoralis major -</strong> flexes, extends and rotates humerus (the bone of the upper arm)</p></li><li><p><strong>Pectoralis minor -</strong> stabilizes the scapula (shoulder blade)</p></li></ul><p>Pectoralis major is a thick, fan-shaped convergent muscle located in the chest. Its functions are flexion, extension and rotation of the humerus.</p><p>It performs four movements for the shoulder joint&#8230;</p><ul><li><p>Flexion of the humerus like in heavy weight lifting while doing biceps curls</p></li><li><p>Adduction of the humerus like in arm-flapping</p></li><li><p>Rotating the humerus medially like in arm-wrestling</p></li><li><p>Keeping arms attached to torso like in military &#8220;attention&#8221; posture</p></li></ul><p>Out of the above four actions, only the second one keeps its associated vertebral upper S shape intact at the C8 spinal nerve - T1 vertebra. The same holds good for the C5 - C7 vertebrae. Its remaining three movements tend to turn it into an inverted C shape. Also, when we stretch our body for relaxation, it performs the second action alone.</p><p>Hence, it&#8217;s logical to deduce that the second action is the most relaxed state of the muscle. When we make it our first nature, it keeps the heart chakra open.</p><p>But when we keep it postured like in any of the other three actions, it closes the heart chakra. It does so by turning the upper S shape of the C8 spinal nerve - T1 vertebrae into an inverted C shape.</p><p>Pectoralis minor is a thin, triangular muscle located in the upper chest under the Pectoralis major muscle. It&#8217;s innervated by the medial pectoral nerve (C8 spinal nerve - T1 vertebra) alone.</p><p>Pectoralis minor is also able to stabilize scapulae when postured like in the aforementioned second action of the shoulder joint..</p><p>This second action is also the one that we adopt for hugging someone. And that&#8217;s how we know that an open heart chakra is concerned the most with love, kindness and compassion. If it&#8217;s closed, it leads to narrowness of the heart, keeping us emotionally isolated from our fellow humans on earth.</p><p>Symptoms that point to the existence of the heart chakra, like asthma, high blood pressure or hypertension, heart attack and heart failure, are all lifestyle diseases that stem from the heart chakra.</p><p>There is again a caveat here. Do you see a pattern repeating? The heart chakra cannot be effectively opened unless the root, sacral and solar plexus chakras below it are already opened.</p><p>Thanks for listening to this episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!

to lose belly fat is opening the solar plexus chakra in conjunction with the root and the sacral chakras.</p><p>My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to &#8220;Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure&#8221;. Skeletal Leap transforms one&#8217;s life into a personal heaven.</p><p>Today&#8217;s episode will tell you how I cracked the code of instant solar plexus chakra opening.</p><p>I needed to locate my next focus of attention where I could approach it biologically with my perception to feel it full.</p><p>The location of the solar plexus chakra as the name signifies is at the solar plexus.</p><p>The solar plexus aka celiac plexus is located in the vicinity of the thoracic diaphragm near the first lumbar vertebra in the vertebral column. It comprises&#8230;</p><ul><li><p><strong>Splanchnic nerves</strong> - paired visceral nerves with fibers from autonomic nervous system and organs innervating visceral organs</p></li><li><p><strong>Anterior vagal trunk</strong> - a branch of the vagus nerve with fibers from the left vagus primarily</p></li><li><p><strong>Posterior vagal trunk</strong> - a branch of vagus nerve with fibers from the right vagus primarily</p></li></ul><p>Solar plexus also comprises smaller plexuses within, namely&#8230;</p><ul><li><p><strong>Hepatic plexus</strong> - receiving filaments from left vagus and right phrenic nerves</p></li><li><p><strong>Splenic plexus</strong> - formed by the left celiac ganglion and the right vagus nerve</p></li><li><p><strong>Gastric plexus</strong> - joining branches from the left vagus nerve</p></li><li><p><strong>Pancreatic plexus</strong> - another solar plexus division</p></li><li><p><strong>Suprarenal plexus</strong> - receiving branches from the celiac ganglion and splanchnic nerves</p></li></ul><p>It plays an important role in the functioning of the stomach, kidneys, liver, and adrenal glands; thus justifying its title &#8216;The Digestive Factory&#8217;. Its close proximity to the thoracic diaphragm also signifies its role that it plays in regulating the diaphragmatic breathing pattern.</p><p>Solar plexus chakra arises from the L1 vertebra being dropped down and tucked in turning the lower S of the double S shaped spine curved posteriorly as an inverted C, thereby compressing the thoracic diaphragm along its periphery.</p><p>A closed solar plexus chakra acutely disturbs the breathing pattern, turning it shallow and speedier. It makes one prone to breathing-related illnesses. As a result, diffidence creeps into one&#8217;s persona causing one to lose their spirit of interaction, adventure and initiative.</p><p>It also compresses the vagus nerve and the splanchnic nerves distorting the anatomy of hepatic plexus, splenic plexus, gastric plexus, pancreatic plexus and suprarenal plexus along with the main solar plexus.</p><p>Belly fat leading to obesity owing to digestive problems, diabetes, liver problems, ulcers in the digestive tract, lower back pain, and breathing problems, including asthmatic symptoms that it shares with the diseases of the heart chakra are the lifestyle diseases that stem from the solar plexus chakra.</p><p>The solar plexus is rightly called the digestive factory of the body. It includes almost all the internal organs linked to digestion in one way or the other. That&#8217;s what we call gut. The gut function had always been the strongest part of my mind body system. I always had my metabolism fast, digestion exemplary, excretion regular and well-formed without any tendency to put on weight all through my life.</p><p>It should have meant that my solar plexus chakra was perfectly fine. But it wasn&#8217;t so. The reason was that my breathing wasn&#8217;t perfect. Like a major chunk of humanity, I too used to breathe with my chest using my intercostal muscles inhaling and exhaling little amounts of air. Though it never gave me any problem but I could improve it further tremendously. I will talk more about it later in this episode to discuss what I did to correct my breathing and set my solar plexus chakra perfectly fine.</p><p>Before that I want to discuss about the role of the solar plexus chakra in causing the problems of digestion and associated illnesses. There are lot many of them that have acquired the status of the most widespread lifestyle diseases all over the world. These include liver diseases, colitis, IBS, pancreas dysfunction causing diabetes, metabolic syndrome, kidney disease, chronic constipation, chronic diarrhea and the mother of them all named obesity.</p><p>Obesity is a debilitating condition of putting on excess fat on the body thereby disrupting health, fitness and wellness. It is quantitatively defined as body mass index (BMI) crossing 30 kilogram of body weight per meter square of height. The range between 25-30 kilogram per meter square of height is defined as overweight.</p><p>The condition is considered to be a breeding ground for cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, some specific cancers, osteoarthritis and even depression in a dialectical relationship with obesity.</p><p>Its major causative factors are dietary imbalance and physical inactivity along with others like genetics, excess medicinal intake, mental dysfunctions and endocrine disorders.</p><p>Right now, more than 42% Americans are obese. Also, the number of obese people has more than doubled in the last 30 years globally. By the year 2015, the US and China topped the list of obese populations. By the same year, China and India topped the list of countries with the largest numbers of obese children.</p><p>Obesity throughout the world has assumed a debilitating stature making its scale even larger than a pandemic. That&#8217;s why and how the weight loss business has become one of the most lucrative businesses the world over!</p><p>In general, it all starts with adding fat to the belly in the beginning. And the best way to lose belly fat is opening the solar plexus chakra in conjunction with the root and the sacral chakras. Doing so relaxes thoracic diaphragm turning the abdomen taut. If all these three chakras are open, it&#8217;s not possible for fat to get accumulated on the belly. If it&#8217;s already there, these three open chakras immediately start melting it right there. And as it is a 24 hour process, it loses belly fat much faster than any other weight loss method.</p><p>While cracking its code, I did a lot of research on breathing the right way and when I adopted the right way to breathe, it tremendously benefitted me.</p><p>There are three different breathing styles that people can adopt as a lifelong habit&#8230;</p><p><strong>Diaphragmatic breathing (Deep breathing) </strong>- is done by contracting thoracic diaphragm for inhaling air inside the lungs. It&#8217;s a muscle located between the thoracic and the abdominal cavities. It comprises slow and deep inhalation through the nose followed by slow and complete exhalation. Diaphragmatic breathing improves the blood flow as well as reduces pulse rate and blood pressure. It also relaxes the vagal nerve and optimizes sympathetic reaction resulting in a &#8216;fight or flight&#8217; response. It&#8217;s also one of the best cures for belly fat in particular and weight loss in general.</p><p><strong>Chest breathing</strong> - also called thoracic breathing or shallow breathing uses intercostal muscles drawing much less air into the lungs. The major chunk of humanity adopts this breathing style as a lifelong habit.</p><p><strong>Clavicular breathing</strong> - raises the shoulders and the collarbones (clavicles) while simultaneously contracting the abdomen for inhalation. Its process is a very tiring one and cannot be held for long durations of maximum air intake.</p><p>We must opt for diaphragmatic breathing alone. It&#8217;s not only because it takes the maximum air in. It&#8217;s also because diaphragmatic breathing alone can awaken Kundalini pushing it up after all the chakras go open.</p><p>During exhalation, the lungs are left with the functional residual capacity of air which occupies a volume of 2.5-3.0 liters. An extended exhalation can reduce it further to 1.0 liter, not more than that.</p><p>In other words, we may extend our exhalation so that the leftover air in the lungs is anywhere between this range of 1.0 to 2.5-3.0 liters.</p><p>Breathing becomes the perception of energy with every single exhalation as chakras are opened, removing all obstacles in its way. The way from the coccyx at the pelvis to the crown at the top of the head gets fully cleared.</p><p>I realized I wasn&#8217;t breathing using my thoracic diaphragm. I was rather breathing using my intercostal muscles on the sides of my chest. Actually it&#8217;s a widespread mistake that a major chunk of humanity makes with every single breath of theirs all over the world.</p><p>I also realized I wasn&#8217;t able to rectify my mistake even when I tried to do so. What had gone wrong with my thoracic diaphragm? Why wasn&#8217;t I able to inhale air using this muscle?</p><p>For the first time in my life, I felt my thoracic diaphragm was not relaxed, it was rather contracted habitually. And it wasn&#8217;t a habit of my mind, it was rather a habit of my body. How would I relax it? I further studied its role in breathing through inhaling and exhaling. I came to know that when thoracic diaphragm was contracted, it was already set in a mode of inhalation. Hence it couldn&#8217;t take any more air in. Whatever little air I was inhaling was coming in through my intercostal muscles. And they were doing so for inhaling as well as for exhaling the extra little air that they inhaled.</p><p>It meant that the lungs weren&#8217;t emptying themselves to their full capacity with chest breathing. How would they if the main muscle of exhalation was set in its contracted mode allowing inhalation alone? Full exhalation could only be achieved by relaxing the thoracic diaphragm. It meant I needed to relax my thoracic diaphragm. My mind couldn&#8217;t help me in doing that. To do so, I needed doing something to my body alone.</p><p>I took the cue from what I had done to my sacral chakra and raised my lumbar vertebrae up. But it didn&#8217;t pull thoracic diaphragm out of its contraction. Thoracic diaphragm had moved up when I pulled the lumbar vertebrae up but it was still contracted.</p><p>This time I pushed it back while it was up, thus pulling it &#8216;out&#8217;. And it worked. I felt a totally different sensation in the lowest part of my rib cage. It had let the air go out of my lungs suddenly. I felt I had lost control of that area at the bottom of my rib cage. It gave me a feeling of losing something. I felt the feeling of losing control wasn&#8217;t an easy thing to make peace with. My stupid mind was brooding over losing its control through keeping the muscle contracted for all the years I had lived with this contraction.</p><p>I slowly contracted it back and discovered that doing so filled my lungs with a lot of air inside them with one single inhalation. I hadn&#8217;t inhaled so deep ever before. I slowly relaxed thoracic diaphragm once again and discovered that my lungs were now able to empty themselves way more than ever before. I kept playing this inhaling and exhaling game for a while as it made me accept my new orientation making peace with losing my control over the trapped-in air inside my lungs.</p><p>It was a feeling of freedom. But it&#8217;s a fact that when slaves are freed from their slavery suddenly, they go hay wire needing time to accept their freedom. This was the kind of feeling I myself got as well.</p><p>There was something else that I discovered too. My root and sacral chakras had also completed their opening by the same maneuver. I felt I had suddenly jumped into instinctual domain of creativity in my psyche. With opening the sacral chakra alone, physically it had replaced the thrust of my body weight distribution on my pelvic bed from its tailbone end to the center of the pelvic bed. But after I opened the solar plexus chakra above it, the thrust of my body weight distribution on my pelvic bed moved from its tailbone end to the pubic end on the pelvic bed.</p><p>More so, it centered my entire body weight at a point around two inches below my belly button activating the central fixation of the body. It turned my entire abdominal area between the pelvis and thoracic diaphragm in a vertically stretched and perfectly taut stance. The entire maneuver automatically confirmed my earlier observation that if all these three chakras were open, it wasn&#8217;t possible for fat to get accumulated on the belly. And if it was already there, these three open chakras would immediately start melting it there. An abdomen with a vertically stretched and perfectly taut stance simply cannot accumulate fat on to it in any way possible.</p><p>It proved my assertion that the chakras working together as a group dialectically affect each other&#8217;s performance as well. At this point, let me repeat my explanation about this fact that I had given in the beginning of cracking the code of instant root chakra opening&#8230;</p><p>Although we have 7 chakras in our body yet we cannot correctly open them in absolute isolation separately. We can certainly do them in three groups in order for each one of them opening properly via their instant opening codes.</p><p>The first group comprises the root, the sacral and the solar plexus chakras forming the lower torso group. The second group comprises the heart and the throat chakras forming the upper torso group. And the third group comprises the third eye and the crown chakras forming the skull chakra group.</p><p>Download the code of instant solar plexus chakra opening in the &#8216;Resources&#8217; section of SKELETAL LEAP BOOK 1, available on: <a href="https://www.skeletalleap.com/themindbodyconnection">skeletalleap.com/themindbodyconnection</a></p><p>Like all other chakras, there is a caveat here as well.

Notes</h2><p>In the latest episode of our podcast, Laadi Ojas takes listeners on a profound journey into the world of chakras, focusing specifically on the sacral chakra. </p><p>This episode, titled &#8220;Opening Sacral Chakra: Chakra Healing Secrets REALLY Work&#8221; delves into the intricate relationship between our emotions, instincts, and physical well-being. </p><p>The sacral chakra, located at the base of the spine, plays a crucial role in our emotional and physical health. Laadi explains how a closed sacral chakra can lead to various lifestyle diseases, particularly those related to sexual dysfunction. </p><p>He emphasizes the importance of understanding the difference between emotions and instincts. While emotions are often fragmented and reside solely in the mind, instincts are holistic, encompassing both body and mind. </p><p>This distinction is vital for achieving a balanced and fulfilling life. Listeners will learn about the anatomy of the sacral plexus and its connection to the pelvic bed, which is essential for a healthy energy flow. </p><p>Laadi shares his personal insights on how he discovered the key to unlocking the sacral chakra and the interdependence of the sacral and root chakras. He argues that one cannot fully open the sacral chakra without first addressing the root chakra, highlighting the interconnectedness of our energy centers. </p><p>Throughout the episode, Laadi encourages listeners to reflect on their own emotional and instinctual experiences. He discusses how unfulfilled instincts can lead to negative emotions, creating a vicious cycle that impacts our overall health. </p><p>By addressing these issues, individuals can reclaim their passion and joy, leading to a more vibrant life. The episode also touches on the concept of kundalini energy, which is said to flow through Sushumna Nadi along the spinal cord, further emphasizing the importance of maintaining a healthy energy flow for optimal brain function. </p><p>Laadi&#8217;s insights provide a unique perspective on how our physical posture and mental state are intertwined, suggesting that by changing one, we can positively influence the other. Listeners are invited to join the Skeletal Leap Community and explore the resources available, including the &#8220;Code of Instant Sacral Chakra Opening.&#8221; </p><p>This episode is not only informative but also a call to action for anyone seeking to transform their life into a personal heaven. Don&#8217;t miss this enlightening discussion that promises to inspire and empower you on your journey toward self-discovery and holistic health.

Welcome to &#8220;Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure&#8221;. Skeletal Leap transforms one&#8217;s life into a personal heaven.</p><p>Today&#8217;s episode will tell you how I cracked the code of instant sacral chakra opening. </p><p>First of all, I looked for the exact location of the sacral chakra.</p><p>I easily found its location at the sacrum. It is a set of 5 fused sacral vertebrae just above the coccyx or the tailbone. It&#8217;s connected to the pelvis forming the posteriorly concave pelvic wall that strengthens the pelvic bed. Also, it forms a part of the lower S in the double S shaped vertebral column.</p><p>A closed sacral chakra happens when the nerves in the sacral plexus are subjected to long-term compression. It takes place through the dropping of the sacral vertebrae and the resulting distortion in the lower S of the double S shaped vertebral column.</p><p>Sacral plexus is a nerve plexus comprising sensory and motor nerves for the pelvis (partly), posterior thigh, lower leg and foot. It originates at the lumbar and sacral vertebrae namely L4 - S4. It&#8217;s a formation that comprises the Lumbosacral trunk, the anterior division of the first sacral nerve and the parts of the anterior divisions of the 2nd and 3rd sacral nerves.</p><p>The nerves of the sacral plexus meet at the greater sciatic foramen making a flattened band there. From here, new branches turn into the sciatic nerve, ultimately splitting into the tibial and fibular nerves in the posterior thigh.</p><p>Sacral plexus is positioned at the back of the pelvis and is fed by the superior and inferior gluteal arteries and veins.</p><p>Constant compression of the sacral plexus results in the suppression of the aesthetic sense of our instinctual structure. The roles of the root chakra and the sacral chakra are just the opposite of each other. The root chakra takes care of the basic survival and material safety or security. Conversely, the sacral chakra is concerned with whatever is beautiful in life and gives it a meaning. Its concerns, including curiosity, creativity, sexual drive and potency, fill the pursuit of life with joy and passion.</p><p>I observed all these concerns with an acute sense of perception as I focused my attention to the entire pelvic bed. As I raised my sacrum up, I surprisingly noted my anterior pelvic tilt while opening my root chakra in sitting and standing stances had started disappearing. Although it wasn&#8217;t still feeling perfect like it did through opening my root chakra while lying down on stomach and jogging on toes yet it had moved back somewhere in between the anterior and the posterior pelvic tilts.</p><p>It was like a riddle I was going on solving in its absolute subtleness. I discovered I couldn&#8217;t open the root chakra in a perfect manner without opening my sacral chakra exactly like I wasn&#8217;t able to open my sacral chakra without opening my root chakra along.</p><p>And now I was feeling both of them were still imperfect in their opening even in conjunction with each other. The lower S of the double S shaped spine was still not feeling perfectly shaped.</p><p>Feelings are not emotional alone. They can be instinctual as well. What is the difference between the two? Or in other words, what is the difference between instincts and emotions?</p><p>Emotional feelings are there only in the mind. But instinctual feelings may be there in the body as well as in the mind, both together. We often talk about the gut feeling. It&#8217;s a feeling that we occasionally have in our gut. It&#8217;s an instinctual feeling. We also call gut to be our second brain. That&#8217;s why the communication between the gut and the brain is so important. This communication takes place via vagus nerve passing through the vicinity of double S shaped spine.</p><p>I started wondering about the relationship as well as the difference between instincts and emotions. Instincts in their natural satiation generate passion and not emotions. Passion is a feeling located both in the body as well as in the mind. It feels like a flow of energy through the body as well as through the mind. But in case instincts aren&#8217;t able to get satiated for various different reasons, they tend to turn into emotions. Emotions are located only in the mind although they generate their negative effects on the body. It&#8217;s because they are not whole, they are only there in the mind.</p><p>A very good example is the instinct of sex. When it doesn&#8217;t get satiated in the body in a natural way, it turns into a desire for sex in the mind alone. There it tends to satiate it through mental sex. It seriously distorts the entire energy pattern which could otherwise have resulted in passion. Now the same passion gets distorted as an emotion getting accustomed to doing mental sex more frequently than real sex. It&#8217;s something like mental masturbation that one tends to get addicted to. We tend to get indulged into it more frequently without really getting passionately satiated. Emotional satiation is never passionate. And that&#8217;s why it tends to frequent itself more often. Slowly and gradually, this pattern turns into a habit as a vicious circle and we are no more able to perform the real act of sex as passionately as we otherwise would have done.</p><p>Symptoms that point to the existence of the sacral chakra, including all kinds of sexual problems like premature ejaculation, impotence, ejaculatory incompetence, orgasmic dysfunction, vaginismus, frigidity and a poor sex performance owing to the lack of a mature orgasm in men and women are all lifestyle diseases that stem from the sacral chakra.</p><p>That&#8217;s what emotions do to us whether they are positive or else negative. They are not whole, they are fragmented, living in the mind alone. And it&#8217;s not limited to sex alone. Frustration of any instinct can generate a corresponding fragmented emotion through desire or fear. If these fragmented emotions are generated through desire, they are termed as positive. Conversely, if they are generated through fear, they are termed as negative. But both of them are basically fragmented. In fact, the positive emotions are more fragmented than their negative counterparts. The reason is that desires are always the next step of the fear generated by the instinctual frustration, hence they are more fragmented than our fears.</p><p>Instincts include hunger, thirst, excretion, curiosity, movement, playfulness, adventure, interaction, love, socializing, sex, reproduction and parenting. Emotions always exist in pairs of positive and negative simply because they are fragmented. These include happiness vs sadness, bravery vs cowardice, courage vs timidity, confidence vs diffidence, hope vs despair, excitement vs boredom, attachment vs detachment, anger vs guilt, pride vs shame, anxiety vs depression and desire vs fear. Desire often turns into greed whereas fear alone turns to miserly tendencies.</p><p>Emotions and passion cannot live together. We can either be whole or else a fragmented person. Passion results in joy. Emotion can at best result in happiness. There is a difference between joy and happiness. When joy is there, we simply enjoy. On the other hand, happiness is always there for an imminent hope to enjoy. Joy is not right now there, it&#8217;s still in the future that we are happy about even if it&#8217;s a single moment away. When we are enjoying, we have no time to be happy nor a need to be so. We are enjoying because we are passionately whole and not fragmented that the need for being happy drives us toward.</p><p>Sacral chakra, along with its concern for sexuality, is also concerned about creativity. It comes to a very interesting difference between the two kinds of creativity. If it is emotional creativity, it comes into existence through a process called sublimation. It tends to divert the frustrated sexual energy to create seemingly asexual fictional imaginations that further seem to be great pieces of art. But their source is emotion alone and they can never be as great as creative pieces of art generated through instinctual insights. It&#8217;s similar to the difference between an emotional feeling and a gut feeling.</p><p>How do emotions affect the body?</p><p>The mind, in its convoluted development along human culture and human society, has fragmented itself into many parts. These fragmented parts are always in a state of war with one another. The result is that they keep wasting their energy. As a further result, the organism is thrown into a state that lacks energy.</p><p>Anatomically, this shows up as a habitually unnatural posture adopted by the skeleton, especially at its joints. The skeleton does this to itself, through the mind, by drooping its 360 joints &#8216;down&#8217; and tucking them &#8216;in&#8217;. (In the army training throughout the world, they go a step further in a dangerous way. They train soldiers in tucking the skeleton &#8216;out&#8217; while it is still drooping &#8216;down&#8217;. No one has yet analyzed that it turns them aggressively violent rather than passively timid. But it has been serving their purpose of turning their soldiers&nbsp;&#8216;brave&#8217; and they are happy with it.) This gets further worsened by the muscles in their vicinity getting rigidified and thus changing their habitual anatomy. Both these structural changes affect nerves and blood vessels attached to them thereby changing their habitual anatomy as well.</p><p>And this is what gives birth to those infamous closed chakras - or as I call them, just chakras - all along the length of the spinal cord. If we look at it from a neurological perspective, it mainly stops the vagus nerve from carrying signals effectively. They block the much needed dialogue between the gut and the brain to keep the nervous system functioning properly. That&#8217;s how the materialistic approach to life looks at it.</p><p>Let&#8217;s look at it from the angle of the vitalistic approach to life. Surprisingly, the vitalistic approach also talks of closed chakras along the spinal cord that block the flow of Kundalini. Kundalini is the life-energy said to flow through the hypothetical nerve named Sushumna along the spinal cord. The brain works optimally when Kundalini flows unblocked through Sushumna between the root chakra (in the vicinity of gut) and the crown chakra (in the vicinity of brain).</p><p>The similarity in the physiological descriptions of two diametrically opposite philosophical approaches to life has always intrigued me.</p><p>Maybe the two approaches are ways of looking into the same reality from two different angles!</p><p>Time will tell.</p><p>Regardless, the deformed psychology of the mental structure affects the physiology of the human body negatively. It compromises the capacity of the tenth cranial nerve along with the rest of them to carry signals (or to let Kundalini flow) in an uninhibited manner. The result is a neurologically compromised nervous system of which the brain is the most central organ. That&#8217;s how a compromised mind compromises the brain as well. The brain loses its spontaneity to think in the moment as the mind pushes it toward past and future thoughts.</p><p>What&#8217;s the way out?</p><p>Either we change the psychology of mind or the physiology of body to put it back on the right&nbsp; track.</p><p>If the mind can affect the body negatively, the body can affect the mind as well; and positively vice versa.</p><p>It was this that I was trying to do at my vertebral joint of the fused sacral vertebrae. But the feeling I was still getting was more emotional in nature than an instinctual one. Physically it had replaced the thrust of my body weight distribution on my pelvic bed from its tailbone end near coccyx to the center of the pelvic bed. But I got a gut feeling that it was stirring up my emotions more than my instinctual passion in my psyche. Energy was not really rising up to that point through my spine. It was a similar thing that was at times causing an anterior pelvic tilt while I was doing away with my posterior pelvic tilt in sitting and standing postures. But as I pulled my sacrum up removing its compression, the tendency to cause anterior pelvic tilt even in sitting and standing postures just disappeared. It had moved further toward completing my code of instant root chakra opening.</p><p>This realization encouraged me to wait for my codes of instant root chakra and sacral chakra opening getting finalized in their completion until I looked for the code of instant solar plexus chakra opening along. Maybe it would complete my root chakra and sacral chakra opening with an instinctual feeling as I cracked the code of instant solar plexus chakra opening like before. Hence I suspended my apprehension until I came up back to them after cracking my next code above.</p><p>What I had reached up to this point of my realization was this&#8230;</p><p>A constantly compressed sacral plexus afflicts the sexual process with various types of sexual dysfunctions. But once the compression is released through raising the sacral vertebrae up in the vertebral column, they start getting relieved. Then, it&#8217;s just a question of keeping the vertebral column raised at its sacral region by making it one&#8217;s first nature.</p><p>Download the code of instant sacral chakra opening in the &#8216;Resources&#8217; section of SKELETAL LEAP BOOK 1, available on: skeletalleap.com/themindbodyconnection</p><p>But we need to keep this caveat in mind&#8230; the sacral chakra cannot be effectively opened until and unless the root chakra below it is already opened, even if imperfectly.</p><p>I was ready to move on to the solar plexus chakra now.</p><p>Thanks for listening to this episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!

When I applied it, It pulled me out of my posterior pelvic tilt.</p><p>My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to &#8220;Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure&#8221;. Skeletal Leap transforms one&#8217;s life into a personal heaven.</p><p>Today&#8217;s episode will tell you how I cracked the code of instant root chakra opening.</p><p>After having cracked the code of instant vision improvement, I was on my first step to crack more instant codes. For this purpose, I had chosen the chakra system for further insights into its promise of being a panacea only because its two skull chakras had tremendously helped me with my instant eyesight improvement. And overall, there were seven of them waiting for getting their instant codes to be cracked through scientific investigation of this ancient esoteric system. I focused my attention to the very first of them, the root chakra, that claimed to be the basic foundation of life.</p><p>The location of the root chakra is at the coccyx, or what we also call the tailbone, on the pelvic floor. It&#8217;s the remnant of a full-fledged tail that our ancestors used to balance themselves on trees for their basic survival. A full-fledged tail was an extension of the vertebral column with a set of muscles to move it in order to balance their body. But by the time they evolved into apes around 20 million years ago, they had already lost their tail. It took place with a random mutation through a gene called TBXT. Surprisingly, this random mutation made them thrive and pass it on to their offspring. Today it appears as a fused set of 4 vertebrae at the lower end of the vertebral column.</p><p>In fact, this random mutation sowed the early seeds that would later enable those apes to turn bipeds. In between, their tail muscles evolved into muscular hammock-like mesh across the pelvis. When they later stood up on their twos around 4-7 million years ago, they already had a well-developed muscular hammock to support the weight of their vertically upright organs.</p><p>The root chakra reminds us of the balance that is still required as the basic foundation of life for its biological survival. For the same reason, it houses the seed of life-energy which keeps us alive and safe. If it&#8217;s there as a closed root chakra, it goes fearful and anxious. And as it&#8217;s our inseparable part, it makes us fearful and anxious too. Physical safety and security are its prime concern as it works at the level of the most basic genetic commands.</p><p>How does it go closed and block the flow of life energy from moving upward?</p><p>Pelvic tilt is a movable postural orientation of the pelvis. It&#8217;s an orientation relative to the thigh bones, knee joints and the soles of the feet below. It also changes the orientation of the hip joint. When postured right, it subtly supports the weight of the vertebral column above it while keeping its double S shape intact.</p><p>But that is just a description of the ideal pelvic orientation. A major chunk of the human population habitually keeps this pelvic tilt wrongly postured.</p><p>There are two reasons for this unhealthy habit formation.</p><p>The first one is the downward pull by gravity on its orientation. People give in to this constant downward pull when they lack enough life energy to keep its orientation up. They just let the front of their pelvis drop in relation to its back.</p><p>The newly acquired dropped-down orientation called anterior pelvic tilt also disrupts the orientation of the hip joint. This further disrupts the double S shape of the vertebral column above. Below, it disrupts the body weight bearing distribution at the pelvis, at the knee joints and at the soles of the feet, thus rendering the entire skeletal posture &#8216;unhealthy&#8217;.</p><p>The second reason is an emotionally driven, &#8216;pulled-in&#8217; psychological state that results in the same aforementioned unhealthy skeletal posture.</p><p>The aforementioned anterior pelvic tilt is just one, albeit the most prevalent, of its many abnormal orientations.</p><p>The second most prevalent of the abnormal orientations of the pelvis is the posterior pelvic tilt. Below is a complete list of pelvic tilt abnormalities as and when its orientation gets wrongly postured&#8230;</p><p>Anterior pelvic tilt drops the front of the pelvis relative to the back of the pelvis. It shortens the hip flexors and lengthens the hip extensors.</p><p>Posterior pelvic tilt raises the front of the pelvis relative to the back of the pelvis. It lengthens the hip flexors and shortens the hip extensors.</p><p>Lateral pelvic tilt happens when one keeps pelvis tilted to left or right habitually, resulting in scoliosis.</p><p>Left pelvic tilt keeps the right side of the pelvis raised more than the left side.</p><p>Right pelvic tilt keeps the left side of the pelvis raised more than the right side.</p><p>Pelvic tilt is the sole cause of a closed root chakra appearing at the lowest point, coccyx (aka tail bone), of vertebral column. Coccyx lies very near the pelvic belt. And the pelvic tilt drops it down and pushes it backward in the case of an anterior pelvic tilt. When the pelvic tilt is posterior, it still drops the coccyx down but pushes it forward this time. Both these maneuvers sow the seed of a closed root chakra eventually distorting the double S curve of the vertebral column.</p><p>A closed root chakra also disrupts the anatomy and hence the physiology of the pelvis, hip and the lower limbs. It disrupts the pelvic, hip, knee, ankle and subtalar joints with interphalangeal articulations of the feet and the associated muscles, nerves and blood vessels.</p><p>As a result, the tail bone (coccyx) drops down either backward or forward at the pelvis. The body weight distribution on the hips, knees and soles of the feet gets distorted centering its thrust on the wrong points. With the passage of time, one develops knee pain, sciatica, varicose veins and constipation in case of posterior pelvic tilt. When it&#8217;s due to anterior pelvic tilt, constipation gets replaced with chronic diarrhea.</p><p>Root chakra blockage symptoms like constipation, diarrhea, belly fat, acidity, hemorrhoids and loss of appetite are lifestyle diseases related to the root chakra.</p><p>It makes us feel ungrounded biologically as well as psychologically. Hence it keeps us perennially concerned with survival and material security in life.</p><p>More specifically, a posterior pelvic tilt turns us into misers who fear losing whatever little we have...</p><p>Whereas, an anterior pelvic tilt turns us greedy spendthrifts who accumulate heavily. It makes us believe that our wealth would never deplete even when a lot of it gets lost.</p><p>Opening the root chakra reverses the wrong done to the pelvic tilt and makes the ideal pelvic posture one&#8217;s first nature. We need to do away with our pelvic tilt. It tends to start the first step toward a &#8216;healthy&#8217; skeletal re-posturing.</p><p>And lo! with this simple insight, the code had gotten cracked!</p><p>Download the code of instant root chakra opening in the &#8216;Resources&#8217; section of SKELETAL LEAP BOOK 1, available on: skeletalleap.com/themindbodyconnection</p><p>When I applied it, It pulled me out of my posterior pelvic tilt.</p><p>But then I discovered It had pushed my hips a bit too back to the anterior pelvic tilt except while lying down on the stomach and jogging on toes.</p><p>Although the coccyx had moved up vertically yet it had distorted the down-most curve of the spine&#8217;s double S shape by getting pushed back a bit too much. It was this that had caused the anterior pelvic tilt.</p><p>What would I do to come out of both pelvic tilts even while standing or sitting on a chair?</p><p>It was much later that I discovered what was missing from my code of instant root chakra opening. In fact, nothing was really missing. What I had missed was another fact of information about them that needs an explanation here.</p><p>Here is the explanation&#8230;</p><p>Although we have 7 chakras in our body yet we cannot correctly open them in absolute isolation separately. We can certainly do them in three groups in order for each one of them opening properly via their instant opening codes.</p><p>The first group comprises the root, the sacral and the solar plexus chakras forming the lower torso group. The second group comprises the heart and the throat chakras forming the upper torso group. And the third group comprises the third eye and the crown chakras forming the skull chakra group.</p><p>Hence, the code of instant root chakra opening was perfectly accurate although it needed to be opened in combination with the sacral and the solar plexus chakras. It was to avoid falling into the clutches of posterior pelvic tilt while correcting the anterior pelvic tilt, or else vice versa.</p><p>Till then I could do it while lying down on the stomach and jogging on toes alone.</p><p>Once I had fully done it in conjunction with opening my sacral and the solar plexus chakras later, I needed to make it the first nature of my body posture 24 x 7.</p><p>As I did it, I immediately started feeling more aware, energetic and focused.</p><p>Although this new relaxed posture did tire me in the beginning with my old habitual lethargic posture yearning at times to take the backrest while sitting but I didn&#8217;t pay heed to it. When the yearning became intolerable, I rather stood up and lied down on my stomach. That brought my yearning back to tolerable levels. It took me about 72 hours at a stretch to make it my first nature.</p><p>Once it became my first nature, it immediately brought astonishing changes pertaining to the joints, muscles, nerves and blood vessels around the root chakra location. It resulted in changing my anatomy, physiology, psyche and the level of sensitivity in that particular area controlled by the root chakra. My digestion improved considerably, Also my excretion turned way more regular without any signs of constipation or loose motions ever. I started feeling much more peaceful in my mind keeping all signs of anxiety or fear of future at bay. I had never been greedy in my life but I did have miserly tendencies to a certain level which miraculously started disappearing in my psyche. And as I said before, I started feeling way more aware, energetic and focused. My sleeping pattern changed as well. Sleep turned much sounder. Hence I needed fewer number of sleeping hours to feel fully rejuvenated as I woke up in the morning. My appetite increased in a very pleasurable manner as well.</p><p>My body weight distribution changed as I felt it centering in my lower limbs in a different pattern now. On the sole of the feet, it changed its center from the heels on the outer side of the feet to the mounts just at the back of my big toes. In the knees, it changed from their outer parts to the inner ones. The thrust of my body weight on my pelvic bed moved from the tailbone end toward the pubic end. It resulted in both my anus and my urethra keeping their opening loose rather than tightly clenched. It made me more sensitive to the calls of nature as and when I felt their pressure in either of them.</p><p>I welcomed all these changes in my body, mind and spirit; and then proceeded further to search for cracking the code of instant sacral chakra opening.</p><p>Thanks for listening to this episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure! In the next episode, I will tell you how I cracked the code of instant sacral chakra opening.</p><p>Be a part of Skeletal Leap Community! Subscribe to Skeletal Leap Newsletter.

He emphasizes the importance of energy in our daily existence, reminding us that to fully appreciate the gifts life has to offer, we must first cultivate a deeper understanding of ourselves and our energies. </p><p>His personal quest to unravel the ancient chakra system is both inspiring and relatable, as he shares how he has navigated the often murky waters of esoteric language and misconceptions that surround this powerful system. </p><p>Throughout the episode, Laadi recounts his own experiences with instant visual acuity, illustrating how he has tapped into the ancient wisdom of the chakras to enhance his health and overall well-being. </p><p>His stories resonate with many of us who seek clarity and balance in our fast-paced lives. As he delves into the complexities of human evolution&#8212;particularly the development of bipedalism&#8212;he sheds light on the various health challenges we face today, including the common reliance on spectacles. </p><p>Laadi&#8217;s emphasis on aligning our spine and opening our chakras serves as a gentle reminder that our physical and mental health are intricately connected. When the seven chakras are open, a free flow of Kundalini energy can occur, leading to significant improvements in our overall well-being. </p><p>This episode goes beyond mere theory; it offers practical insights into how we can take charge of our health and unlock our full potential through the chakra system. </p><p>Moreover, Laadi draws fascinating connections between the chakra system and the vagus nerve, bridging the gap between ancient practices and contemporary scientific understanding. His insights motivate us to reflect on our own health journeys, encouraging us to explore how we can integrate these ancient teachings into our modern lives. </p><p>Join us for this enlightening episode that not only challenges conventional beliefs but also inspires a journey toward a more abundant and joyful life. We understand that embarking on this path of self-discovery can feel daunting, but Laadi&#8217;s compassionate approach reassures us that we are not alone in our struggles. </p><p>Don&#8217;t miss our next episode, where Laadi will reveal how he cracked the code for instant root chakra opening.

abundant life is the real fun of life. We need abundance of energy to enjoy the abundance of gifts life has in store for us.</p><p>My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to &#8220;Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure&#8221;. Skeletal Leap transforms one&#8217;s life into a personal heaven.</p><p>Today&#8217;s episode will tell you how and why I decided not to stop after cracking the code of instant visual acuity and kept trying to crack more codes as I had an ancient esoteric system of faith yet untouched by scientific investigation at my disposal now.</p><p>In the process of cracking the code of instant eyesight improvement, I had successfully been able to evaluate its strength. I could do that by denuding it of its esoteric garbs to witness its bare body divulging all its hidden secrets.</p><p>It was the ancient chakra system that had built its body on a splendid skeleton of 7 chakras superimposed in its effect on the spine and the skull of the human skeleton. But the body that covered this splendid skeleton of the said chakras went replete with hypotheses unverified by any logical scientific investigation. As a result, in its surface appearance, it turned into an esoteric system. It&#8217;s difficult to say why its creators chose to do so. It could either be an intentional attempt to keep it as their secret privilege hidden from the masses or they could only partially understand it and then turned it into a system of blind faith to save their face.</p><p>Whatever it was, I decided to turn it into a logically comprehensible system so that no one would go astray. The so-called chakra healers try to repeat the same esoteric language today which their clients don&#8217;t really understand. But since they revere it out of their faith in mysticism, they follow every single word uttered by their gurus to the tee and never dare raise a question. It certainly isn&#8217;t a healthy state of affairs, health ironically being the prime concern of the system. It could be biological, mental or else the spiritual health. The right destinations never allow the wrong paths leading up to them.</p><p>I dared trying it since I had already done it successfully as far as an instant cure for the errors of refraction in the eyes was concerned. And it was no less miraculous than any spiritual miracle could ever be there. It was when I had only used two of the seven chakras for fulfilling this task. If all the 7 chakras got involved through opening them biologically, there was a possibility that it could create much greater wonders.</p><p>But then practice always speaks louder than any theory behind it. That was what had happened when I cracked the code of an instant cure for the errors of refraction in the eyes. Of course, theory is the second step that explains the logic of a successful practice.</p><p>I sat down to look for the codes of opening the rest of the 7 chakras like I had preliminarily done for the two of them in the skull.</p><p>First of all I asked the question to myself, &#8220;What could it be that closed all these chakras en mass in a major chunk of humanity?&#8221; It&#8217;s obvious by the number of people using spectacles at one age or the other in their life. A certain number of them use them early in the young age mostly for managing myopia. And the rest of them use them for managing presbyopia in their forties. For presbyopia, it has become a rule rather than an exception. On top of it, it has turned into a lifestyle rather than a lifestyle disease.</p><p>It simply shows that at least two of their skull chakras are closed. By extension, we can safely assume that almost the entire humanity is living life with almost all of their chakras closed. We don&#8217;t generally see other animals with such compromised eyesight en mass at any age till their death. What has happened so special with humanity that didn&#8217;t happen with other animals?</p><p>Evolution!?</p><p>That&#8217;s right. Of course, other animals did evolve too but none of them did it so miraculously fast nor did any of them turn bipedal during their evolution except chimpanzees and bonobos who are still basically quadrupeds and only occasionally engage in bipedal locomotion.</p><p>I decided to learn a bit more about the human evolution as different from the general evolution of all the other animals.</p><p>So, bipedal evolution seemed to be the underlying reason for the specific problems that humanity alone faced. It started 4-7 million years ago when our ancestors named hominins stood on their twos instead of on their fours for the first time. As it happened, their skeleton started evolving to make itself suited to bipedalism as much as it could. It changed in its arrangement of bones with respect to one another as well as in their shapes and sizes. The changes involved new arrangements and sizes of foot bones, hip size and shape, knee size, leg length, shape and orientation of vertebral column as well as of skull orientation.</p><p>Bipedalism made walking more energy-efficient and human movement much easier. Though running became less energy-efficient, walking was much more important. Hence the trade-off worked. It increased their locomotion tremendously.</p><p>As a result, along with other changes mentioned above, vertebral column and skull tremendously changed their shapes and orientations. Earlier, the skull and the vertebral column or spine that were oriented horizontally now changed to a vertical orientation. In this new orientation, the vertebral column got curved at numerous places to stabilize the body in an upright position.</p><p>Today, the vertebral column of adult Homo sapiens, in its natural posture, has two secondary posteriorly concave bends in its lumbar and cervical regions. They are called secondary because they develop after birth. On the other hand, it has two anteriorly concave primary bends in its sacrococcygeal and thoracic regions. They are called primary because they retain the original fetal curvature.</p><p>Together, these four bends give rise to the double S shape of the vertebral column working as springs to absorb shocks. Without its posteriorly concave bend in its lumbar region that develops as the child learns to sit upright, stand, and walk, the body would have kept leaning forward. In that case it would have needed a huge effort to stand upright.</p><p>At the top, without its posteriorly concave bend in its cervical region that develops as the infant begins to hold their head upright when sitting, the head couldn&#8217;t have been held up straight.</p><p>The two anteriorly concave bends in the sacrococcygeal and thoracic regions have been retained from the original fetal curvature.</p><p>The posteriorly concave bend in the lumbar region and the anteriorly concave bend in the thoracic region keep the body straight. These two bends do so by keeping the body&#8217;s center of gravity vertically in line with its feet.</p><p>Also, during the bipedal evolution with an accelerated evolution of brain, the skull very fast changed in size and weight as it changed to a vertical orientation freely balanced on the vertebral column at its first vertebra named Atlas. These vertical orientations of the skull and the vertebral column gave them more freedom to move these parts in any desired direction and orientation.</p><p>But with freedom comes responsibility. We had to pay the price for the freedom we had been gifted with. And this price tag was a recurring one. We needed to keep paying it recurrently every single moment of our life.</p><p>When the vertebral column was horizontally oriented, it was supported on four legs. There were almost no pulls of gravity on it further down. As it came to a vertical orientation, gravity started pulling it down way more than before. It started pulling our joints down especially on its upper parts which swung in the air without any solid support beneath.</p><p>The main victims were the vertically oriented skull, the shoulders, the backbone, the thoracic diaphragm, the hips and the knees.</p><p>Also, as the brain further evolved, it gave birth to negative emotions along with positive ones that joined hands with gravity. They played an extra role in tucking these pulled-down joints &#8216;in&#8217;, resulting in contracting the muscles attached to them. All this resulted in these joints pulled &#8216;down&#8217; and tucked &#8216;in&#8217; rather than staying &#8216;up&#8217; and &#8216;out&#8217;.</p><p>Our skeleton got habitually postured in this deformed way as opposed to its ideal postural evolution. And we have been living with the same deformed posture of the skeleton every single day since then. We forgot our responsibility en mass to keep it the way it had been designed like.</p><p>The downward pulls and inward tucks are inflicted on the rest of the skeleton through its joints. These joints are the points to which muscles are attached as well. These deformations forcibly contract or unnecessarily stretch these muscles and keep them so beyond their natural relaxed state perennially.</p><p>As a result, the said muscles get rigidified in those forcibly contracted or unnecessarily stretched lengths of their tissues. In case of the perennial contraction, they no more sit relaxed even when they are not supposed to do any work. And vice versa - in case of perennial stretch, they go lethargic even when they are supposed to stay contracted. With the passage of time, they habitually get stuck in those unnatural stances. These unnatural stances keep us lethargic as well as tired all day long.</p><p>On top of it, they also have nerve endings and blood vessel endings attached to them. As joint and muscle shapes get distorted, so do the nerves and the blood vessels in their vicinity.</p><p>The vagus nerve, which is the biggest nerve in the body, is the worst affected of them all. This tenth cranial nerve has very many sensory and motor branches going to many important internal organs. It is designed to do the most important job of establishing a dialogue between the gut and the brain.</p><p>But when it gets deformed owing to the skeletal deformation, its function gets seriously compromised.</p><p>As per the materialistic approach, the vagus nerve is designed to establish an uninterrupted communication between the gut and the brain. As a result, it optimizes the life energy keeping us healthy and energetic.</p><p>I moved on to study the basic premises of the chakra system now.</p><p>As per the vitalistic approach, this life energy is called Kundalini in the ancient Chakra System first originated in India. It is designed to flow via the central nerve passing through the spine, called Sushumna in Sanskrit language. Sushumna is the non-physical harmonized state of its constituent nerves Ida and Pingala. It&#8217;s exactly like the so-called vagus nerve actually comprising ventral vagus and dorsal vagus as its real biological constituents.</p><p>Lately, there has been an internationally widespread heated debate going on a burning issue in Chakra parlance. The topic is whether Ida and Pingala are the same nerves as ventral vagus and dorsal vagus or not. And if they are the same, what is the equivalent of the non-physical harmonized state Sushumna in vagus parlance. The majority opinion stands in clear favor of their congruity. The parallel of Sushumna has been conceived to be a harmonized state of the two constituent vagus nerves, ventral vagus and dorsal vagus. This harmonized state is simply known as a singular Vagus Nerve.</p><p>In my own personal experience, I found the surges of the rising energy clearly belonging to the two parlances interchangeably. I always sensed the rising energy of Kundalini in the Chakra parlance as a smooth uninterrupted communication between the gut and the brain initiated by a harmonized Vagus Nerve. It energizes the base of the pelvis with a sexual connotation. And exactly at the same time, it energizes the top of the head with a spiritual connotation emptying the mind. The vagal tone goes up and visual perception becomes extremely acute. I personally have no doubt on the question of their congruity.</p><p>Hence, I will be using the terms Sushumna Nadi and Vagus Nerve interchangeably throughout this memoir. It will help me integrate the materialistic and the vitalistic approaches as one single whole in the Chakra parlance. And it does make sense to me that the truth lies somewhere in between the two parlances&#8230; in no man&#8217;s land.</p><p>In order for Kundalini to flow through Sushumna uninterrupted, it needs to be in its original undeformed shape. But as we have seen above, nerves also get deformed with postural deformities of the skeleton.</p><p>Hence Sushumna is not able to let Kundalini efficiently flow uninterrupted through it to the crown chakra. The flow of Kundalini gets blocked on its way to rise up through Sushumna. It&#8217;s quite parallel to the communication from gut to brain via vagus nerve getting blocked. This communication blockage is detrimental although parts of it leak through as non-uniform trickles.</p><p>These non-uniform trickles are certainly not sufficient to keep us healthily energetic enough in our life. They, however, save us from turning dead instantaneously. (It&#8217;s quite logical. The vitalistic approach toward life considers Kundalini as the basic life energy instilling life into matter. Hence an absolute absence of its flow through Sushumna is bound to kill the organism instantly.) In fact it holds good for both explanatory approaches, the materialistic approach and the vitalistic approach.</p><p>With this lack of life energy or neural communication in our system, we go prone to contracting many lifestyle diseases. They affect our crucial internal organs and their systems negatively not only anatomically but physiologically as well. The worst victims are our skeletal, nervous, muscular, respiratory, endocrine, immune, cardiovascular, urinary, integumentary, reproductive, and digestive systems.</p><p>It ends up turning life into a painful experience rather than a joyful excursion on the planet. There is no fun living life with an extremely limited amount of energy. It compels us to participate in its activities miserly even though we love doing them abundantly.</p><p>That&#8217;s the recurring price we have been paying for becoming bipeds since our ancestors took this leap into a responsible adventure of freedom as we were not responsible enough. Today, we do need to turn responsible in case we decide to stop paying the said recurring price any more in order to create a personal heaven in life. We need to keep in mind that freedom always comes with responsibility.</p><p>Living an abundant life is the real fun of life. We need abundance of energy to enjoy the abundance of gifts life has in store for us.</p><p>As per the vitalistic approach, we need a full flow of Kundalini rising through Sushumna up to the crown chakra. It imparts us with perennial joy of perception and action in whatever we do. And as per the materialistic approach, we do need a full neural communication between the gut and the brain.</p><p>At which points in Sushumna does Kundalini get interrupted?</p><p>Generally speaking, there are 7 of them between the pelvis and the top of the head. They are called chakras. They are like 7 gates which are open when the 7 chakras are open. But if the chakras are partially or almost completely closed, the gates in Sushumna follow suit.</p><p>What are chakras? What does it mean by them being closed or open?</p><p>Chakras, when they are closed, are anatomical deformities in functional groups of internal body organs. These are the groups of skeletal joints along with muscles, nerves and blood vessels attached to them. (The Vagus Nerve is also a major part of them.) In the Chakra parlance, they block Kundalini from moving up through Sushumna to the crown chakra in a streamlined flow. As a result, it starts rotating in a circle, like a vortex, at the location of the block rather than moving ahead straight. That&#8217;s why the said blocks are called chakras.</p><p>Open chakras have no deformities and no blocks in the way of Kundalini rising up through Sushumna to the crown chakra. In fact, when open, they don&#8217;t exist at all and, therefore, it has been my contention that they shouldn&#8217;t even be called chakras at that point.</p><p>The above two definitions are not stereotyped definitions like the ones showing up all over the Internet. Those stereotyped definitions keep blowing the same old trumpet. They define chakras as the centers of energy. Nothing can be farther from the truth. Chakras are chakras, only when they are closed. Open chakras are no chakras at all. So, chakras only exist as villains and there is no version of them that is a hero. And we should take care to paint them in that correct perspective.</p><p>My definitions above are, in fact, the results of my firsthand experience with the way these chakras behave and function. These are also the result of my experience with Kundalini flowing up uninterrupted through Sushumna.</p><p>Now, when it came to opening these chakras, I found this system going all astray taking shelter in the esoteric domain of unverified spiritual hypotheses. Luckily I already had my past experience of opening the third eye and the crown chakras, even if partially so, while cracking the code of an instant cure for the errors of refraction in the eyes.</p><p>So I decided I would again take the same path of doing my independent research to crack the codes of opening every single chakra biologically. For this I needed an instant feedback system ensuring that I was on the right track in each case like I had my Snellen chart while doing the same for the skull chakras. Again this feedback system needed to be a tangible one and not intangible like its mental or spiritual effects. These needed to be clearly verifiable physical effects like in my first code cracked.</p><p>But again, the problem was that all enumerated effects that were mentioned in the chakra literature were either mental or spiritual.</p><p>Then it came to my mind that the best physical effect of successfully opening a chakra could be instantly gauged by the change it brought to the posture of the vertebral column at its specified location.</p><p>Not only this but it could also be the code in itself. We only needed to know what the 7 gates that opened along the spine for Kundalini to flow smoothly were when the 7 chakras opened. Opening all 7 of them would simply turn the vertebral column to its original undeformed double S shape enabling it to let Kundalini flow through Sushumna uninterrupted.</p><p>Along with their codes, I will also be telling about how opening them all affected my health concerns, lifestyle diseases, my mental disposition and the level of energy in my mind body system separately with each one of them.</p><p>I immediately sat down ready to proceed with my research for cracking the codes to all the 7 chakras separately, including the third eye and the crown chakras once again in their depth, one by one.</p><p>Thanks for listening to this episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure! In the next episode, I will tell you how I cracked the code of instant root chakra opening.</p><p>Be a part of Skeletal Leap Community! Subscribe to Skeletal Leap Newsletter.
