Introduction:

In this eye-opening (pun intended 🙂) episode of Skeletal Leap, I strengthen the fascinating connection between central fixation of the eyes and the skeletal chakra hypothesis.

Titled “Eye Training for Crystal Clear Eye Vision NOW!”, the episode explores how achieving central fixation not only enhances vision but also transforms our physiological systems and personal well-being.

I share a personal story involving my cataract surgery and a groundbreaking realization about visual accommodation, challenging conventional ophthalmological beliefs.

I discuss the significance of the oblique and recti muscles in the eye’s ability to focus and how their habitual constriction leads to common vision problems like myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism as well as presbyopia after the age of 40.

Discover the historical context of Dr. W.H. Bates’ work and how it paved the way for understanding the relationship between the mind, body, and vision.

I introduce the concept of central fixation through chakra meditation, revealing how this practice can lead to profound changes in both vision and overall health.

Join me on this journey of self-discovery, as I uncover the tangible effects of opening chakras on our anatomy and physiology, and emphasize the importance of achieving a harmonious mind-body connection.

“Central fixation, through the opening of chakras, not only improves our vision and changes our physiological systems, it also changes us as a person.”

My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to “Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure”. Skeletal Leap transforms one’s life into a personal heaven.

Today’s episode will tell you about an unintended evidence strengthening the skeletal chakra hypothesis via achieving central fixation of the eyes.

As I’ve mentioned earlier, the biological miracle that I have long been working with is the skeletal codes of instant central fixation of the eyes, the body and the mind.

Let me tell you another story, a recent one that reinforces my above statement.

The Story of Activating A So-called Impossible Visual Accommodation

“I seem to have cracked its code.”

This was what I said to my ophthalmological surgeon who was preparing to start a surgery for my cataract removal. I got my cataract removed in 2022.

I said to my surgeon again as he had not yet replied, “I think I have cracked the code of central fixation of the eyes.”

It was a few seconds before lying down on the operation table that I spoke these words.

This time, he looked at me and replied, “Right now, I am not listening to you.”

He added, “I am in my pre-surgery trance. We will discuss it once the surgery is successfully completed.”

It was a Tuesday. A few days prior, I had met him in his clinic. I had asked him to replace my clouded natural crystalline lens with an intraocular lens of the same diopter power.

The normal procedure of cataract surgery 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 intraocular lenses.

It is a very simple, 10-minute surgical procedure though it does demand impeccable precision from the surgeon. And, as per modern ophthalmology, since these intraocular lenses cannot fatten like natural crystalline lenses, they cannot help in reading at close proximity when they are optimized for distant vision. Hence they require reading glasses employing presbyopic convex lenses.

“Why?” he asked while replying to my request to replace my clouded natural crystalline lens with an intraocular lens of the same diopter power, “Why wouldn’t we optimize it for your distant vision, if so needed?”

“It’s because I am doing some experiments with the errors of refraction in my eyes. I don’t want those to get disturbed at all. I believe I have already cured my lifelong myopia with central fixation. But even if your optometric machines find there are some traces left, I would prefer to be left with them. I just don’t want my research to get disturbed by you optimizing my eyes for distant vision,” I said.

“But I find it unethical. We normally optimize it for distant vision with intraocular lenses. And then we provide you with outside lenses for near vision,” he retorted

“How does it become unethical? Especially if I am ready to use outside lenses for distant vision as well, if need be?” I said.

He looked at me with a puzzled expression as no one else had ever asked this to him before.

I added, “Moreover, you may optimize my distant vision by changing the diopter power of the intraocular lenses. But, then, I will no more be able to read near as clearly as I do right now. I read at close proximity perfectly well without using any presbyopic lenses.”

He immediately interrupted me, “Don’t be under the impression that you will be able to do that with intraocular lenses. Right now, you are somehow still doing it as you have natural crystalline lenses in your eyes. But intraocular 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.”

“I will still like to use a pair of outside glasses for correcting my distant vision. That is, 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 the research that I am doing through experiments with central fixation to eradicate all errors of refraction. And it’s not unethical if I prefer outside lenses to inside ones. Am I not right?” I asked him challenging his notion of ophthalmological ethics.

My logic convinced him that what I was asking for was not unethical. I just wanted my natural crystalline lenses replaced with intraocular lenses of exactly the same diopter power as before.

He agreed. And I took a sigh of relief as it was a question of my entire research getting wasted otherwise.

All my preliminary tests including ophthalmological and physiological status got checked. A day before the surgery, the surgeon informed me that everything was alright. He said my natural crystalline lenses would be replaced with intraocular lenses of diopter power +18.5. It was exactly the same diopter power that my natural crystalline lenses had.

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. It had gotten brighter owing to the surgery done on my eye. And as far as clarity of vision was concerned, replacing my natural crystalline lens with the intraocular lens of the same diopter power had left no negative effect on it.

It was a moment of extreme elation for me. Not optimizing my vision for distance had shown its favorable result.

The next day, on Wednesday, 16 February 2022, my left eye got operated with similar results.

As soon as both my eyes got intraocular lenses inserted in them, I went impatient. I could not 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 everything close clearly too.

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.

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.

He simply raised his hands in utter astonishment, saying, “I just don’t know how you are reading near so clear.”

It was a miracle, so to say.

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 only one to do so through his entire career.

The Real Scientific Process of Visual Accommodation

The question was how on earth I was able to see near so clear with inanimate lenses in my eyes.

There was only one way in which it could be explained scientifically.

It was that I was able to elongate my eyeball in order to see clear while reading near. And then, I was able to turn it back to near spherical while seeing at a distance.

According to this explanation, the lens has no role to play in the process of accommodation. It is the eyeball that effects and controls accommodation.

It was about a hundred years ago that Dr. W. H. Bates had propounded the same. Here is a quote from him:

“During more than thirty years of clinical experience, I have not observed a single fact that was not in harmony with the belief that the lens and the ciliary muscle have nothing to do with accommodation and that the changes in the shape of the eyeball upon which errors of refraction depend are not permanent. My clinical observations have of themselves been sufficient to demonstrate this fact. They have also been sufficient to show how errors of refraction can be produced at will, and how they may be cured, temporarily in a few minutes, and permanently by continued treatment.”

Eyes are constructed¹ of eyeballs having two sets of six muscles on each one of them. Two of them are ‘oblique’ muscles and the other four are ‘recti’. The two oblique muscles are there in the shape of a belt around the middle of the eyeball. The muscle above is called ‘superior’ and the one below, ‘inferior’.

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 ‘superior’, ‘inferior’, ‘internal’ and “external” recti.

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 and is generally combined with astigmatism which means different levels of constriction in various circular degrees.

Also, when recti muscles are kept constricted habitually, the eyes are not able to read at close proximity clearly. Letters go blurred as in hyperopia and presbyopia, and distorted as in astigmatism.

When the crown chakra and the third eye chakra are blocked, these are the muscles that get affected first. Thereafter, the rest of them, including those in the jaws, on the eyebrows, and around temporomandibular joints get affected.

Surprisingly, there is a direct physiological 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.

The Role That Dr. Bates Played A Hundred Years Ago

Around a hundred years ago in the year 1920, Dr. W. H. Bates, an ophthalmologist published a book. It was titled “The Cure of Imperfect Sight by Treatment without Glasses”. The book was an account of his case studies which involved curing the vision of people and enabling them to get rid of their glasses. It was also a logical analysis of how vision goes bad in the first place and how to cure it. With his analysis, he happened to challenge mainstream ophthalmology on its theoretical premises.

Mainstream ophthalmology had always maintained that vision, once gone bad, could never be cured. It still maintains the same premise to date. Hence it considers wearing glasses as the primary solution. It has also come up with its surgical derivative named LASIK. In LASIK, they sculpt the cornea in the shape of a lens as per the vision prescription. It simply turns the cornea into an additional lens in front of the eye’s main lens without wearing glasses. Not a big deal! It is rather ineffective in certain cases, especially in the long run. I know many such people whose errors of refraction returned a few years after getting LASIK done.

But mainstream ophthalmology chose not to respond to Dr. Bates’ challenge. It rather chose to ignore him in an attempt to isolate and ridicule him.

The question that arises is why, after all, mainstream ophthalmology chose to ignore its own comrade. Was it just because it thought he was doing something nonsensical? Far from it, his questions were not illogical. Quite to the contrary, he was getting positive results! Why, then, did his own parent organization ignore him like a step child?

The answer, as often is the case, was a conflict of interests between the two. And mainstream ophthalmology continues that same antagonistic approach toward his research and findings at the time of delivering this podcast…even almost a century later!

What would mainstream ophthalmology gain from this antagonism?

The answer seems to lie in a covert conspiracy as such. It is possibly scared of losing a luxurious business that it is the sole beneficiary of. Modern ophthalmology is a gigantic, multi-billion-dollar industry.

Here are two quotes to underline it:

“Global Eyewear Market to reach USD 196.47 billion by 2025. Global Eyewear Market valued approximately USD 110 billion in 2017 is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 7.52% over the forecast period 2018-2025.”

“Global personalized LASIK surgery market is expected to reach USD 3.69 billion by 2022.”

Perhaps, none of this industry’s gatekeepers want to kill the proverbial golden-egg-laying duck?

Dr. W. H. Bates ignored his isolation by mainstream ophthalmology. He went on treating his patients. And, by the time he died in 1931, he had already cured thousands of them. They had gotten rid of their glasses as they didn’t need them anymore.

After his death, many volunteers took up his work and continued treating patients. It has now become an institution in itself that promotes alternative ophthalmology, defying the mainstream authority. These volunteers have kept Bates’ legacy alive through almost a century after his death. The Bates Method, as it is famous now, has sculpted a strong niche for itself.

But there is a problem here. The Bates Method, in general, is very slow in improving vision. Very few people afflicted with errors of refraction in their faulty eyes have that kind of patience. They find wearing glasses a ready-made solution and surrender to it.

They don’t know that, by wearing glasses, they are forcing their eyes to keep seeing through them for life. An eye must keep seeing inherently wrong in order to see clear from behind the lens fitted on it. Therefore, they kill any probability of vision improvement for good.

How I Was Able to Change Bates Method of Central Fixation from A Mental Procedure to A Physical One

As far back as my early childhood, I was diagnosed with myopia. My left eye required a lens of minus 5 diopter to see clear. Luckily, my right eye was 20/20. So my optometrist gave me a pair of glasses which I never liked wearing. I could see things with my right eye without any problem. Hence I put my glasses in the drawer of my table and never took them out.

A few years passed. I finished my engineering studies and got appointed to a government job. I was instructed to get my physical examination done in a specified government hospital before I would begin on the job. So, I went for it, aware of the fact that one of my eyes needed a minus 5 diopter lens.

But I was in for both a pleasant and an unpleasant shock at the same time! The doctor told me that both my eyes had myopia requiring minus 2.25 diopter lenses.

The world went upside down as well as downside up for me. My normal 20/20 vision in my right eye had deteriorated to require minus 2.25 diopter lens to see clear. But my faulty eye had spontaneously improved itself from requiring minus 5 diopter lens to just minus 2.25 diopter now.

How did my eyes manage to do so on their own without my conscious awareness of it? It was against the very basic premise upon which all of mainstream ophthalmology had structured its existence.

According to Jessica Lewis, optometrist from Illinois College of Optometry:

“Not wearing glasses, also, cannot change the shape of your eye, so if you stop wearing glasses, you will not make it so that you don‘t need glasses and you will not make it so that your vision returns to normal.”

How can, then, mainstream ophthalmology explain the reversal of my eyesight from minus 5 diopter to minus 2.25 diopter?

It can’t.

Anyway, I lived up to the age of 53 with both of my eyes requiring correction by minus 2.25 diopter lenses. That was before I accidentally stumbled upon a spontaneous and instantaneous clarity of vision one day. Later, I researched the phenomenon to understand it in depth and how to achieve it at will and sustainably.

Earlier, I had mentioned that the Bates Method was slow to provide even the first flashes of clear vision. At times, it was instantaneous but, in general, it took a long time to do so. I was looking for something in the procedure that would make it instantaneous as well as measurable. Here, by instantaneous, I mean a single session of a few hours. Even if it is not full clarity, the amount of clarity gained should be measurable. Measurability would enable such a procedure to get verified under the test conditions that mainstream ophthalmology would, no doubt, insist on.

And this is what the Bates Method, despite being a brilliant procedure, is lacking. It can’t generate measurable improvements in a single session. Hence, it could never decisively pass the challenge of strict scrutiny done under laboratory conditions.

It was because Bates had positioned his method around relaxation of the mind in order to relax the eyes. In relaxing the mind and the eyes, his basic purpose was to attain the central fixation of the mind. The central fixation of the mind led to the central fixation of the eyes. It meant focusing at a single point in the field of vision so that it made its image exactly at the fovea.

Bates contended that central fixation of the eyes was not achievable without achieving central fixation of the mind.

As I have mentioned earlier, the mind is a very vague entity. It has processes inside it that are intangible, meaning you can’t measure them. And, if you can’t measure a thing, you can’t be sure of its objective existence, nor of its strength. You cannot say with 100% surety that you are going the right way. You can’t even be sure of how much of it you need to achieve the desired results.

At times they may click but rarely so. So, you need to keep making trials and errors until you can hit the target. It takes time, and at times, a lot of it. Not to mention, you can’t even create them instantly and at will with 100% surety.

This is what makes the Bates Method unreliable.

But, if we approach this from the perspective of physical effects, it all becomes solid and tangible. And they are not always the effects. At times, they may be the cause to begin with. We can pinpoint them. We can even measure them. Hence, we are more in control of them. That is why we can activate them instantly and to their fullest.

This was what I did with the Bates Method when it came to achieving central fixation of the eyes. I just changed its direction. Bates had directed it from central fixation of the mind to the central fixation of the eyes. I changed it from central fixation of the eyes to the central fixation of the mind.

I did a lot of research on how chakras affected the anatomy and the physiology of our body. As you might know already, the description and approach to chakras in ancient scriptures is deeply embedded in the spiritual arena. Their shallow, modern-day interpretations follow suit without even understanding what spirituality really means. With their mysterious-sounding descriptions, these misplaced interpretations have tended to turn chakras into an esoteric discipline.

I aimed at understanding the physical effect of chakras at different parts of our body, i.e., on its nerves and musculature. Spirituality, like the mind, is not a concrete entity; it is rather even vaguer than the mind. It is esoteric.

Central Fixation Is Instantly Achievable through Skeletal Chakra Meditation

Consequently, what I did with chakras was exactly what I had done with the mind. I addressed the issues associated with chakras from the perspective of their effects on the body. For all we know, these so-called effects might actually be the culprits causing those issues in the first place!

Since body and spirit, like body and mind, are two sides of the same coin, the former affects the latter as well. It is exactly the way in which the latter had affected the former before, if at all so.

This approach enabled me to discover that central fixation of the eyes was exactly what third eye and crown chakra meditation achieved.

Opening the third eye and the crown chakras meant achieving central fixation of the eyes along with central fixation of the mind.

I could now pinpoint it and activate it instantly to its fullest by measuring it properly. And the best thing was I could do it at will!

Of course, it does require some time to open the third eye and the crown chakras through third eye and crown chakra meditation. It is because the muscles in its vicinity need time to loosen up their age-old rigidity. Once they have done that, the eyes start seeing perfectly without any artificial aid worn upon them.

Achieving central fixation through opening all 7 chakras is not only about vision correction. Vision correction is merely an indication that we are on the right track in our journey toward Homo sapiens evolution as a whole. It leads us to a perfect state of biological, mental and spiritual health, replete with the flow of cosmic (or biological) energy through us. It enables us to be in peace with ourselves individually, paving the way toward creating a peaceful world around us. It fills us with intelligent insights to mend our deteriorating sociocultural institutions and, then, to create a colorful world around us. In short, it paves the way to heaven on earth!

My central fixation boosted my immunity to an extent that enabled me to live together with my Covid-19-infected family without ever contracting the virus myself. Though unvaccinated, my innate immunity saved me from catching it even from such close vicinity.

Third eye and crown chakra meditation, or central fixation, not only clarifies eyesight but also benefits the body, the mind and the spirit in the following additional ways:

Immunity Boost | Headache Eradication | Depression Alleviation | Anxiety Eradication | Enhanced Focus | Deeper & Slower Breathing | Improved Circulation | Stronger Heart | Faster Assimilation | Improved Digestion | Smoother Excretion | Hormonal Balance | Autoimmune Diseases Eradication

I would even venture to say that third eye and crown chakra meditation or central fixation is not, as Aldous Huxley would say, ‘The Art of Seeing’ alone. It is actually ‘The Art of Healing’ the body, the mind and the spirit.

Whenever the mind is not in a meditative state, it does something detrimental to the body. As a result, the body constricts some specific muscles that are meant to be relaxed and loosens some others that are meant to be kept contracted. With the continuation of such a mental state, the body keeps those muscles constricted or loosened for long.

With the passage of time, these muscles habituate themselves in those same erroneously constricted or loosened states. And, with the further passage of time, the said constriction or loosening turns unconscious. The affected muscles lose their range of flexibility. They start giving a message to the mind that they are not making any effort.

And the fact is that they really start perceiving their constricted or loosened disposition as relaxation. They don’t even realize that this is a serious reduction in their own innate range of flexibility. They start assuming as if the range was always limited.

We can decide to bring the affected muscles back to their relaxed state, but they resist doing so. So, we need to pull them out of this unconscious habitual constriction or loosening by stretching or contracting them out and up. The constricted or loosened muscles perceive it as an effort and hence feel pseudo-tired in the process.

However, if we show perseverance and continue to stretch or contract the affected muscles out of their constriction or loosening, they listen. And they listen because their unconscious memory - what is often referred to as “muscle memory” - gives them a feeling of doing something right. With the passage of time, they start regaining their lost flexibility and range.

Muscles do take their time to get rid of their constricted rigidity or loosened lethargy. Once they have done it, the entire body-mind system comes back to its natural, spontaneous state. With that, the purpose of said meditation is achieved. Thereon, we only need to ensure that we don’t repeat the old habits in the body or the mind again.

So, which muscles go rigid and which ones go lethargic when vision gets compromised, be it for distance or near reading?

These are the muscles in the vicinity of the third eye and the crown chakras. In fact, the crown chakra is a widening of a narrow third eye chakra by 270 degrees.

Central fixation, through the opening of chakras, not only improves our vision and changes our physiological systems, it also changes us as a person.

At that point, we will already have taken an important step toward Skeletal Leap into the next major Homo sapiens evolution. What is left is to activate the rising of energy from the gut to the brain. And this is where we enter the realm of breath.

Introduction:

In the 24th episode of my podcast, I will take you along to a bio-historical journey through the biological evolution of our skeletal system, driven by the unique adaptation of bipedalism.

As Homo sapiens, our ability to walk upright has not only transformed our mode of movement but has also significantly influenced the structure of our skeleton.

This episode explores how our anatomy has evolved over millions of years, highlighting the changes in foot structure, knee joints, and pelvic orientation.

I dive deep into how these evolutionary changes have led to specific trade-offs that modern humans must navigate. For instance, while bipedalism has made walking more energy-efficient, it has also introduced various postural challenges.

I share my observations from training individuals in skeletal reposturing, revealing that many people distribute their body weight incorrectly on their feet due to years of poor posture. This misalignment can lead to a range of biological and psychological ailments.

A significant aspect of the episode is the connection between skeletal posture and chakras. I present a compelling thesis that unhealthy postures can block chakras, which in turn disrupt our physical and emotional well-being.

I outline how each part of the skeleton corresponds to specific chakras and discuss the actions required to open these energy blocking centers. You will learn about the ideal positions for various skeletal parts, the importance of maintaining proper pelvic tilt, and how these factors relate to common lifestyle diseases.

The episode also addresses the psychological implications of these physical issues, emphasizing the interconnection between the mind and the body. As I explain, opening the root chakra is essential for addressing pelvic tilt issues, which can lead to a cascade of health benefits.

I continue to explore higher chakras, such as the sacral and the solar plexus chakras, and their roles in our overall health. Each chakra’s function is discussed in detail, providing you a comprehensive understanding of how physical posture affects our emotional and spiritual states.

This episode is not just about anatomy; it’s a call to action for you to reassess your posture and consider how it impacts your life. By the end of the episode, you’ll be inspired to take steps toward achieving a healthier skeletal posture and, in turn, a more balanced life.

Join me for this helpful discussion and discover how the skeletal leap can transform your life into a personal heaven. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn a revolutionary procedure and embark on your journey toward optimal health and well-being. Tune in now!

Transcript:

“Evolution, driven by bipedalism, meant that Homo sapiens were the only species to function with an upright gait. This changed the lengths of their legs.”

My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to “Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure”. Skeletal Leap transforms one’s life into a personal heaven.

Today’s episode will tell you about how skeletal re-posturing opens chakras through completing our bipedal skeletal evolution.

Human bipedalism started around 4-7 million years ago when our ancestors named hominins stood on their twos. As it happened, their skeleton started evolving to suit itself 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 were…

New arrangement and size of foot bones | Hip size and shape | Knee size | Leg length | Shape and orientation of vertebral column | Skull orientation

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.

Bipedalism Driven Skeletal Evolution Details

There were other trade-offs as well, all through the skeletal system, that Homo sapiens have been dealing with the adverse effects of, ever since. In the rest of this episode, I will endeavor to describe various parts of our skeleton while pointing out those particular trade-offs that apply to each of those parts. I will, then, go on to describe the ideal position/ posture of those parts while bringing our attention to how we have gotten used to their ‘unhealthy’ versions. This will be followed by descriptions of the corresponding biological/ psychological ailments arising from those ‘unhealthy’ positions/ postures. Finally, I will arrive at my most significant discovery and thesis which is to ascribe the appropriate chakras to these ‘unhealthy’ positions/ postures and their resultant ailments. Needless to say, this will be accompanied with the necessary actions required to dissolve those chakras.

Foot:

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.

The foot, as a platform, didn’t evolve as a flat surface but did so as an arched one. This arching distributed the body weight along the feet from their heels to their balls behind the big toes. This weight distribution conserved a lot of energy while walking.

Here, I feel the need to share my observations from training people in re-posturing through Skeletal Leap. The energy conservation in walking resulting from body weight distribution is the ideal state. What I have noticed in the majority of my trainees is something different. Owing to posturing their body in a wrong way over years and years, they distribute their body weight on the outsides of their feet. Most of them do so toward the outer sides of their heels whereas the rest do toward their little toes. The first thing I always check in my trainees is the soles of their shoes. More specifically, where those soles have worn the most. My data suggest that most of the modern Homo sapiens distribute their body weight on their feet the wrong way.

Today, the human foot is a complex structure of 26 bones, 33 joints and hundreds of muscles, tendons and ligaments. The main joints of the foot are:

Ankle joint | Subtalar joint | Interphalangeal foot articulations

A foot has three parts to it:

The hindfoot comprises the ankle bone (talus) and heel bone (calcaneus). The ankle bone connects to tibia and fibula in the lower leg and forms the ankle joint. At its other end, it connects to the heel bone and forms the subtalar joint.

The midfoot has five bones: the cuboid, navicular and three cuneiform bones from its arches, serving as a shock absorber. It is connected to the hindfoot and the forefoot with muscles and plantar fascia. 

The forefoot comprises five toes and five proximal long bones forming metatarsus. Toe bones are called phalanges. The joints among these phalanges are named interphalangeal joints while joints of phalanges with metatarsus are named metatarsophalangeal joints.

The human foot has two longitudinal and one transverse arches. They make walking and running more energy-efficient.

Knee:

Human knee joints have also evolved to support the increased body weight between just the two of them, as opposed to among the four before bipedalism.

The degree of knee extension, meaning the angle between the thigh and the shank in the walking cycle, has decreased. This change called double knee action reduces energy lost by vertical displacement of the center of gravity. It enables Homo sapiens to keep their knees straight right under the body, improving its balance.

The knee joins the thigh and the leg with two joints, tibiofemoral joint connecting femur with tibia and patellofemoral joint connecting femur and patella.

This modified hinge joint is the largest joint in the body. It very efficiently permits flexion and extension along with a limited internal and external rotation.

Limbs:

Evolution, driven by bipedalism, meant that Homo sapiens were the only species to function with an upright gait. This changed the lengths of their legs. Today, leg muscles are the ones that give a push, through their ankles, to the action of walking. Longer legs also give an effortless swing to the steps without using the muscles every time. Since forelimbs, or hands as we now call them, don’t play any role in the action of walking, they have been freed to be used for other activities.

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’s center of gravity. It further reorganized the internal organs and the biomechanism of the trunk through a double S shaped vertebral column. Today, the double S shape of the vertebral column is an efficient shock absorber. The entire skeletal system thus efficiently shifts the weight of the upper body to the sole of the feet. Long, load bearing legs are also very nicely optimized for bipedalism.

All the large joints of the lower limb are aligned in a vertically oriented straight line.

Hip and Pelvis:

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. The ilium broadened, thereby adjusting the walls of the pelvis to face laterally.

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.

Three pelvic bones fused into one as the hip bone. Today, the hip joins the head of the femur to the acetabulum of the pelvis. This joint supports the weight of the body in its static as well as dynamic state. Thus, the hip joint retains balance and maintains the pelvic inclination angle.

Pelvic Tilt:

Pelvic tilt is a movable postural orientation of the pelvis. It is 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.

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.

There are two reasons for this unhealthy habit formation.

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. The newly acquired 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 load bearing distribution at the knee joints and at the soles of the feet, thus rendering the entire skeletal posture ‘unhealthy’.

The second reason is an emotionally driven, ‘pulled-in’ psychological state that results in same aforementioned ‘unhealthy’ skeletal posture.

The aforementioned anterior pelvic tilt is just one, albeit the most prevalent, of its many abnormal orientations.

The second most prevalent of the abnormal orientations of the pelvic joint is the posterior pelvic tilt.

Here is a complete list of pelvic tilt abnormalities as and when its orientation gets wrongly postured:

• 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.

• Posterior pelvic tilt raises the front of the pelvic relative to the back of the pelvis. It lengthens the hip flexors and shortens the hip extensors.

• Lateral pelvic tilt happens when one keeps pelvis tilted to left or right habitually, resulting in scoliosis.

• Left pelvic tilt keeps the right side of the pelvis raised more than the left side.

• Right pelvic tilt keeps the left side of the pelvis raised more than the right side.

Tailbone vis-à-vis Root Chakra:

Pelvic tilt is the sole cause of a closed root chakra appearing at the lowest point, coccyx (aka tailbone), of the vertebral column. Coccyx lies very near the pelvic belt. And the pelvic tilt drops it down and pushes it forward in the case of a posterior pelvic tilt. When the pelvic tilt is anterior, it still drops the coccyx down but pushes it backward this time. Both these maneuvers sow the seed of closed chakras eventually distorting the double S curve of the vertebral column.

A closed root chakra also disrupts the anatomy and hence the physiology of the pelvis, hip and the lower limb. It disrupts the pelvic, hip, knee, ankle and subtalar joints with interphalangeal articulations of the feet and the associated muscles, nerves and blood vessels.

As a result, the tailbone (coccyx) drops down as well as moves forward or backward at the pelvis. The body weight distribution on the hip, 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 is due to anterior pelvic tilt, constipation gets replaced with chronic diarrhea.

Symptoms of root chakra blockage are indicators of lifestyle diseases related to the root chakra.

It makes us feel ungrounded biologically as well as psychologically. Hence it keeps us perennially concerned with survival and material security in life.

More specifically, a posterior pelvic tilt turns us into misers who fear losing whatever little we have. Biologically, this manifests as constipation, belly fat and/ or hemorrhoids.

On the other hand, an anterior pelvic tilt turns us into spendthrifts. Contrary to common perception, this comes from a place of greed. Here, I’d like to bring our attention back to a point I made earlier, i.e., the opposite of fear is not courage but greed. Therefore, it makes us believe that our wealth would never deplete even when a lot of it gets lost. Biologically, this leads to chronic diarrhea.

Both types of pelvic tilts are accompanied by other symptoms such as acidity and loss of appetite.

Opening the root chakra reverses the wrong done to the pelvic tilt and makes the ideal pelvic posture one’s first nature. Doing away with our pelvic tilt tends to start the first step toward a ‘healthy’ skeletal re-posturing.

Vertebral Column:

The vertebral column of Homo sapiens, in its natural posture, has a forward bend in its lumbar region.

Above this, it has a backward bend in its thoracic region. Together, these two bends give rise to the double S shape of the vertebral column. Without its forward bend in its lumbar region, the body would have kept leaning forward. In that case it would have needed a huge effort to stand upright.

The forward bend in the lumbar region and the backward bend in the thoracic region keep the body straight. These two bends do so by keeping the body’s center of gravity vertically in line with its feet.

The vertebral column is what makes Homo sapiens a vertebrate that has a long chain of vertebrae separated by intervertebral discs. Their nomenclature is done by their region – denoted by a letter – within the vertebral column and their position – denoted by a number – within that region. The vertebral column also has a spinal canal for housing the spinal cord.

Nomenclature of the vertebrae: Cervical spine 7 vertebrae (C1 - C7) | Thoracic spine 12 vertebrae (T1 - T12) | Lumbar spine 5 vertebrae (L1 -L5) | Sacrum 5 fused vertebrae (S1 -S5) | Coccyx 4 fused vertebrae (Tailbone)

There are 33 vertebrae in the vertebral column. The upper 24 of them are of the articulating type and separated from one another by intervertebral discs. The lower 9 of them are of the fused type in human adults, 5 in the sacrum and 4 in the coccyx. Ligaments at the front, back and in between the vertebrae help lengthen the vertebral column. These ligaments join the spinous processes, the transverse processes and the vertebral laminae.

Atlas and axis are the topmost vertebrae in the cervical region and they support the head.

Vertebral body and vertebral arch are the two parts of a vertebra placed anteriorly and posteriorly respectively. These two parts that are in contact with each other enclose the vertebral foramen through which the spinal cord passes.

The vertebral arch comprises two pedicles and two laminae. The arch performs seven processes out of which 4 are articular, 2 are transverse and one is spinous (aka neural spine). The spinous process comes out the back and the two transverse processes come out left and right respectively. Vertebrae are joined by a thin portion of the neural arch called the pars interarticularis with facet joints that allow a restricted movement. Each pair of two vertebrae contains two small holes between them. These holes are named intervertebral foramina. Spinal nerves go out of the spinal cord to the organs through these holes.

As a result of bipedal evolution, the vertebral column got curved at numerous places to stabilize the body in an upright position.

Here is a list of curves in the vertebral column comprising their vertebrae:

C2 - T2: convex forward (lordotic curve) | T2 - T12: concave forward (kyphotic curve) | T12 - S1: convex forward (lordotic curve) | S1 - Tailbone: concave forward (kyphotic curve)

Curvature abnormalities are of four types:

Kyphosis - excessive kyphotic curve | Lordosis - excessive lordotic curve | Scoliosis - lateral curvature | Kyphoscoliosis - combination of kyphosis and lordosis

Sacral Plexus vis-à-vis Sacral Chakra:

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 is a formation that comprises:

The lumbosacral trunk | The anterior division of the first sacral nerve | Parts of the anterior divisions of the 2nd and 3rd sacral nerves

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.

Sacral plexus is positioned at the back of the pelvis and is fed by the superior and inferior gluteal arteries and veins.

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 of the lower S of the double S shaped vertebral column.

Constant compression of the sacral plexus results in the suppression of the aesthetic 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 meaning. Its concerns, including curiosity, creativity, sexual drive and potency, fill the pursuit of life with joy and passion.

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 a closed sacral chakra.

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 is just a question of keeping the vertebral column raised at its sacral region by making it one’s first nature.

There is a caveat here. The sacral chakra cannot be effectively opened until and unless the root chakra below it is already opened.

Solar Plexus vis-à-vis Solar Plexus Chakra:

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:

Splanchnic nerves - paired visceral nerves with fibers from autonomic nervous system and organs innervating visceral organs | Anterior vagal trunk - a branch of the vagus nerve with fibers from the left vagus primarily | Posterior vagal trunk - a branch of vagus nerve with fibers from the right vagus primarily

Solar plexus also comprises smaller plexuses within, namely:

Hepatic plexus - receiving filaments from left vagus and right phrenic nerves | Splenic plexus - formed by the left celiac ganglion and the right vagus nerve | Gastric plexus - joining branches from the left vagus nerve | Pancreatic plexus - another solar plexus division | Suprarenal plexus - receiving branches from the celiac ganglion and splanchnic nerves

Solar plexus chakra arises from the L1 vertebra being dropped and tucked in, thereby compressing the thoracic diaphragm along its length.

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’s persona causing one to lose their spirit of interaction, adventure and initiative.

Belly fat leading to obesity, lower back pain, and breathing problems, including asthmatic symptoms, are the lifestyle diseases that stem from the solar plexus chakra.

The way to open the solar plexus chakra is simply to remove its compression by raising the L1 up and out. It further pronounces the lower S of the double S shape in the vertebral column. Once we have learnt how to effectively do this, we just need to make it our first nature.

There is a caveat here. Solar plexus chakra cannot be effectively opened unless the root chakra and the sacral chakra below it are already opened.

Pectoral Muscles vis-à-vis Heart Chakra:

Innervated by the lateral pectoral nerve (C5 - C7) and the medial pectoral nerve (C8 - T1), pectoral muscles have two parts:

Pectoralis major - flexes, extends and rotates humerus | Pectoralis minor - stabilizes the scapula

The pectoralis major is a thick, fan-shaped convergent muscle located in the chest. Its functions are flexion, extension and rotation of the humerus.

It performs four movements for the shoulder joint:

Flexion of the humerus like in heavy weight lifting while doing biceps curls | Adduction of the humerus like in arm-flapping | Rotating the humerus medially like in arm-wrestling | Keeping arms attached to torso like in military “attention” posture

Out of the above four actions, only the second one keeps its associated vertebral upper S shape intact at the C8 - T1 vertebrae. The same holds good for the C5 - C7 vertebrae. The remaining three tend to turn it into an inverted C shape. Also, when we stretch our body for relaxation, it performs the second action alone.

Hence, it is 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.

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 - T1 vertebrae into an inverted C shape.

The pectoralis minor is a thin, triangular muscle located in the upper chest under the pectoralis major muscle, which is innervated by the medial pectoral nerve (C8 - T1) alone. Same is true about the pectoralis minor which is also able to stabilize scapulae when postured like in the aforementioned second action of the shoulder joint.

This second action is also the one that we adopt for hugging someone.

And that is how we know that an open heart chakra is concerned most with love, kindness and compassion. If it is closed, it leads to narrowness of the heart, keeping us emotionally/ passionately isolated from our fellow beings on earth.

Symptoms that point to the existence of a closed heart chakra, like high blood pressure or hypertension, heart attack and heart failure, are all lifestyle diseases that stem from the heart chakra.

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.

Deltoid Muscle vis-à-vis Throat Chakra:

Innervated by the 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:

Anterior (clavicular) - fibers assist pectoralis major to flex the shoulder | Posterior (scapular) - fibers assist latissimus dorsi to extend the shoulder like in rowing movements | Intermediate (acromial) - fibers perform shoulder abduction

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.

Hence it is 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.

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.

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 mobility to move freely. 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 is closed, it corrupts our communication and logical comprehension.

Symptoms of the throat chakra include diabetes, hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.

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 opened.

Skull vis-à-vis Third Eye and Crown Chakras:

The skull of the Homo sapiens is freely balanced on the vertebral column at its first vertebra named Atlas, denoted together by the letter C (for cervical) and the number 1 (for first) as C1. 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, the occipitofrontalis (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.

The size of the human brain has also played a very big role in bipedal evolution. It is 3-4 times larger for its body size than that of its nearest evolutionary relative, the chimpanzee.

The skull acts as a protective cavity for the brain. It houses the majority of the sense organs including eyes, ears, nose and tongue. It has two parts to it, the neurocranium and membraneous viscerocranium with the mandible as the latter’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 the temporomandibular joints.

In all, the skull has 22 bones in it. Out of these, eight are the cranial bones:

Occipital bone | Temporal bones (2) | Parietal bones (2) | Sphenoid bone | Ethmoid bone | Frontal bone

There are 14 more bones in the facial skeleton:

Vomer | Inferior nasal conchae (2) | Nasal bones (2) | Maxilla (2) | Mandible | Palatine bones (2) | Zygomatic bones (2) | Lacrimal bones (2)

Also, there are paranasal sinuses (air-filled cavities lined with respiratory epithelium) and numerous foramina (openings in the skull).

In episode 21, 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. You will also find a full account of the only movable temporomandibular joints in the skull there. I had described it there in the context of how the mind got structured and could be emptied. You can go back and check these if you need to refresh their description in context of this episode again.

Symptoms that point to the existence of the third eye and crown chakras mainly include problems in one’s vision, chronic headaches and signs of stress.

An open third eye chakra is characterized by a sharp perception. Similarly an open crown chakra is characterized by a deep insight into life.

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 can see 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 degrees.

In fact, as I discovered, there are two types of visual central fixation possible.

One is associated with an open third eye chakra alone, providing a crystal clear, bright and sharp tunnel vision aka perception. It is achieved by relaxing the frontalis muscle while accommodating with the help of occipitalis. Everything outside of this tunnel is blurred and dull.

The other one is associated with both, an open crown chakra and an open third eye chakra. This central fixation provides a crystal clear, bright, sharp and wide vision including peripheral vision, perception as well as empathy. It is 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.

In the second type of central fixation, the eyes turn extraordinarily bright and empathetically shiny. I call this shine the real ‘smize’.

Also, the sharpness of the eyesight is closely linked with an insight into life. The brain’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 as well. Therefore, we must really say that our eyes are the real windows to the brain and not to the mind!

That is 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.

Let’s not forget that same caveat here! The crown chakra cannot be effectively opened unless third eye chakra is already opened. Also, the third eye chakra cannot be effectively opened unless the throat chakra is opened.

Thanks for listening to this episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure! In the next episode, I will tell you about an unintended evidence strengthening the skeletal chakra hypothesis via achieving central fixation of the eyes.

Introduction:

In today’s episode, I explain the intricate world of stress, exploring both its biological and psychological dimensions in detail.

Stress is a universal experience, yet its effects can vary significantly depending on how we perceive and internalize it.

I break down the concept of stress, categorizing it into biological stress, which is managed by our nervous system, and psychological stress, which is rooted in our emotional responses.

Our biological response to stress involves complex systems like the autonomic nervous system and the HPA axis, which trigger a fight or flight response. This response is essential for survival, but chronic activation can lead to a host of health issues, including immune dysfunction and chronic diseases.

I emphasize that even positive stressors can contribute to our overall stress levels, highlighting the complexity of our interactions with the world around us.

The psychological aspect of stress is equally compelling. Drawing from the work of Hans Selye, who introduced the concepts of eustress and distress, I explain how our emotional pain can be both manageable and debilitating.

I also discuss the concept of hardiness – the ability to endure stress while maintaining health – and suggest a new perspective: lightness. Instead of viewing stress as a heavy burden, I encourage you to adopt traits of interest, insight, and adventure, which can help lighten the load.

One of the most fascinating parts of the episode is the discussion on how skeletal reposturing and chakra opening can transform our relationship with stress.

I share my insights into how guided skeletal meditation and energy ascension can facilitate this transformation, leading to a state of perpetual joy and lightness. This approach not only addresses stress but also promotes overall well-being.

You are invited to join the Skeletal Leap Community and learn more about how to achieve this state of lightness.

Transcript:

“The source of psychological stress can either be external or internal, but in both cases one internalizes the resultant pain.”

My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to “Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure”. Skeletal Leap transforms one’s life into a personal heaven.

Today’s episode will tell you about what stress really means in terms of chakras and skeletal postures.

Stress is a situation perceived by an organism either as a threat or a challenge that needs to be coped with.

In case of Homo sapiens, this type of situation has two layers to it. The first one is biological stress and the second, psychological.

In the case of biological stress, it is the nervous system that perceives it as a threat or challenge. But in the case of psychological stress, it is the mind that comprehends the brain’s perception as either a threat or as a challenge.

Biological Stress

In Homo sapiens, the following biological systems respond to stress:

• Autonomic nervous system

• Hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis

Sympathoadrenal medullary (SAM) axis is capable, via the sympathetic nervous system, of switching a ‘fight or flight’ response on. It directs a major portion of the body’s energy resources to cope with the perceived stress before returning to homeostasis via the parasympathetic nervous system.

On the other hand, the HPA axis releases cortisol to take care of metabolic and immunological functions in the meantime. The SAM and HPA axes are regulated by the following brain regions:

Limbic system | Prefrontal cortex | Amygdala | Hypothalamus | Stria terminalis

These coping mechanisms perceive stressors as one among the five possible categories:

• Acute time-limited stressors posing a short term challenge

• Brief naturalistic stressors - normal yet challenging

• Stressful event sequences - sudden onset continuing in immediate future

• Chronic stressors continuing for long terms in future

• Distant stressors - set to affect in distant future

Physiological stress disturbs the organism’s homeostasis which responds by stimulating the nervous, endocrine and immune systems. This activates physical changes showing their short or long term effects on the body.

Homeostasis is an ideal state of biochemical equilibrium. It often keeps getting disrupted by internal and external stimuli, thereby keeping it in a state of continual flux. But if and when this disruption goes beyond a certain range, we experience it as stress.

In the presence of acute stress, the sympathetic nervous system takes over with a ‘fight or flight’ response involving:

Mydriasis | Increased heart beats | Vasoconstriction | Glycogenolysis | Bronchodilation | Gluconeogenesis | Sweating | Lipolysis | Decreased motility of digestive system | Apinephrine and cortisol secretion from adrenal medulla | Relaxation of bladder wall

After having coped with stress, the parasympathetic nervous system reestablishes ‘rest and digest’ aka homeostasis response involving:

Miosis | Bronchoconstriction | Increased motility of digestive system | Contraction of bladder walls

The HPA axis is a neuroendocrine system for stress response which stimulates the steroid hormones.

Stress also affects the immune system negatively.

In fact, chronic long-term stress affects our quality of life by creating:

Immune system dysfunction | Chronic diseases | Impaired growth in children | Fibromyalgia | Chronic fatigue syndrome | Depression | Functional somatic syndromes | Heart disease | Asthma | Diabetes | Headaches | Alzheimer’s disease | Accelerated aging | Premature death | Insomnia | Eating disorders | Anxiety and panic attacks | Colds and viruses | Circulatory problems | Cancer

It is not only negative stressors that add to the stress level, even the positive stressors do the same. Here is a list of some categories that some common stressors belong to:

• Sensory inputs like pain, bright lights, noise, temperatures, etc.

• Environmental issues like lack of food, water, housing, health, freedom, mobility, etc.

• Social issues like struggles, defeats, relationship conflicts, deception, break ups, births, deaths, marriages, divorces, etc.

• Life experiences like poverty, sudden wealth acquisition, unemployment, depression, OCD, lack of sleep, performance pressures, exams, deadlines, etc.

• Accidental experiences like sexual abuse, traumas, etc.

Psychological Stress

Psychological stress is a feeling of emotional pain. Small amounts of them are manageable as well as motivating at times but their excess is debilitating.

The source of psychological stress can either be external or internal, but in both cases one internalizes the resultant pain.

Hans Selye came up with quite a few experiments on stress and its theories in the 1930s. He conceived the theory of universal, non-specific stress response and initiated extensive research programs in academic physiology.

Despite wide acceptance of his theories, experimental physiologists soon started opposing what they considered ‘vague’ approaches in his research. Hence, in the 1950s, he turned away from experimental physiology and started promoting his theories via popular books and public speeches.

His book titled ‘Stress of Life’ addressed to the general public turned out to be an international bestseller.

His was a biopsychosocial concept of stress and dynamic adaptation to changing global challenges. It promised health and happiness to anyone that successfully employed this approach.

He coined the terms ‘eustress’ for positive stress and ‘distress’ for negative stress. He also coined the term ‘stressor’ to mean the cause of stress as separate from the state of stress. On top of it, he redefined tobacco smoking as a ‘diversion’ or a ‘deviation’ from environmental stress.

Starting from the latter part of the 1960s, psychologists increasingly adopted Selye’s approach. They undertook extensive research to establish connections between stress and stress-related diseases.

By the latter part of the 1970s, stress had entered the common parlance globally. New research was conducted into the neuroendocrine, molecular and immunological aspects of stress. This new research is no longer directly tied to Selye’s hypotheses though it doesn’t negate it either. In the wake of the Vietnam War, a lot of research went into the newly coined ‘post-traumatic stress disorder’ (PTSD).

By the onset of the 1990s, stress had become one of the biggest buzzwords while referring to the modern-day health and its complications.

The discourse on stress spanned the entire spectrum from mild irritation to ultimate nervous breakdown.

As recently as 2015, it was established through surveys that people’s greatest stressors were ‘money’, ‘family responsibility’ and ‘work’.

A New Personality Style: Hardiness

In the year 1979, Suzanne C. Kobasa had discovered a new personality style, which he named ‘hardiness’. It referred to the ability of a person to be chronically stressed yet healthy at the same time. This meant that the harmful effects of stress were not the same for all. They were as much due to stressors as they were due to the fallible personality styles. And if we were able to train people to adopt ‘hardiness’ as their personality style, the problem of stress would be gone.

In 1984, Salvadore Maddi with Kobasa and their graduate students in the University of Chicago came up with another book. The book was titled “The hardy executive: Health under stress” and it further elaborated the analysis of hardiness. It carried along a series of research reports done with executives in it.

Since then, a lot of further research has been done on military groups, teachers, firefighters and students along with executives.

In addition, several efforts have been made to train people to adopt hardy personalities with mixed results.

Research is still going on as newer training modules are being tried to achieve definitive results.

Hardiness suggests a personality structure dispositioned along the traits of commitment, control and challenge:

• Commitment was defined as a trait to get involved in what one was doing.

• Control was defined as a trait that made one believe one would be able to effect a change.

• Challenge was defined as a trait that took everything including life in flux rather than stability.  

In my opinion, the best example of a hardy personality was the co-founder of Apple Inc. named Steve Jobs. But the most charismatic man that he was, he too could not keep himself healthy. This exceptionally hardy man died of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor resulting in respiratory arrest at a young age of 55.

What does that show? Is the entire hypothesis of Suzanne C. Kobasa a faulty one?

I don’t think so. I have my own example in front of me having similar (though not the same) traits in my personality. And I cannot write off hardiness that easily. I’m quite healthy in my 70s while I am speaking these lines. As you already know, although I was born with myopia and contracted viral arthritis which then turned into rheumatoid arthritis in six months, I was able to cure both with central fixation.

I see a huge potential in Kobasa’s hypothesis of hardiness.

A Newer Personality Style: Lightness

I would like to change a few things in Kobasa’s hypothesis. First of all, I would change its name from ‘Hardiness’ to ‘Lightness’. Next, I would change its traits from ‘commitment, control and challenge’ to ‘interest, insight and adventure’.

Hardiness, in general, can be heavy but we need it to be light rather than heavy. Doesn’t matter if it is hard or soft. If it is light, it’ll be able to fight; like traveling light is always way more manageable than traveling with a lot of heavy stuff.

Commitment, as a structure of the mind, requires us to believe in it. And belief turns the mind heavy. On the other hand, interest is an instinct generated out of curiosity. We don’t need to believe in it. Thus, curiosity keeps our mind light. At the same time, it is much hardier and lighter than commitment.

Control evokes conflict. It makes our mind even heavier. Insight, on the other hand, keeps it light because it arises directly out of the lightness of curiosity and interest. Therefore, it is more effective in creating change.

Challenge, again, evokes conflict rather than passion or joy. It fills us with pride which, in turn, makes our mind heavy. Adventure, as an instinct, is the better alternative. It has very deep roots in our psyche and it keeps us light and agile.

These three traits - interest, insight and adventure - do a splendid job of keeping us healthy. They are effective even under the toughest of biological stresses born out of an ever-changing environment.

Psychological stress doesn’t even stand a chance because it vanishes the moment we become carefree and ‘light’ by emptying our mind. We don’t need to be heavy like dinosaurs. We just need to be light like birds. That is perhaps why the next phase of evolution after dinosaurs gave rise to birds. This brings us to the question, “How can people be trained to adopt lightness as a personality style?”

That is easy. Skeletal Leap already has a well researched and documented system of opening chakras through skeletal re-posturing. Once the re-postured skeleton becomes one’s first nature, the opened chakras allow energy to rise through the body. Then comes guided meditation. It pulls the Kundalini upward relieving the body of stress. This ascension of energy along Sushumna from the coccyx to the crown chakra is the same as the neural communication along the vagus nerve from the gut to the brain. The entire process results in a state of perennial joy and unbound passion, turning the mind empty and hence light. In our following episodes, we will see how this process unfolds, step by step.

Thanks for listening to this episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure! In the next episode, I will tell you about how skeletal re-posturing opens chakras through completing our bipedal skeletal evolution.

Introduction:

In this episode of Skeletal Leap, I decided to embark upon an enlightening journey through the intricate relationship between genomic research and lifestyle diseases.

As I dive deep into the complexities of human health, you should be able to learn that the evolution of our species has not only shaped our physical forms but also our susceptibility to various diseases.

The episode emphasizes that lifestyle diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular issues, are not merely products of our modern sedentary lifestyles but are deeply rooted in our genetic makeup.

I also explain how ancestral alleles, which were once advantageous in ancient environments, can become detrimental in today’s rapidly changing world.

This genetic predisposition, coupled with environmental factors, has led to an alarming rise in lifestyle diseases globally.

One of the key takeaways from this episode is the concept of “body intelligence.” I explain that our bodies possess an innate ability to heal themselves, often more effectively than medical interventions.

This philosophy forms the foundation of Skeletal Leap’s approach, which incorporates skeletal meditations aimed at restoring balance and health through chakra healing.

By focusing on specific chakras, you can enhance your body’s natural healing processes and address the root causes of their ailments.

I also encourage you to consider your unique genetic histories and how these may influence your health.

I underline the importance of personalized medicine, and suggest that understanding our genetic backgrounds can empower us to take proactive steps in managing our health.

The episode also touches on the role of stress in exacerbating lifestyle diseases, setting the stage for future discussions on how to combat stress through skeletal practices.

As you navigate through the complexities of modern health challenges, this episode serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of our genetic heritage, lifestyle choices, and overall well-being.

By embracing holistic approaches like those offered in Skeletal Leap, you can strive towards a healthier future, harnessing both ancient wisdom and contemporary scientific advancements.

Tune in to this thought-provoking episode to gain insights that could transform your understanding of health and healing.

Transcript:

“Latest developments in genomic research and technology have made it possible to sequence genomes of any species from the tree of life.”

My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to “Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure”. Skeletal Leap transforms one’s life into a personal heaven.

Today’s episode will tell you about how lifestyle diseases and immune system dysfunction take a toll on human health.

Summoning energy and healing lifestyle diseases are the two outcomes Skeletal Leap strives to achieve while filling the leftover holes in the bipedal evolution of Homo sapiens along the way.

Let’s learn a bit more about the etiology and prognosis of various lifestyle diseases. Knowing their ins and outs will equip us to eradicate them through Skeletal Leap more easily.

Evolution of Human Disease

As life evolved, so did disease.

Life took shape via DNA replication as well as the process of adaptation. It is against this ancient code that its young genetic variants interact with modern environments. This interaction ends up generating human disease phenotypes.

Latest developments in genomic research and technology have made it possible to sequence genomes of any species from the tree of life. Disease came into existence as soon as unicellular life came into existence. These unicellular organisms divided themselves symmetrically and, therefore, never died. As asymmetric cell division evolved, it resulted in multicellular organisms. These new organisms experienced reduced cellular damage. However they paid a huge price for it in the form of aging and, eventually, death.

Multicellularity further evolved many more times enabling complex body structures with intricate communications between them. But each step in this evolutionary saga was accompanied by newer disease patterns. That was how cancer, for example, came to existence. It was a direct result of increased DNA repairs and mutations in the caretaker genes. Later, gatekeeper genes appeared to regulate cell growth, communication and death, thus generating immune systems for the organism. Further evolution of immune systems generated new diseases just like multicellularity had done. Like when the human immune system co-evolved with parasites, the parasite infection generated another immune response in humans.

New anatomical structures like eyes, limbs, pregnancy, et cetera evolved through adaptation and integration of already existing genes with regulatory circuits. The resulting genes simultaneously affect many different traits and shape substrates on which new diseases appear as trade offs for evolution.

Diseases have their own evolutionary histories. These histories get archived in our genomes. Genomic advances have enabled us to read those histories in great details.

Anatomically modern humans (AMHs) first came to exist in Africa around 200,000 years ago. Around 100,000 years ago, they started moving out of Africa and quickly spread across Eurasia. From there, groups of these early AMHs expanded into Americas around 35,000 to 15,000 years ago.

Once they migrated, they came into contact with other archaic hominin groups like Neanderthals and Denisovans. They got admixed with them carrying around 2% of their ancestry from Neanderthals which they still do. However, even in the modern African population, traces of admixture with other unknown archaic hominins have been found.

Exponential Evolutionary Growth within The Past 10,000 Years

After their expansion throughout the globe, humans went through an exponential growth within the past 10,000 years. Population explosion modified their genetic architecture of traits. This, in turn, increased their chances of genetic selection for different variants. That is how we find considerable differences in allele frequency among different populations with different disease risks.

Alleles denote the variants of a certain gene; like ABO blood group is controlled by ABO gene with six variants. Allele frequency is the relative frequency of an allele at a specific locus in a population expressed as a percentage.

Evolution has never been a perfect jump or adaptation from one stage to another. Also, genetic changes have never been able to ensure the best evolutionary progress. Genes have existed as varied yet co-existing alleles at the same location on a chromosome.

Exposures of different human groups to different new environments forced them to adapt. But these rapid changes and adaptations also generated complex patterns of new diseases. Hence diseases like obesity, diabetes, heart disease and other hormonal dysfunctions came to existence as lifestyle diseases as a result of sedentary lifestyles.

Ancestral alleles adapted for ancient environments increased the risk of disease in modern environments. That is how both ancient and newly derived alleles increase the risk of disease. And that is why ancestral risk alleles are more prevalent in African populations whereas newly derived alleles risk Eurasian populations more.

What makes us vulnerable to a specific disease today is a recent genetic variation in our ancient gene systems. Every single person may have unique genomes depending on their genetic histories. These genetic histories change with their geographical journeys through evolution and adaptations to different environments. Latest genomic advances have enabled us to unearth every single individual’s historical tendencies to various illnesses in greater detail. It enables us to treat their illnesses in the most individualized manner, thereby making it the most effective.

Environmental Changes Vs Genetic Disposition

But the most recent environmental changes and socio-psychological factors are much bigger causes of disease than genetic disposition. How do we deal with them?

Ancestral susceptibility model proposes that the ancestral alleles were adapted as per the ancient environments. However, these alleles were not flexible enough to cope with environments that changed rapidly over the past 10,000 years. They can then generate risks of evolutionary mismatch in those changed environments leading to disease.

Here arises a very important question that needs to be answered in a very clear way. Forming of alleles is understandable as natural selection is always a trial and error process. But what makes this process so rigid as to be inept at coping with rapidly changing environments?

Here is a quote from an article from New York University. It says…

“A new analysis concludes that the ability of early humans to adjust to changing conditions ultimately enabled the earliest species of Homo to vary, survive, and begin spreading from Africa to Eurasia, marking a reconsideration of the evolutionary factors that drove these changes.”

- NYU 3 July 2014, Early Humans’ Adaptability to Changing Environment Offers New Insights into Evolution

If it is so, why aren’t we able to live a healthy life anywhere on Earth today?

Let’s look into various diseases separately to try answering this more general question regarding health and disease.

Alzheimer’s disease:

Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease, i.e., a disease of brain cells leading to gradual memory loss. It first starts with forgetting the most recent events. Later it moves on to affect language, orientation, emotions, motivation and behavior. In the advanced stages, even involuntary memory begins to wane. That is when the patient starts moving toward death. It takes a few (3-9) years, from its onset to eventual demise.

Genetic factors and environment, both play their role in the progression of this disease, like any other. The strongest of the genetic factors is an allele of apolipoprotein E (APOE) metabolizing fats in the body. Clinical depression and hypertension are also the possible risk factors.

Only 1 - 2% of the cases are inherited. Most cases are sporadic with late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD) afflicting after the age of 65.

I come from a family that had three of its members succumbing to Alzheimer’s disease. But then, there were others in the family who never contracted it. I hope I am one among those who never do, especially when I have my central fixation intact! An open crown chakra tends to keep Alzheimer’s away.

Why do I say so? It is an insight that I got from opening my crown chakra, thus curing my lifelong myopia. Though when it happened, I never knew what my body had done to cure me. It is my contention that body intelligence is way bigger than the intelligence of our conscious mind. It does its healing silently. And body intelligence works the best when its anatomy is not compromised, paving the way to its physiology working impeccably. And to a certain extent, this intelligence works most efficiently in the vicinity of its actual physical location. Hence, almost all the irregularities taking place in the skull region are most affected by the skull anatomy getting compromised.

This forms the foundation on which Skeletal Leap’s case for healing lifestyle diseases is built. This would then coincide with the healthiest phase of bipedal evolution, devoid of all those leftover holes. This was what had cured my myopia in the first place when my skull entered its healthiest phase as part of my own personal bipedal evolution.

A healthy anatomy lies at the root of a healthy physiology. And when the skeletal meditations facilitated by Skeletal Leap open the related chakra, it is the anatomy of that local area which turns healthier. It turns their related physiology healthier too.

The best part is that the body does all this healing on its own regardless of whether we are able to rationalize it through logical analysis or not. This silent healing process of the body is very potent.

And this is the healing philosophy that Skeletal Leap bases all its skeletal meditations on. They tend to heal the anatomy of the body which, in turn, tends to heal the associated diseases based on its own superior intelligence. This superior intelligence works way better and way faster than any analytical procedures invented by medical science to date.

Arthritis:

Arthritis means disorders affecting joints, turning them stiff and painful while limiting their movement.

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that affects fingers, knees and hips. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that affects hands and feet. Other joint conditions like gout, lupus, fibromyalgia and septic arthritis are all different types of rheumatic diseases.

Arthritis, in general, can be any among the following types characterized by joints alone:

Osteoarthritis | Rheumatoid Arthritis | Gout and Pseudo-gout | Septic Arthritis | Ankylosing Spondylitis | Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis | Still’s Disease | Psoriatic Arthritis

Joint pains can also exist as a secondary symptom of some other main disease, like:

Psoriasis | Reactive Arthritis | Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome | Iron Overload | Hepatitis | Lyme Disease | Sjogren’s Disease | Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis | Celiac Disease | Non-celiac Gluten Sensitivity | Inflammatory Bowel Disease | Henoch-Schonlein Purpura | Hyperimmunoglobulinemia D with Recurrent Fever | Sarcoidosis | Whipple’s Disease

The Story of My Encounter with Arthritis

In 2019, while I was in a traumatized state due to long-suppressed anger, 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.

As I generally do in response to any infection, I didn’t consult any physician but decided to wait and watch. Five months passed without any improvement in the situation. Ultimately I consulted a specialist who gave me a strong course of medication for one week. He assured me I would be okay within a week.

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’s face. He had already done the best he could have. He took a stance that mine was not a case of viral arthritis as such. He said it was most probably the onset of rheumatoid arthritis. Hence he referred me to the most popular rheumatoid specialist in the city.

This scared me because rheumatoid arthritis, unlike viral arthritis, was an autoimmune disease. And I was aware that medical science hadn’t yet been able to invent a total cure for any autoimmune irregularity.

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 most probably so, he started me on a course of what I call “medicinal management”. It meant that I was doomed to live with this condition for the rest of my life, managing the disease perennially.

I told him I wasn’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’t, I would rather say bye to the world. He could not say yes but tried his best to change my mind and gave me a month-long course of medication.

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 medication 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 dose, I’d continue living.

In the end, to make things lighter, I said, “If I do, I will invite rheumatoid patients the world over to come to me for a permanent cure!”

He was ready, smiling with his funnily crisp reply, “Hey! I need to put food on the table for my family too!”

I immediately started focusing on central fixation of my body; something I had ignored due to my trauma.

The chakras that helped me the most in healing my condition through dissolving (or opening) themselves were solar plexus chakra, throat chakra and crown chakra. I can understand if, now, you are wondering to yourself, “If existence of chakras is the problem, how can they ‘help’?” Let me explain. Solar plexus chakra opened up to keep my thoracic diaphragm relaxed making my exhalations longer than my inhalations while breathing. Opening the throat chakra brought my arms and hands back to their natural posture for good. And an open crown chakra took care of my autoimmune tendency.

I lived! Not only lived, I thrived. And I have never needed arthritis medication since.

Atherosclerosis:

Atherosclerosis narrows the walls of the arteries due to atheromatous plaque buildup causing lesions in the artery walls. The narrowing of arteries reduces the flow of oxygenated blood to the associated body parts. With the passage of time, it may lead to coronary artery disease, stroke, peripheral artery disease or complications in the kidney.

The process of atheromatous plaque buildup is not well understood. It retains low density lipoprotein in the walls of these arteries. Whether this retention is the cause or an effect of the entire inflammatory process remains a mystery.

The plaque deposited in the muscle cells of the artery walls makes them stretch to accommodate its bulk. This makes the artery wall stiff and unable to stretch further with every heartbeat.

The condition ends up in hypertension and heart condition in the due course of time. As of now, its medical prognoses are largely guesswork.

I propose that opening the solar plexus and heart chakras tends to both, prevent and cure atherosclerosis.

As I have pointed earlier, Skeletal Leap with the help of its skeletal meditations can heal the body anatomy in the region of the lungs and heart, especially in the main arteries nearby. This healed anatomy automatically heals the compromised physiology of the associated organs through innate body intelligence.

This is what Hippocrates, Father of Medicine, meant when he said, “Disease [is] not an entity, but a fluctuating condition of the patient’s body, a battle between the substance of disease and the natural self-healing tendency of the body.”

Asthma:

Asthma inflames the air passages to and from the lungs resulting in obstruction of the breathing process. It causes wheezing, coughing, a tightened chest and a very short breathing pattern. Episodes of asthmatic fits can occur at a frequency ranging from a few times a day to a few times a week.

Asthma is considered to be a psychosomatic disease, caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The disease doesn’t have any permanent cure but is manageable with the use of inhalers comprising beta-2 agonists like salbutamol and corticosteroids.

It is a widespread disease throughout the world affecting 262 million people that killed 461,000 of them in 2019 alone.

It is my contention that the chakra attached to this psychosomatic disease is the solar plexus chakra which tends to set asthma right when opened.

Asthma is a psychosomatic disease in which the trachea gets compromised, both in its anatomy and physiology. Skeletal Leap uses skeletal meditations to heal its anatomy which, in turn, can then heal itself.

Cancer:

Cancer signifies uncontrolled cell growth that may spread to the neighboring parts of the body. More than 90% cases are caused by mutations owing to environmental and lifestyle factors. The rest of them are caused by inherited genetics.

How does a normal cell turn into a cancerous cell? In order to change its regulation, its genes must get altered in one way or another. These altered genes comprise oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Oncogenes promote cell growth and reproduction. Tumor suppressor genes inhibit cell division and survival.

Mutations cause a gain or loss of a portion of a chromosome.

So, the process develops as follows:

• A mutation takes place in the error correcting system in a cell.

• A further mutation takes place in an oncogene causing the cell to grow and reproduce more speedily.

• A further mutation takes place in a tumor suppressor gene causing the cell to disrupt its tumor suppressing system.

• A further mutation takes place in the signaling system of the cell causing it to send erroneous signals to its neighboring cells.

As a result, the cell in question turns into a cancerous cell.

In 2019, 18 million cancer cases were reported. Annually, 8.8 million deaths are caused by cancer. It remains one of the biggest challenges facing medical science today.

My study suggests that opening the crown chakra is the most instrumental in tending to keep cancer away.

Cancer is a disease of the immune system going hay wire. Skeletal Leap contends that it can heal the overall anatomy of a body afflicted with cancer including its most important part in the skull that houses the brain in it.

Chronic Liver Disease or Liver Cirrhosis:

Chronic liver disease is the process of disruption of the entire liver structure and function resulting in liver fibrosis and liver cirrhosis. Liver fibrosis means accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins including collagen. That is what happens in most kinds of chronic liver disease. Advanced liver fibrosis ends up in liver cirrhosis ultimately requiring liver transplantation.

Signs of liver disease are associated with two different parameters - decompensation and cause.

Signs and Symptoms: Nail clubbing | Palmar erythema | Spider nevi (angiomata) | Gynaecomastia | Feminizing hair distribution | Testicular atrophy | Small irregular shrunken liver | Anaemia | Caput medusae

Signs associated with the Decompensation: Drowsiness (encephalopathy) | Hyperventilation (encephalopathy) | Metabolic flap/asterixis (encephalopathy) | Jaundice (excretory dysfunction) | Ascites (portal hypertension and hypoalbuminemi) | Leukonychia (hypoalbuminaemia) | Peripheral oedema (hypoalbuminaemia) | Bruising (coagulopathy) | Acid-base imbalance, most commonly respiratory alkalosis

Signs associated with the Cause: Dupuytren’s contracture (alcohol) | Parotid enlargement (alcohol) | Peripheral neuropathy (alcohol and some drugs) | Cerebellar signs (alcohol and Wilson’s disease) | Liver enlargement (alcohol, NAFLD, haemochromatosis) | Kayser-Fleischer rings (Wilson’s disease) | Increased pigmentation of the skin (haemochromatosis) | Signs of right heart failure

Cirrhosis is the final stage of chronic liver disease. Between 1990 and 2017, the number of cases of decompensated cirrhosis around the world rose from 5.2 million to 10.6 million. By 2019, cirrhosis caused 1.47 million deaths worldwide. The major causes were alcoholism, hepatitis B and hepatitis C.

Opening the root chakra, the sacral chakra and the solar plexus chakra, in my analysis, plays the most important role in keeping the liver intact.

Liver is a part of the gut and, hence, Skeletal Leap addresses it through skeletal meditation aimed at healing the anatomy of the gut. The healed anatomy tends to heal its physiology depending on which stage it has already proceeded to.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease:

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease caused by chronic respiratory issues. The condition is characterized either by emphysema or chronic bronchitis. Emphysema breaks down the walls of enlarged airspaces resulting in irreversible lung damage.

In 2019, the condition took a toll of 3.23 million lives. An astonishing 391.9 million cases were estimated in 2019, making it almost 10% of the global population aged between 30 and 79 years.

An open solar plexus chakra tends to keep chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at bay. Healing depends on which stage the disease has already progressed to. In case irreversible lung damage has not yet happened, Skeletal Leap can successfully facilitate skeletal meditations to heal the anatomy of the chest region. Once the anatomy has healed, the physiology follows suit.

Colitis:

Colitis is a chronic condition of an inflamed colon, with or without ulcers.

There are quite a few different types of colitis ranging from autoimmune to infectious colitis, namely:

Autoimmune Colitis: Inflammatory Bowel Disease, comprising ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease | Microscopic Colitis: comprising lymphocytic colitis and collagenous colitis | Diversion Colitis | Chemical Colitis | Chemotherapy-induced Colitis | Radiation Colitis | Checkpoint-Inhibitor-Induced Colitis | Ischemic Colitis | Infectious Colitis

I have learnt that opening the root chakra, the sacral chakra and the solar plexus chakra is most instrumental in treating colitis.

The healing depends on which type of colitis it is. Hence the safest bet is to heal the entire body’s anatomy through skeletal meditations with a special emphasis on the gut.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome:

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) comprises abdominal pain with inconsistent bowel movements.

There are four types of this condition:

IBS-D - characterized by persisting diarrhea | IBS-C - characterized by persisting constipation | BS-M/IBS-A - characterized by persisting diarrhea and persisting constipation | IBS-U - characterized by neither persisting diarrhea nor persisting constipation

The condition is often accompanied by anxiety, depression and chronic fatigue syndrome all of which affect the overall quality of life negatively.

Irritable bowel syndrome affects 1 in 10 people of the entire world population.

Again, opening the root chakra, the sacral chakra and the solar plexus chakra is the most instrumental in treating IBS.

When it comes to healing IBS, Skeletal Leap tends to work at two different levels of healing the body anatomy through skeletal meditations. The first one works at the level of gut and the second works at the level of skull. The two together address the digestive system with the accompanying anxiety, depression and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Type 2 Diabetes:

Type 2 diabetes is characterized by high blood sugar caused by a reduction in insulin produced by the pancreas. 90% of diabetic cases are of this type. The remaining 10% (8.4 million estimated in 2021 worldwide) constitute type 1 diabetes which is autoimmune along with gestational diabetes.

The classic symptoms of type 2 diabetes are:

Frequent urination (polyuria) | Increased thirst (polydipsia) | Increased hunger (polyphagia) | Weight loss

Other symptoms include:

Blurred vision | Itchiness | Peripheral neuropathy | Vaginal infections | Fatigue | Loss of taste

The causative factors are a combination of lifestyle and genetic factors.

In 2021, 537 million people were afflicted with diabetes the world over. It shortens life-expectancy by as much as around 10 years.

Once again, opening the root chakra, the sacral chakra and the solar plexus chakra is the most instrumental in treating diabetes.

The healing process needs to focus on healing the anatomy of the pancreas. Its widespread prevalence the world over makes this disease very serious. Skeletal meditations that heal the entire body’s anatomy with special emphasis on the gut seem to work the best to eradicate the condition.

Cardiovascular Disease:

Cardiovascular disease is a category of various diseases associated with the circulatory system such as:

Coronary artery diseases including angina and myocardial infarction | Stroke | Heart failure | Hypertensive heart disease | Rheumatic heart disease | Cardiomyopathy | Abnormal heart rhythms | Congenital heart disease | Valvular heart disease | Carditis | Aortic aneurysms | Peripheral artery disease | Thromboembolic disease | Venous thrombosis

Genetics is an important factor since it could increase the risk of cardiovascular disease by 300%.

Cardiovascular diseases are the biggest cause of death throughout the world, the only exception being Africa. It was estimated that 17.9 million people died from CVDs in 2019, representing 32% of all global deaths. Of these deaths, 85% were due to heart attack and stroke.

The solar plexus chakra and the heart chakra play the main role in dealing with cardiovascular diseases.

These are, again, very widespread diseases. Skeletal Leap’s answer is to heal the entire body’s anatomy through skeletal meditations with a special emphasis on the chest region.

Hypertension:

Hypertension, aka high blood pressure, is characterized by a persistent rise in blood pressure. It primarily harms a person by increasing the risk of:

Stroke | Coronary artery disease | Heart failure | Atrial fibrillation | Peripheral arterial disease | Vision loss | Chronic kidney disease | Dementia

Hypertension may be a primary condition, caused by lifestyle aberrations or genetic factors, or secondary, as a side-effect of other causes. Blood pressure is measured as systolic and diastolic pressures that correspond to its maximum and minimum pressures.

The condition affects 1.28 billion adults aged 30-79 years which is about 16% of the global population.

It was also a factor in 13.5% of all deaths counting to 7.6 million in the year 2011.

Opening the solar plexus, heart and crown chakras tends to do the needful to keep hypertension away.

Skeletal Leap achieves this through skeletal meditations focused on healing the body’s anatomy in two parts - the chest and the skull.

Metabolic Syndrome:

Metabolic syndrome is a condition characterized by the presence of any three of the following conditions in the body:

Abdominal obesity | Hypertension | High blood sugar | High serum triglycerides | Low serum high density lipoprotein

Left untreated, this condition, affecting around 20-25% of global population, may result in cardiovascular disease or type 2 diabetes.

Opening the root, sacral, solar plexus and heart chakras tend to address metabolic syndrome effectively.

Healing the body’s anatomy in the gut and the chest seems to work best in relieving the syndrome. That is exactly what Skeletal Leap focuses on through skeletal meditations.

Chronic Kidney Disease:

Chronic kidney disease is characterized by a loss in kidney functions. The causative factors of the disease are:

Diabetes | Hypertension | Glomerulonephritis | Polycystic kidney disease

In the year 2022, more than 800 million people are estimated to be affected by chronic kidney disease globally, causing 1.3 million deaths.

Opening the root, sacral and solar plexus chakras is the most instrumental in treating chronic kidney disease.

Changing the body’s anatomy in the gut through skeletal meditations seems to work provided the disease has not progressed to an advanced stage.

Osteoporosis:

Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by the deterioration of bone tissue resulting in lower bone mass. It tends to make bones more fragile and prone to fractures.

Homo sapiens have a greater tendency to suffer this disease as their bones are more porous than other primates. This is, at once, an expected outcome as well as cause of bipedalism.

Porous bones in Homo sapiens absorb the stress on two surfaces as compared to four in their primate cousins. At the same time, porosity means a lighter and more flexible skeleton that is of much benefit to Homo sapiens.

The disease is more common in females than in males. It affects 18.3% of the global population, which breaks down to 11.7% of males and 23.1% females. It can be prevented to a great extent if we ensure necessary calcium in our diet.

Osteoporosis responds to opening all 7 chakras in one associated sequential order.

Skeletal Leap addresses the entire body’s anatomy through skeletal meditations to alleviate osteoporosis.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome:

Polycystic ovary syndrome is an endocrine disorder in females of reproductive age, that causes cysts in their ovaries.

The effects and characteristics of the disease include:

Irregular menstrual periods | Heavy periods | Excess hair | Acne | Pelvic pain | Difficulty in conceiving | Patches of thick, dark and velvety skin | Hyperandrogenism | Anovulation | Insulin resistance | Neuroendocrine disruption

The condition affects an estimated 8-13% of the female population globally while another 70% of the affected women are estimated to be undiagnosed.

There are no known causes of or cure for this disease.

Opening the sacral chakra is crucial in curing PCOS.

PCOS responds the best to healing the gut’s anatomy and physiology through skeletal meditations.

Stroke:

Stroke is a condition characterized by a lack of blood flow to parts of the brain. It causes brain cells to die in those affected parts. The condition is of two types, ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. In the former type, a reduced supply of blood is the causative factor. In the latter, it is bleeding.

The major risk factors causing a stroke are:

Hypertension | High blood cholesterol | Obesity | Diabetes mellitus | End-stage kidney disease | Atrial fibrillation

In the year 2019, ischemic stroke befell 101.5 million people globally of which 3.3 million were left dead whereas 2.9 million died of a hemorrhagic stroke among 20.7 million that were affected by it. In 2015, stroke was the second biggest killer next to coronary artery disease.

Opening the solar plexus, heart and crown chakras is the most important maneuver to keep any probability of a stroke away.

Skeletal Leap focuses on healing the anatomy of the chest and skull through skeletal meditations to relieve this condition.

Major Depressive Disorder:

Major depressive disorder aka depression is a dysfunction of the mind that also affects the thinking capacity of the brain.

The condition is characterized by:

Low mood | Low self esteem at every level | Loss of interest in routine as well as in fun activities | Delusions | Hallucinations

The condition, once contracted, stays for a few months to the entire lifetime. Psychiatry treats the victims with antidepressant medication and psychotherapy. In case of emergencies like acute suicidal tendencies, the patient needs to be hospitalized for safety.

The causes are believed to be genetic, environmental as well as psychological. But nothing has yet proved to be of much help in curing the disease once and forever.

In the year 2023, major depressive disorder afflicted 280 million people globally. That amounts to almost 4% of the entire world population. In general, depression has already started assuming widespread proportions the world over.

Two Interesting Stories of Internalizing Anger

In my personal experience, depression internalizes the patient’s aggressive emotions against themselves. For example, it had wrapped its claws around one of my friends some 40-odd years ago. He could never come out of it in the true sense of the word.

Once, even in his acutely depressed mode, he got angry with me about something we had been discussing. And he unleashed that anger. As he did so, he instantaneously seemed to have come out of his depression. He sounded exactly like he used to sound before he had fallen victim to it. Once his aggressive expression ended, he slid back into his depression. He returned to internalizing his anger - a characteristic symptom of depression.

I don’t mean to say that aggression or anger is a healthy stance of mind. I have already told you under the topic of ‘Arthritis’ how my suppressed anger had afflicted me with succumbing to viral arthritis. What I mean to say is that aggression can bring one out of one’s depression. It can bring one to a state of so-called ‘normal’.

I witnessed another case of internalized anger, this time in a terminal schizophrenic on street. He was a recluse who kept roaming aimlessly on streets, talking gibberish to no one in particular. One day, I stood street-side with a group of my trainees. It was then that he passed us by. One of my very aggressive trainees mocked him with a derogatory remark. And what we witnessed next was eye-opening.

The terminal schizophrenic stopped for a moment, turned back and addressed this aggressive trainee of mine loudly. He yelled, “One should at least possess a sense of etiquette, if nothing else.”

Immediately thereafter, he went back to being his gibberish old self.

We were all taken aback by what we had just seen and heard. A terminal schizophrenic had momentarily come out of his illness and then voluntarily slid back into it!

Do people take a secure refuge in their mental disorders unconsciously? Maybe they take this secure refuge through internalizing their emotions against themselves to avoid facing the harsh realities of life unconsciously.

It is something we really need to research!

As far as chakras are concerned, the chakra that is key to fighting depression is an open crown chakra.

Thankfully, today’s world understands the seriousness of mental illnesses quite well. That is why Skeletal Leap focuses on healing the entire body anatomy, which, in turn, tends to heal the neurology and the psychology of the entire mind-body system.

Obesity:

Obesity as a debilitating condition of excess fat on the body disrupts health, fitness and wellness.

Obesity 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 is defined as overweight.

The condition is considered to be a breeding ground for:

Cardiovascular diseases | Type 2 diabetes | Obstructive sleep apnea | Some specific cancers | Osteoarthritis | Depression (in a dialectical relationship with obesity)

Obesity has a long list of causative factors including:

Dietary imbalance | Physical inactivity | Automotive devices | Urban lifestyle | Genetics | Excess medicinal intake | Mental dysfunctions | Endocrine disorders

Right now, more than 42% of all Americans are obese. Also, the number of obese people globally has more than doubled in the last 30 years resulting in 2.8 million annual deaths by 2021. 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.

Obesity throughout the world has assumed a debilitating stature making its scale even larger than any other disease. That is why and how the weight loss business has become one of the most lucrative businesses the world over!

Skeletal Leap addresses the challenge of obesity through skeletal meditations healing the entire body’s anatomy.

Here is an interesting corollary:

The best way to lose belly fat is opening the solar plexus chakra. Doing so relaxes the thoracic diaphragm which, in turn, makes exhalations more emphatic than inhalations while breathing. And, as breathing is a 24 hour process, it tends to lose belly fat much faster than any other weight loss method.

Vascular Dementia:

Vascular dementia is a type of dementia caused by aberrations in blood supply to the brain. Such aberrations result in minor strokes accompanied by degenerative cognition. With the passage of time, the brain structure experiences an irreversible cognitive regression.

Vascular dementia is the second biggest cause of dementia-related deaths, the first being Alzheimer’s disease. The condition afflicts 1.5% of the population in Western countries and an even larger section in the rest of the world.

Opening the crown chakra tends to heal vascular dementia the most effective way.

Skeletal Leap addresses dementia through skeletal meditations healing the entire body’s anatomy. As anatomy heals, neurology and physiology follow suit.

Immune System Dysfunction:

Our immune system is a defensive network of biological processes aimed at protection against diseases. It first detects a pathogen, animate or inanimate, and then responds to it appropriately.

It has two major subsystems:

Innate immune system: protects against any pathogen

Adaptive immune system: protects against those pathogens for which antibodies have already been formed (which is how vaccines work)

Immune system dysfunction may cause:

Autoimmune diseases | Inflammatory diseases | Cancer

Immunodeficiency may stem from:

Genetic disease like severe combined immunodeficiency | HIV/AIDS | Use of immunosuppressive medication

Autoimmunity indicates a hyperactive immune system attacking its own healthy tissues mistaking them to be foreign invaders. It may result in diseases like:

Hashimoto’s thyroiditis | Rheumatoid arthritis | Diabetes mellitus type 1 | Systemic lupus erythematosus | Inflammatory bowel disease | Multiple sclerosis | Guillain-Barre syndrome | Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy | Psoriasis | Grave’s disease | Myasthenia gravis | Vasculitis | Celiac disease | Addison’s disease | Pernicious anemia

Innate immune system is the ultimate savior as it works in a generic manner against pathogens through pattern recognition receptors. Adaptive immune system may work in a stronger manner but only against limited pathogens. These few pathogens are the ones that the innate immune system has already built antibodies against.

Hence everything essentially falls back on the protective support system created by the innate immune system in the first place.

The Story of How My Innate Immune System Protected Me against the Coronavirus

In the year 2021, I had a family of relatives over. We would soon realize that all three of them had already contracted the Omicron variant of the Covid-19 virus on their flight to my city. As was expected, they passed on the extremely contagious virus to my entire family as well. Even the vaccinated ones weren’t being spared from it.

First of all, my daughter and a vaccinated friend of hers who had accompanied her to our house went down. Then another friend of mine who had visited me in their presence fell prey to it. Next, it was my wife to contract Omicron.

Logically, I should have been the next to catch the virus as there was none else left uninfected. Everyone including me kept waiting for the virus to afflict me but it just didn’t happen. All of us were astonished. I was not even vaccinated. It occurred to me that my practice of central fixation might have been my savior.

Central fixation empties the mind and sets it free not only turning the mind-body system spontaneously intelligent but also strengthening its innate immune system. It opens chakras via skeletal re-posturing of the body. It is this skeletal re-posturing that works wonders and is at the heart of Skeletal Leap.

The Omicron variant later entered the phase of widespread contagion. In contrast, I was spared despite close proximity to its source right inside my own house.

This experience does say something, perhaps a lot, about the extraordinary efficacy of central fixation of the eyes, the body and the mind!

I always felt that we, the Homo sapiens all over the world, overreacted to Covid-19 and rushed in a host of vaccines without even doing their human trials. That is why even the vaccinated ones aren’t really safe against the virus and its variants.

Skeletal Leap addresses all immune system dysfunctions through skeletal meditations, healing the entire body’s anatomy. Once the anatomy heals, the physiology follows in its footsteps.

The other day, I received a text meme forwarded to my mobile that made me laugh out loud (which I generally don’t). It’s hilarious! Must enjoy reading it in my PDF version.

As I just told you in the Transcript above, the other day I received a text meme forwarded to my mobile that made me laugh out loud (which I generally don’t).

Let me give you a chance to do the same too…

The Covid Paradox : “Why Can’t I Step Inside, Unvaccinated?”

Helen: You can’t come in here!

Ivan: Why not?

Helen: Well because you’re unvaccinated.

Ivan: But I’m not sick.

Helen: It doesn’t matter.

Ivan: Well, why does that guy get to go in?

Helen: Because he’s vaccinated.

Ivan: But he’s sick!

Helen: It’s alright. Everyone in here is vaccinated.

Ivan: Wait a minute. Are you saying everyone in there is vaccinated?

Helen: Yes.

Ivan: So then why can’t I go in there if everyone is vaccinated?

Helen: Because you’ll make them sick.

Ivan: How will I make them sick if I’m NOT sick and they’re vaccinated?

Helen: Because you’re unvaccinated.

Ivan: But they’re vaccinated.

Helen: But they can still get sick.

Ivan: So what the heck does the vaccine do?

Helen: It protects them.

Ivan: So vaccinated people can’t spread COVID?

Helen: Oh no. They can spread COVID just as easily as an unvaccinated person.

Ivan: I don’t even know what I’m hearing anymore. Look. I’m not sick.

Helen: Ok.

Ivan: And the guy you let in IS sick.

Helen: That’s right.

Ivan: And everybody in there can still get sick even though they’re vaccinated.

Helen: Certainly.

Ivan: So why can’t I go in again?

Helen: Because you’re unvaccinated.

Ivan: I’m not asking who’s vaccinated or not!

Helen: I’m just telling you how it is.

Ivan: Never mind. I’ll just put on my mask.

Helen: That’s fine.

Ivan: Now I can go in?

Helen: Absolutely not!

Ivan: But I have a mask on!

Helen: Doesn’t matter.

Ivan: I was able to come in here yesterday with a mask on.

Helen: I know.

Ivan: So why can’t I come in here today with a mask on? ….If you say ‘because I’m unvaccinated’ again, I’ll break your arm.

Helen: Take it easy, buddy.

Ivan: So the mask is no good anymore.

Helen: No, it’s still good.

Ivan: But I can’t come in?

Helen: Correct.

Ivan: Why not?

Helen: Because you’re unvaccinated.

Ivan: But the mask prevents the germs from getting out.

Helen: Yes, but people can still catch your germs.

Ivan: But they’re all vaccinated.

Helen: Yes, but they can still get sick.

Ivan: But I’m not sick!!

Helen: But you can get sick. You need to be protected, that’s why you can’t come in.

Ivan: But if I pay money for an ART test and prove that I’m not sick, I can come in and you don’t have to protect me anymore?

Helen: Yea, coz it proves that you are not sick and they can’t get sick from you

Ivan: I thought you said you want to protect me from getting sick? But now you say if I’m proven to be healthy, then I can enter cos I can’t get the vaccinated people sick. So how in the heck does that work?

Helen: Because you are unvaccinated and vaccinated people can catch your germs and get sick

Ivan: So isn’t really to protect me from getting sick, is it?

Helen: I’m just doing my job, I don’t know anything

How was that? 😀

Introduction:

Let me take you on a fascinating journey into the world of skeletal postures and their profound impact on our vision and overall well-being.

As I introduce the concept of ‘Skeletal Leap,’ I emphasize the importance of understanding how our human skeleton is not merely a static framework but a dynamic system capable of miraculous maneuvers.

The present episode begins with an in-depth exploration of the temporomandibular joints (TMJ), which connect the jawbone to the skull.

I will explain that these joints are crucial for various jaw movements, and surprisingly, our resting jaw position should not be with our teeth clenched but rather with a slight gap. This revelation will prompt you to reconsider your everyday habits, as the majority of Homo sapiens has been living with postural faults since the dawn of bipedalism.

I will further explore the relationship between jaw posture and vision, suggesting that blurred vision is often a lifestyle disease that many of us overlook.

I put across my point that this common issue is not just an inconvenience but a symptom of a corrupted mind-body system.

The episode challenges the conventional reliance on corrective eyewear, proposing instead that the key to clearer vision lies in skeletal meditation and proper jaw alignment.

You will appreciate my personal anecdotes, revealing my own struggles with vision clarity and how they led me to discover the importance of skeletal postures.

I also introduce the concept of ‘central fixation,’ a technique that can enhance vision clarity for individuals of all ages, regardless of their current eyesight quality.

The episode also touches on the interconnection of the body’s systems, highlighting that opening one chakra can amplify the effects on others.

I specially emphasizes the significance of a holistic approach to health, advocating for guided meditation as a means to achieve this balance.

As the episode concludes, I would encourage you to engage with your bodies, explore the effects of skeletal postures, and consider the transformative potential of skeletal leap.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in improving their vision, understanding the mind-body connection, or exploring the realms of holistic health.

Tune in now to embark on your own journey toward clarity and well-being!

Transcript:

“I mastered the chakra discipline to understand how opening chakras via re-posturing the skeleton may correct vision.”

My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to “Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure”. Skeletal Leap transforms one’s life into a personal heaven.

Today’s episode will tell you about how skeletal postures affect mind through distorting skeletal joints.

Human skeleton is not just a static chassis on which the rest of the body, with its various organs, stays erect. It is a highly complex moving machine that is capable of making miraculous maneuvers as and when required. It does so with the help of different kinds of skeletal joints.

Let’s first look at the temporomandibular joints in greater detail. This joint comprises the only movable bone mandible in the skull. 

Temporomandibular Joints

Temporomandibular joints connect the jawbone to the skull at two points. It is a bilateral synovial (freely mobile with synovial fluid) joint between the temporal bone above and the mandible below. Since it is bilateral, the left and right parts always work together.

The joint comprises:

• The joint capsule is an envelope attached to the mandibular fossa and the articular tubercle above. It is also attached to the neck of the condyle of the mandible below.

• The articular disc is a dense fibrocartilagenous tissue between condyle of the mandible and mandibular fossa.

• Temporomandibular ligament is the thickened lateral portion of the stylomandibular ligament capsule.

• Sphenomandibular ligament becomes accentuated and taut when the mandible is protruded.

When are the temporomandibular joints and their related muscles in a state of rest?

Surprisingly, it is not with the teeth biting together but with a 2mm to 4mm of space between them with both, the upper and the lower dentures, being in the same plane. It is done via protruding the lower jaw forward to bring the two of them in the same plane across their entire width. But almost no one ever postures them that way. That is one of the postural faults humanity has been living with, since bipedalism.

A fully open jaw measures 40 to 50mm between the upper and lower front teeth. When the jaw moves, it is only the mandible that moves.

Mandible movements are called excursions. There are two lateral excursions, left and right. And there is a forward excursion called protrusion that everyone does everyday while brushing the teeth. It is because protrusion brings the upper and the lower dentures in one single plane enabling easy brushing. The excursion opposite to protrusion is called retrusion.

Now that we have got a basic understanding of the temporomandibular joints, let us investigate how and why our vision - far or near - gets blurred. You may be wondering what the jaw has to do with vision!

Well, that is exactly why this is one of the best ways to investigate how skeletal postures affect the mind. Alright…so, now we have gone from the jaw to eyesight, all the way to the brain. We are on the path to understanding how a corrupted skeletal posture corrupts the mind by corrupting the brain’s neurophysiology.

Let me explain further.

How Posturing of Temporomandibular Joints Affects Eyesight

Blurred vision is certainly a lifestyle disease.

It has been present throughout the world since the beginning of bipedalism. Almost everyone falls prey to it, some of them early in life and the rest after the age of 40.

We don’t really bother much about it since the use of eyeglasses has been accepted as part of the modern lifestyle!

But what we are missing is that this lifestyle disease doesn’t end with just a blurred vision. It is just the beginning of a massive problem. It is an indication and warning that the neurophysiology of our entire body, including our face, is not working right. It has already been afflicted with a corrupted mind in our mind-body system. It renders us vulnerable to various other lifestyle diseases in time to come.

Going for a surgical option like LASIK doesn’t address this vulnerability either. And that is because LASIK just creates proxy eyeglasses within the corneas of our eyes and nothing else.

Another reason to investigate blurred vision as an example is that its correction through skeletal meditation shows instant results. That way, we can be sure about being on the right track with our investigations into a corrupted mind.

Surprisingly, the human skull is partially separate in its anatomy and physiology from the human torso and limbs. Hence, we can immediately empty the mind partially of its visual corruption, in the skull alone, through its skeletal re-posturing. Thus we can check its effect on the eyesight then and there. This eliminates guesswork and time in proving the hypothesis. That is what a laboratory procedure of deciding a hypothesis right or wrong is.

As mentioned in Episode 18, my life has been a seesaw between blurred and crystal-clear vision. Only until I solved the puzzle by discovering a concrete physical procedure, though!

In retrospect, I feel I was lucky to have experienced blurred vision.

Why?

Because that was exactly what made me jump into this entire discipline of Skeletal Leap. At the same time, it also provided me with an instantaneous testing ground for my skeletal hypotheses in an absolutely tangible manner.

But what about those between 0 - 40 years of age who don’t have any problem with their eyesight at present? How can they investigate the effect of central fixation on the clarity of their vision, far and near?

Luckily, they can also witness a marked enhancement in the clarity of their vision when they see with central fixation of the eyes. If their distant vision is 20/20, central fixation can enhance it to be something like 30/20. Same with the near vision! If the near sight measures N6, they can easily enhance it to N3 or even more. Hence everyone can investigate central fixation of the eyes successfully, regardless of the quality of their vision.

I mastered the chakra discipline to understand how opening chakras via re-posturing the skeleton may correct vision. It all amounted to emptying the mind through rectifying the neurophysiology of the visual system to be able to see crystal clear.

It took place via maneuvering the mandible which is the only movable bone in the skull. The mandible is the jawbone forming the lower jaw and keeping the lower denture in place. It is the biggest and the strongest bone in the facial skeleton. The mandible is connected to the temporal bones through temporomandibular joints. Hence when the mandible is maneuvered, temporomandibular joints get maneuvered along.

The said postural maneuver aligns the upper and the lower dentures in one single plane along their entire lengths.

It results in opening the third eye chakra and crown chakra, in one single go, by maneuvering the muscles named frontalis, occipitalis and temporalis in the skull.

The Muscles Associated with Temporomandibular Joints

Now, what are those muscles associated with temporomandibular joints? I said associated, not necessarily attached to the joint! The muscles directly attached are the agonist or the prime movers. But there are many more in the vicinity that are synergistically associated with the same action. They assist the prime movers by imparting an extra punch to the primary action with their own associated actions. The said actions may either be contracting a muscle or relaxing an already habitually contracted muscle.

The prime movers are:

Temporalis Muscle: elevates and retracts mandible

Masseter Muscle: elevates and retracts mandible

Lateral Pterigoid Muscle: depresses mandible

Medial Pterigoid Muscle: elevates mandible and helps lateral pterygoid in moving jaw from side to side

Every chakra is a complex of a corrupted joint and huge numbers of associated muscles, nerves and arteries which have all been corrupted.

That is how a corrupted posture in any part of the body gives birth to a partially corrupted mind.

As we know, we open the third eye chakra and the crown chakra in one single go by moving the temporomandibular joints up and out by maneuvering the mandible.

This posture ensures the alignment of the upper and the lower dentures in one single plane along their entire lengths.

But the entire maneuver is extremely subtle, hence quite complex. This is because of an emergent need to balance the actions of the prime movers and other synergetic muscular actions.

This and other such maneuvers for various other joints along the skeleton are what the corresponding sets of guided meditations are made of. Together, these guided meditations enable Skeletal Leap.

A guided meditation under the direct supervision of an experienced guide is the best way to take the Skeletal Leap.

And that is how we can partially empty the mind and set a specific physiological system back on track.

There Are Many Other Systems And Subsystems Like The Visual Subsystem

Blurred vision is a perfect example of a corrupted mind stopping the brain from clear visual perception via unblocked nerve signals.

But there is a caveat here. The visual system is not the only subsystem of the nervous system in our total mind-body system.

There are several similar ones along with their respective subsystems. The visual system that we investigated is a subsystem of the nervous system. We can certainly correct these individual systems or subsystems locally, but there is again a caveat here.

Like muscles have their synergetic partners, chakras do too.

And why shouldn’t they?

After all, they are the result of corrupted skeletal postures and their associated muscles, nerves and arteries.

By that token, all 7 chakras are synergetic partners of one another. Synergetic partners tend to amplify whatever the prime mover decides to do.

If we decide to open one single chakra, all the other 6 would tend to amplify its action. But that is only possible when those 6 are already open.

Otherwise, they would just do the opposite in the long run, i.e, negate the action taken to open that one single chakra.

So, it is never a wise decision to open any of the chakras in isolation. Our best bet is to open them all in one inter-related, chronological sequence.

We cannot effectively empty a fragment of our mind and hope that it will continue to remain so. Corruptions of the mind from its other fragments would rush to fill in that empty space later if not sooner.

How long shall we be able to keep it protected from its offenders?

But if the entire mind goes empty in one inter-related chronological sequence, it would tend to remain empty forever.

And it is not an impossible task to empty the mind that way.

In fact, that is exactly what leads to Skeletal Leap!

Introduction:

In this post, I decided to jump into the complex interplay between neurology and psychology, exploring the fundamental question: where is the seat of the mind in the body?

Have you ever wondered about it?

I invite you to accompany me on a thought-provoking journey that examines how our instincts and emotions shape our lives and identities.

I start with a captivating hypothesis: the mind acts as a reviewing faculty of the brain in the domain of time.

Hence whereas the brain has its abode in the domain of space inside our skull, the abode of the mind is nowhere in space. It’s rather there in the domain of time acting as the seat of awareness creating a concept of free will that it conceives it has.

It means the mind does not generate original perception but rather reviews what the brain has already perceived in its own psychedelic manner.

This leads to a discussion on the importance of subjective meaning in our lives, as it helps us construct our unique narratives.

However, this process can become problematic when the mind’s free will is contaminated by fear, which often arises from our instinct of self-preservation.

Fear generated out of overemphasizing the instinct of self preservation can distort our perception of reality, leading to a misinterpretation of real threats to life.

As a result, the mind starts conceiving imaginary threats to life in its over-enthusiasm to protect life at any cost.

This misinterpretation can suppress vital instincts such as sex, curiosity, adventure, and interaction, which are essential for a fulfilling life.

That was why and how Sigmund Freud’s theories regarding life and death instincts came into existence. I compare them with contemporary views on human behavior.

You will discover how societal constructs often tame our natural instincts, resulting in a fragmented mind. These contradictory fragments keep fighting among themselves all day long, leading to fatigue and emotional distress.

I emphasizes the importance of recognizing and embracing these suppressed instincts to reclaim our joy and passion in life.

The discussion shifts toward the concept of skeletal meditations, a unique approach aimed at aligning the body and the mind to turn it whole.

By focusing on our physical posture and movements, we can foster a healthier mind-body connection that promotes personal transformation.

As the episode unfolds, I explain how our emotional states impact our physical well-being and vice versa.

I encourage you to engage in practices that restore balance and vitality to both the mind and the body, ultimately leading to a more authentic and joyful existence.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the deeper mechanics of their psyche and the transformative power of embracing our instincts.

Tune in to explore how we can break free from the confines of fear and rediscover our true selves through the lens of both, neurology and psychology.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Brain vs Mind: I address brain versus mind aka instincts versus emotions.

• Fear vs Guilt: Guilt steals its energy from the energy of fear.

• Sexual Energy vs Piety: Piety downgrades the powerful instinct of sex.

• How Emotions Affect the Body: Psychology tells us to be confident instead of being diffident.

• Skydiving: Skydiving as an awesome physiological meditation.

“Where is the seat of mind in the body?

Have you ever thought about it?

Here is a hypothesis.”

My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to “Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure”. Skeletal Leap transforms one’s life into a personal heaven.

Today’s episode will tell you about neurology vs psychology respectively addressing brain vs mind or instincts vs emotions as far as human life is concerned.

Where is the seat of mind in the body?

Have you ever thought about it?

Here is a hypothesis:

Mind As The Reviewing Faculty of Brain

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’t negatively affected the spontaneous perception and action taken by the brain.

Why is reviewing required?

Reviewing is required to give a subjective meaning to the psychedelic perceptions and automatic actions effected by the brain. This subjective meaning imparts life with a sense of individual identity 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 the mind is.

The Contaminated Free Will As Ego

There is a serious caveat here. The reviewer, that’s the mind, finds it so interesting that it holds this comprehension as being the real perception and real action. The mind decides to exercise its free will which ultimately turns into ego that it then starts identifying itself with.

Even this wouldn’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 begins with an innate fear of losing itself.

It is this fear that is at the root of contaminating this free will, thereby reducing it to what Richard Dawkins calls the ‘selfish gene’.

It gets subjectively attached to its own faulty apprehensions of what constitutes a threat to life.

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 is rather a conceived threat that the contaminated free will of the reviewer attaches to its comprehension.

The contaminated free will is not as intelligent as the spontaneous brain. Along with the instinct of self preservation, the brain also hands a complete list of other instincts over to the reviewer.

Instincts That We Are Born With

This is done so that the mind can review, cognize and comprehend those instincts as the basic tenets of life, like:

Eating | Drinking | Excreting | Curiosity | Movement | Play | Adventure | Interaction | Love | Grouping | Sex | Reproduction | Parenting

All these different instincts need to be given overall inclusive emphases in an equally exclusive manner. None less, none more!

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.

The main victims to this fear of the mind are the instincts of sex, adventure, curiosity and interaction. It apprehends them as challenging self preservation. Sex is such a strong instinct as can make one even ignore one’s safety and security. In fact, sex falls under the category of death instincts as opposed to the instincts of self preservation.

This categorization of mine is in contrast with the categorization conceived by Sigmund Freud as life instincts and destructive death drives (Thanatos), as opposed to death instincts. In fact, he had earlier started working along the idea of death instincts before he moved on to conceptualize death drives or 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 supporting self-preservation. As per this initial concept, mind - as ego - apprehends these death instincts as capable of killing its hegemonic existence. Obviously, it would never be ready to welcome or even accept them. And even when it does so, it does so in a very lukewarm and half-hearted way. I find this earlier concept of Freud’s more meaningful than his later concepts. Hence I have developed my concepts along his earlier line of thought.

Here is a quote from Life and Death Drive; Freud’s Thanatos and Eros Theory:

Sigmund Freud’s theory of life and death drives evolved throughout his life and career. Initially, he described a class of drives known as life instincts that he believed were responsible for much of our behavior. Eventually, however, Freud came to believe that life instincts alone could not explain all human behavior. With the publication of his book ‘Beyond the Pleasure Principle‘ in 1920, Freud concluded that all instincts fall into one of two major classes: life drives and death drives—later dubbed Eros and Thanatos by other psychologists.

As a result, human culture and society tag sex as the basic sin, acting from that fearful mind’s apprehensions.

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. You can tame a bullock but never a bull. Human culture and society, constructed over the most basic foundations of fear, needed to tame their individuals. If they don’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 is how and why passion and joy are closely associated with sex and adventure.

Curiosity is something that questions culture and society’s training programs designed to provide their individuals with safety and security, even at the cost of turning them into cogs of ever turning wheels. The human education system is the worst example of this where students must follow a regimen rather than satiate their curiosity. Regimen insures what students must know in order to safeguard their future. On the other hand, curiosity flows like water toward unknown horizons, rewarding one with insights. That is 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.

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. Relationship is swimming in a pond, interaction is swimming in an ocean.

Hence, human culture and society are structured on the foundation of curbing these instincts either overtly or covertly.

This is why I place these four instincts of sex, adventure, curiosity and interaction under the category of death instincts. These are the very instincts that tend to kill ego in the mind. That is why and how they appear to be death instincts to the mind, in the first place.

Super-ego Comprising Morals

When these instincts are suppressed, their energy gets suppressed as well. Mind has a powerful tool to do so. The super-ego! This super-ego is a new faculty that the mind generates, comprising morals that ought to be respected. If not, another new entity we call guilt coaxes it. Surprisingly, guilt steals its energy from the energy of fear. The mind, through super-ego, has thus created these two entities, fear and guilt, that are forms of another faculty that the mind generates – emotion.

What happens when energy is suppressed? And, 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.

But the repressed energetic content of instincts still keeps knocking on the doors of the conscious mind. And whenever it finds an opportunity, it pushes them. Soon, it enters consciousness stealthily when the guards sitting at the doors are snoozing. That is what our dreams are.

Not only this, even during their exile in the unconscious, these repressed instincts don’t become fully inactive. They retain their capacity to affect the decisions taken by the unconscious mind against its conscious reasoning.

Now, let’s get back to the question: what happens when energy is suppressed or repressed?

The content and energy of said suppressed and repressed instincts gets downgraded. A few different morals are constructed to achieve this. Piety downgrades the powerful instinct of sex. Mind understands how powerful and inevitable sex is. Hence it creates another sub-moral of piety called marriage as a spiritual union.

It is designed to be a monogamic sexual relationship between one man and one woman for the rest of their lives. Humans are not designed to have their quota of sex 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 is not only about getting attracted but also about having sex with them mentally, if not physically…and stealthily. Thus, we see another example in which the mind has transformed an instinct – sex – into an emotion – sexual desire.

The Fragmented Mind

Mind fragments itself in many parts, all fighting with one another all day. This infighting continually tires ‘us’ even when ‘we’ haven’t done that much work to justify ‘our’ tiredness. We never get as tired when we enjoy doing something as we do when we don’t enjoy it. In fact, we almost don’t get tired while enjoying, even while doing the toughest of jobs.

The mind constructs quite a few other morals to covertly downgrade the content and energy of other death instincts as well.

It does so to curiosity and its questioning attitude through morals such as obedience, faith, reverence, loyalty or devotion in order to avoid questioning the authority.

Real Passion Turns to Distorted Conceptual Emotions

Let’s get back to passion and joy that are the hallmarks of death instincts. What happens to this passion and joy when the instincts turn into emotions? At worst, passion gets distorted and joy loses its smoothness to the harshness of said emotions. At best, instinctual joy turns into the ‘idea’ of joy which we call happiness.

Happiness needs to be defined as waiting with hope to experience joy at some point in the future. When we are actually enjoying something, we don’t need to be ‘happy’ as we are simply enjoying it right then and there. We can experience joy while being sad as well. Like, our skin will always enjoy the touch of winter sun even if we are grieving.

Ironically, unlike passion, emotions always exist as pairs of opposites:

Happiness - Sadness | Bravery - Cowardice | Courage - Timidity | Confidence - Diffidence | Hope - Despair | Excitement - Boredom | Attachment - Detachment | Anger - Guilt | Pride - Shame | Anxiety - Depression | Fear - Greed

One might wonder how fear and greed are opposite emotions. Isn’t it the fear of losing that turns us greedy to hoard, to insure us against loss? Isn’t seeking immortality, for example, the greedy antithesis of the fear of losing life?

Positive psychology tends to categorize emotions as positive and negative, always siding with the positive ones. But these 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.

Let me give another example here. Psychology tells us to be confident instead of being diffident. I agree that being diffident harms us. But how does being confident help us? Let’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 is not going to help 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 not really a fool-proof one.

We need to be confident only because we are basically diffident.

Isn’t it a better thing to be neither and just be natural, ready to face what naturally comes to us?

That is why all emotions are futile. 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 excitement and 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.

Everyone always feels like they are missing something in life but no one knows what!

What we all are missing is joy right now, which only passion can generate, not any emotions.

Psychology has made the mind an unnaturally complex pattern making it seem much bigger than what it really is - a reviewer. And thus, the mind ends up negatively affecting the brain’s physiology through its nervous system across the entire body.

Let’s see exactly how.

How Emotions Affect The Body

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.

Anatomically, this mind-induced state of low energy shows up as a habitually unnatural posture of the skeleton, especially at its joints. Every single one of the skeleton’s 360 joints ends up tucking ‘in’. Gravity plays its own part in this process by dropping those joints ‘down’. Interestingly, in army training throughout the world, they exacerbate this problem further. They train soldiers in tucking the shoulders ‘out’, thereby taking the effect of the mind out of the picture, while leaving them still drooping down. This leaves the soldiers aggressively violent rather than passively timid; a connection no one else seems to have analyzed yet. But it has been serving their purpose of turning their soldiers ‘brave’ and they are happy with it. This gets further worsened by the muscles in their vicinity getting rigidified and thus changing their habitual anatomy. The same follows for the nerves and blood vessels attached to the joints in question.

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 dialogue between the gut and the brain much needed to keep the nervous system functioning properly, materialistically speaking. From a vitalistic point of view, this results in Kundalini being blocked in its flow between the root and the crown chakras via Sushumna.

Maybe the two approaches are ways of looking into the same reality from two different angles!

Time will tell.

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 flowing smooth, in an uninhibited manner. The result is a neurophysiologically compromised nervous system of which the brain is the most central organ. That is 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.

What’s the way out?

Either we change the psychology of mind or the physiology of body to put it back on the right track.

If the mind can affect the body negatively, the body can affect the mind as well and positively, at that.

How Body Can Affect The Mind

Changing the psychology of the mind is an uphill task, mainly because it is vague. It very easily makes us stray along its functional complexities without even giving any feedback. Thus, it keeps us guessing blindly if we are on the right track.

The probability of being right is way less than being wrong. It is because there are many wrong but only one right way and we are trying to hit the bullseye blindfolded.

On the other hand, let’s look at a miraculous physical activity that changes the psychology of the mind instantaneously.

Skydiving, apart from being an awesome sport, is also an awesome physiological meditation. Under conditions of free fall, people tend to stop breathing. They CAN breathe although they don’t need to. Whatever little oxygen they require is absorbed by their skin through osmosis in their system. Its only limitation is that it is there only for the duration of 6-7 minutes it takes to touch the ground. As this intense experience instantly changes the body’s physiology, it also instantly changes the mind’s psychology.

Here is a firsthand account of a first-time skydiver:

I was OUT…everything mentally ended…over…started…me…perhaps more dead than alive…perhaps more alive than I will ever be…breathing just as I had been taught…wind…wind and breath…until wind and breath became indiscernible, became as one…and yes, almost weightless…it was true! …weightless and so surreal…there was the earth, neither coming at me, nor me at it, …no up…no down…no me, in the ego sense of me, just some thoughtless consciousness…and yes, it was awesome simply to be…or not. The sky was in my lungs and it never once occurred to me would the parachute open.

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 for the patient. This out-of-body experience is also associated with the sensation 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.

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 the brain supplies it with, i.e., instincts. In other words, it needs to turn truly agnostic. It is not easy. It scares the mind to death, quite literally. The mind really considers it as its death. That is why it stealthily keeps turning all meditations into new visualizations, imaginations and 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.

That is why and how mental and spiritual meditations, at times, get reduced to performing pious rituals alone.

Skeletal Meditations Are Meditations of Body As Opposed to Meditations of Mind

The ways of the body are concrete, however subtle they may be. We can always put a finger on them, sometimes quite literally, guiding them back on the track, as and when required.

We don’t need to go for rituals of limited durations.

We need to learn and be in the right meditative state 24 x 7 x 365. And we need to do so in order to make it the first nature of our mind-body system.

It is much easier to do it with the body than the mind. This way, every single moment can be the moment of meditation without the need to celebrate it as some kind of achievement.

Skeletal meditations work physiologically, aiming to turn the anatomy and physiology of the body and the brain back to their natural functions. They’re meant to stay that way consciously 24 x 7 x 365 until they become one’s first nature.

This can only happen when the mind has shed all the psychological myths it had been living with all through one’s life. It needs to accept the brain as its guide in its only role as reviewer and comprehender of its perceptions.

Being tangible, skeletal meditations are much faster and simpler than mental or spiritual meditations. We just need to understand how to rightly posture our skeletal joints and then make it our first nature.

Once this is successfully done, Skeletal Leap is in place.

We are on the verge of revolutionizing our bipedal evolution, taking it to its culmination via Skeletal Leap.

Let’s do it for ourselves today and for the sake of our next generations tomorrow.

In this episode 19, I will take you on a journey exploring the interplay between bioenergetics and Kundalini.

I will explore both, the scientific inquiry and the spiritual exploration. We need to know how energy affects our life.

I start explaining bioenergetics first, which studies the flow of energy through living organisms. I further explain how this energy is essential for various bodily functions, from cellular respiration to metabolic processes.

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.

On the flip side, I come up the vitalistic perspective as well. It believes that a dormant cosmic energy, known as Kundalini, lies in the living organisms, waiting to be awakened.

This awakening can lead to profound joy and clarity in our lives. The episode raises intriguing questions about the nature of energy.

Are we merely biological machines, or is there a deeper spiritual essence at play?

What are your own experiences with energy, whether through moments of heightened awareness during meditation or the inexplicable surge of energy in critical situations?

I share mine, including miraculous events that challenge our understanding of human capability and the essence of life itself.

As the episode progresses, I highlight the role of the vagus nerve in regulating energy flow within the body. This nerve connects the brain to vital organs, facilitating communication and energy transfer.

I also compare the scientific understanding of energy flow and the ancient practices of chakra healing, suggesting that both perspectives ultimately converge on the same truth: the importance of maintaining a balanced energy system for overall well-being.

You will be left with a call to action—to explore your own energy patterns and consider how they might harness this energy for personal transformation.

The episode promises to be a source of inspiration for anyone interested in the intersection of science and spirituality.

Join me on this adventurous journey and discover how you can tap into the miraculous energy within you.

Tune in now, and embark on your own journey of self-discovery and healing through the lens of bioenergetics and Kundalini.

“Our body is a storehouse of all kinds of possible miracles whether you categorize them under the materialistic or vitalistic approach.”

My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to “Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure”. Skeletal Leap transforms one’s life into a personal heaven.

Today’s episode will tell you about bioenergetics vs kundalini and which one of the two passes to be the energy that creates life.

Who Am I: A Materialist Or A Vitalist?

That is a question I often ask to myself. And I never get an answer.

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.

In fact, I am an agnostic observer, neither a theist nor an atheist. An unbiased observation of patterns is what makes sense to me.

Patterns of Observation

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.

This process enables patterns affecting my personal body, mind and spirit to be generalized as patterns affecting all human bodies, minds and spirits.

Bioenergetics at Work

Bioenergetics studies the flow of energy through living creatures. 

The Flow of Life Energy through The Human Body

How does energy affect the human body, mind and spirit?

I have experienced energy bursting from my coccyx to my crown chakra. 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.

Where does this energy come from? What’s the source of this energy?

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.

How do materialists look at energy? They study biological energy as ’bioenergetics’.

It is because their living cells require energy for many of their functions including cellular respiratory, metabolic, enzymatic and other processes. They use adenosine triphosphate molecules (ATP) for this purpose of producing and utilizing energy.

There are three kinds of living creatures: autotrophs, lithotrophs and heterotrophs.

Autotrophs (plants) receive energy from sunlight through photosynthesis and don’t require consuming it for themselves.

Lithotrophs including photolithotrophs (plants) and chemolithotrophs (microorganisms) produce adenosine triphosphate molecules (ATP) through aerobic or anaerobic respiration.

Heterotrophs (animals) consume adenosine triphosphate molecules (ATP) and break them down into adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate. This breaking down of ATP to ADP releases energy for the cells to use for their various needs.

Here is a list of bioenergetic processes required for life in cells through consuming energy:

Glycolysis: releasing energy from available glucose or breaking it down to create ATP molecules for future energy requirement.

Gluconeogenesis: creating glucose by breaking proteins into simpler amino acids which can create glucose.

Cellular Respiration: 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.

Ketosis: is another metabolic process achieved by using ketone bodies for energy when glucose levels are low.

Oxidative Phosphorylation: is a process when coenzymes initiate electron transport chain driving ATP synthesis. 

Photosynthesis: 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. 

Cotransport: Sodium glucose cotransport is another newly discovered process facilitating intestinal glucose absorption.

Chemiosmotic Theory: 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. 

So, for materialists, it is biological energy alone that is taken in and transformed, primarily by way of food, in the human body.

Fair enough! They don’t want to go along any cosmic hypothesis in the absence of a concrete evidence for the same.

Blockages in The Flow of Biological Energy

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 cellular respiratory, metabolic, enzymatic and others, thereby limiting the flow of energy through the organism.

Here is a quote from Wikipedia…

“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.”

Courtesy, Wikipedia

Here is another code from Wikipedia again…

“Nerves control the contraction of muscles by determining the number, sequence, and force of muscular contraction. When a nerve experiences synaptic fatigue it becomes unable to stimulate the muscle that it innervates.” 

Courtesy, Wikipedia

The real question becomes: what essentially controls the flow of this biological energy with the purpose of producing and utilizing it? The biologists’ answer is that the central nervous system is responsible for the said control in Homo sapiens. They contend that, if the central nervous system gets compromised, the flow will get compromised too. The entire organism will then feel low on energy and succumb to various kinds of lifestyle diseases.

The Vagus Nerve

How exactly does central nervous system get compromised? It happens when nerves that carry messages between the brain and the organ cells get compromised. Especially the 10th cranial nerve named the vagus nerve. This one nerve carries the major chunk of messages to and from the most crucial organs. It is the longest nerve in the central nervous system and is designed to establish an efficient dialogue between its two ends. These two ends are the gut and the brain.

Here is a quote from Wikipedia…

“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—the left and right vagus nerves—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.”

Courtesy, Wikipedia

How exactly does the vagus nerve get compromised, then?

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.

Formation of Chakras

This compromised anatomy gives birth to closed chakras that are formed at seven different locations along the length of the vagus nerve, passing through the spinal cord. The vagus nerve comprises two parts: the ventral vagus and the dorsal vagus. Incidentally, this same channel created by the vagus nerve is referred to as Sushumna in the chakra system. And, just like the vagus nerve, Sushumna passing through the spinal cord also comprises its own two parts: Ida and Pingala.

According to the Chakra system, when chakras are opened along the length of Sushumna, Kundalini gets awakened and rises up to the head. It does so in a streamlined flow without being blocked at any of the closed chakra locations along its path.

The same process, when described in materialistic terms, is the flow of biological energy in the organ cells served by the vagus nerve.

As a two-way dialogue between the gut and the brain through the vagus nerve gets re-established, energy flow gets regularized.

Kundalini Awakening

Skeletal Leap infers that the perception of this regularized energy flow has to be similar to the awakening of Kundalini and its rise up to the crown chakra. It feels like a gush of biological energy rising up from the gut to the head through the spinal cord. As per the materialistic approach, it is the gush of the dialogue between the gut and the brain getting established instantaneously. This is accompanied by a simultaneous and instantaneous flow of energy to the cells of the organs served by the vagus nerve.

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 angle of materialists or that of vitalists.

I had defined chakras as deformities in skeletal posturing leading to deformities in the surrounding muscles, nerves and blood vessels. Hence, it is the deformed anatomy of these structures that negatively affects the physiology of systems they are a part of.

Let’s talk a bit more about energy. You might have seen various kinds of people with various levels of energy in their mind-body system. We can also see similar differences in our pets.

Patterns of Energy: Warm Vs Cold, Hot Vs Cool & Hot Vs Cold

’Warm’ and ‘cold’ are the two extremes on the spectrum of energy levels we perceive in ourselves and others. On the other hand, ‘hot’ and ‘cool’ are the extremes on the spectrum of our energy balance. Of course, ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ also have a sexual connotation where they are the extremes on a spectrum of sexual energy levels in us.

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?

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 lifestyle diseases. How do we explain that?

You can say those are the traits of their personality and have nothing to do with their level of energy. But does this answer really make sense?

How are personalities formed? Is that a kind of training one has learnt to live with in one’s life? Or is the basic core of personality more an innate phenomenon? I have seen numerous children being born with various crying patterns. 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 innate tendencies.

Are we born with a particular energy pattern as a seed in our mind-body system?

We need to research this further. Because, if it is true, it strongly supports the vitalistic hypothesis of energy.

I am keeping my fingers crossed.

At this point, I feel a need to tell a few miraculous stories from my life. All these stories pose a real challenge in understanding the dynamics of miraculous energy patterns in the body.

The Story of An Instant Energy Spurt That Saved A Child

The first one took place in 1966 when I was an adolescent.

I was out for a sunny winter stroll in Dehradun. 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.

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.

He replied in a loud voice, “This godlike man just saved this kid from getting run over by that car. But he himself doesn’t know how.”

Hearing him, the hero of the moment who, by now, sat near the auto mechanic shop he owned, turned to us. He said, “I really don’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 that the kid was gone. And now these people are telling me I have saved him.”

“Yes,” another man interrupted the conversation, “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!”

The savior laughed in doubt, “Maybe God entered my body and made me do what you say I did. But honestly speaking, I just don’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?” 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.

I silently saluted that man and went my way, thinking deep within.

Even today, I don’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.

The Story of Entering The State of Flow through Endorphin Release

The second story took place in 1978. It was the year I had shifted from my small Himalayan hometown to Delhi.

Every evening, I’d go for a run. Usually for half an hour. But that day, I didn’t stop after half an hour. I kept running for longer. I got tired but I didn’t stop. I continued running. One hour passed. I was nearly exhausted but I still didn’t stop. I still remember my feeling from that moment. I was simply teasingly flirting with myself.

I kept running. One and a half hours had passed. I had almost reached the point of ultimate exhaustion. I kept going, thinking, ”What’s the worst that can happen? I would fall down on the road, that’s it!”

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 making any effort at all.

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.

I reached home and sat down in a chair ingesting deep within what I was experiencing.

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 ’state of flow’. It is also known as ’being in the zone’.

In the ancient Indian practice of Raja Yoga, the state of flow is known as Samyama, meaning integration. It integrates the three top hierarchical steps of Raja Yoga, namely Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi into one single practice.

The state of flow hasn’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:

Completely involved in what we are doing – focused, concentrated.

A sense of ecstasy - of being outside everyday reality

Great inner clarity – knowing what needs to be done, and how well we are doing.

Knowing that the activity is doable – that our skills are adequate to the task.

A sense of serenity – no worries about oneself, and a feeling of growing beyond the boundaries of the ego.

Timelessness – thoroughly focused on the present, hours seem to pass by the minute.

Intrinsic motivation – whatever produces flow becomes its own reward.

One hypothesis is that the release of endorphins in the brain facilitates this state of flow. If that is right, we only need to know how to release these endorphins naturally to achieve this state at will.

The Story of Entering An Unbelievable Energetic State through Serotonin Release

The third story that was an extension of the state of flow story took place three years later, in 1981. Three years had passed since I had moved from my hometown in Mussoorie to Delhi. At the same time, an estranged girlfriend of mine from Dehradun had moved to Delhi as well to enroll as a student at the National School of Drama. 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.

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?

Three years passed by and the pattern of our behavior remained the same through these years.

Then one day, it occurred to me that I wanted my mind to get free from my concern for her.

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 3 o’ clock in the afternoon at that moment. We decided we would meet after three hours, at 6 o’ clock, at a nearby restaurant.

I left her hostel and started walking on the road. But I suddenly discovered my gait was not the same old gait. I wasn’t really feeling like I was walking. I was feeling like I was flying. 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’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, making me feel like I was flying. I had never walked at a speed like that before.

Believe it or not, I kept feeling like flying at the same speed for three full hours.

And exactly at 6 o’ clock, I ended up at the restaurant where we had decided to meet.

What happened during the meeting was beyond my wildest imagination, but that is not what we’re concerned with in this episode.

Later, I looked for references in literature resembling this new state I had experienced.

There, 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.

I kept wondering if we could release serotonin at will and started researching on the subject.

Ultimately, many years later, when I was working in the discipline of chakras, I picked the lost thread up again. I realized that the release of serotonin was an integral part of opening the crown chakra through skeletal guided meditation.

Our body is a storehouse of all kinds of possible miracles whether you categorize them under the materialistic or vitalistic approach.

Why don’t we unearth them and make them an integral part of our life?

Science Vs Spirituality As Two Popular Approaches To Life!

1. In this episode titled “Science Vs Spirituality As Two Popular Approaches To Life!“ I take you on an enlightening journey through two contrasting philosophies: scientific materialism and spiritual vitalism. These approaches to understanding life have shaped human thought for centuries, and I dive deep into their implications on our existence and consciousness.

2. Scientific materialism states that all living beings, including humans, are complex machines. This perspective, rooted in the scientific traditions of thinkers like René Descartes and Charles Darwin, suggests that we can eventually understand the intricacies of life through rational inquiry and scientific exploration. I also highlight the significance of the cell theory and Darwin’s theory of evolution, which emphasize a natural, mechanistic view of life.

3. On the other hand, spiritual vitalism introduces a more mystical element, suggesting that life is animated by a non-physical energy, often referred to as “life energy.” This viewpoint has ancient roots in various cultures and disciplines, including alternative medicine practices like acupuncture and homeopathy. I further discuss how vitalism has been dismissed by mainstream science due to a lack of empirical evidence, yet it remains deeply ingrained in human culture and belief systems.

4. Through my real life personal stories, I illustrate the intersection of these two philosophies in my own life. I recount miraculous experiences of healing and self-discovery that challenge the strict boundaries of materialism and vitalism. These real life stories serve as a reminder that our understanding of life may require a synthesis of both approaches.

5. You are invited to reflect on your own beliefs and experiences as you navigate the complexities of existence. By exploring the interplay between materialism and vitalism, I further invite you to consider a more holistic understanding of life that embraces both the scientific and the spiritual.

6. This episode is not just an academic discussion; it’s a call to explore our inner selves and the world around us. Whether you lean toward a materialistic view or find resonance in vitalism, there’s something valuable to learn in this exploration. Tune in to this thought-provoking episode of Skeletal Leap and embark on your own journey of discovery.

“Was he a materialist or a vitalist?

Almost every single person is a complex integration of both these approaches.”

My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to “Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure”. Skeletal Leap transforms one’s life into a personal heaven.

Today’s episode will tell you about materialistic vs vitalistic approaches to life.

As early as I came to my senses, I found myself wondering.

I remember the little kid that I was, wondering who he was or even what he was. It was like a third person wondering about my self, the self that I thought I was. I also wondered if stones could do the same. I was told they could not.

Today, I comprehend it as something very unique. It was the awareness of being aware. I also wondered if animals could do the same. No one could tell me anything about this for sure. I wished I could turn into a cat, even if only for a moment, to know the answer. But that was not to be.

Later, I tried to satiate my curiosity from the stores of knowledge, i.e., books. Those were the days when the worldwide web hadn’t yet come into existence. So I devoured anything and everything that I could get my hands on regarding the subject.

What I first came to know from there about life were its characteristics in the living beings, such as:

1. Homeostasis meant regulating their internal environment.

2. Organization meant being composed of one or more of the basic units of life called cells.

3. Metabolism meant decomposing chemicals turning them to energy for cells to maintain life. 

4. Growth meant increasing in size in all its parts.

5. Adaptation meant evolving to adapt with the changing environment.

6. Response to Stimuli meant moving for safety and other purposes.

7. Reproduction meant ability to create similar life as their offsprings.

What I also came to know from there was that people had two basic approaches to life. One sided with materialism and the other, vitalism.

Materialism

Materialism opines that animals including humans are extremely complex machines. They are so complex that we haven’t yet been able to fully understand this level of complexity. But we may, someday. Or we will, one day.

Rene Descartes 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.

Then came Charles Darwin 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.

A little before Darwin, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck 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.

The two theories appeared to be in contrast with each other. Darwin’s theory sided with natural selection whereas Lamarck had sided with conscious use or disuse responsible for evolution. But Darwin never negated Lamarck’s proposition even once in any of his works. He rather supported it. This is simply indicative of the weight in both their propositions.

In fact, the latest synthesis of human evolution by the Baldwin Effect is a reconciliation between the neo-Darwinian and the neo-Lamarckian approaches. It shows Lamarckian adaptive changes being followed by Darwinian genetic changes without needing to inherit them directly from the parents.

Here is a quote by Ian Alexander…

“Lamarckian use and disuse compared to Darwinian evolution, the Baldwin effect, and Waddington‘s genetic assimilation… all the theories offer explanations of how organisms respond to a changed environment with adaptive inherited change.”

Courtesy, Ian Alexander

That was a bird’s eye-view of the materialistic approach to the question of life and evolution.

The other less scientifically accepted but extremely widespread approach in people’s psyche has been the vitalistic approach to life.

Vitalism

Vitalism opines that life comes to existence only when matter imbibes life energy that is cosmic in nature. This energy is supposed to be non-physical in its nature. It has been given different names in different cultures and different disciplines. It enjoyed the status of a testable hypothesis in the field of biology till as recently as the nineteenth century.

But despite several experiments, vitalism has failed to provide any substantial evidence to prove its verity as yet. Hence it has been denigrated to the level of a superseded scientific theory at best in the scientific community.

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’t it the same way that life is always visible to us too? Hence, why can’t we start taking life as self-evident as well?

That is what vitalists say when they challenge materialism to prove exactly what that complexity is about. This question comes up when materialism claims complexity in the material organization as the precursor of life. But materialistic science has no irrefutable answer to it yet.

Vitalists claim that, in this context, science has no moral ground to criticize vitalism as a superseded scientific theory. They argue that, by the same token, complexity could also be called a superseded scientific theory.

Vitalism claims that non-physical life energy can exist on its own without being imbibed by the matter. It claims its omnipresence as cosmic energy.

In fact, vitalism has a very long history, especially in the field of alternative medicine. The list is extremely long but the main proponent systems as vitalistic medicine are homeopathy, acupuncture, acupressure, aromatherapy, chiropractic, Chakra healing, Reiki, Pranic healing, cupping therapy, energy healing, Ayurvedic medicine, hypnotherapy, naturopathy, mind-body Interventions and quite a few more.

Also, apart from the field of medicine, vitalism has its roots dug really deep in human culture in the form of religion, spiritualism, morality, piety, yoga, meditation, rebirth, enlightenment, karma theory and the most importantly the concept of theism.

A majority of the world’s population believes in almost all these aspects as part of its culture. I don’t need to go numerical here posting their percentages but everyone knows they are quite high.

Then there are materialists in various spheres who are also vitalists in their wider approach to life. A certain Dr. Einstein comes to mind!

The Story of A Materialist Who Was A Vitalist Deep Within

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.

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.

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.

“Are you a doctor or I?” he challenged.

I got offended by the tone of his voice. “Are you suffering from a severed tendon or I?” I retorted in the same tone.

He started muttering, trying to save face from his students.

“I know better than you do. So better keep shut,” he came up with his next attack without even being humble enough to listen to his patient.

“I feel I have lost faith in you. So I wouldn’t like to continue with my treatment here,” I declared my decision then and there.

“It will be your responsibility alone in case your problem gets worse because of this,” he threatened me.

“I know that and I will indemnify the hospital when I sign my papers relieving me from here,” I gave my final verdict.

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, “You are right. My teacher is wrong. It is severed on the shoulder joint.”

“So?” I asked.

“Please don’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,” he looked for my approval.

I immediately agreed, “Please go ahead.”

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.

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.

I rushed back to the doctor. As he checked my arm again, his face went serious. “You’ve been very unlucky,” he said.

“Your tendon has nicely gotten attached to your shoulder joint. But unluckily the musculocutaneous nerve has also got crushed in the accident, I suspect,” he further explained.

“So?” I asked again.

“I am referring your case to the head of neurosurgery in the government hospital famous for its neurosurgeons,” he said.

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.

“As this nerve is located deep inside the arm, we generally don’t touch it. 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,” he gave me his prognosis.

“But doctor, it is a case of life and death in my case too,” I said.

“How come? What do you do?” he asked.

“I write for a living, which I will no more be able to do with my left hand,” I replied.

“Why? You can always train your left hand to be able to write as easily as with your right hand!” he suggested me.

“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,” my tone sounded like a cool determination to do what I had said I would.

The head suddenly went hyper-emotional, “No, don’t do that!” I could see tears along with empathy in his eyes.

“I’ll be compelled to!” I said in a depressed tone of voice.

“Okay, I am ready to take a chance on operating on your nerve. At least it will be better than dying. Just don’t commit suicide,” and he gave me an appointment for an operation on the 26th day of the month and it was only the 1st that day.

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’s most skilled neurosurgeons. But it was another thing that the chances of success were as low as hardly 50%.

The 26th day kept coming closer and closer but at a snail’s pace. Every morning, I would look at the calendar and count the days left for the appointment date all over.

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.

And then the miracle happened on the 26th day!

I woke up in the morning thinking I would rush to the hospital for my operation. It was then that I got the most pleasant shock of my life. Out of habit, I tried to lift my arm and could not believe what followed.

I was able to lift it well above my shoulder.

I lifted it many times until I was 100% sure that I was actually able to do so. I was successful every time!

And the first thing I did was to rush to the hospital in order to show this miracle to my surgeon. As he saw me lifting my arm every time without any obstruction, he looked to be extremely elated.

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, “God is great!”

I was excited to relive my life without carrying a tag of a disabled man written on my body.

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’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.

Was he a materialist or a vitalist?

Almost every single person is a complex integration of both these approaches. This great neurosurgeon was no different.

There is a reason for it. There are quite a few phenomena that the materialistic approach explains and handles way better than the vitalistic approach. But then, there are quite a few other phenomena that the vitalistic approach claims it can explain better. These are the ones that the materialistic approach has no clue about yet.

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.

It is again a story of another miracle that happened many years ago.

The Story of An Instant Materialistic Miracle That Happened to My Eyes

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.

It was then that the miracle happened.

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.

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.

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 —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.

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.

A few years later… 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 —2.25.

What a surprising change it had been! My right eye (pun intended) had gone wrong from 0.00 to —2.25. On the other hand, my left eye had improved tremendously from —5.00 diopter to —2.25 on its own. No theory in mainstream ophthalmology had been able to explain this improvement!

Back (in fact, forward) to the clarity of vision that I experienced on 12 December 2004!

I was seeing crystal clear in both eyes. It was instantaneous! I wasn’t able to believe my eyes. In fact, I didn’t blink for a long time.

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.

I felt disappointed. But I was not the kind of a vitalist that would say, “God is great!” 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.

No! Unlike the neurosurgeon who had been so kind to me, I wouldn’t leave it at that. I didn’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.

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’t able to understand it in clear steps of action.

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.

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…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.

During my research, I studied mainstream German ophthalmology which was unable to explain how I was able to correct my own eyesight.

I then came across the works of Dr W.H.Bates, an American ophthalmologist. I learned that Dr. Bates had discarded mainstream German ophthalmology very early in his ophthalmology practice as far as the process of accommodation was concerned. In return, mainstream German ophthalmology had ostracized him; something that stands till date. That had never bothered Dr. Bates himself, though.

He was a perfect materialist 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.

Regardless, Bates’ method had a serious shortcoming 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.

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.

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.

Bates was more concerned with central fixation of the mind in order to achieve central fixation of the eyes.

I was lucky enough to be able to turn it around.

I could focus my research on central fixation of the eyes via physical maneuvering of the extra ocular muscles.

Just as changes in the mind affect the body, changes in the body affect the mind as well.

That is why and how a skeletal procedure for achieving relaxation is able to demonstrate instantaneous effects in its small, little steps of achievements. An instant feedback at each and every step assures one that they are on the right track.

Imagine being able to read an extra line on the Snellen chart in a few minutes if not seconds.

How much will that enthuse us to proceed further with the meditative procedure of central fixation!

That is what Skeletal Leap has replaced the Bates method with as far as vision improvement is concerned.

The Chakra Discipline

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.

The problem with this system was that it was quite esoteric 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 chakras is merely plagiarized copies of the same esoteric scriptures. Their so-called authors are mostly equally devoid of personal experience and hence a real insight into the discipline.

The Chakra discipline 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 ‘spiritual’ procedures to extremely simple skeletal procedures to open chakras for mind-body relaxation.

The best test of my being on the right track was that these procedural shifts produced their intended results exactly as well as instantaneously. Instant eyesight improvement was only one of them.

Here is what I ultimately came up with…

7 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 part of them. They block Kundalini from moving up through Sushumna to the brain 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 is why the said blocks are called chakras. The ultimate results of opening them, as predicted in the scriptures, are a gushing surge of energy from the gut to the brain.

It is called Kundalini Awakening in the language of the Chakra discipline. And this is what the most central theme of Skeletal Leap is.

Skeletal Leap: Materialistic Or Vitalistic?

In the system of Skeletal Leap, the skeletal posturing corrections are called skeletal meditations. This is because they are as intense as they are simple when it comes to making them one’s first nature 24 x 7 x 365. It means being in a meditative state every single moment and not only for the duration of sitting in meditation alone.

That is why I call skeletal meditations the mother of all mediation on earth.

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.

Siding with physical skeletal meditations doesn’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.

And the ultimate skeletal meditation has the power to take us to spiritual awakening. In the language of skeletal meditation, it means freedom from all illusion.

It is illusion that blocks our sensitivity from sensing the free flow of energy in our mind-body system.

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 Skeletal Leap ultimately stands for.

It all started with a miracle that I coincidentally stumbled upon.

I still remember the date when it happened. It was on 12 December 2004 that I was standing near Sarojini Nagar Market. I was waiting for my wife to join me for some shopping over there together. She had got a little late, hence I kept standing for a long time at a stretch.

And it was then that the miracle happened.

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 at a stretch.

As I looked around, I got a pleasant shock of my life. I saw everything crystal-clear including advertising posters on electric poles in the field of my vision far and wide. I had never seen so clear in my life before.

It was a pleasant shock because I had been a myopic since I came to my senses. I had never been able to see clear at a distance.

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.

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.

Anyway, have you seen a miracle happening in front of your eyes ever?

I have! At least one.

My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to “Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure”.

Skeletal Leap transforms one’s life into a personal heaven.

Today’s episode will tell you about a miracle in the making, creating a personal heaven in life.

Miracles are patterns, just patterns.

It is only that they are seen very rarely.

They surprise us because we haven’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.

I often wonder why normal patterns don’t surprise us too. I think it is because we take them for granted and hence they don’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.

Anyway, have you seen a miracle happening in front of your eyes ever?

I have! At least one. 

Possibly the most promising and wide-reaching of them all! In fact, the scope of this miracle is so promising for our species that I feel an urgent need to share it with you.

It simply promises to be the next major evolution of Homo sapiens. It also promises to be a panacea for all lifestyle diseases of humanity on this planet.

Big claims! Huh?

I know. But the miracle is equally big…potentially. It is big in the sense that it hasn’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.

Well, so what exactly is this stuff that I have been going on and on about?

I call it Skeletal Leap!

Skeletal Leap

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.

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.

Had they not taken their first skeletal leap, we would never have been able to live a human life like we are living today. Thanks to them for that!

Smize: Smiling with Eyes

More recently, I came across a newly coined word in a different context that hurled me toward a new Skeletal Leap. It is called ‘Smize’.

Smize, a word coined by Tyra Banks, means smiling with your eyes. The way smize came to me was a miracle in itself. According to Macmillan Dictionary…

“Even if you haven‘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.”

“She had first used it on reality TV series “America‘s Next Top Model“. 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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Ekman describes micro expressions as involuntary facial expressions, which occur within a fraction of a second, often without our knowing. In fact, they cause ‘emotional leakage‘, i.e., expose our true feelings.”

So, Tyra had shot her arrow in 2009.

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.

Though it hit me hard, it didn’t hurt me at all. It rather invigorated me. Tyra might have coined it flirtatiously in her world, but it hurled me deep into Skeletal Leap.

How come?

I immediately spotted the miracle hidden inside the very concept of the word.

Those days, I was busy with my research in an absolutely different discipline. It was only later that I came to realize that both were not really different in their basic essence. In fact, they were the two sides of the same coin.

You might wonder what it was that I was doing. Well, I was finalizing the subtleties in the physical procedure of achieving a mind-body state called central fixation. It was central fixation of the eyes, of the body and of the mind.

I just took a temporary break from the heavy stuff and set my eyes into a casual, intentional smize. I spontaneously discovered that I had set my eyes in the exact mode of central fixation of the eyes. And I immediately spotted the similarity between the two.

I was smizing.

I was smiling with my eyes. It added a beautiful shine to them.

By now you might have started wondering what central fixation means.

Central Fixation

Central fixation means maneuvering the eyes, the body and the mind for doing whatever we are doing in the best way possible.

Central Fixation Of The Eyes

Central fixation of the eyes means seeing what our eyes are looking at most clearly. This happens when the image of the object being seen is created exactly at the fovea on the retina.

Central Fixation Of The Body

Central fixation of the body means executing what our body is doing, the best possible way. This happens when the body centers itself at its core (‘hara’ in Japanese), two inches below the navel.

Central Fixation Of The Mind

Central fixation of the mind 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.

All three of them have separate skeletal posturing codes taking one to the said states of central fixation.

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.

Whichever mode of central fixation we are in, we always automatically start smiling with our eyes.

The subject does merit further investigation.

And so do skeletal meditations, Smize being just one of the many out there!

Almost 100 years ago, the famous ophthalmologist Dr W.H. Bates first wrote about central fixation. Here is a quote from him…

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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—touch, taste, hearing and smell—are benefited by central fixation. All the vital processes—digestion, assimilation, elimination, etc.—are improved by it. The symptoms of functional and organic diseases are relieved. The efficiency of the mind is enormously increased.”

“The benefits of central fixation already observed are, in short, so great that the subject merits further investigation.”

Skeletal Meditations

Skeletal meditations are physical meditations concerned with posturing skeletal joints the way they ideally evolved to be postured supporting bipedal evolution. These are physical meditations aimed at achieving central fixation as opposed to the mental ones presently in vogue. They have a plus point in that, being a physical phenomenon, they are tangible and direct enough to grasp and practice.

Intangible phenomena 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 skeletal meditations are simple and direct in their procedures and the results they achieve.

Skeletal meditations hold great promises when executed through the three procedures of central fixation, namely, central fixation of the eyes, central fixation of the body and central fixation of the mind.

In its entirety, I have named it Skeletal Leap.

I call it the mother of all meditations on earth.

Skeletal Leap investigates the integration of skeletal re-posturing with central fixation to address various human concerns. It works by maneuvering the skeleton to achieve its ideal posture, equally in its static as well as dynamic states.

Evolutionarily speaking, the human skeleton underwent an unprecedented extent of transformation during bipedal evolution in an extremely short prehistoric span of time.

This transformation meant that our ancestors’ front legs turned free to eventually become hands.

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 entire history of evolution.

Such a transformation certainly required newer skills as well.

The process of learning newer skills might have started increasing the sizes of their brains too. This can also be construed as a new hypothesis to explain the unprecedented growth of the human brain in a short span of time…evolutionarily speaking.

An intelligent animal was in the process of evolving for the first time on the planet! It certainly gave them a decisive edge over their competitors on land and in water.

But it all came with a price tag they had to pay for it, maybe unknowingly.

And it was not a one-time payment.

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!

And the price was that this leap in evolution turned the entire length of our torsos from a horizontal orientation to a vertical one. When the torso was horizontally oriented, it was supported on four legs.

There were almost no further pulls of gravity on it.

As it came to a vertical orientation, gravity started pulling it down way more than before. It started pulling the joints of our skeleton down, especially on its upper parts which swung into the air without any solid support beneath.

The main victims were the skull, the shoulders, the backbone, the thoracic diaphragm, the hips and the knees.

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 ‘in’, resulting in contracting the muscles attached to them. All this resulted in these joints staying pulled down and tucked in rather than staying up and out.

Our skeleton got habitually postured in this deformed state 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.

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 state, perennially.

As a result, the said muscles get rigidified in those forcibly contracted or unnecessarily stretched lengths of their tissues.

In case of 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.

On top of it, they also have nerve endings and blood vessel endings attached to them.

As muscle shapes get distorted, so do the nerves and the blood vessels in their vicinity.

The Vagus Nerve: Communication between The Gut and The Brain

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. But when it gets deformed owing to the skeletal deformation, its function gets seriously compromised.

This is a good place to consider the two major approaches that have informed the human endeavor to make sense of pretty much anything — materialistic and vitalistic.

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 flow of life energy, keeping us healthy and energetic.

Kundalini: The Life Energy

As per the vitalistic approach, this life energy is called Kundalini in the ancient Chakra System first originated in the Indian subcontinent. 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 is exactly like the so-called vagus nerve actually comprising ventral vagus and dorsal vagus in English as its real biological constituents.

Lately, there has been a widespread debate raging 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 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.

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 sudden 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 my mind. The vagal tone goes up and visual perception becomes extremely acute. I personally have no doubt on the question of their congruity.

Hence, I will be using the terms Sushumna Nadi and vagus nerve interchangeably throughout the podcast. 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…in no man’s land.

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.

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. As per the materialistic approach, it is 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.

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 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.

With this lack of life energy or neural communication in our system, we become 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.

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.

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.

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.

Which points in Sushumna does Kundalini get interrupted at?

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.

Chakras: Blocking The Flow of Energy

What are chakras?

The word chakra literally means a wheel in the shape of a circle.

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 straight ahead. That is why the said blocks are called chakras.

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’t even exist and, therefore, it has been my contention that they shouldn’t even be called chakras at those points.

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.

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 their correct perspective.

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.

We, Homo sapiens, are the ones that have collectively developed chakras (which automatically means they are closed, remember!).

Now, the time has come for us to take the next major leap in Homo sapiens evolution.

And we are an intelligent species now. Hence we can certainly activate this next phase of evolution way better than we did the first one 7 million years ago.

Every single Homo sapiens needs to activate this next phase of evolution individually.

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.

This maneuver is a very subtle skeletal re-posturing that makes it possible for us to take the Skeletal Leap.

That is why I call it the mother of all meditations on earth.

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.

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.

These skeletal guided meditations are purely biological in their form and structure. But they are real miracles! They have a miraculous potential that allows Kundalini energy or neural communication to start flowing uninterrupted through the body with proper breathing. There are various skeletal postural adjustments to be made for various purposes.

In chakra parlance, this would be considered the ‘opening of chakras’.
We need to make these skeletal meditations our first nature 24x7x365.

It is to be done by keeping our skeletal posture ready and relaxed at all its joints, together.

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.

Each of these skeletal meditations, then, would essentially end up granting us local salvation at its intended level. Going up along their hierarchical levels, it would then become readily possible to achieve holistic salvation as well.

Once there, we would only need to ensure that we never fall back into our old skeletal posture again.

Guided Meditations

That is what Skeletal Leap will try to investigate further ahead. We will come up with specific insights into guided meditations that can achieve:

Spiritual Awakening | Kundalini Awakening | Chakra Opening | Instant Eyesight Improvement | Hara (nabhi kendra or core) Centering | Mindfulness through Emptying The Mind

Skeletal Leap’s guided meditations have been designed to address pretty much all concerns Homo sapiens have, as listed ahead:

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

The next Homo sapiens evolution has an additional potential of becoming a panacea for all kinds of lifestyle diseases. A short list of lifestyle diseases that Skeletal Leap tends to heal includes:

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

We can evolve now, or else we keep suffering.

In a world where climate change looms large, the need for individual and collective transformation has never been more pressing.

In the latest episode of a thought-provoking podcast, host Laadi Ojas delves into the concept of creating a “personal heaven” as a pathway to a more fulfilling life and a sustainable future for our planet.

Laadi introduces listeners to the idea that each person’s journey towards spiritual bliss can contribute to a larger movement aimed at achieving a collective heaven on earth.

This concept is not just about personal satisfaction; it’s about recognizing our interconnectedness and the impact each of us has on the world around us.

As Laadi eloquently states, “Earth wants to take everything back now,” it highlights the urgent need for us to reassess our relationship with nature and our resources.

The episode emphasizes that creating a personal heaven involves profound changes in our lives—changes that can ripple out to effect socio-cultural transformations.

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.

Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own lives and consider how they can contribute to this collective change.

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.

It challenges us to take cognizance of the miraculous patterns in our lives and to experiment with new ways of thinking and being.

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.

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.

If you’re seeking inspiration to transform your life and make a positive impact on the world, this episode is a must-listen.

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.

Tune in now, and let’s embark on this living adventure together!

Manifest Spiritual Awakening To Build A Heaven On Earth NOW! - Transcript

We overexploited our planet’s resources, without giving back what we took from it. Earth wants to take everything back now.

My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to “Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure”. Skeletal Leap transforms one’s life into a personal heaven.

Today’s episode will tell you how I cracked the code of experiencing spiritual bliss and creating a collective heaven on earth.

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.

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.

Every personal heaven is a story of one personal self. Wouldn’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.

Yes, miracles do happen.

We just need to take their cognizance and analyze their patterns.

It takes a lot of sensitivity to take their cognizance. And it takes a lot of experimentation to analyze the patterns they follow.

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.

I would also analyze their patterns in their minutest details along with their consequent effects on the subjects’ personalities.

It’s a change in an individual personality that initiates the process of a sociocultural change in a society.

And when a sufficient number of individual personality changes has taken place, the process of consequent sociocultural change gathers momentum.

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.

How can those individual personality changes be initiated? And how can it be ensured that such a change is profound?

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.

An individual change transforms an individual life into one’s own personal heaven.

A collective change will transform the entire world into a collective heaven worth living in.

I think our species is the apt custodian of life on the sole ‘living planet’ in the entire known universe.

Today, we have almost reached the edge of the point of no return from the harmful effects of human-induced climate change.

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.

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!

As David Attenborough said, “What we do in the next twenty years will determine the future of all life on earth.”

Who is to be blamed for it?

Our mind, our society and our culture!

Who else?

Our mind is greedy. It’s greedy because it’s fearful.

We, as a species, wanted to progress as much as we would, as fast as we could.

We overexploited our planet’s resources, without giving back what we took from it. Earth wants to take everything back now.

Isn’t it a lesson for our mind? Isn’t it a lesson for the way we have structured the concept and the practice of growth and development for our society? Isn’t it a lesson for our value system that we have erected human culture on?

Today, if we are humble enough to learn our lesson, we need to take immediate action.

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!

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!

Let’s do it.

Just do it.

Introducing SKELETAL LEAP: A Living Adventure

In this enlightening episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure, titled “Returning To Wholeness Manifests A Real Cool Heaven on Earth!“, host Laadi Ojas takes listeners on a transformative journey of personal healing and discovery.

The episode begins with a powerful assertion: “Every human life is a story in itself.” This sentiment sets the tone for an exploration into how we can make our stories more enriching and fulfilling.

Laadi shares his own experience with myopia, a lifestyle disease that initially seemed isolated but eventually unfolded into a comprehensive journey towards wholeness.

As he recounts his battle with cataracts at the age of 72, Laadi provides an insightful look into the complexities of eye health.

He discusses the common misconceptions surrounding cataract surgery and the use of intraocular lenses, emphasizing the importance of understanding one’s own body and its unique needs.

What is particularly intriguing is Laadi’s determination to maintain his vision without the need for reading glasses post-surgery, a feat that astonished both him and his surgeon.

Throughout the episode, Laadi introduces the concept of “central fixation,” a technique that he discovers can lead to a holistic approach to health, addressing not just eye-related issues but also mental and spiritual well-being.

He explains how relaxing certain muscles around the eyes can lead to improved vision, challenging conventional ophthalmology theories.

His personal success story serves as a testament to the power of self-discovery and the potential for healing that exists within us all.

Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own lives and consider how they can create their personal heavens.

Laadi invites everyone to embark on their own wellness journey and assures them that they can achieve similar results by following the principles he discusses.

He also offers his services for those who may need guidance in applying these techniques.

In a world where health issues often feel overwhelming, Laadi Ojas shines a light on the possibility of transformation and empowerment.

His journey is not just about vision correction; it’s about reclaiming one’s narrative and finding joy in the process.

For anyone seeking inspiration to improve their health and well-being, this episode is a must-listen.

Tune in to discover how you can begin crafting a more vibrant and fulfilling life story today.

Returning To Wholeness Manifests A Real Cool Heaven on Earth! - Transcript

Every human life is a story in itself. Make your story more interesting for yourself and for your loved ones!

My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to “Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure”. Skeletal Leap transforms one’s life into a personal heaven.

Today’s episode will tell you how I cracked the code of experiencing wholeness and creating a personal heaven in life.

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.

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’s why it’s also called old age sight.

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.

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’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’s a rule written in stone in every book of ophthalmology.

I got my date for the surgery booked and appeared for it on the due date.

As the surgeon was preparing his tools for the surgery, I said, “I think I have cracked the code of central fixation of the eyes.”

It was a few seconds before lying down on the operation table that I spoke these words.

He looked at me and replied, “Right now, I am not listening to you.”

He added, “I am in my pre-surgery trance. We will discuss it once the surgery gets successfully done.”

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.

“Why?” he asked, “Why wouldn’t we optimize it for your distant vision if needed so?”

“It’s because I am doing some experiments with the errors of refraction in my eyes. I don’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’t want my research to get disturbed by you optimizing my eyes for distant vision,” I said.

“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,” he retorted.

“How does it become unethical? Especially so if I am ready to use outside lenses for distant vision as well, if needed?” I said.

He looked at me with a puzzled expression as no one else had ever asked him to do so before.

I added, “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.”

He immediately interrupted me, “Don’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.”

“I will still like to use a pair of outside glasses for correcting my distant vision if needed at all. That’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’s not unethical if I prefer outside lenses to inside ones. Am I not right?” I asked him challenging his notion of ophthalmological ethics.

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.

He agreed. And I took a sigh of relief as it was a question of my entire research getting wasted otherwise.

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.

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.

It was a moment of extreme elation for me. Not optimizing my vision for distance had shown its favorable result.

The next day, on Wednesday, 16 February 2022, my left eye got operated with similar results.

As soon as both my eyes got intra ocular lenses inserted in them, I went impatient. I couldn’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.

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.

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.

He simply raised his hands in utter astonishment, saying, “I just don’t know how you are seeing near so clear.”

It was a miracle, so to say.

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.

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.

The question was how on earth I was able to see near so clear with inanimate lenses in my eyes.

There was only one way in which it could be explained scientifically.

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.

According to this explanation, the lens has no role to play in the process of accommodation. It’s the eyeball that effects and controls accommodation.

Eyes are constructed of eyeballs having two sets of six muscles on each one of them. Two of them are ‘oblique’ muscles and the rest four are ‘recti’. The two oblique muscles are there in the shape of a belt around the middle of the eyeball. The muscle above is called ‘superior’ and the one below, ‘inferior’.

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 ‘superior’, ‘inferior’, ‘internal’ and ‘external’ recti.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You can do it yourself if you literally follow the codes I have discussed about in this memoir. But in case you find any difficulty or else confusion of some kind, you can always ask for my services online. You can even ask for my in-person services where I take care of all subtleties in the application of these codes in case you aren’t able to pinpoint them either through the written code or else through the online assistance.

Every human life is a story in itself. Make your story more interesting for yourself and for your loved ones!

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 experiencing spiritual bliss and creating a collective heaven on earth.

Meditation has long been regarded as a transformative practice, but how often do we truly understand its potential?

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.

Ojas begins by discussing the common misconceptions surrounding meditation.

Many people believe that simply sitting in silence for a designated period can yield significant benefits. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Listeners are encouraged to explore how they can bring mindfulness into their everyday activities, whether it’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.

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.

If you’re ready to embark on a journey towards deeper understanding and transformation through meditation, don’t miss this enlightening episode of Skeletal Leap. Tune in now and discover the keys to unlocking your potential and living a life filled with clarity and joy.

It looks like people have such great faith in meditation that they feel it can provide them with all kinds of things they seek…

My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to “Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure”. Skeletal Leap transforms one’s life into a personal heaven.

Today’s episode will tell you how I cracked the code of instant brain activation and coming to here and now.

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.

As the mind progressively surrendered its control, I started feeling a little uneasy like one feels when stepping out of one’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’t liking the entire procedure but it couldn’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.

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.

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’s instantaneous as there is no train of fragmented thoughts disturbing its spontaneous focus. And it’s so speedy that despite getting registered in its memory cells, it doesn’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.

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.

This is what the ultimate aim of meditation is.

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.

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.

It looks like people have such great faith in meditation that they feel it can provide them with all kinds of things they seek.

According to a recent study, out of people’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’s priorities for what they expect out of meditation are in the following order…

1. Health and healing

2. Wellness

3. Religion and spirituality

4. Material gains

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.

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.

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’s not what relaxation means. A lethargic mind is not a relaxed mind.

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.

But mind, as such, is a fidgety child! It doesn’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.

We try to discipline it with our determination. It doesn’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.

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 within its consciousness and even underneath it, unconsciously.

It’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.

But then, who is this ‘we’ that is making all this Herculean effort to tame our mind? Isn’t it a part of our mind alone?

Anyway, even if we are able to relax the mind for an hour or so, it’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?

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 ‘self’. The fragmented parts keep fighting with one another making a noise. That’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.

But the only rational way to stop its chattering is emptying its content. That’s what we call emptying the mind. We have already discussed it in its operative details in the last episode. And that’s what meditation must do if it’s to do any real good to us.

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.

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.

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 ‘sitting in meditation’.

We need to empty our mind once and  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.

How can we turn whatever we are doing at the moment into a meditation?

It’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.

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’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’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’s how the mind affects the brain’s perception by falsely limiting it to a perception of the past.

Now let’s play a game. In the same scenario, let’s pretend we have lost our memory. We no more remember that it’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’s start eating it now. We would effectively be tasting it for the first time in our life.

If we are unable to feign loss of memory, let’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.

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.

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).

Let’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).

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’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.

I don’t mean to say that slowness of an action is the only thing that leads to its totality. At times, it’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.

However, these same types of slow or fast actions, when non-meditative, are either lethargic or impulsive, performing those actions either extra-slow or extra-fast. That’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’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.

Mental lethargy and mental hurry are modern-day epidemics. The two are solely responsible for human actions being non-meditative.

It doesn’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.

And when we enter that meditative state, we no longer need to ‘sit’ 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.

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’s how the mind gets trained to remain empty and keep doing its job of comprehending reality quietly.

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.

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’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.

Let’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.

That’s how trying to avoid it doubles its uneasiness on our system.

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’s what people never do in general.

What happens next?

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.

The mind remains empty until it gets afflicted by another habitual pattern of its conditionings.

This way, through being meditative all along, we can go on emptying our mind of its conditionings one by one.

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’s because breathing becomes an effortless action turning all other actions meditative as well, as and when they take place.

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.

Empty Your Mind with This Simple Procedure Right Now!

In the latest episode of our podcast titled “Empty Your Mind with This Simple Procedure Right Now!“, Laadi Ojas takes us on a profound journey into the intricacies of the mind and its relationship with the brain.

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.

Ojas introduces the concept of “central fixation” - a term that describes the mind’s ability to focus and review information processed by the brain.

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.

This distinction is vital for understanding how we navigate our lives and the challenges we face.

Throughout the episode, Ojas explores the various instincts that drive human behavior, such as hunger, curiosity, and the drive for interaction.

He emphasizes that these instincts can often be overshadowed by emotions and morals, which may hinder our ability to live fully and joyfully.

The mind’s tendency to hold on to unresolved issues creates a state of internal conflict, leading to feelings of fatigue and dissatisfaction.

One of the most striking revelations in this episode is Ojas’s assertion that true joy arises from satiating our instincts rather than chasing fleeting emotions like happiness.

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.

Instead, he advocates for a deeper understanding of our instincts and urges us to embrace them without fear.

Ojas also touches on the idea of emptiness in the mind, which can be achieved through practices such as meditation and skydiving.

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.

This state of emptiness allows for spontaneous action and clarity, free from the burdens of overthinking.

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.

By aligning our awareness with our true drives, we can experience life more fully and authentically.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in personal growth, mindfulness, and the complex interplay between the mind and body.

Join Laadi Ojas as he unravels the secrets to achieving instant central fixation of the mind and transforming your life into a personal heaven.

Don’t miss out on this enlightening conversation that promises to inspire and empower you on your journey of self-discovery.

Mind is the reviewing faculty of brain. It never views. It only re-views what the brain has already viewed and acted upon.

My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to “Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure”. Skeletal Leap transforms one’s life into a personal heaven.

Today’s episode will tell you how I cracked the code of instant central fixation of the mind.

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.

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.

But how would I define central fixation of the mind in a tangible manner without going abstract about it?

First of all, I needed to define what exactly the word ‘mind’ 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.

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!

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’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’t be the part of awareness. Hence, the brain and the mind ought to be two different entities.

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’t be able to count if I decided so.

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’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.

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?

They were keeping the mind busy. But why did they need to keep it busy? Why didn’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’t letting my mind take a rest.

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.

It was a discovery. Whatever had happened ‘suddenly’ during the past few seconds, wasn’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’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.

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’t been satiated.

My brain (not my mind) suddenly rewarded me with another insight again. It said, “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.”

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.

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.

Here is what I came out with what we experience all around us today…

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’t negatively affected the spontaneous perception and action taken by the brain.

Why is reviewing required?

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.

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.

Even this wouldn’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.

It’s this fear that’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.

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’s rather a conceived threat that the contaminated free will of the reviewer attaches to its comprehension.

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.

All these different instincts need to be given exclusive emphases in an overall inclusive manner. None of them less, none of them more!

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.

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 as can make one even ignore one’s safety and security. In fact sex should fall under the category of death instincts as opposed to the instincts of self preservation.

(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.)

As a result, human culture and society tag sex as the basic sin, acting from that fearful mind’s apprehensions.

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’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’s how and why passion and joy are conceptually closely associated with sex and adventure.

Curiosity is something that questions culture and society’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’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.

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.     

Hence, human culture and society are structured on the foundation of curbing these instincts either overtly or covertly.

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’s why and how they appear to be death instincts to the mind.

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.

What happens when energy is suppressed? In fact, it’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.

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’s what our dreams are.

Not only this, even during their exile in the unconscious, these repressed instincts don’t become fully inactive. They retain their capacity to affect the decisions taken by the unconscious mind against its conscious reasoning.

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’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’s not only about getting attracted but also about having sex with them mentally, if not physically… and stealthily.

Mind fragments itself in many parts, all fighting with one another all day long. This infighting continually tires ‘us’ even when ‘we’ haven’t done that much work to justify ‘our’ tiredness. We never get as tired when we enjoy doing something as we do when we don’t enjoy doing it. In fact, we almost don’t get tired when enjoying, even while doing the toughest of jobs.

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.

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 ‘idea’ of joy which we call happiness.

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’t need to be ‘happy’ 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.

Ironically, unlike passion, emotions always exist as pairs of opposites:

Happiness - Sadness

Bravery - Cowardice

Courage - Timidity

Confidence - Diffidence

Hope - Despair

Excitement - Boredom

Attachment - Detachment

Anger - Guilt

Pride - Shame

Anxiety - Depression

Fear - Greed

One might wonder how fear and greed are opposite emotions. Isn’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.

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.

Let me give another example here. Psychology tells us to be confident instead of being diffident. How does being confident help us? Let’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’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.

We desire to be confident only because we are basically diffident. Isn’t it a better thing to be neither and just be natural, ready to face what naturally comes to us?

That’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.

Everyone always feels like they are missing something in life but no one really knows what!

What we all are missing is joy right now, which only passion can generate, not any emotions.

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’s physiology through its nervous system across the entire body.

Let’s see how.

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.

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 ‘in’. (In the army training throughout the world, they go a step further in a dangerous way. They train soldiers in tucking the skeleton ‘out’ 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 ‘brave’ 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.

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’s how the materialistic approach to life looks at it.

Let’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).

The similarity in the physiological descriptions of two diametrically opposite philosophical approaches to life has always intrigued me.

Maybe the two approaches are ways of looking into the same reality from two different angles!

Time will tell.

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’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.

What’s the way out?

Either we change the psychology of mind or the physiology of body to put it back on the right  track.

If the mind can affect the body negatively, the body can affect the mind as well and positively, at that.

Changing the psychology of the mind is an uphill task, mainly because it’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’s because there are many wrong but only one right way and we are trying to hit the bullseye blindfolded.

On the other hand, let’s look at a miraculous physical activity that changes the psychology of the mind instantaneously.

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’t need to. Whatever little oxygen they require is absorbed by their skin through osmosis in their system. Its only limitation is that it’s there only for the duration of 6-7 minutes it takes to touch the ground. As this intense experience instantly changes the body’s physiology, it also instantly changes the mind’s psychology.

Here is a firsthand account of a first-time skydiver:

“I was OUT… everything mentally ended… over… started… me… perhaps more dead than alive… perhaps more alive than I will ever be… breathing just as I had been taught… wind… wind and breath… until wind and breath became indiscernible, became as one… and yes, almost weightless… it was true! … weightless and so surreal… there was the earth, neither coming at me, nor me at it, … no up… no down… no me, in the ego sense of me, just some thoughtless consciousness… and yes, it was awesome simply to be… or not. The sky was in my lungs and it never once occurred to me would the parachute open.”

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.

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’s not easy. It scares the mind to death, quite literally. The mind really considers it as its death. That’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.

That’s why and how mental and spiritual meditations, at times, get reduced to performing pious rituals alone.

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’s happy being in control of not only our psychology but also our biology. It does so by turning our perceptions and urges mechanical.

It’s only possible to empty the mind using itself when it’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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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, “Hey!”

“Hey!” the man shouted back from the hilltop.

I explained to him in my sign language what we were up to.

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.

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.

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.

“I had seen this rock from above and I knew you would need my help to climb it,” he said, smiling.

“Thanks a lot!” 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.

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.

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’t work.

“Oh!” he exclaimed, disappointed.

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.

The man and I looked into each other’s eyes and then down at the river below flowing with roaring ferocity.

“We forgot this,” I said.

“Now?” he asked me.

“It’s risky,” I said with a sigh.

“Disappointing,” he sighed back dropping his head on the top of the rock.

“Hey! Is it really impossible?” I looked at the height and the slope of the rock.

“Not exactly, but yes, almost!” he opined.

“Why don’t we do it! I can push myself up with all my might,” my adventure bug bit me further.

He looked at me intently, “I don’t bother about myself. But you have a family along. If you aren’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… not to be found even as dead bodies ever! A falling man catches at a straw. You won’t even be able to leave my hand, pulling me down along,” he explained what all it could entail.

“Oh, then send them back and we will go down the way we came up from,” I felt concerned about a stranger’s life not to be jeopardized.

“But I won’t feel good!” he exclaimed as he looked into my eyes intently again.

I kept looking back into his.

“Okay, let’s do it. Just take care to sync your push with my pull exactly at the same moment,” he finally gave his verdict.

“Think twice before you say yes,” I said.

“You too!” came his reply.

“Ready?” I asked.

“Ready?” he asked.

We both started counting aloud, “One, two, three!”

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’s face!

I did it. In fact, my body did it. I don’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’t have any clue of how he had done what he had.

My wife and daughter didn’t even come to know what we both had come up through.

My mind was just empty as it remained empty for a long while after.       

But the habits die hard. The entire pattern comes back to the same square one once the emergency gets over.

Hence though imminent emergencies can empty our mind in a flash of a second, they aren’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’s story mentioned in episode 11.

But then, how can the mind be permanently emptied?

Remember the firsthand account of a first timer in skydiving quoted before above?

I repeat it here for your convenience…

“I was OUT… everything mentally ended… over… started… me… perhaps more dead than alive… perhaps more alive than I will ever be… breathing just as I had been taught… wind… wind and breath… until wind and breath became indiscernible, became as one… and yes, almost weightless… it was true! … weightless and so surreal… there was the earth, neither coming at me, nor me at it, … no up… no down… no me, in the ego sense of me, just some thoughtless consciousness… and yes, it was awesome simply to be… or not. The sky was in my lungs and it never once occurred to me would the parachute open.”

It’s a perfect example of a mind having gone emptied. And what a tremendous experience this was!

But unfortunately this too stays only for a maximum duration of 6-7 minutes. That’s while the skydiver is falling free before the parachute opens.

We could extend this time with the help of a virtual reality simulator without even having a real skydiving session. But how long for?

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.

In fact, I am already working on a project that proposes to testify this hypothesis under strict laboratory conditions.

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!

The code of instant central fixation of the mind is same as the code of instant kundalini awakening / establishing gut-brain communication.

And that’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.

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’s emptiness again.

In case we ever miss the sequence, the hell isn’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.

Dynamic Core Stability Gets You READY to Challenge Masters!

In today’s fast-paced world, maintaining a healthy lifestyle can seem like a daunting task. With obesity rates soaring and a growing awareness of its detrimental effects, it’s more important than ever to explore effective strategies for wellness.

In the latest episode of Skeletal Leap, titled “Dynamic Core Stability Gets You READY to Challenge Masters!“, host Laadi Ojas dives deep into the fascinating science of our bodies and how understanding our evolutionary history can lead to better health outcomes.

Laadi begins by highlighting the significant role of bipedalism in human evolution. Unlike animals that move on all fours, humans have adapted to walk upright, which has profound implications for our skeletal structure and overall movement.

This transition has provided us with enhanced freedom of movement but also comes with the responsibility to maintain our body’s center of gravity.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

As the episode concludes, Laadi invites listeners to embrace the journey of self-discovery and personal development through mindful movement. By understanding our body’s design and harnessing the power of our core, we can combat obesity and enhance our quality of life.

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 “Dynamic Core Stability Gets You READY to Challenge Masters!“ is a must-listen for anyone seeking to improve their health and well-being.

Obesity throughout the world has assumed a debilitating stature making its scale even larger than a pandemic.

My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to “Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure”. Skeletal Leap transforms one’s life into a personal heaven.

Today’s episode will tell you how I cracked the code of instant central fixation of the body.

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.

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.

I chose the movement of body in space, first. It needed to remain stable while making any kind of movement. The animal movement wouldn’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.

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.

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.

Foot as a platform didn’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.

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.

Evolution, driven by bipedalism changed the length of Homo sapiens’ 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.

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’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.

All the large joints of the lower limbs got aligned in a vertically oriented straight line.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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’t have been held up straight.

The two anteriorly concave bends in the sacrococcygeal and thoracic regions have been retained from the original fetal curvature.

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’s center of gravity vertically in line with its feet.

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.

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.

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’s center of gravity no more remains vertically in line with its feet. In such scenarios we tend to stumble even if we don’t really fall down outright. The more we are able to keep our body’s center of gravity vertically in line with its feet, the more stable we remain in our movements that we keep making all day long.

That’s why we need to center our body and keep that centering intact while we are making movements. The quadrupeds don’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.

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’t keep our vertebral column postured the way it has been designed to keep our body’s center of gravity vertically in line with its feet.

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.

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’t always there when I started my winning spree. Hence it couldn’t be given the sole credit of it.

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.

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.

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.

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 “a mind-body exercise that requires core stability, strength, and flexibility along with attention to muscle control, posture, and breathing”.

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.

The core muscles include…

1. Abdominal group of muscles (rectus abdominis, internal and external obliques, and transverse abdominis)

2. Erector spinae group of muscles (iliocostalis, longissimus, and spinalis)

3. Pelvic floor group of muscles (coccygeus, iliococcygeus, puborectalis, and pubococcygeus)

4. Thoracic diaphragm muscle that activates the diaphragmatic breathing

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’s a better way to strengthen your core muscles – 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!

Centering the body even while not making any movement has an additional benefit that’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.

Obesity throughout the world has assumed a debilitating stature making its scale even larger than a pandemic. That’s why and how the weight loss business has become one of the most lucrative businesses the world over!

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’s not possible for fat to get accumulated on the belly. If it’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.

In this episode of Skeletal Leap, Laadi Ojas takes listeners on a profound journey of self-discovery and healing.

He reveals how he cracked the code of instant kundalini awakening and established gut-brain communication, sharing personal experiences that highlight the incredible power of energy flow and chakras.

Laadi begins by discussing the state of flow, a phenomenon that many have experienced but few understand fully. 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.

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.

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 “Mannavanur magic mushroom”. 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.

Listeners will be captivated by Laadi’s storytelling as he recounts miraculous events from his life that demonstrate the extraordinary capabilities of the human body.

He emphasizes the importance of letting go and being open to the energy that surrounds us, which can lead to profound healing and transformation.

In conclusion, this episode is not just about Laadi’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.

Tune in to this enlightening episode of Skeletal Leap and discover how you too can crack the code of your own energy awakening.

The state of flow hasn’t yet fully been understood in terms of its associated cellular processes that make it happen.

My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to “Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure”. Skeletal Leap transforms one’s life into a personal heaven.

Today’s episode will tell you how I cracked the code of instant kundalini awakening and establishing gut-brain communication.

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.

Opening chakras had excellently done their job as a panacea. It wasn’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.

I also knew that medical science hadn’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.

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.

As I generally do in response to any infection, I didn’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.

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’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.

This naturally scared me because rheumatoid arthritis, unlike viral arthritis, was an autoimmune disease. And I was aware that medical science hadn’t yet been able to invent a total cure for any autoimmune irregularity.

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 “medicinal management” 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.

I told him I wasn’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’t, I would rather say bye to the world. He couldn’t say yes but tried his best to change my mind and gave me a month-long medicinal course.

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’d continue living. Not otherwise!

In the end, to make things lighter, I said, “If I do, I will invite rheumatoid patients the world over to come to me for a permanent cure!”

He was ready, smiling with his funnily crisp reply, “Hey! I need to put food on the table for my family too!”

I immediately started focusing on central fixation of my body again; something I had ignored due to my trauma.

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  brought my arms and my hands back to their natural posture for good. And an open crown chakra took care of my autoimmune tendency.

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.

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.

Three miraculous stories from my life come to my mind. All three of them indicate that human body is a storehouse of all kinds of mysterious energy bursts.

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.

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, “This godlike man just saved this kid from getting run over by that car. But he himself doesn’t know how.”

Hearing him, the middle-aged gentleman who had a mechanic shop near which he was sitting looked at us. He said, “I really don’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  that the kid was gone. And now these people are telling me I have saved him.”

“Yes,” another man interrupted the conversation, “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!”

The middle-aged gentleman laughed in doubt, “Maybe God entered my body and made me do what you say I did. But honestly speaking, I just don’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?”

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.

I silently saluted that man and went my way, thinking deep within.

Even today, I don’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.

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.

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’t stop after half an hour and continued running further. I got tired but I didn’t stop. I still continued running. One hour passed. I was nearly exhausted but I still didn’t stop. I still remember my feeling behind doing so. I was simply teasingly flirting with myself.

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.

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.

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.

I reached home and sat down in a chair ingesting deep within what I was experiencing.

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 ‘being in the zone’.

The state of flow hasn’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:

• Completely involved in what we are doing – focused, concentrated.

• A sense of ecstasy of being outside everyday reality

• Great inner clarity – knowing what needs to be done, and how well we are doing.

• Knowing that the activity is doable – that our skills are adequate to the task.

• A sense of serenity – no worries about oneself, and a feeling of growing beyond the boundaries of the ego.

• Timelessness – thoroughly focused on the present, hours seem to pass by the minute.

• Intrinsic motivation – whatever produces flow becomes its own reward.

It’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.

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.

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’t have stopped talking to each other.

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.

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’ clock in the afternoon at that moment. We decided we would meet after three hours, at 6 o’ clock in a nearby restaurant.

I left her hostel and started walking on the road. But I suddenly discovered my gait was not the same old gait. I wasn’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’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.

Believe it or not, I kept feeling like flying at the same speed for full three hours. And dot at 6 o’ clock, I ended up at the restaurant where we had decided to meet.

What happened during the meeting was beyond my wildest imagination, but that’s not what we’re concerned with in this memoir.

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.

I kept thinking if we could release serotonin at will. Our body is a storehouse  of all kinds of possible miracles whether you categorize them under materialistic or vitalistic approach. Why don’t we unearth them and make them an integral part of our life at will?

Back to my renewed resolve of cracking the code of instant kundalini awakening or else establishing gut-brain communication whatever it could be!

As per my assertion, once chakras were opened, the energy should have risen upward through the spine on its own. But it didn’t. I kept thinking why but couldn’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.

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.

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’t understand each other’s language.

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 ‘Mannavanur Magic Mushroom’ 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.

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 ‘Mannavanur Magic Mushroom’ 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.

I started getting a moving visual in front of my mind’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’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.

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.

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.

“How do I do that?” 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.

Hours had passed by now but they just didn’t feel like hours at all. It was like time had stopped moving further. Only the needles of my watch were moving!

“How do I do that?” I again asked to my deeper self.

I don’t know who said these words but they immediately impinged on to my conscious mind, saying, “Let go.”

What was I holding on to? What was I not letting go?

I again ‘heard’ the same words through impinging on to my conscious mind, “Let go.”

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’t do it further.

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.

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.

I had cracked the code of instant kundalini awakening or else establishing gut-brain communication whatever it could be! It wasn’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.

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.

I opened my eyes. It had already gone dark all around. I looked at my host and found him smiling. I didn’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.

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’t even know his name but then I felt it didn’t even matter. What mattered was what had happened all along.

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.
