Body, Mind and Spirit🔗

Our body is intelligence, not just a bio-mechanism. It is created, maintained and destroyed by our own thoughts. The emotions that we engrave inside ourselves are toxins that create a distance between our bodies and ourselves. The consciousness that we create within can dissolve these toxins and produce tremendous changes in our body, destroying disease at the physical and psychosomatic levels. When we meditate, our consciousness deepens. When we learn to relax into our own body, we will be healthy and vibrant.

Our mind is the center for processing and assimilating sensory information and has a strong influence over our body’s setup. The root of our mind is most often ‘dilemma’. When we choose with dilemma, we choose only suffering. Choosing is always suffering. Choicelessness is bliss. Our inner space needs to be free from dilemma so we may live in the present, enjoying it as it is. When we live in the moment, we explode in all directions entering into infinite possibilities. We then live with complete awareness and actualize our entire potential.

Verbalization is the constant inner chatter that goes on within us. We repeat sets of words inside us and continuously create self-contradicting results for ourselves in the outer world. Our thinking is not real thinking; it is mere ‘association’. It is an association of unrelated thoughts from the past and the future. Any information perceived is processed through this database of unrelated information. As a result, we make illogical decisions and miss the present. Meditation frees us from this pattern of unconscious decision-making. It keeps us in a state of complete awareness and deep consciousness.

Meditation is done to reach the level of the spirit or being. The being is nothing but consciousness. When you achieve your being, you feel completely at home; you feel you have come to your space. In your quest, you need to have the courage to find your space, the courage to experiment with the Truth. Meditation is the way to experiment with the Truth and experience it. It is the way to your being.

Dr. Juan Acosta-Urquidi and his associate, Ann Trechak from Sound Health Designs, LLC, Wichita, KS, USA were offered the unique opportunity to record an EEG (Electroencephalography) session with Swamiji.

The observations showed Swamiji switching his brainwave patterns as he transited through different altered states of Consciousness. Another aspect of the research involved Heart Rate Variability (HRV) analysis, which is a useful tool to explore the energetic transactions between two subjects.

(Refer Acosta-Urquidi, JACM, 2004, vol. 10(4); Acosta-Urquidi and Trechak, 15th ISSSEEM Confer. '05; see also www.heartmath.org).

The Heart Rate Variability (HRV) from Swamiji and a volunteer subject were simultaneously recorded while the subject received healing from Swamiji. The HRV measurements obtained before (the control baseline) and during the healing session were then compared.

As shown in the data below, shifts in the power spectra signal were recorded in the receiving subject during the healing by Swamiji and also when Swamiji was sending healing energy into the room, not specifically directed at the subject.

Above: Ann Trechak records the HRV baseline from Swamiji before He starts the healing session.

Right: Swamiji performs healing on the subject. Both Swamiji and the subject are hooked up to HRV analysis equipment.

Following are a few pictures that show that Swamiji's healing energy affects the HRV signals recorded in the receiving subject:

Baseline heart rhythm tachogram recording (approximately 7 mins.)

The following 3 graphs show the power frequency spectra of tachogram signal.

The graph below shows the spectral signal value, at approximately 0.25, indicating parasympathetic state dominance (the subject was very quiescent).

In the graph below, a new peak appears at the far left, indicating robust sympathetic arousal, which mirrored Swamiji's spectral signal (not shown).

In the graph below, peaks at the far left and far right persisted (reduced amplitude) and a new signal appeared at 0.20, indicating a significant shift towards sympathetic arousal to match the energy of Swamiji's heart.

It was concluded that the subject's heart rhythms entrained to Swamiji's during the healing session.

The team concluded the experiments saying, "We look forward to more scientific studies of Swamiji, to objectively validate His great spiritual gifts at this crucial time when planetary healing is such a priority."
