Single handedly, what is the root cause, the infectious thing that creates a disease of the soiling of the environment, water, soil, air? To my understanding, one fundamental thing if we can tackle, will solve these problems. that is, regulate your thought pollution. How can you regulate your mind? Embrace spirituality. Meditate.

Daaji, Heartfulness Meditation

Dr. Lad shares his space as he connects with every client, every relationship in his life essentially – remaining established in the “gap” as a physician, as a father, as a husband, as a teacher:

SOHUM – Glory of choiceless passive awareness. Awareness is expansive – there is no difference between me and them. And out of that awareness, unconditional love takes place. He says: I truly love my clients – they also fall in love – this is the glory of unconditional love – not Dr. Lad’s glory – All of us have this glory. When listening – listen to the inner person from the inner person. Clinical work is meditation, even teaching is meditation.

In this body, a microcosm reflecting the macrocosm,
the vertebral column (also referred to as Mt Meru) is surrounded by seven islands;
there are rivers, seas, mountains, fields; and energies governing these fields. External observable macro-phenomenon are internalized and have equivalents within one’s body. The outside world is within, in the form of rivers, channels, fire, self and others.

Siva Samhita, 2.1

I shared with you highlights of a webinar I attended this weekend, part of my studies of Ayurveda, addressing aspects of modern science discovered many years ago from the context of our “subtle” bodies. What does this have to do with SILENCE?

• how are pathologies like hypothyroidism linked to the subtle energies of our throat centre
• what is the energy that we experience as bliss when we empty out our bladder for example, or when we have a healthy bowel movement?
• what makes us hungry? what is the intelligence that guides us to sit in silence?
• What is the connection with the coiled serpent like inner dormant energy, the gap between two thoughts or the gap between two breaths, and silence?

The Sanskrit adjective kuṇḍala means “circular, annular”. It occurs as a noun for “a snake” (in the sense “coiled”, as in “forming ringlets”) in a 12th-century chronicle. The Sanskrit feminine noun kuṇḍalī means “ring, bracelet, coil (of a rope)”, and is the name of a “serpent-like” Shakti energy.
