​The Body Domain, Annamaya Kosha. Some Thoughts.

Health The condition of the body is largely governed by the state of the mind. People who eat home cooked food (food cooked with positive emotions by the maker) are in general healthier than people who eat food cooked by others, who cook at as a part of their job. This is irrespective of geography or social status, across the world.

I am covering this aspect very briefly, as there is a lot of content available on this topic. I am sharing some insights that can fundamentally alter the way you percieve the body.

Longevity

It is established that slow breath is directly associated with longevity. It is in low oxygen state, that the body rejuvenates itself. No wonder yogis in the himalayas live to 100 plus years. Athletes around the world are subjected to monitored environment of low oxygen environments.

So along with stem cell therapy to increase life span, which is external, I am exploring the bahya pranayam (or breath out and hold technique). Thanks to Sanjeev for this profound insight.

Significance of A Human Being in relation to Universal Dimensions Space and time.

The age of the universe is 14 billion years. The age of human being is 70 years average. Hence it is 0.00000005%.There a Trillion Trillion Stars in the observable universe and sun is one of them. Earth is of the 9 plantes and. You are one of the 8 billion + people on earth! Both in terms of space and time, the body, as you think you are is absolutely insignificant.

Death.

When the body can not contain the energy, it leave the body, it can happen in 2 cases

1. Body is weak. So the life energy leaves it. Example old age.

2. Expanding consciousness

Consciousness has expanded so much that the body is not able to hold it. (Samadhi in yoga) Vivekananda (40) , Dyneshwar mauli (21).Gulabrao maharai (32) are examples of samadhi taken early.
