Observation #16: Observations during dhyaan as newly understood

After some reading, There is some refinement in understanding how to perform dhyaana.

Below are some of the points for Guidance:

1. Spine has to be perfectly straight. Theres no compromise on this. try and sit as close to a straight wall or a straight back chair so that you stay straight even if you relax after a while. there is no room to slouch.
2. We need to focus on the breathing.. count of 8 for inhale, count of 8 for retention and count of 8 for exhale to begin with.. after a while when you feel that the rhythm is attained, we can focus further (I think its okay even if its on lesser counts provided the rhythm is uniform)
3. Try the Hong-Sau sounds - While you inhale the breath should sound as hong and while exhale should sound as saw or Sau. (I have tried, I loose track after a while but feel should not be difficult as you get a habit of breathing accordingly)
4. After the breathing is come to a rhythm, need to focus on mind in between both eyes or on the forehead just above that point.
5.  The pronunciation of Aum along with above helps in concentrating the mind.


The idea is to sit very still and make the mind still as well. Lot of energy is wasted/utilised in physical movements as well as mental wandering. These energies need to be conserved. then can channel these energies.

Initial observation is that in the process of doing so I came back to look at the watch about 15-20 min later which means that some sort of concentration did happen. Also Felt a little dizzy so lied down in savasana . Felt fresh post Savasana. Now Am not sure the freshness was due to savasana alone or the dhyana done earlier and then Savasana.

Postulate : Oxygen in Blood Without breath!

Postulate : Oxygen in Blood Without breath!

Happened to Read few chapters of the Book "autobiography of a yogi" by Paramhansa yogananda ji.

The Book is profoundly intriguing and  arousing immense interest to know more about experiences and thought process of a yogi

The State of enlightenment is elaborately described. As understood, it says that the kriya Yoga helps to energize body and takes the person is a different level of light feeling and energy currents flowing through the body. There is change at molecular level in the constitution of blood cells where the carbon elements are replaced by oxygen in turn enriching the blood with oxygen. This enriched blood then energises all the other organs. The accumulation of blood ceases and results in stopping the decay of cells. this is enlightenment as brain cells too function more with excess blood supply.

With this enriched blood, The body no longer is dependant on the oxygen from the breath. the Yogi as said by lord krishna/yogi Patanjali can exhale and inhale at the same time. (Since he no longer is dependant on the sync between breaths and infusing of oxygen into blood.

Now thinking further on this aspect that how can the enrichment of blood happen, I tend to visualise these energy currents as literally electricity and that the application of normal laws of current to these energy forms can give a surprising support to the statements.. Considering the Energy as electricity, Lets assume that the electricity is flowing through the spine. this spine is also contributing to generation of blood via the bone marrow for the bones in the spine. As a common element, body has surplus flow of water element throughout the body. This condition may indicate the presence of water and the electricity in the vicinity of the blood generating bone marrow. The electricity in contact with water initiates a fairly simple and understandable phenomenon of electrolysis where in the water is disintegrated into hydrogen and oxygen molecules. This Oxygen gas is getting dissolved in the fresh generated blood and is taken further into circulation. Hence the enriched Blood !!

Also we have hydrogen which is getting generated which may be the reason of persons feeling lighter after the process. Need to read on further what would be effect of hydrogen being infused along with oxygen.

The theory does seem a logical possibility.. !!
