Transform Your Body and Mind

Yoga—no matter the style—is a remembering of who we are: the harmonious union of mind, body, and spirit. What many people don’t realize is that this ancient practice creates measurable biological transformation in the body.

Science now confirms what sages have known for millennia:
Yoga and meditation can lower blood pressure, reduce cortisol, enhance oxygen exchange, strengthen the immune system, support digestion, and reshape the body from the inside out.

But here’s the deeper truth—those physical benefits are not the goal. They are the side effects of something far more profound. By realigning our disbalanced chakras, yoga helps improve our health in so many ways.

The true intention of asana (posture practice) is to awaken the dormant Kundalini energy within us. Through the precise geometry of the body and the rhythm of the breath, we stimulate specific regions of the brain and subtle energy centers that elevate our consciousness.

Yoga doesn’t just change how you look—it changes how you live, feel, and awaken.

The 7 major chakras are each associated energetically with a major nerve plexus, a major endocrine gland, and various internal organs and physiologic processes. The major endocrine glands which secrete hormones then connect to the brain via the vagus nerve.  A widely accepted theory in Quantum Physics is that “Everything is Energy”. 

Everything is electrical energy and everything connects via magnetic energy. Electrical energy is always flowing through our bodies via our nerves and neural pathways. Whether we think, breathe, are active, or just rest, the movement of energy is vital to life.  

The most relevant aspect of the nervous system to the chakras is the parasympathetic nervous system of the autonomic nervous system of the peripheral nervous system. 

The autonomic nervous system controls the involuntary or automatic responses in our bodies. For example, functions such as digestion of food, our heart rate, sneezing, swallowing and breathing are all processes regulated by the hypothalamus and the autonomic nervous system. 

Unlike the fight or flight responses regulated by the sympathetic nervous system of the autonomic nervous system, the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) are specific to functions activated with resting and ruminating.

The major endocrine glands connected to the 7 major chakras are connected to the brain via the Vagus nerve, the 10th cranial nerve. In this manner, the 7 major chakras communicate with our brain, and in turn our thoughts communicate with and influence our frequencies.

Below is an excerpt from a scientific study published in the Indonesian Journal Of Electrical Engineering And Computer Science March 2018, in which chakras are identified by measuring the electromagnetic waves they emit:

"The research is on the electromagnetic radiation of human body before and after jogging. 30 healthy students from UiTM with an age range of 23-25 years old volunteered. The seven locations of chakra points were measured. The body frequency (in MHz) is captured using frequency detector by taking the reading of the frequency 5 times at each point at the same location; hence, the average value is calculated for data analysis. This frequency measurement is recorded two times which is before and after jogging with a consistence protocol for all participants. The data in terms of frequency (Hertz) is converted into 15 colors of bio-energies representing the health level. The finding shows that 63.3% of participants’ health level improved after jogging. While 33.3% of participants had decrement in their health level. The results also indicate improvement in bio-energies score for five out of seven chakra points after jogging."

Each major chakra is connected to one major nerve plexus and one or more major endocrine gland.

By taking in vital energy and transforming that energy into the different frequencies, the energy from our environments is then distributed to the various areas of the physical bodies for sustenance and development.  The chakras not only take in energy, but they also radiate energy at a specific vibration and govern over  a particular organ or gland via a specific nerve plexus.  

These wheels of energy also affect our behavior and our attitudes towards life, and as such, ultimately manifest in our individual life experiences.  To have balanced chakras means to live healthier, happier, and to exist in a state in which you are more in tune with yourself.  

In this video, Dr. Deepak Chopra, at age 75, shares his wisdom. When asked how to navigate your mind out of the pitfall of negative emotions and responses to life's everyday hardships, Deepak Chopra responds: 

 "Ask yourself what are you grateful for, and observe and feelings or sensations you are feeling-you will snap out of it."

Ellen asks Deepak why yoga and not pushups for his choice as a physical fitness activity:

"Yoga has a specific effect on the vagus nerve, and right now the world is in sympathetic overdrive. "

Also in this video, Ellen asks Deepak why he looks so young despite his age of 75. Deepak Chopra responds that he doesn't just look young, but that according to biomarkers used in Functional Medicine such as telomerase and inflammatory markers, he is able to see that the physical and genetic composition of his body is that of a young human.
