The working of our subtle system : Nabhi Chakra
Researchers have found that stressed people constantly secrete the stress hormone, cortisol, which leads to higher amounts of stomach acid, leading to ulcer formation and irritable bowel syndrome When we try to beat deadlines we become speedy
The spleen is the speedometer of the body and when we press the accelerator our spleen becomes hectic. It tries to meet the panic by throwing out blood cells but when the state of emergency becomes constant then it packs up.
This results in diabetes. Artificial hunger; causes obese; Those who don’t have money run after money, and those who have money also run after it. we must understand that after our needs are satisfied, a lot more money does not produce more happiness. In fact hankering after money agitates the nabhi chakra.
Want, want, want – consumerism creates an artificial demand in the nabhi and it goes into spasms. The hunger of the body can be satisfied by food but the hunger in the mind cannot be satisfied.
A child is happy with a new toy. But new is new only for a day. Soon he demands another thing. The law of physics states that wants in general cannot be satisfied. The stress of the nabhi upsets the digestive system, it creates indigestion. Therefore our task is to calm down our stressed Nabhi.
Sahaja yoga shows how to release the stress from our nabhi with the help of vibrations.
