The Be Happy in Health! series is a brief introduction to the mind, glands and hormones and how they relate to human psychology and health. A few simple techniques are introduced here. See the eBook for the full system. The Third CakraThe third cakra is called the Igneous Plexus. At the level of the navel, it controls the luminous factor (heat) of the body, and is itself controlled by the Supramental Mind. The luminous factor is associated with the sense of sight. We can't see in the dark – we need light to be able to make out different forms and colors. This plexus is the center of the body and the shelter of the body's heat and energy. It has such a high melting point that in places where they traditionally cremate dead bodies on wooden pyres, the nave can't be burnt by that normal fire and has to be thrown away! There are three main endocrine glands in this area: 1. The Adrenal Glands (one on top of each kidney) secrete adrenaline (epinephrine) and noradrenaline, the hormones which give the "fight, fright, flight" response in a stressful situation. 2. The Prostate Gland (and female counterpart/s – glands distributed in the navel area) secretes prostatic hormone and components of semen in men and sexual fluid in women. Normal secretion creates the feeling of shyness in the mind. Over-secretion causes melancholia and under-secretion causes a person to have a fearful or anxious nature. There's an asana called the Peacock which puts pressure directly on this area and corrects any hormone imbalance. It cures fear. 3. The Pancreas, apart from producing digestive hormones, secretes insulin and glucagon, the hormones needed for glucose metabolism.
Healthy Hints:Because this plexus controls the digestion, keeping the digestive tract clean and healthy by eating properly and avoiding constipation applies here. Also the body heat: as a general rule, "keep your back to the sun and front to the fire." Fire here means any form of heat other than the sun. A moderate amount of sun each day is important for a healthy body and mind. The sunbath, if done properly, is rejuvenating as well as therapeutic. There are other asanas which regulate the function of this plexus, such as the Wheel and the Boat (Bow).
