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. There are three main aspects to human existence: body, mind and soul (physical, psychic and spiritual). The soul is the overall controller of the mind and body, but doesn't actually do anything. In yogic philosophy it's referred to as the "Witnessing Entity." The mind expresses itself through the body. It has its headquarters in the brain, but works through a number of "branches" – psychic energy centers called cakras (pronounced "chakra"). Just as the mind is stationed in the brain, the cakras are stationed with the glands, at different points in the body. There are seven main cakras, each associated with seven endocrine glands or gland complexes. Their locations:
The body is composed of the same five fundamental factors as the rest of the universe. Every factor is distributed throughout the body, but is controlled by one of the lower five cakras. Depending on the message from the mind, the cakra tells the endocrine glands around it to secrete the hormones that control the body metabolism and influence the way we feel. The First CakraThe first cakra, at the base of the spine, is known as the Terranean Plexus. It's controlled by the Crude (Conscious) Mind, and in turn controls the solid factor of the body: bones, flesh, etc. It forms the base of the body and gives stability to the structure. It controls the hormones that are excreted outside the body (in sweat, urine, semen and stool). The solid factor has traditionally been represented by earth (the word "terranean" means land, or earth) and is associated with the sense of smell, since it's the solid particles in the air that the olfactory organ in the nose actually senses.
Healthy Hints:The earth gives us our food, and that food goes towards building up and maintaining the body. So care of the body at this level involves care of our diet. The best food is what in yoga is called sentient, meaning "conscious, aware." It's not only good for the body, but also for the mind. And because it's vegetarian it's good for animals too! Sentient food includes vegetables (except onions, garlic and mushrooms), fruits, legumes (beans), grains (wheat, rice, etc.), nuts and seeds, milk and milk products (cheese, yogurt, cream, etc.) and condiments (salt, sugar, honey, herbs and spices). This is more than enough for a nutritionally balanced diet. Prepare food in a relaxed mood, and eat slowly with a calm and positive mind. Eat only when hungry. You should have a keen appetite, otherwise your health will suffer. When you're ready to eat, air will naturally start flowing through your right nostril – this happens when the digestive system is active. Don't overeat. "If in doubt about eating, don't eat;
Don't mix too many types of food at the same time, and allow sufficient time between meals so the food will digest properly. If you eat early in the evening you will get better sleep because your body won't be still digesting the food as you sleep. Avoid constipation at all costs. If you're not clearing the bowels at least daily then your health will suffer and you won't feel mentally at ease. Meat and refined carbohydrates such as white rice, bread and pasta are among the biggest constipators, as well as lack of exercise and not drinking enough water. Regular fasting is very beneficial to the health. It cleans the digestive system and gives the organs a chance to rest. It also increases willpower, elevates the mind, and prevents and cures many diseases.
