What scientists found that neurons were actually observing the traits of breathing and reporting it back to a control center to act accordingly. In yoga the chakras are also disrupted through external negativity and thus a body’s natural state of calm is disrupted and tension or stress sets in. Each chakra is connected and meditation channels positivity upwards to the ultimate chakra in the brain which fills a person with the sense of calmness and well being. On a deeper note, the ultimate chakra in the pineal gland region is the area through which a true yoga master reaches a superior heightened sense of consciousness.
That is what yoga has been doing all these years; the problem with science is that it needs a definite model where only physical observation and calculus can prove something to be right even if they know it exists. Isn’t it safe to say that what spiritualism has been teaching us all these years whether western or eastern is also science unproved? And what existed centuries ago is finally being proved because scientists can now see it. Boys…You need to feel too!!! And on a deeper note consider this, rocket science, the theory of relativity, quantum physics isn’t new, there are no mysteries to the universe, everything always existed, it is man’s mind that is developing slowly to figure out the answers now. But all the same yes deep breathing calms the mind.
