Think of the brain as a receiver that can download information not only from and through the senses, mind and body but also from the environment. In a sense it receives ‘inspiration’!
Let’s examine the word ‘inspiration’ to start with.
Thesaurus describes it as an ‘idea:, ‘stimulus’. Cambridge dictionary calls it ‘someone or something that gives you ideas for doing something’, a ‘sudden good idea’.
Merriam-Webster says, ‘This moving little word may be traced back to the Latin inspirare (“to breathe or blow into”), which itself is from the word spirare, meaning “to breathe.” It didn’t take long to establish itself in a figurative sense, as our earliest written English uses of inspire give it the meaning “to influence, move, or guide (as to speech or action) through divine or supernatural agency or power.” Many of the early figurative senses of inspire are religious in nature, so it is not surprising to learn that the word shares a connection with spirit (which comes from the Latin word for “breath,” spiritus, which is also from spirare).”
Notice how intimately the word is connected with breath and spirit.
Those who have trained themselves to watch their breath and its path, usually report how the breath that enters through the nostrils moves upwards towards the brain and then turns downward to go towards the throat, lungs and even lower down to the base chakra or muladhara!
In meditation, especially for those who are reasonably accustomed to the practice, a practitioner might notice how relaxed and at ease the system, the body is. This being relaxed is essential.
In this state, a lot of stress and tension is released and the breath becomes easier, smoother, lighter.
The release of stress may be experienced throughout the body and mind and especially in the belly region.
As this happens, the flow of breath towards the brain becomes more even and smooth. The easing experienced, indicates that emotions which are closely linked to the mind are relatively calm and that means they are not consuming the prana Shakti or life force to the same extent as otherwise. That indicates that more prana Shakti is moving towards the brain.
Certain practices, including SWA-TANTRA KRIYA, help practitioners map their inner energy system, understand and experience three channels of breath and access parts of their anatomy that almost none can normally do. This allows greater flow of prana Shakti throughout the system. When Hanuman Master Breath and lotus opening techniques are employed along with other esoteric practices, not only greater prana Shakti is experienced but much of it is channelled up the sushumna in the spine, all the way up to the brain and sahasrara
Along the way the greater flow of prana passes through various levels of consciousness in the chakras and helps activate them and cleanse them.
As this powerful and greater flow of prana Shakti moves up, becoming meditative and going deep into meditation becomes easier and more regular.
The powerful prana begins to act quickly on the brain helping it to both create new neural pathways and connections and also to rewire it in ways that makes it better equipped to function better…
To state it simply, regular meditation especially with powerful and effective breathwork techniques like SWA-TANTRA KRIYA helps the brain both rejuvenate and rewire it in ways that make it much more powerful.
A rejuvenated and rewired brain gains immense clarity and it can download much more information and ideas, thus making it many times more creative and capable of finding extraordinary breakthroughs in one’s fields of interest…
