So sad cruel. What? In your
What causes mental disorders, and how might food and chemical exposure contribute?
View is the fundamental cause of mental disorders.
Uh if you're asking for one cause,
Well there could be many.
It's a very big part of mental illness. The way we're ingesting chemicals and hormones today unconsciously at various levels is a serious part of mental illnesses of this generation. How we ingest, how we take food in. Ah, this may sound little far fetched for UK, but please listen to me carefully. Ви We look at life there like this. You are who you are as a person. You are who you are because of the parentage that you had, the schools that you went to, the education that you had, now the exposure that you have in your life. That's why you have become this kind of a person, isn't it? It's all many, many things receiving. So all the times you're receiving. What you're receiving is not just information and thought.
Life receives in so many levels. On the energetic level it receives.
How does the yogic idea of receiving influence mental and physical well-being?
So in India we see that anywhere if you want to receive something, first thing is you cross your legs, all right? Right now I'm sitting that way, it may not be visible to you. But uh first thing is cross your legs because we don't want to receive from the lower part of our body. We want to receive anything positive means we want to receive from the upper part of our body. So if you go to some place where we think it's energetically strong, first thing is we cross our legs and keep our hands open. You know, in the yogic physiology, it's like this. There are uh one hundred and uh twelve chakras, one hundred and fourteen, but actually one hundred and twelve within the s human system. Out of these one hundred and twelve, there are seven categories of them, sixteen in each one of them.
These seven are generally known in the world today as chakras. So the first three are survival processes. And the in-between one is uh representing a meeting of this. It is from here on, from Anahatha onwards, which is enlightening processes of life. So in that sense, it is important you receive certain things in uh certain ways. Food is considered very basic level of reception. How we receive food, what we receive is very important. Today what are we receiving? Right now, as you see societies get more and more affluent, they start eating worse and worse food.
How can food freshness and the yogic gunas affect cognition?
What a rural person in India would not touch, very sophisticated cities are eating that kind of food. When I say that kind of food, almost anything that Western societies are using today are a minimum thirty to sixty days old. In yoga, their food is classified as sattva, rajas and tamas. Tamas means inertia. If you eat anything which has thumas, inertia will come in your system. Inertia does not mean you just become lazy. Inertia means certain things slow down. Certain things means essentially regeneration of the system slows down. Today you know that r neural uh neuronal regeneration is one of the most important aspects of creep keeping your brain reasonably functionable functional throughout your life.
If you're consuming foods which are Thomasik or causes inertia in the general function of your system, in the energetic process of who you are. then you will see cognition levels slowly will go down over a period of time. Because everybody understands this, this is why they're drinking cups and cups of uh Coca-Cola or coffee or alcohol or something else, because they know they need to balance that. So this kind of balance, uh, is a very rudimentary way of balancing your system, that you're putting wrong things and then you're trying to correct it with right things. The highest number of uh antacids in the world, nearly sixty percent of the world's antacids are so sold in America.
