The Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS) induces multiple biological rhythms—which can be perceived as Tides—simultaneously.
The first and most clearly observable among these biological tides is the Primary Respiration (PR), which pervades throughout all fluid structures of the living body. Even bones contain within them a fluid component and can be perceived as fluid, albeit viscous, structures.
The second tide is the production and circulation of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) in the centre of the brain. This tide naturally reveals its rhythm to the seasoned meditator, and gradually guides awareness into more subtle and centralised neurological structures.
In days before human anatomical dissection and biopsy were possible, movements perceived throughout the midline of the body were described by Rishis as Chakras, or energetic wheels that spin with greater or lesser degrees of freedom in accordance with the amount of “enlightenment” or absence of constriction experienced by the meditator.
Modern neuroscience appears to have been developed independently of ancient experiential research, and through systematic invasive and frequently fatal experiments, has identified and mapped specific structures within the brain and spinal cord with unique functions.
Chakras that Rishis perceived can now be correlated with anatomical structures identifiable and testable with modern imaging techniques and scientific analysis.
All life, in fact all existence, is progressing toward greater degrees of complexity, all the time. We are in no position to deny the magnificence of cultures, civilisations and individuals who walked this planet before us and left us with clues, buildings and manuscripts that continue to inspire and instruct generations of humans today, but there is equally no reason to disregard the findings of our own modern scientific practices.
Rishis might have been observing energetic rhythms, Chinese doctors utilised the potency of Meridians to balance a nervous system, and allopathic medicine seeks to reduce biological structures to specific functions. As masters and practitioners of Holistic Healing techniques, it is our privilege to harness all available research, sensitivities and insights, to create a complete integrative and targeted therapeutic offering.
To anybody facing a crossroads in injury treatment, whether to choose traditional therapies or to engage in allopathic remedies, I would suggest to use both. We are in an age where allopathic practices can accelerate our journey through Intensive Care, and we are globally connected enough to engage the interaction of insightful, sensitive, and empathetic healers.
Allopathic medicine will get you off the battlefield, but Niskala Healing will complete your recovery process, and reveal to you the lessons you have been shown along the journey.
Niskala Healing grew from traditional Hindu interactions, and is focussed in line with cutting edge Neuroscience.
