"Nowadays,I can't sleep properly,"he said .
"Even Elon having that problem and ended up with Zolpidem and strange tweets,so not a big problem I guess,"I teased while lifting the dumbbells. "I searched on the net and found an article regarding activating your chakras for a peaceful sleep.There's a wheel in our body ?"he questioned.
"It's not that vehicle's wheel bro.Chakra is simply an energy point in the subtle body, which is like your energetic body that holds your soul.Chinese address it as chi and and Japanese label it as ki. The closest equivalent of them in yoga and Ayurvedic medicine of India is prana.They all almost the same thing,"I explained.
"You can increase and develop your chi to overcome illness, become more vibrant and enhance mental capacity. Maybe it's helpful for a good sleep as well,"I continued.
"How to do that?"he asked.
"I'm not very sure,but a proper meditation might help I guess,"I said with a smile.
"Meditation is too general bro,"he sighed while lifting the bar.
"If you see it deeply,what they meant by chakra is actually a part of the body that you can see with your eyes."
"Really,I thought it's a sceptical theory ?"he was curious.
"During our first year,we learnt that there are 12 pairs of cranial nerves.Those are nerves that origin from our head .They don't pass into our lower body except one,which is the vagus, the tenth cranial nerve.My sir used to said that,vagus nerve is the only nerve that goes from head to the body,and the longest as well."
"Interesting,"he exclaimed.
"It is bro.That nerve covers almost all part of the body.It affect your voice,heart,stomach,gut,genital almost the whole body.When you meditate,it did something to that nerve.That's how spiritual and medicine are connected,"I explained.
"Here,I realized a difference."
"What's that?"
"Many are suffering from depression,gastritis and sleeping problem.In Malaysia it's not as severe as Bangladesh.We seldom use omeprazole nor ranitidine unless we're having gastric problem.People there don't even aware of such medication.Here,even roadside shops selling seclo and people just pop that med like a candy." "Why?Because we don't meditate?"he asked with a naive tone. .
"Haha,not like that.I felt,it's because of the sound pollution.Honking is rare back there while here, it's part of our daily life.There,if you honk unnecessarily,you will ended up with a road rage fight while here,it prevent someone from getting killed by a lorry. Sound has a profound effect on the way we feel, often in a predictable way."
"How?"
"Sound travels through the inner ear as vibrational energy until it reaches the cells of Corti,a receptor organ deep in the ear where it becomes an electrical nerve message that travels from these cells along the 8th cranial nerve to the cortex of the brain for final interpretation of the sound.
In fact, the ear has been called “the Rome of the body” as in “All roads lead to Rome” because of the fact that almost all cranial nerves lead to ear, including the vagus nerve.
“ Hearing has substantial effects on the rest of the body, due to its contact with the vagus nerve.Sound pollution increase stomach acid and cortisol,the stress hormone level in rats.It might does the same to us."
"It is believed that once sound energy reach the brain, they get distributed throughout the body through the vagus nerve."
"You mean that is why we become sleepy listening to a lullaby but not with a pop music?"
"I guess so.They call it Tomatis sound therapy and this method has positive effects in children with ADD."
"Where can I find such sounds?"he asked.
"Youtube and it's free."
