The 25th episode is a milestone of sorts!  But 60 now seems insufficient... However, we will bring this conversation to a certain level of completion, for sure...  I am urged to highlight the lessons learned so far in this conversation because they are very foundational and vital to our practice.

I cannot sit in any aasan for long, what can I do?  Affirmations, do they work?  If yes, how and what is the science behind that?  The approach to yoga seems to be very different in this podcast.  Why is that?

So, what does Yogic or Vedic science say about our health? How does the body function, as per this ancient science? Why is modern science not talking about it? Is there a magic potion or miracle herb that one can eat and regain health?  

I have received feedback from a few that this conversation has gotten too serious and quite over-the-top and too quickly so.  So, I thought I should address it with everyone else as well...

I am an agnostic (non-believer) and don't follow any theology. How can I practice ZAZEN?  Why should one aspire to be in a no-mind state?  Is there any real (practical) use for it? 

The cervical lock is a very significant discovery of mine and has a bundle of health benefits too!  In this episode, I introduce 2 more (one minor but vital and one major) elements to our ZAZEN practice. 

Let us conclude the conversation about the human spine with 2 examples of how your power is delivered by none other than the spine.  Your kicks and punches get their power only from this powerhouse!  

In episode 17 I shared with you a bombastic discovery of mine, that you are your SPINE! In episode 18, I am sharing one more such discovery and this will ease you into your first ZAZEN experience.

Let's talk about some practical stuff.  Something that you can apply to my life right away! So... which is the most important part of your body?

Of what use is it to me to learn about yugas?  How does it help me understand my current life? Which yog should I practice if I am already in my advanced age of life or in ill health?
