Yoga Wisdom –Your Mind Is More Than Your Brain
We can cut open our brain,we can examine all its parts and chambers,we can touch it,we can analyze its molecules. But we still cannot touch or see the mind.

If you want to know what my mind is like,you must communicate with me. Poking my brain won’t do much.

Microvita, Health & Ecology
There are certain persons who can cure diseases merely by touch. The science behind this is also the application of positive microvita. And the cause of the decomposition of anything overtime is negative microvita. When a person is attacked by negative microvita and certain symptoms are observed,it is called “ prognosis” and when the symptoms develop in the final stage of the disease,it is called “ diagnosis”.

The human body is one but the approaches of bringing it into ease (free from dis-ease) are manifold.
