BRAIN ACTIVATION
Q: Let me tell you my story. I had a really bad dyslexia problem which was so bad that I couldn’t even write my name. My mind was so garbled. I had a friend who was the absent- minded professor type. He started going to a Siddha Yoga group. Anyway, I could see the change in him. His word usage, memory and intellect just seem to get better. So I too started to chant. I chanted Govinda Jia Jia Go Pala Jia Jia. This chant burned the part of my brain that I had all of the problems in. I saw the blue light. Now my mind is super clear—-my memory, recall and retention is great. But the other part of the brain, like where you function in the present, like walking down a street, is still in the clouds. Its like the thinking part of the brain is clear but the real time part of the brain is still in the clouds. Can you help me?
Is there a chant that I can do to open that part of the brain? Thanks.
A: Well, your condition is not too bad. I always tell people I have my feet firmly planted on the ground and my head firmly planted in the clouds!
So, it seems that your left brain is fully operative, while the right brain hemisphere is dulled. To a degree this is normal, as the right hemisphere operates fully in the dream state at night and is only partially functioning in the daytime.
However, having said that I suggest utilising the Mantric Alphabet to revitalise all areas of the brain and body. That is, intoning the Sanskrit phonemes of the Alphabet in a nasalised fashion.
(If you are not familiar with this practice, you can find it on my Sound of Silence CD).
When my Guru, Dr. Ramamurti Mishra (who was also a brain surgeon) was involved in a car crash, suffering a blood-clot in the brain, he lost the power of speech as well as becoming paralysed down one side of the body. Knowing best what to do, he mentally chanted the Mantric Alphabet constantly, so that the neural connections were able to re-establish themselves between both hemispheres of the brain. And finally he was able to walk and speak again (to a degree) which shows the power of these sound-units.
I would also recommend chanting Gayatri Mantra (which is on the same CD) for clarity, and to supplement this with a course of natural vitamins, including selenium and magnesium.
