Human (mind) have ~50 tendency or emotions?
|
|
|
| Is it true ("yoga" people tell me that) that human (mind) have ~50 tendency
or emotions?
And that every tendency/emotion have one gland in human body?
One tendency/emotions have one gland which regulate it.
If yes, where can I find list of this tendency/emotions and appurtenant list
of glands?
Or, if you can explain this better if I misunderstand this!
Thanks.

Hi Md.
Yoga people might indicate the CHAKRAS for about human emotions...
So if you kindly check each chackra,,,you will get what you are
after...
But for list of glands appurtenant list of emotions, you should consult
with a neuro- physician...
In this world every subject has its master. But if Masters intervene
then nothing can be obtained...
With compassion,

| I think it is in chinese medicine that there is an asociaton of each
emotion with some body organs or parts. For instance, anger is supposed
to be stored in the Liver, fear in the kidneys and sadness in the
lungs. It its believed that by helping this organs function well, you
can also help your emotions.
There are a lot of resources in the net about Liver flushes or
cleanses. I haven't done it, but I am toying with the idea, people say
that onece you clear your live, you get rid of excesive anger and
transform that energy into creative force.
Hopes this helps
Peace

Hi,
here is one take on the vrittiis or tendencies,
http://dim.com/~ahm/matrix/SpSt/vrttis.htm
I do not think that every emotion has one gland, rather the emotions/
vrittiiis are linked to hormonal secretions of glands, some glands,
produce more than one hormone

Can you translate (what is) "vrittiis"?

Vrittis (a Sanskrit term literally meaning turns or twists, cf. Swedish
vrida, to turn) when spoken of in connection with the mind means, simply
put, states of mind. In yoga the mind is often likened to a pool of
water. Emotions, thoughts, external events that capture our attention,
all produce some activity of the mind. These activities are often seen
as whirls of the mindstuff, just like when you disturb the water in a
small pool, whirls are formed.
The similarities between mind and water doesn't end there: A body of
water that is frequently disturbed gets muddy and you can't see through
it to the bottom, so it gets impossible to know much about the pool, how
deep it really is, or what is on the bottom of the pool. When it is left
in peace for some time, the water gets still and clear, it gets
transparent and you can see through it to the bottom. It is the same
with the mind. When the mind is disturbed, when there are many vrittis
in the chitta (the mind-stuff, another Sanskrit word) it gets opaque,
you can't know it and you can't see what is on the bottom of your soul
because of the disturbed surface.
Yoga is the stilling of those chitta vrittis. It is not an easy task to
still the mind, and in yoga several methods have been devised for this
purpose through the milennia.
When you are in harmony with your fellow man through yamas, when you are
in harmony with your own body through niyama, asana and pranayama, when
you grow familiar with the workings of your mind through the several
stages of meditation (dharana, dhyana, samadhi), then you stand a better
chance of stilling your mind.
When, with the aid of yoga, you finally succeed in stilling your mind,
then, just like still water, your mind grows transparent and you can
perceive what is truly at the bottom your nature. This experience is
usually felt to be very important and spiritually significant.

Thanks. Then I hope you excuse me for butting into the discussion like I
did. I guess you might have said something along these lines as well, if
I'd given you the opportunity.
