Psychophysiology of Yoga Chakras with Serena Roney Dougal

Here she shares her understanding of the endocrine system and how the activity of our hormones correlates to the classical descriptions of yoga chakra influences. She notes that the pineal gland produces psychedelic molecules associated with telepathy by anthropologists studying ayahuasca use among Amazonian natives.

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in "parapsychology" ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980).

If all Serena said was her guidance about not eating chickens, it would have been enough... but she offers so many loving gifts here I cannot help but adore her loving kindness spirit and gratitude for her wisdom.

She has this vibe of loving wisdom that I wish all teachers had

(Just as a matter of interest) In the Bön tradition of Tibet the third eye is associated with the spacious (accommodation of the) mother ... syllable A ... the throat chakra is associated with consciousness itself (the lost child or son) and the Om syllable ... it is the union of the two, the mother with the lost child, that leads to bliss at the heart ... or the Hung syllable. For myself I look at it as the union of Parvati and Shiva, resultant of Ganesh, or bliss/ ananda ... In my own meditations I feel the heart is the boss (as it were) ... Namaste and thank you both for a super interesting chat, all the very best 🙏

+What fascinating conversation. Thank you 🙏

[dreamyogi]

I enjoyed this interview, especially the voice of support for animals! I found that portion to be very moving, since such knowledge has shaped my lifestyle choices, too. Thank you for the informative discussion! French geographer and anarchist Élisée Reclus suggested a link between accepting the slaughter of animals for consumption and people's capacity to slaughter fellow humans in war.

An excellent interview with an amazingly intelligent woman. The topic of Melatonin was particularly interesting for me as I take 3 mg of it fairly often as a sleep aid. I had no idea how it could potentially adversely affect my thyroid and then a cascade event from there. Is there a causal relationship between the DMT particles produced by the Pineal gland and vivid dreams? And by taking Melatonin supplements do they trigger DMT particles? Fascinating stuff!

[diannchemam]

Thank you both for this awesomely informative discussion.

[davidwise]

Interesting discussion. I hope a blessing can counteract some deleterious effects of certain foods.

[CyPsyGuy]

Would rather hear a yogi talk about chakras. I liked the earlier interviews with Debashish Banerji about the same topics, that you posted sometime ago.

[explorerelka]

A mind that has an experiential understanding.

you know what's crazy? I live in the tropics of Australia where a lot of psychoactive plants grow but nobody here is interested in it. People over here don't even know what ayahuasca is, still today.
Btw Ayahuasca contains 4 powerful antidepressants plus the dmt. MAIO antidepressants were very sucesfull but got replaced by SSRIs due to risks associated with mixing with wrong foods, alcohol etc.
