Mayur Asan/ मयूर आसन for Manipur Chakra/ मनिपुर चक्र, Fear of public speaking means our Manipur chakra is weak. Extreme fear causes pressure and tension on it. Our afferent and efferent nerves work during the condition of fear, tension of the nerves reaches brain so that excessive pressure does not occur. If information carried by efferent nerves is not allowed to reach the Manipur chakra from brain then imbalance can cause a blockage in the Anahat chakra. It may cause palpitation, pressure on heart, inability to think decisively and even heart attack.

In Vishudhi (विशुद्धि चक्र), thyroid and Parathyroid are more developed than lymphatic system (saves us from infection and keeps healthy fluid balance through our body). Earlier lymphatic system was more developed but now, thyroid and parathyroid are more developed, which are connected with psychic developments. And intellectual evolution. While lymphatic system is associated with more physical activity.

Hair grow near the lymphatic glands. When we remove hair from those places then lymphatic glands become more heated and give more secretions, this in turn lowers the secretions of thyroid and parathyroid. Both lymphatic and Thyroid-parthyroid are inversely connected. Hence joint hair should not be removed. from talks of Shri Shri Anandmurti........ Om!
