the advance of science, we know that it is only a repository of memories. The neuro-endocrine system is the seat of the impulses of man.
Neuro-endocrine system has profound influence on emotions, mental states and behavioural patterns of an individual.
It is now proved beyond doubt that certain types of criminals are unquestionably victims of unbalance of neuroseceretory conditions. It has been known for many years that emotional stimuli produce dramatic changes in endocrine glands in human beings. Converesely stimulation or inhibition of the endocrine activity produces unprecedented transformations in the emotional conditions. Addiction to alcohol, drugs, smoking and many other dangerous habits can be cured by bringing about changes in the endocrine output. Preksha of various glands of endocrine system--called 'ChaitanyaKendra' could initiate the change in the secretion of hormones, parahormones, and neuro-hormones which would alter the blood chemistry, ultimately enabling one to subjugate such dangerous habits. Thus the conscious mind, initially trained to perceive subtle biological phenomena, would be able to exercise control over impulses and emotional states, which otherwise might have been formidable monsters like Frankenstine.
A vast variety of gross and subtle vibratory motions are constantly taking place in our body. They range from the gross organic movements and sound waves produced by the larynx to subtle mental vibrations.
The wave-length, frequency, amplitude and such other parametres of these vibrations can be increased or decreased by changing the frequency and depth of breathing. By suitable contemplation and auto-analysis counter-vibrations could be produced to reduce and even nullify the evil effects of the vibrations produced by passions and impulses. Production of counter-vibrations as well as total cessation of activities producing harmful vibrations, are efficiently used in the system of Preksha Meditation.
