Preksha Dhyana :
i.e., bio-chemical and electrical forces are transmuted, no change is possible (in the attitude and behaviour). Deeplevel consciousness integrate the bodily functions of the chemical force and the electrical force. In health, all the controlling forces are in harmony and equilibrium. Whenever the equilibrium is disturbed, illness follows. Our body is subjected to continual changes in the conditions of the external environment--light-darkness, heat-cold, humiditydryness. Our internal conditions must also continually change to cope up with the external changes. In fact, homeostasis i.e. maximum health condition is not a static condition, but a dynamic equilibrium, a matter of continual adjustment for maintenance of equilibrium between the organisation and the environment. Thus no body can remain unchanged during 24 hours, either physically or mentally.
There are innumerable different chemicals cempounds in our body. A nail or a hair contains a hundred different chemical compounds and there are differences from one person to another. Our sensations, movements, thoughts, and speech-virtually everything that goes on in our body -is partly chemical and partly electromagnetic. One can never, therefore, hope to acquaint oneself with all different factors in a few exercise of perceptual meditation. Regular and continued practice alone can result in knowing and being aware of the internal forces of the body. The practitioner should constantly watch his progress and development in this regard, i.e. how the capacity for perceiving subtle chemical reactions is enhanced by each exercise and how much is he able to evaluate them.
The second important body-force is electro-magnetic 1. Dr. F. K. Bellokossy of Denver Colorado describes life as an
'infinitely intelligent interaction of electromagnetic energies carried
by chemical substances.' 2. Each group of cells vibrates with a frequency characteristically its
own. During disease this frequency is altered. Therapy helps the
cells to regain their natural frequency and affect the cure. 3. The number of different kinds of proteins alone within the human
body is not less than 1,00,000.
