[@drsweta.adatia]

The best way to sleep and wake up. Wake up is never go from delta to beta. Alarms are a bad choice. You need to capture the theta time both early and late night going to sleep. Make it a slow routine to wake up and sleep. This time you can make magic with your brain. Teach children also to do so. More on the channel here www.youtube.com/@drsweta.adatia

I chant "Ram Krishna Hari " , I had practice it atleat lakhs of times , Now even if I am Silent Or talking with other person, the chanting goes in my sub conscious mind.

Yes it does. Please see the evidence in my talk on chanting as a prescription in the play list at www.youtube.com/@drsweta.adatia

Very true congratulations Dr Sweta you are so intellectual you are spiritual energy today God bless you

India in real sense is a vishwaguru. What indians have done in human wellbeing is phenomenal, we need to embrace this technologies, and make it part of school curriculum, so that we make your country fully peaceful and prosperous, where we are looking after one another, and each one is thinking about everyone else's wellbeing.

[@drsweta.adatia]

This is well said. India is the seat of such traditions. We have to inculcate to our young kids

Yes! And I'm not even in primary school anymore but I would love to learn like how can I learn these chants they're saying

What a fab idea that is. Yes ! I wish that some of the policy makers are listening to this idea. Chanting , breathing and yoga at a young age is must

Lucky you, to do it with your Parents at their age. That must have been Profound experience..

[@bidishaghosh1551]

Just awesome explanation mam!why these kind of teaching is not included with our school curriculum? Our ancient education system was too powerful..

[@sugarfree1894]

I started chanting the Green Tara mantra a little over 11 years ago. It has been so powerful in terms of change and healing that I see my life (59 years old) as 'before chanting' and 'since chanting'. I still chant it every day. Extraordinary experience! In the first few weeks of daily chanting I could literally feel my prefrontal cortex pumping at the front of my head. My executive function, strategic capacity and sense of self control increased very quickly indeed.

[@princessalis2112]

Did u have palm leaf reading with green tara too?

[@harmonyhelps1714]

Interested!

Do you chant at specific sessions thru the day or mentally chant throughout the day? (thx)

[@drjayantpdeshpande5820]

Dr Shweta Aditia tried and explained very nicely on scientific basis. But slides were not readable. I will like to attend her course if she has a course in Mumbai. An interesting subject explained scientifically. Great.

[@melissamarie369]

Thank you so much Dr. Adatia! My manager taught me the power of OM when I used to work at a little gas station. I shared with him Sacred Geometry, and he stated "I learned sacred geometry when I was eight years old". So grateful for the teachings! I am now a CPRS working in a community mental health center, and I shared your information with my fellow colleagues. These teaching are so simple to engage with, and have such a powerful effect on the lives of people living with mental health and substance use disorders. Much Gratitude for this presentation! Your are affecting many lives here in the United States, including my own. OM 🕉🙏

wonderful. Am so happy to be of help. www.youtube.com/@drsweta.adatia more on this

[@poccodroid9464]

I m a doctor. Practised for three decade as ICU registrar, i m needed to say this because ordinarily my mind dosenot accept things that has no scientific base. I had a time with Docter Bhimani, for personal hypnotism for suggetions, but he flately admmited that i will not get hypnotised. Well With your suggestion while being at 1.09.57 i did simultaneous experiment and noticed that while my left third finger was apperantly taller by say may be quarter of mm, then seemed shorter a bit. I kept on thinking that my rt finger is greater while i kept approximating both the palm and fingers but parted and approximated third fingers only. This was wonderful and for the first time over my age of 63 yrs now.

Namaste, this is what I was seeking since last few months, and the video just popped up. Directly or indirectly, it has helped my thought process, or it will, in near future. Big thanks to Dr. Sweta for sharing your knowledge. I've always been intrigued with CIF, first encounter being 'Upanishad Ganga' around a decade ago. I'm an IT professional, working with Microsoft. Also, persuing my masters in YogShastra. I would like to blend AI and Neuroscience in yogic practices, which can give concrete results, before the west world lables it as their own research. I'm hoping to get some sort guidance from divine minds of CIF. Pls respond to this comment if its possible, and a way to connect virtually or physically. Dhanyawad 😇

[@oceaneiika]

Thank you doctor. Wonderful session. I would chant Gayatri Mantra during my pregnancy. My daughter had a natural inclination towards the mantra and she started chanting it regularly since young age without anyone guiding or teaching her.....Wonderful.....

[@RitikaMasurekar-cp8se]

Thank you so much Dr Shweta… many thanks and grateful ❤️🥰😇

[@UJJWAL11000]

The Gayatri Mantra has been for a long time with me." Therefore, as a doctor, you are possibly accepting the concept of rebirth, believing that in the past life, you used to chant Gayatri Mantra fervently.The residual memory from the past life let you - while you were a very small kid- articulate its verses.

[@amyroberts9603]

Beautiful ❤

[@jignesh63]

Past life?? How stupid idea is this

Listening waves sound as well. Thanks to our Maharishi

[@vaishkulk303]

Amazing information that is completely proven as a scientific research…. What our gurus, rishis and vedas have left us a great heritage….. really impressive, feeling worth and getting more shraddha to do meditation, yoga and pranayam… certainly doable.

Hi madam! Your presentation teaches us a lot . Thanks for sharing your experience. Does this method works for the kids who stutters while speaking? Kindly let me know some time speaking fluency is good, sometime its hard to talk. Lot of repeating words, sometime I can see facial changes. Do I need to check any neuro related test / diagnosis too

You are simply amazing Dr. Sweta, I always so keen to decode the science behind meditation and chanting, and by this video came to know that a neuro scientist is so passionate to research on this subject and create authentic evidences... simply blown away by your knowledge and how you simplify for laymen person like me to understand. If possible, please redo this lecture with proper camera and mic, so that we can really understand and see the results of your research work. Million thanks and blessings to you Dr. SWETA 🙏🏽

This was a wonderfull session. Really needed. Thank you doctor for this amazing information. ❤

[@heliyindia]

The mic operator and the camera man should do a minimum of half an hour OM chanting before starting their work.😂. For a first timer it is very dificult to follow the lecture because when the board should be focused, the cam man is focussing on the speakers face. When he focuses on the board, the pointer is not visible. Actually we don't have to SEE the voice. We need to see the board. Should take notice of these huge drawbacks. Wonderful session otherwise!!no issues with the content.❤

[@ChinfoChannel]

Apologies for not being able to share the presentation and author on one screen & some audio drops, we will try to avoid this in future sessions. Thank You very much for connecting us..

[@Rebelheart06]

Lol..I agree..Vital visuals lost their potency due to poor camera manipulation..

[@ull893]

Camera man needs more OM chanting. Otherwise excellent content. Only gratitude that this video is available for the public to view❤️🙏

[@azharam2870]

[@user-gz5ss4ff4l]

40:00 This study was done on Om Swami ji. Those scans were published in journal with article titled - An EEG based Quantitative Analysis of Absorbed Meditative State. Basically he demonstrated complete control on His Kundalini (as He is a siddha). He even controlled his heart rate, even stopped it but it was outside the purview of this study, hence not published in final paper I guess. You can find more details in his video available on YT titled 'Powerful effect of Kundalini awakening - Om Swami'

Most enlightening concepts 1) the mind extends beyond the brain and is present throughout the body, 2) the local mind is responsible for generating thoughts and emotions and the non-local mind (better known as #consciousness ) runs the autonomous nervous system. Chanting, Mindfulness, and 36:33 Gamma Meditation heal the mind and the body.

Wonderful insights. Lot of merit go to you Dr Sweta for this special talk.

[@KrishnadasBharatikb]

Excellent exposition for those who demand scientific proof of the relevance of mantra chanting. Most of us follow blindly and when questioned about 'blind illogical beliefs' give in to to it slowly tapering off the practices over time, as we were not empowered with the science behind it. While this is the state of most of the Brahmins who 'fell by the wayside' might feel it easy to scuttle back and join the group to resume their path, firmly under the conviction of the path that seems better.

Extra ordinary session. All those seeking experimental (scientific!) proof of study of consciousness can now certainly relate much better - as it is explained in their language. Only suggestion to the person handling the camera - it would have been more effective if the screens were shown more often when the presenter was explaining some interesting findings instead of focusing on her. 🙏
