A little attempt to share condensed knowledge on ‘what we are made of physically and how to rejuvenate’ in few lines :)
As per Ayurveda whatever we eat and post digestion, the body carries its activities in a designated way to organs/tissues etc. i.e., it transforms to Seven Dhatus (elements) like a chain reaction. One element being the predecessor to the (trans)formation of next element with the help of metabolic fire at the each step. I guess this fire is similar to body temperature maintaining constantly and that’s why fever usually is an ‘after effect’ of some ‘causative’ imbalance in the inside system. Physical Body holistically is made of these 7 elements & derivatives only.
They are,
rasa (plasma or nutrient fluid; predominant element: water),—> transforms to Blood as below
rakta (blood or hemoglobin part of blood; predominant element: fire),-> helps to form muscle
māṃsa (muscular tissue; predominant element: earth),
meda or vasā (adipose or fat tissue; predominant element: earth),
asthi (bone tissues: tendons and ligaments; predominant elements: air, space),
majjā (bone marrow; predominant element: fire),
śukra (reproductive or generative tissues; predominant element: water).
The above steps are followed even from embryonic stage and now you can understand why we take some time for puberty. I strongly believe that the role of stem cells is in between these transformation stages which mostly scientists are working yet to discover.
Till here these are physical transformations inside, next comes the ‘subtle’ elements.
Once the shukra(reproductive sperm/liquid etc) element is reached, it transforms to ‘subtle’ elements of Ojas and Tejas along with Prana which are similar to Jing, Shen and Chi respectively. That’s why Jing or Ojas is always related to sexual energy because its formed immediately from sex energy and they in turn rejuvenate the above seven elements. These 3 subtle elements again rejuvenate the above 7 elements, so its 2-way collaboration.
Ojas, Tejas and Prana can be closely compared to
Ojas (Ghee/Oil),
Prana (Chi energy or oxygen).
Tejas (Fire or body heat, also called as the spiritual fire generated from tapas meaning penance and austerities, meditation, rituals, energy building fields etc.)
Hence,
JING + CHI + SHEN ===> LIGHT ===== >AURA .
Spiritually, now I believe why there is a deeper meaning (hidden symbolism) like this involved in offering lamps in many cultures across globe so that we can get the same essence from outside.
When they are balanced and rejuvenated daily, you can imagine how its useful at the physical level (healing) ,mental (clear blockages) or spiritual level (strengthen AURA). Thus these 3 subtle elements gives a person ‘strong charisma & magnetism’ eventually. Their effect is seen even at the cellular level because it’s a subtle energy.
Having said that, now the reality is we can get all the amazing benefits with zero cost listening to sapien audios - Internal alchemy series. how lucky we are! Feel so grateful, thanks dream.
Hope you guys find insightful, Thanks for reading :) lovely day :)
