Spinal Biomechanics
Basic Organ Structure & Function
The spine consists of 32-34 vertebrae of which three to five vertebrae are fused into one bone, the sacrum. Yogi Bhajan often counts them as 26, which considers the sacrum functionally as one and the tailbone (coccoyx) as one.
The spinal is divided into four regions of vertebrae:
7 cervical (neck)
12 thoracic (chest)
5 lumbar (lower back)
5 sacral (fused)
3-5 coccyx (This number varies among individuals)
page 136;
Yogic science says that there are specific lengths of time needed for certain desired effects during meditation. Most meditations are done for 11 or 31 minutes.
3 minutes of meditation affects the electromagnetic field, the circulation and stability of the blood.
11 minutes of meditation begins to change the nerves and the glandular system.
22 minutes of meditation balances the three minds, and they begin to work together.
31 minutes of meditation allows the glands, breath, and concentration to affect all the cells and rhythms of the body. It lets the psyche of the meditation affect the 3 gunas, all 31 tattvas, * and all layers of the mind's projections.
62 minutes changes the gray matter in the brain. The subconscious "shadow mind" and the outer projection are integrated.
2-1/2 hours changes the psyche in its co-relation with the surrounding magnetic field so that the subconsious mind is held firmly in the new pattern by the surrounding universal mind.
* The 5 tattvas we hear about are the 5 most dense, or gross elements.
