ABSTRACT
Meditation is a technique of achieving harmony between the
physical, mental, intellectual and spiritual personalities of
man. The technique of meditation where a flow of thoughts is
encouraged thus using mind in a natural way. Meditation has
number of positive effect on the physiology of human body.
The aims of this study to observe the effect of meditation on
eye center and throat center (Chakra) Energy and the
hemodynamic parameters (blood pressure, blood oxygen
content, and body temperature). Data was collected from 26
Meditators from a meditation centre for 9 days and the results
are tabulated and analysed before and after meditation to
study the effect of meditation on these parameters. This study
will help in proving the positive impact of mediation on life
and increase consciousness through chakra energy.

1. INTRODUCTION
There are three level of consciousness, namely, physical
consciousness, mental consciousness and highest level of
consciousness (Spiritual consciousness). The brain
consciousness is related to physical consciousness and it
simply shows the reflections of mind consciousness where the
reflection of spiritual consciousness appears. Since ancient
age Conscious would be controlled or improved by meditation
(Yoga). There are mainly three types of Yogas eg. i. Yoga for
betterment of physical consciousness such as different
Yogaasans or Mudras; ii. Yoga for better of mind or mental
consciousness such as concentrative Yoga; iii. Yoga for
spiritual consciousness such as spirit-sound yoga. The linkage
between mind and body widely accepted in ancient time
which is now scientifically proven. Theere are number of
scientific studies have undoubtedly proved that physio-
cosmetic diseases are increasing such heart problems, stress in
life (i.e. wariness, depressions, tensions) and physio-cosmatic
reactions like asthma, insomnia, and even heart attacks. In
addition, the physical inactivity, stress and behavioral
patterns, hormones and an untreated menopausal problems are
the risk factor for coronary artery diseases. The human body
is so harmoniously arranged that if even any minutest part of
it were hurt a little, the whole system become disturbed.
Meditation is one of the effective tools for prevention as well
as management of stress. Meditation is the science and
harmonizing spiritual mental and physical energy through
connection with the ultimate source of spiritual energy called
the supreme soul. The fundamental axiom of macrocosmic/
microcosmic system of spiritual consciousness is that the
origin of the macrocosm is attributable to an infinite spiritual
energy source [1]. It is the state of Spirit consciousness and
positive life style. It involves concentration but no physical
object is involved [2]. The object of concentration is the inner
self. The positive flow of thoughts is based on an accurate
understanding of the self and so it acts as a key to unlock the
treasure trove of peaceful experiences which are lying within
oneself. A man comes to experience peace within himself
through meditation.
Relaxation is one of the ways to control undesirable nervous
tension and it requires to be learnt through meditation which
is directly related to awareness. It can be shown by awareness
hierarchy [3]. The figure 1 explains awareness of different
levels including Physical awareness (Breath, Senses, etc.),
Mental Awareness (Internal thoughts and activities), Spiritual
awareness (consciousness currents). This paper deals with the
effect of meditation on chakra energy (specially the eye center
and throat center). Also it shows the positive effect on blood
pressure and other blood related parameters.

2. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
This study was contemplated to observe the effect of
meditation on Chakra energy and hemodynamic body
parameters such as blood pressure, blood oxygen level,
temperature, etc.. By adopting these non-pharmacological and
easy techniques in one’s life style, people can lead a healthier
life.
3. METHODOLOGY
This study was conducted on 26 healthy people between age
of 40-70 years who were selected from meditation centre,
were performing meditation regularly for at least 60 minutes
of a day before and after meditation. Subjects having a history
of hypertension, jaundice, alcoholism, and smoking were not
included in the study. The heart rate was counted with the

stethoscope being kept over the apex for one full minute. The
systolic and diastolic blood pressure, oxygen level,
temperature was checked respectively by a standard
sphygmomanometer , pulse oximeter, thermometer.
The self made Sensor (shown in Fig. 2 -3) have been
designed to measures the energy level of human at different
energy centres (Chakras) of the human body which is directly
related to the consciousness level of a person [2]. The probe
was placed at the throat and third eye energy centres.

4. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP OF
ENERGY MEASURING DEVICE
The Sensor shown in Fig 3 is used to measure the Energy
Level at different energy centers of the body, which is
developed in Dept of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of
Engineering, D.E.I. Dayalbagh, Agra, India. This sensor
contains a copper electrode that applied to the energy centre
and a reference terminal, which is applied to left palm of a
body. A few microampere current flows from energy centers
to palm through different channels, which indicates the
Chakra energy of a person. It is mentioned in the literature
that Chakra Energy is directly related to consciousness [2].
Sensor is connected to computer via DAQ card and LabVIEW
has been used as software tool to measure consciousness level
of a person. The Sensor has been connected to NI 6216 DAQ
card which converts analog signals to digital signals (ADC)
and this card is further connected to computer via USB. NI
MAX (National Instrumentation- Measurement and
Automation Explorer) has been used. This Device is also
called Meridian Energy Analysis Devices (MEAD). In
Taiwan more than 80% hospitals uses MEAD system for
diagnosis of different diseases.
5. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
The above mentioned quantities (BP, Heart Rate,
Temperature, Oxygen Level, Throat and Eye center energies)
are measured before meditation. Then meditation is performed
for one hour and the measurements are repeated. The mean
value of heart rate of different candidates before meditation
was 79.55 and after meditation 71.42. The mean value for
systolic and diastolic blood pressure before meditation were
131.36 and 85.35 and after meditation 120.59 and 77.35.
Similarly, oxygen level and temperature in the meditators
before meditation were 95.84 and 34.45 and after meditation
94.50 and 34.92 respectively. The Chakra Energy level is
measured at the throat centre and the centre of the line
between the two eyes of Human using DEI Meridian Analysis
System (DEI-MAS).The mean value for energy level at throat
and eye centre before meditation was 49.49 and 67.86 and
after meditation 56.70 and 77.65. The difference was also
highly significant. The results are tabulated in Table 1 to 8.
The results clearly show that the BP, Heart rate, temperature,
oxygen level and chakra energies are changed by meditation
as shown in Fig. 5-11. Person feel relaxed after meditation as
physiological parameters indicates like heart rate, BP, body
temperature, oxygen level in blood reduced after meditation.
On the other hand, the eye center and throat center (chakra)
energy increased after meditation.

Different studies stated that benefit of meditation, by
modifying the state of anxiety, reduces the stress induced
sympathetic overactivity resulting in lowering the blood

6. CONCLUSION
From the above result it is concluded that the meditation
increases eye center and throat center (chakra) energy, which
increases consciousness in the body. The study conducted
here, proves that chakra energy does not depend on hemo-
dynamic parameters. Although, Mediation has positive Effect
on hemo-dynamic parameters of the body like the cardio
vascular System and is used as non Phrmacological Method to
Prevent Heart Diseases. The decrease the Mean Heart Rate
and regulates the Systolic Blood Pressure, Diastolic Blood
Pressure in the Meditators due to activation of
parasymphythetic state and it indicated that they have lower
risk of developing the Cardiovascular Diseases. Meditation
help to built up physical resistance, emotional harmony, and
balance in life through eradiction of root cause in mind. It
reduces tensions and help inflowing positive energy in the
body by stilling the brain.

... Gayatri Mantra, also known as Savitri Mantra, is a highly respected mantra of Rig Veda dedicated to the sun god Savitr. Gayatri is the name of the Vedic meter in which the poem is composed [49][50][51]. Vishwa Mitra Mantra is said to have founded or written Gayatri. Mantra Gayatri is an unimaginable spiritual armor, a true fortress that protects and protects voting, turns him into God, and blesses him with the best spiritual light and spiritual awakening. ...

There has been a great interest of researchers in Vedic knowledge using the symbol of OM, and this word Om is considered to be the beginning and end of the past and future. Mr. Slogan's motive is a subtle understanding of the human body, mind, and the world of reality. Emotions, Thoughts and Beliefs in our lives are important characteristics. In accordance with the Indian philosophy, OM which is a spiritual symbol is also called Atman Brahman (reality, God, supreme soul, truth, cosmic principles, world, and knowledge). The research is a symbol of Global OM. The main aim of this research was to calculate the effects of Gayatri Mantra and Ohm readings on human health. The Gayatri Mantra is a very potential mantra mentioned in Rigveda. This research was performed on some patients (male = 4) and (female = 7) in the age range 44 to 70 years. All the patients were trained to read the Gayatri Mantra for 3 days. We used basic data. Participants at the Mantra Gayatri Meeting and Om Conference attended for approximately 15 minutes on two consecutive days. The order of meetings was randomly assigned to participants. This previous study showed that both Gayatri's mantra and comfort are of interest, as measured by Stormwork. However, Mantra Gayatri's work was much more numerous than Om's reading. The manuscript also provides an analysis of the well‐being index before and after the Yaina process and radiation analysis of various devices.
... Therefore, by achieving a command over the Chakra all glandular secretions and mental function can be controlled [2]. Several research articles supports the physiological effects of Yoga on central nervous system [3][4][5][6][7], cardiovascular system [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16], autonomic nervous system [17][18][19][20][21] and respiratory system [22][23][24][25]. ...
... This fact is supported by the big data when we look deeper into the details then we found that even in type-I case only female subject is of middle age while all male subjects are below 25 year of age group. (Chaturvedi, 2019;Chaturvedi et al., 2015) In type-II category female seems to dominate by 16% that indicates females are having more bad habits for food, life style etc. When we look into insight of gender with age group distribution it has been found that in every age group females are dominating. ...

The Delhi and NCR healthcare systems are rapidly registering electronic health records, diagnostic information available electronically. Furthermore, clinical analysis is rapidly advancing—large quantities of information are examined and new insights are part of the analysis of this technology—and experienced as big data. It provides tools for storing, managing, studying, and assimilating large amounts of robust, structured, and unstructured data generated by existing medical organizations. Recently, data analysis data have been used to help provide care and diagnose disease. In the current era, systems need connected devices, people, time, places, and networks that are fully integrated on the internet (IoT). The internet has become new in developing health monitoring systems. Diabetes is defined as a group of metabolic disorders affecting human health worldwide. Extensive research (diagnosis, path physiology, treatment, etc.) produces a great deal of data on all aspects of diabetes. The main purpose of this chapter is to provide a detailed analysis of healthcare using large amounts of data and analysis. From the Hospitals of Delhi and NCR, a sample of 30 subjects has been collected in random fashion, who have been suffering from diabetes from their health insurance providers without disclosing any personal information (PI) or sensitive personal information (SPI) by law. The present study aimed to analyse diabetes with the latest IoT and big data analysis techniques and its correlation with stress (TTH) on human health. Authors have tried to include age, gender, and insulin factor and its correlation with diabetes. Overall, in conclusion, TTH cases increase with age in case of males and do not follow the pattern of diabetes variation with age while in the case of female TTH pattern variation (i.e., increasing trend up to age of 60 then decreasing).

The 21st century has brought many unpredicted changes in our lives. Science in 18th, 19th, and 20th century was developed in different dimensions and spread rapidly to make human life more comfortable. Unknowingly, its vision was blind so it became uncontrolled. It bypassed the basic human emotions, ethics, and responsibilities, and consequently, the happiness, prosperity, and peace of mind from our lives were lost. The ancient Hindu Vedic life style was completely scientific and they experienced and searched the formula of being contented and making themselves optimistic and healthy in all adverse circumstances, less resources and less. The present article is a trial to establish the scientific way of living in Hindu religion. The experimental analysis and logical explanation have been presented to readers to understand this fundamental aspect in view of Covid-19 and its various effects on physical, mental, social, and spiritual health of individual, family, and society. The present paper is a hope for humanity amidst pandemic threats surrounded over globe.

The mantra becomes more powerful when that sound is chanted in front of purified fire and light; sound and heat energy mixtures are converted into high level of energy and spread around the atmosphere. Through this paper, the well experienced author team of various domains is continuously working in experimenting in joint collaboration with different GoI departments. They have observed the slow but continuous progress in different ails on many subjects through scientific study and approach. The main case studies where the patients got significant benefits through this alternate therapy have been systematically presented here. The power of yajna and mantra has attracted the intellectuals of this era. In the future, we may expect some automated intelligent healthcare expert system using this way of life. Yagya science and its treatment power of different diseases is surprising; the need is that current science should accept it logically with an open mind and heart and let the humanity take the complete benefit of it.

With the advancement of computation power and internet revolution, IoT, big data, and cloud computing have become the most prevalent technologies in present time. Convergence of these three technologies has led to the development of new opportunities and applications which solve the real time problems in the most efficient way. Though cloud computing and big data have an inherent connection between them, IoT plays a major role of a data source unit. With the explosion of data, cloud computing is playing a significant role in the storage and management. However, the main concern that accompanies IoT are the issues related to privacy, security, power efficiency, computational complexities, etc. Misinterpretation of data and security limitations are the bottlenecks of big data whereas the limitations of cloud computing involve network connection dependency, limited features, technical issues, and security. The chapter considers use cases to address their real time problems and discusses about how to solve these issues by combining these technologies.

Many apps and analyzers based on machine learning have been designed already to help and cure the stress issue, which is an epidemic. The project is based on an experimental research work that the authors have performed at Research Labs and Scientific Spirituality Centers of Dev Sanskriti VishwaVidyalaya, Haridwar and Patanjali Research Foundations, Uttarakhand. In their research work, the correctness and accuracy have been studied and compared for two biofeedback devices named as electromyography (EMG) and galvanic skin response (GSR), which can operate in three modes—audio, visual, and audio-visual—with the help of data set of tension type headache (TTH) patients. They have realized by their research work that these days people have lot of stress in their life so they planned to make an effort for reducing the stress level of people by their technical knowledge of computer science. In their project, the authors have a website that contains a closed set of questionnaires from SF-36, which have some weight associated with each question.

Diabetes especially is a serious problem in today's world. Stress due to Tension Type Headache (TTH) is a another epidemic which is growing with a very fast pace. Diabetes is a disease of the body which does not cause metabolism of blood sugar (glucose). This increases the blood glucose to the risky level. The present study aims to analyze diabetes with the latest IoT and Big Data analysis techniques and its correlation with stress (TTH) on human health. Authors have tried to include age, gender, and insulin factor and its correlation with diabetes. IoT helps us to connect each other, i.e., it is known as smart connecting thing (a sort of “Universal Global Neural Network” in cloud). It comprises of smart connecting machine with other machine, object, and a lot more. Big Data refers to huge sets of data which are also large enough in terms of variety and velocity. Due to this, it becomes more difficult to handle, organize, store, process, and manipulate such data using traditional techniques of storage and processing. Stress especially TTH is a serious problem in today's world. Now every person in this world is facing headache and stress-related problems in daily life. We have collected this Big Data and studied the people; we have studied their tension level and helped them to cure it. In this chapter, we did our best to analyze the correlation between diabetes and stressors. For the analysis, we have been collected sample of 30 subjects from hospitals of Delhi in random fashion who has been suffering from diabetes from their Health Insurance Providers without disclosing any Personal Information (PI) or Sensitive Personal Information (SPI) by Law. To identify each case sample ids like S1, S2, etc., have been allotted to the subjects. Sample Data has been collected for following parameters: gender, age, diabetes type, insulin dependency, obesity status, coronary artery disease status, and cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy status. We have used the Tableau s/w for this analysis. Overall, interesting observation during our research was that none of our female subject having diabetes is below 25 years, i.e., early age diabetes cases were very less in females comparative to males subjected to the case sampling should not be impacted for age group gender biasing.

Background: Ancient India presented to the world a great solution in the form of Meditation. Meditation is one healthy means which control the brain electrical activity to maintain a good health and healthy society. Objective: To study the effect of meditation on electro encephalograph and on other parameters like blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory rate. Methods: Twenty healthy individuals who were practicing meditation regularly since last five years were compared with 20 healthy individuals who never practiced meditation. EEG, blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory rate was recorded on these selected Individuals before and during meditation. Results: Meditators as a group showed significant increase in Alfa actitivity in occipital region of frequency of 8 Hz and decrease of ß- activity in parietal region compared to controls. Diastolic blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory rate showed a significant reduction before and during meditation among study subjects compared to controls. But this was not significant in case of systolic blood pressure. Conclusion: It was found that meditation has a positive impact on the EEG changes and other parameters studied among meditators as compared to non-meditators. Key Words: Electrical activity, Electo encephalogram, Meditation

The purpose of this experimental study was to determine the energy levels corresponding to the different focal points (Chakras or centers) of the body, which is related with consciousness. In this experiment, the energy level is measured at four different centers, namely, the navel center, the heart center, the throat center and the eye center of the Human beings. The measurements have been taken using Energy Measurement System (EMS) developed at Department of Electrical Engineering, Dayalbagh Educational Institute, Dayalbagh, Agra, India, which works on the principle of tissue resistance of body. The probe was placed at different centers and subsequent readings were taken. The measurements clearly showed that the energy level in terms of tissue conductance or current at constant voltage is highest at the eye center and decreases at lower center, which represents at the correlation between consciousnesses which is highest at eye center and lower at lower centers.

The reluctance of conventional medicine to accept hypnotherapy tends to be attributed to the ‘Svengali’ image, and to the aura of charlatanry promoted by fairground hypnotists. Qualified hypnotherapists, however, must share part of the blame. Too often, presentations — both in professional meetings and in public discussion — are anecdotal, emphasizing the more striking or bizarre manifestations in deep-trance subjects. These both distort the public image and create expectations that in many cases will not be fulfilled. The ‘bread and butter’ case seldom gets an airing.

Introduction: Meditation is a technique of achieving harmony between the physical, mental, intellectual and spiritual personalities of man. Rajyoga is one of the techniques of meditation where a flow of thoughts is encouraged thus using mind in a natural way. Meditation has a number of positive effects on the physiology of human body. It has shown to reduce diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, heart rate and serum cholesterol levels thus reducing the risk of coronary artery disease. Aims and Objectives: This study aims to highlight haemodynamic effects of meditation by studying its impact on blood pressure, heart rate and ECG. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 100 healthy subjects (50 meditators and 50 non-meditators) from Brahma Kumari Ashram. They were further subgrouped on the basis of their sex, age and duration for which they had been practicing yoga. A detailed history was taken and detailed general physical examination was conducted on all of them. Anthropometric measurements were taken. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures, heart rate and ECG was recorded in all of them. Data was collected and statistically analyzed to achieve the results. Results: The mean heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate were significantly lower in subjects who practised meditation regularly than in subjects who did not. ECG did not show any significant change except for decreased heart rate in meditators. Conclusions: Coronary Heart Disease remains one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality in Indian population. Yoga and Meditation, given its positive effects on physiology of human body,if practised regularly, can emerge as one of the important non-pharmacological method of prevention of heart disease.

When mammals, including man, are confronted with a stressful event, their core body temperature rises, stress-induced hyperthermia. In mice, the stress-induced hyperthermia procedure has been developed to measure antistress or anxiolytic-like effects of psychoactive drugs. Group-housed and singly housed versions of the stress-induced hyperthermia generate comparable results. Because the number of animals needed to perform an experiment is much lower in the singly housed versus the group-housed procedure, the former is the test of choice for pharmacological testing. A typical stress-induced hyperthermia test starts with an injection 60 min before the first rectal temperature measurement (T1), followed by a second temperature measurement (T2) 10–15 min later. The difference ΔT (=T2−T1) is the stress-induced hyperthermia. The procedure also measures the intrinsic activity of drugs on the basal body temperature and ΔT is relatively independent from the intrinsic temperature effects of drugs. Anxiolytic drugs (benzodiazepines, -HT1A receptor agonists, alcohol) reduce ΔT suggestive of anxiolytic-like effects. Because the parameter measured for anxiety in the stress-induced hyperthermia procedure is not dependent on locomotor activity, like in almost all other anxiety tests, the stress-induced hyperthermia procedure is an attractive addition to tests in the anxiety field. Because the stress-induced hyperthermia is also present with a comparable pharmacological profile in females, this procedure has a wide species and gender validity. The procedure was applied in various genetically modified mice [5-HT1A and 5-HT1B receptor knockout (KO) mice and corticotropin-releasing hormone overexpressing (CRH-OE) mice] to study phenotypic influences of the various mutations on aspects of anxiety. The stress-induced hyperthermia test in singly housed male and female mice appears a useful and extremely simple test to measure effects of drugs on certain aspects of anxiety or to help to determine phenotypic differences in mutant mice.

Chronic sympathetic nervous system overactivity has been implicated as a factor capable of elevating and maintaining high serum cholesterol levels independent of dietary measures. We conducted a controlled trial to determine the effect of a relaxation technique. Transcendental Meditation, on serum cholesterol levels in hypercholesterolemic subjects. Serum cholesterol levels were measured at beginning and end of an 11-month period in 12 hypercholesterolemic subjects who regularly practiced meditation. Eleven hypercholesterolemic controls who did not practice the technique were similarly followed up for 13 months. Paired comparisons showed a significant (p less than 0.005) reduction in fasting serum cholesterol levels of those subjects who practiced meditation. These results suggest that the regular practice of a relaxation technique may contribute, most likely through a reduction in adrenergic activity, to the amelioration of hypercholesterolemia in certain subjects.
Effect of inspiratory and expiratory phases of normal quiet breathing, deep breathing and savitri pranayam type breathing on heart rate and mean ventricular QRS axis was investigated in young, healthy untrained subjects. Pranayam type breathing produced significant cardioacceleration and increase in QRS axis during the inspiratory phase as compared to eupnea. On the other hand, expiratory effort during pranayam type breathing did not produce any significant change in heart rate or QRS axis. The changes in heart rate and QRS axis during the inspiratory and expiratory phases of pranayam type breathing were similar to the changes observed during the corresponding phases of deep breathing.
