How Yogis can survive without eating while meditating?

Playing text to speech

Yogis, also known as practitioners of yoga, have been known to survive without eating for extended periods of time while meditating. This may seem like a miracle or an impossibility, but there are scientific explanations for how this can be possible.

First, some spiritual and esoteric information about "Every Religion" fasting. Then, provide a logical and scientific explanation for prolonged fasting.

"Man doesn't live on 'bread' alone, however from each 'Word' that comes from God".

Jesus stated this.

After 40 days of intermittent fasting and meditation without food, water, or sleep, he was tempted by the "devil" (mental temptation) to eat bread made of stone.

This was possible, but he provides the appropriate response above to avoid being driven by ego. Other two enticements are not important here.

The entire Christian community incorrectly interprets the "Word of God" as literal Bible passages or words spoken by God.

There is neither a form nor a mouth for God to speak from. The Bible refers to it as the "Word of God" that existed prior to creation.

John 1:1. ‘ The Word existed before God existed alongside God, and the Word was God.

"Word" here refers to sound, vibration, or "Om," the primordial vibration. According to the String Theory, modern science is well aware that the universe is just vibrations.

The overall takeaway from this is that God provides our life support, not food.

According to the Vedas, "word" means "Shabda," which also means "sound" (Naad Brahma) and refers to the quality of the Soul, which is the source of all life's dimensions, or even Kundalini energy.

So, in yogic terms, after Kundalini energy (the power of the soul) is awakened through intense austerities and fasting, we can live without food, water, or even breath for a while.

However, keep in mind that this is only possible in the "State of Samadhi." When we are thinking and moving, we need food and water, no matter how little it is.

The science of yoga (my research and personal experience provide a philosophically logical explanation that is not found in any books or scriptures):

  • The ultimate goal of Raj (Ashtanga) or Hatha (Hatha) yoga is to liberate oneself from the shackles of karma (sin) and rebirth.
  • Moksha requires accomplishment of the territory of Samadhi, and that implies essentially being situated, unmoving, for broadened timeframes, going from minutes, to hours, to days, to months and even years.
  • This is a hugely unrealistic aspect of yoga, where we are forced to use various means to overcome our limitations. We can't. In order for our children to eventually suffer in concrete jungles, we must breathe, eat, drink, sleep, reproduce, and then work for our needs.
  • Karma is reflected as 'Samskaras' in our 'subliminal psyche' procured from previous encounters and previous existences that can't be deleted in a couple of days, or not many years.
  • In covert government of reflection, when contemplations stop, we slowly delete our collected Samskaras and hence step by step consume karma.
  • Since karma is entwined with time and space, Samadhi allows one to escape both, thereby escaping karma.
    However, once more, these intermittent meditation sessions are insufficient to reach the peak. "Savikalpa Samadhi" refers to these brief moments of bliss.
  • Savikalpa Samadhi, here and there contemplation, has the gamble of falling once more into the snare of karma while not reflecting.
  • Buddha said that karma can grow to the size of a Banyan tree without anyone noticing.
  • So consistent contemplation is expected without break to top the experience or accomplish unadulterated straightforward cognizance.
  • As a result, the need for permanent liberation, known as "Nirvikalpa Samadhi," in which karma is permanently burned and samskaras are wiped out, arises.
  • Because eating and drinking will cause you to urinate, defecate, and leave your Asan, or seat, you must fast.
  • Fasting briefly, or when seven days is sound since detoxification happens upgrading wellbeing and otherworldliness.
  • Consuming, digesting, running around, thinking, procreating, working, and other activities use up energy, which is why you need to sleep.
  • One crucial point to keep in mind is that sleep is not Samadhi unless you are in Yoga Nidra, or awake but unfocused sleep.
  • Because the mind is racing in dreams, the state of sleep is not the same as Samadhi. Additionally, while we are in a dream, karma follows us without our knowledge.
  • Meditating while lying down or leaning back runs the risk of entering a dream or thinking mind, which is what interrupts meditation.
  • Getting out of bed requires sitting up straight, awake, unfocused, and motionless. How long can someone remain motionless? 30 minutes, 60 minutes, or 2 hours. I've experienced the excruciating pain of sitting in meditation for two hours when the body isn't ready or strong enough.
  • As a result, the body needs Pranayama and Yogasana to become strong, agile, and stable. This is yoga preparation. because true yoga takes place within the mind.

The actual meaning of yoga is not a two- or one-month course in asanas. The genuine significance of Yoga is the 'Association', fellowship between 'Jeevatma' (limited Soul) and 'Paramatma' (Endless Soul).

The psyche is an impediment stuck among Jeevatma and Parmatma contradicting the Association (Yoga). The mind thus dissolves, allowing the union, in Samadhi. The drop and the ocean merge. Man becomes God.

This is the thoughtfully coherent parts of yoga. Presently, the logical and organic parts of Yoga and Samadhi.

To begin deep meditation, one must first lower their heart rate and blood pressure. The more mental and physical hyperactivity, the higher the blood pressure in the brain.

As asanas and pranayama work to eliminate toxins from the blood vessels while you sit still, lowering your heart rate and making your body more flexible. Toxins essentially exacerbate physical and mental discomfort.

In order to aid in digestion, our heart rate and blood pressure rise with each meal. Poisonous food or materials cause quick increment of pulse coming about in mental/actual hyperactivity obstructing contemplation.

Therefore, the goal is to keep the heart rate and blood pressure as low as possible. That which cuts down digestion like polar bears and snakes that hybernate and save energy and administer the least energy.

How low? When a true Yogi reaches Samadhi, his heart rate can drop as low as 4 to 6 beats per minute.
There is less need for food and less loss of energy at such a low heart rate and inactivity.

Sooner or later of time the breath can stop as the weak and low pulse can keep utilizing the oxygen put away in the RBC ( Red blood corpuscles) or in the end by Kundalini Shakti.

Because they destroyed the mind and realized the Soul, those who attain Nirvikalpa Samadhi can continue to live in bliss and serve humanity in the manner of Buddha throughout an enlightened life. Self-realization (also known as soul realization) occurs here as well.

Or, like Nath Yogis, they can choose to be buried alive in the State of Samadhi (Jeeva Samadhi) on a specified day to break the karma cage and break the cycle of rebirth.

Yogis have a completely different point of view. They can rely on science, too. However, they perceive modern science as lacking in knowledge. They have a much broader perspective. Science has a shifting foundation for them. Anything with a shifting base ought to be treated as such, not as something established, fixed, or indestructible.

When all of nature's whims are taken into account, Yogis believe that Nature is immutable. The human body is a natural part of nature. When taken together with its variations, this is also permanent. Self-revising is one of its varieties. The brain, also known as the mind, is the "core processor" that oversees all of the body's functions. Yogis trust force of the brain as boundless. Successfully, this power can be changed over into various types of energy.

At the point when a Yogi sits to contemplate, the underlying time is taken by the components to get adjusted. In science, we might call it as moseying and dialing back of breathing, coming full circle into a profound loosening up state. The Yogi then goes deeper into meditation after achieving this. Steadily, the brain starts to free its consciousness of the body. 

Even further, the master yogi applies his dictat , through the brain on the psyche (if it's not too much trouble, note the duality communicated here : We are using one mind to control the other mind (we are all aware that there is only one mind, but we are able to divide it into two halves). The mind, or our conscious mind, gradually loses its awareness of the body. This state of meditation is not particularly deep. This will be confirmed by any serious yogi.

With a subjective increment, Yogi starts to free consciousness of his body. The Yogi will gradually lose awareness of both the body and time. To keep track of how long he has meditated, he will need a watch. Yogis frequently express surprise upon learning that they meditated for three hours. They consider those three hours to be roughly thirty minutes. At this point, the mind begins to separate from the body, and the spinal nerves take over: ensuring that only the fundamental body functions. 

With additional diminishing in action and digestion, scarcely any energy is consumed by the body. The breath's exhalation force begins to decrease. Heartbeat and heartbeat drop (however these are changes brought upon by the body and brain itself, and there is no reason for alert thusly).

The heart rate would be somewhere between 30 and 40 beats per minute by the time the force of exhalation has decreased to an inch. The body ceases to require food, water, or air at this point because they are no longer required.

In conclusion, the ability of yogis to survive without eating while meditating is a fascinating phenomenon that can be explained by a combination of factors, including the relaxation response, the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system, the practice of pranayama, and the body's natural ability to enter a state of ketosis. While the concept of breatharianism is controversial and should be approached with caution, there may be some truth to the idea that the body can survive without food for extended periods of time under certain circumstances
