voidisyinyang Posted August 19, 2007 Wow I had this hour long talk with the student who saw me sitting in full-lotus. She had just gotten back from spiritual camp in Colorado with an Indian guru lady, Sai Ma. Â Anyway she finally asked me if "I could control that consciously" -- meaning the vagus nerve -- carotid contractions on the right side of my brain. Â There's a lot of material online about full-body orgasms and the vagus nerve. Females who had spinal damage still have orgasms through the vagus nerve. Â It's the same for men in full-lotus! haha. Â But the problem is that over stimulation of the vagus nerve causes acid heart burn -- because the vagus nerve secretes the acid to the stomach. Â This is discussed online on yoga pages. Â So this is why once a "bigu" state is reached a person needs to eat very lightly or else the body gets too acidic. Â I've been trying to eat a normal diet -- with disastrous results! haha. Â Now I'm taking ginger which is an amazing answer for leaky gut via vagus nerve stimulation. Â it's said that the stomach is the 2nd brain while for full-lotus the brain is the 2nd stomach! haha. Â Ginger works with the pancreatic juices which counter the stomach acid. Â There's lots online about ginger being a miracle herb. Â Thanks to the Vedanta student for help (her dad did medical research on ginger!) Â haha. Â Now back to the vagus nerve stimulation through the full-lotus. Â ciao.
