Silence - Melathonin and Meditation

by Maria Ferreira da Silva

in 14 Dec 2016

  (...previous)

Scientists have proved that when Melathonin is administered to patients it produces an effect of relaxation, sleep and tranquillity, which is the same as that which occurs in the mind when one meditates deeply. One achieves a state of stillness whenever one attains spiritual planes which set in motion physical and mental processes, as to reactivate and produce Melathonin. It is produced by the pineal gland from substances that act as principal regulators of the organism and also form the muscles, bones and other types of tissue.
Emotional disturbances and other neurological disorders can cause the neurotransmitters to stop working; therefore, the cells of the brain to lose their capacity for inter-communication, altering the overall state and impeding the production of Melathonin. Without the production of this substance life becomes sad, with no objectives in view, and depression sets in. Those who are depressed do not produce the required quantity of Melathonin.
A balanced diet is also essential for the production of amino acids*. These substances can be found in vegetables, cereals, pulses and seeds. However, alcohol, tobacco, drugs, chocolate and all other anti-natural stimulants inhibit the production of amino acids.

The wise men of bygone days used to say that we should live in harmony with nature. Indeed, our biorhythms should be in tune with the dynamics of the Cosmos and the Solar System. Nowadays, most beings, especially young people, have discarded this way of life; this has led to all kinds of problems, including violence, rendering young people unable to govern themselves, resorting to stimulants and turning their lives into a vicious circle. If we would live in accordance with natural laws, we can in health and happiness, since the physical organism is itself a regulator, not only of time, but also of space: the body is like a clock, that works in accordance with the solar cycle. Similarly, the pineal gland works in tune with the daily cycle. Melathonin regulates our sleep and those who sleep well have normal levels of Melathonin. Indeed, Melathonin is produced during the night (in the absence of light) and production diminishes during the day. In fact, it has been found that the highest levels of production occur during the night up until 2am. For this reason, it is essential that one should go to bed early and sleep, in tune with one’s own “body-clock”, thereby ensuring that the body is rested sufficiently and recovers its energies. The natural production of Melathonin regenerates the organism as a whole, and this occurs during the first hours of the night. From the moment one begins to feel sleepy Melathonin is already being produced.

As Meditation is a natural method for the production of Melathonin, there is no need for providing a supplement by taking tablets containing the substance, as advised by many specialists. Meditation is a natural regulator of human nature. Its best results are produced when practicing from 2am to 3am. Meditation at this time of the night is the deepest and most stilling and enables a further three or four hours’ deep sleep. It is during this period of the daily cycle that the organism can be supplied with most Melathonin. Likewise, Meditation during the day also enables the brain to create this well being, increasing the production of Melathonin, purifying the body and the mind and enabling an improved response to the challenges of everyday life. Regular practice sets up a cycle which is beneficial to life as increased Melathonin levels are used by the brain for its regeneration and in this way it develops in terms of intelligence and spirituality.
Moreover, sexual relations should not begin too early as the brain needs to be allowed time, from birth to puberty, to establish and program its cognitive and emotional system. If the brain or certain areas of it are forced to function before the time is right, this leads to emotional imbalance and force certain cells to work harder than others. Excessive sexual or emotional stimuli have an effect on the brain, impairing the potential for creative thought, as the area governing this is linked to kuṇḍalinī energy.
