*The Ancient Code of Health: Understanding Developmental stages of child *

“Decoding the Body’s Ancient Memory for Better Health” – Unwinding developmental stages of infant.

“The secret to good health lies in decoding the ancient memory of co-ordinated  Muscular movements codes embedded in our ancient brain. By consciously encoding optimal efforts and programming them into our memory center, we can unlock a healthier life. It’s not an easy task, but it’s certainly achievable with dedication and persistence.”


“As humans, we have an incredible, remarkeble  ability to adapt to various environments. However, thriving requires a deeper understanding of the intricate connections between our muscular architecture, ancient memory, and brain development. By grasping these interconnected elements, we can unlock the secrets to optimal health and well-being in today’s fast-paced world.”

Proper adaptation is crucial for maintaining musculoskeletal health, which in turn affects our overall physiological and psychological state of health. When we adapt incorrectly, it can lead to musculoskeletal issues, impacting our physiological health and even influencing our mental well-being. Understanding the interconnectedness of musculoskeletal health with overall health allows us to take preventive measures, mitigating potential issues and promoting a healthier life.


Our Ancient Brain: Unlocking the Code of Muscular Memory

Deep within our ancient brain lies a stored memory of muscles in a coded form.

This code contains:

1. A sequence of order in specific direction
2. A data structure and algorithm of our muscular architecture
3. A program for movement and step by step
4. Rules for movement and coordination to follow

These voluntary muscles have a predetermined sequencal order  and specific direction of movement with the precise relationship with the Earth’s   gravitational force. During infancy, this sequence unfolds (without conscious intervention), eventually becoming automated).


Infants develop motor skills through trial and error, relying on the Righting reflex to navigate their environment and build coordination. This spinal cord reflex is crucial for essential skills like physical stability, balance, orientation, and movement. This innate, unconscious process showcases the remarkable complexity and wisdom of our ancient brain.

Unlocking the Secrets of Innate Movement :
1. Innate, Coded Memory : Our ancient brain’s innate memory orchestrates the sequential order with specific direction of voluntary muscles like a relay race, facilitating the Righting reflex.
2. Automated Process : The Righting reflex is an automated process of elongation and expansion  that helps infants develop essential skills like balance, orientation, and movement. This automated process, which we haven’t learnt consciously and intellectually, is often used harshly without improving its natural behavior.We have lost and forgotten and adapting differnetly.
3. Impact of Modern Lifestyles : As we age, our defensive reflexes can override our innate abilities, leading to harsher use of muscles and loss of natural skill.

To reclaim and nurture our natural skills, it’s essential to cultivate conscious awareness and intellectual understanding of our natural movement patterns.

Reclaiming Our Natural Abilities :

Our muscular architecture is guided by an ancient memory, coded in the brain, which unfolds after birth through:

1. Exploratory Efforts : Trial and error.
2. Success Pathways : Effective movement patterns.

The righting reflex governs this process, facilitating expansion and elongation, crucial for:

1. Neural Pathway Development : Creating space for proper neural development.
2. Organ System Support : Supporting overall growth.

By nurturing this memory, we can ensure optimal development and maintain natural skills throughout life.


Unlocking the Secrets of Brain Function and Ancient Memory :

Three key terms help us understand the intricate processes:

1. Coded Form : Stored memory in our ancient brain contains sequential muscular movement patterns in specific direction .
2. Decode : As children grow, they unwind and access this stored memory, developing motor skills and coordination. However, this process often becomes automated, as it’s not learnt consciously and intellectually.
3. Encode : By consciously restoring natural movement patterns and experiencing “Anubhuti,” we update the existing code, rewriting or re programming our conscious  brain’s memory.

Think of it like a computer program:

1. Ancient Brain : The hindbrain, including the cerebellum, reticular formation, and brainstem, contains pre-existing “code” or stored memory.
2. Decode : Children access and interpret this code through innate reflexes, such as the Righting reflex, developing motor skills.
3. Encode : By consciouse innate movement of muscular architecture and reprogramming, we update the existing code in our brain’s memory.

Understanding Brain Processes
Grasping these concepts provides valuable insights into our brain’s fascinating processes.

The righting reflex is a fundamental aspect of children’s development, playing a significant role in their overall growth and access to stored memory. This reflex helps children unwind and decode their surroundings, fostering elongation and expansion. As they navigate their environment, trial and error come into play, shaping unique movement patterns influenced by handling and exposure to the outside world. Each individual’s muscle movement patterns are distinct, reflecting their own path of trial and error, successes, and adaptations to maintain balance and adjust their center of gravity.

The righting reflex plays a crucial role in children’s development and access to stored memory!
1. Righting Reflex : Children unwind ancient code through this reflex where elogation and expansion occurs.
2. Trial and Error : Leads to unique movement patterns depending on handaling and exposure to explore outside word
3. Individual Differences : Each person’s muscle movement patterns differ.

Implications
1. Diversity in Movement : Reflects individual experiences.
2. Importance of Understanding : Recognizing these differences can inform personalized approaches.

The Five Stages of Human Development

Human life unfolds in five distinct stages:

1. Prenatal Development (Conception to Birth) : Genetics, physical, physiological, and psychological development are influenced by the mother’s physical alignment, spatial distortion, and physiological status.

2. Infancy and Toddlerhood (Birth to 2 Years) : A critical period for unwinding the ancient memory of voluntary muscles, laying the foundation for future motor skills and coordination.

3. Early Childhood (3-5 Years) : A stage of rapid growth, exploration, and learning.

4. Middle Childhood (6-11 Years) : A period of refinement, socialization, and cognitive development.

5. Adolescence (12 Years to Adulthood) : A transformative stage marked by physical, emotional, and psychological changes.

As the highest evolved and intellectual species, humans have a unique, bipedal, vertical posture. This complexity necessitates a longer developmental period, emphasizing the importance of a stable and healthy physical, physiological, and mental state.


The Ancient Brain’s Secret Code: Unlocking Voluntary Movement

Our ancient brain stores information about voluntary muscles in a coded form, containing their natural sequential order and specific directions of flow. This coding is a secret of Nature, governed by its own rules and regulations.

These movements are genetically programmed and stored in the memory center of our ancient brain. As a child grows, they unwind and decode these forms through a process of trial and error, learning and refining their movements over the first two years.

Through self-effort and practice, children bring these sequential flows of movement under the volitional control of the cerebrum.

This process unfolds in stages,”Dashvatar”

including:

1. Knee-elbow position

2. Movement of extremities : Movement of hand and legs to expand torso  and extend vertebral column

3. Lying on back with tripod position – creating space within body cavities both close and open.

4. Rolling over onto the belly – clockwise versus anticlockwise movement

5. Serpent movement: Sliding forward on the belly / serpent movement  with  alternate  forearm creating anti gravitational force –  development of neural pathways

6Reptile movement : Sliding forward on the belly with the opposite forearm and pushing the big toe backward  / reptilian movement – development of neural network

7. Quadruped movement : (classic crawling)

8. Suptavir ,Baddhakon and  Full squatting poses : Sitting poses with variations for rotation of pelvic and thigh bone simultaneously at hip joint

9.Standing and

10. walking

While lying on the stomach chid bring their knees forward and do the movement of the pelvis.
Once the child learns to lift the torso anchoring Palms and knees. They do the movement of pelvis around the head of the thigh bone. And sit pushing their hips towards heels . Then bring their leg forward and sit in a tripod pose. These are very essential movements at the hip joint where simultaneously pelvis and thigh bone moves.
Classic Crawling Movement – In classic crawling, hands move alternately from palms, involving shoulder girdle rotation backward and lifting the chest forward. Simultaneously, alternate knee movement occurs, with the pelvis moving backward. This creates an anti-gravitational movement through the front muscles, while back muscles work with gravitational force backward. During this movement, legs with  feet drag along.

Watch a child effortlessly transition/ moving  from sitting to full squatting to standing, and walking with natural ease.


As once a child masters these movements, they become automated, and we often forget the underlying process. This is because we didn’t learn it consciously or intellectually thus lost this ancient memory.

Conclusion:

Our ancient brain holds the secret code of voluntary muscular architecture, stored in a coded pattern. After birth, this pattern unfolds through the righting reflex via a trial-error-success pathway, following a specific sequential order and direction that guides muscle movement. This innate knowledge of muscular architecture should be consciously encoded using intellect; otherwise, the natural pattern may be lost as we grow. Preserving this natural process is crucial, especially since today’s fast-paced lifestyle often disrupts it in early childhood, underscoring the importance of honoring our ancient brain’s wisdom to enhance voluntary muscle movements.

Preserving the Natural State: A Crucial Aspect of Development

From early childhood to puberty, it’s essential to nurture and enhance our natural state. Failure to do so can lead to distortions, which are increasingly evident in today’s fast-paced lifestyle. Many children are struggling with emotional, behavioral, and mental-neurological issues.

Fortunately, by observing the sequential order of coding in our muscular architecture, we can gain insight into the unwinding stages of infant development (up to two years). This decoding process reveals specific patterns, forms, and codes governed by universal laws.

Yoga Shastra possesses knowledge of these coding and decoding processes, ensuring optimal health and serving as a prerequisite for further evolution. Diseases are the primary obstacle to overcome.

To effectively teach “Asanas,” an expert teacher must possess a fundamental understanding of ancient memory of voluntary muscles and Universal physical laws which govern our body.

By grasping these concepts, teachers can provide guidance that honors the natural state, promoting holistic well-being and spiritual growth.

We should be aware of the importance of preserving our natural state during childhood development and the role of Yoga Shastra in understanding the coding and decoding processes that govern our muscular architecture.

The True Purpose of Asanas: Naturalization and Higher Evolution

The importance of practicing “Asanas” in harmony with universal laws to achieve naturalization and higher evolution.

To achieve optimal health and reach higher evolutionary stages, it’s essential to practice “Asanas” (yoga postures) in harmony with universal laws and regulations. This naturalization process enhances our inherent patterns, allowing us to connect with the universe.

“Asanas” are not merely physical postures for performance or artistic expression. Misguided practices, such as  flexibility or stretching in the joints, can distort the vertebral axis – a vital channel for connecting with the universe.

The effort and intention behind each “Asana” are crucial. Expert guidance is necessary to ensure proper practice. Unfortunately, modern lifestyles prioritize advanced physical skills in sports, dance, and adventure activities over fundamental naturalization.

As a result, we’ve lost touch with our natural skills, leading to stiffness and hardness in our muscular architecture. This devolution accelerates disease rather than promoting ease and well-being.

To reverse this trend, it’s essential to:

1. Understand the true purpose of “Asanas”
2. Apply naturalization principles in practice
3. Work towards reconnecting with our natural state

By doing so, we can halt devolution and embark on a journey of higher evolution, cultivating optimal health, and spiritual growth.”

To conclude :

As we’ve explored, our ancient brain’s coding secret is unwound and automated, only to be forgotten and neglected in our modern lifestyle. However, Yoga Shastra offers a systematic approach to relearn and reprogram this ancient memory, reclaiming our natural movement patterns and muscular harmony.

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s essential to prioritize health by acknowledging the ancient wisdom embedded in our brain. By utilizing Yoga Shastra’s systematic approach, we can:

– Reclaim our natural movement patterns
– Restore balance to our muscular system
– Enhance and evolve our overall well-being

Health is not just about diets and exercises; it’s about understanding our naturalization process, addressing the root cause, and making informed choices. As we conclude, remember that prioritizing health is not just a necessity, but a vital investment in our evolution.”

Movement Relearning
We often learn basic movements like sleeping, sitting, bending, standing, and walking through trial and error. However, these habitual movements may not necessarily promote optimal physical condition. To achieve better health and genetic potential, it’s essential to consciously relearn and refine these movements through intellectual understanding and intentional practice.

This process can help prevent issues, improve overall well-being, and enhance physical function.

I am providing a comprehensive understanding of the ancient brain’s coding secret, its impact on our modern lifestyle, and the importance of Yoga Shastra in reclaiming our natural movement patterns.
