Transcript

Namaste I'm Dr Robert and today on five-ish minutes with Dr Robert my subject is Otis pran is the life force thanks to Prana we're alive as long as we have prawn in our bodies we exist as soon as Prana departs permanently then that's the end of us when The Prana is present in the body it in Kindles tages which is fire at all levels of the organism and the ultimate result of Tejas that is applied in just the right way in just the in in just the right moment in the organism the ultimate result is ojas ojas is something that is created from the digestion of all the the food and the water and the air that we take in all of it goes through the process of being converted into the seven datus and after the seventh datu that is the reproductive Jews the ultimate result is ojas [Music] so if we want to have plenty of urges and we do want to have plenty of oh just because it produces the aura that surrounds us and that assists us to feel that we have some sort of a protective envelope that keeps us a little bit insulated from the outside world oh just integrates together the physical body The Chronic body the mental body and therefore allows us to act in a purposeful way in an integrated way with all parts of ourselves moving in the same direction [Music] is also in charge of our immunity when oges is high immunity is high we know just as low immunity is low so how do we create more oh just we create oh just by making sure that we eat good healthy food not too much mostly plants we digest that food well and we make good use of our reproductive energy we do not waste it we do not tap uh tangle it up we continue to use it in positive creative ways particularly in the context of aligning ourselves properly and creatively with the Supreme intelligence that is the Ultimate Reality of the universe the it is but it takes time and effort to create oges it is very easy to destroy urges one way yes is to misuse your Sexual Energy but any kind of very strong negative emotion will burn oh just away for example when one is very angry that anger will set off a Cascade of cortisol and and other and other irritable hormones in the body and those hormones will have a very negative effect on ogis which is also a hormonal substance but it is something that is Created from a number of different hormones working together in just the right way in just the right fashion at just the right time and space to produce at that certain very subtle result meditating and a lot and doing yoga and aligning yourself properly with reality is also a good way to generate ogis provided that you don't over meditate or over over Focus or or over exert yourself because of ambition or whatever other kind of of motive might be encouraging you not to Simply continue focusing on having a well-integrated organism that is achieving whatever needs to be achieved on this plane of existence while also preparing for that ultimate transition that all of us are headed in the direction of this is Dr Robert requesting everyone to keep their otges well cultivated
