Moody moods

We, human beings are full of emotions and moods.  I have written about the recipe of our emotions and moods.  It is a mixture of smell, sight ,feel, noise and taste . All these combination of these factors will create a taste or a mood.  Bad smell, ugly sight, loud noise and chilli taste could create an explosive mood or foul emotion . The extent of each factor and its combination will give us a different degree of anger, foulness or aggressiveness.  We have to be aware of these factors or spices of life.

For those monks, they often have six dots on their bald heads and each dot represent a factor and when it arises in these discipline monk's thoughts or feel , they could suppress it and reduce its impact on their mood.  It is just like a measuring pen, if the temperature goes up, they dip in cold water to reduce its impact.

For health reasons, some people like Mao Tze Dong, he dip or swim in ice cold water to control their body temperature and also the coolness in their head.  If we have tasted the extreme , it is easy to control the moderates.  This is the logic for their strange behavior .  If you can control your body heat or your feelings in the cold water, you will be able to control the six elements in your body as shown above.

In yoga, there is a method to control one's re-action to sex , it is called Tantra yoga. It involves a male and female yogi to practice yoga together and in close proximity and sometimes to meditate in nude facing each other. This is to control the feeling and emotions in their body. ln hot yoga, it is also having the same logic, it is to pose a yoga pose in extreme heat and you have to use your mind and core to your pose in extreme heat. The feeling of coldness or strong heat in one's body could make you aware and control your thoughts. For those swimmers, they merged themselves into a swimming pool and hold their breath for 30 seconds to 1 minute to expose themselves to extremism and they can learn how to control their body re-action. 

The logic is that once you are expose to extremism , your body will be able to handle a range between light and extremism.   Push your limit and your new limit will be your limit . So keep pushing until you know what is really your limit.

Namaste.
