“I’m just dying to hear your scientific explanation of how it all works as you say it does”
Urine is not “dirty”, that is simply the social programming that has entered into one’s mind. Certainly it is waste, but it is not waste in the same sense as shit. Urine is simply blood which has been filtered through the kidneys, and unless one’s kidneys or bladder are infected, or unless one has been living in an unhealthy way, then there is no possibility of any infection arising out of drinking urine. One of the main ingredients in urine is urea, which has antibacterial and antioxidant properties. It is a common ingredient in many drugs which are sold in the marketplace.
The quality of one’s urine is going to reflect the quality of one’s way of living, and the technique of amaroli in yoga was mainly prescribed for yogis who were already practicing a certain disciple and had already gone through a certain physical and psychological purification. The urine of a yogi tends to be far more purified than that of the average person, and it is possible for one’s urine to be somewhat unclean if one has been living in a certain way, doing all kinds of things like smoking cigarretes, drinking alcohol, taking drugs, and so on.
The body goes through a certain biological cycle in twenty four hours. In biology, it is known as the carcadian rhythm, although that is just scratching the surface of the changes that happen in one’s system within twenty four hours. Modern science still remains absolutely unaware of the changes that happen at the level of the subtle energies of the body, the influence of the solar and lunar phases, and other aspects. Our system is such, that it is interconnected with so many inner and outer forces, it is impossible for anything in nature to truly function as a separate entity. Even the breath is influenced by certain phases of the moon, depending on which moon phase is functioning, the breath going flow more through either the left or the right nostrils. Depending on which breath is functioning, differnet energies of the subtle body will be functioning. Either the ida nadi will be more active, or the pingala, or the sushumna. It is generally best to practice sadhana during times when the sushumna is active, because it is during those times when there is a greater possibility of awakening the kundalini which rises within the sushumna. But these are different matters. At the level of the gross body, during different times of the day different hormones are released by the endocrine glands into the blood stream. During the day thyroid glands are released, and between 2am to 6am pineal hormones such as melatonin are released. Melatonin is a hormone which induces certain states of relaxation which are linked with alpha and delta brain waves. This can be of tremendous aid in meditation, and in yoga amaroli is also used as an aid in yoga. That is why it is at least to be practiced during the early hours of the morning when there is a presence of melatonin in the urine. But there are other reasons for drinking the urine at particular times besides this, because at different times in the twenty four hour cycle of the body, there are specific subtle energies which are more active in the subtle body. These too are contained in the urine. When practicing amaroli, one is to drink only the midstream of the urine, as the beginning part contains bile, and the ending part is useless.
But if one is really interested in knowing of amaroli, one will have to explore for oneself. Fundamentally, the impact of all the techniques of the yogic sciences were not discovered through reading books, or simply borrowed knowledge, but through direct experience.[/QUOTE]
I can’t believe you took the time to compose such bologna.
