Dopamine: This one chemical all you need to know for healthier and happier life.

" Once you understand the power and peril of dopamine, you'll better understand the human condition itself"

—Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive and When



I emotionally feel the madness of this chemical and it's something I wanna be in, once I understand the very basics of my body's internal chemistry. How this is released and utilized in my brain and how with the mere techniques of yoga, meditation, and pranayama I could have control of this Master Neurotransmitter.








Chemical Messenger

The master chemical is dopamine, also known as a monoamine neurotransmitter, which is generated from amino acids. This molecule is produced by your body, and your nervous system uses it to deliver messages between nerve cells under certain circumstances. Thus, Chemical Messenger is another name for it.





Chemical Formula of Dopamine


The pleasure and reward responses are connected to the feel-good neurotransmitter. I will refer to it as the "Master Chemical" because it has several advantages. the substance responsible for our dreams and secrets.

Hey! I'd describe it as a master chemical. working in a demanding setting? To profit from this chemical's long-lasting effects, you must comprehend the science underlying it.


We are human beings, and we value knowledge. We need to understand it so that it can be applied emotionally by exercising techniques and diets to boost the threshold. Science and technology have made breakthroughs in the fields of diseases related to emotional as well as mental stress, like Parkinson's disease, which results from a lack of dopamine level in the body, and other emotional disorders.

In 1957, a researcher named Kathleen Montagu made the discovery of dopamine in London. According to the study, pleasure is produced when dopamine is triggered, and when more cells are activated and turned on, this pleasure is difficult to resist. It was a breakthrough because the human race learned about a really intriguing chemical.


(Do You Know?

You are composed of 50 trillion cells, each of which is a distinct family. The community made up of those 50 trillion cell families is what we continue to refer to as ourselves. These Fifty trillion cells make up the human body.)


(Note 1: Fools falling head over heels, longing to an ever-increasing extent, and famous people need more hits and blockbusters, a mogul needs to be a very rich person due to this chemical.)


Let's talk about the four chemicals released under love and compassion. 

They include growth hormones, dopamine, oxytocin, and vasopressin. Every day, our thoughts play a crucial influence on how our bodies chemical reactions behave. Let's say that if you visualise love, dopamine will be released as a bonding hormone called oxytocin, just like the one that gives you the pleasure you need to bond with. Vasopressin, another chemical released in romantic relationships that makes you more beautiful so you can retain your spouse, and Growth Hormone, which is for relationship development, round out the chemical cocktail.

When two people fall in love, a mix of chemicals leaves the brain. Hence, these chemicals improve your life, relationships, and vigour while also making you happier and healthier. Let's look at the other side of the coin and imagine that we are under stress due to a dire situation. The brain doesn't release any chemicals like dopamine, oxytocin, vasopressin, or growth hormones, but it does release stress hormones and inflammatory hormones. Hence, just as the blood's composition affects the fate of your cells, the content of the culture medium affects the fate of the cells. And the image in your mind is the basis for this composition. As a result, alter the image.

(Note 2: When dopamine levels are low, people are less enthusiastic and motivated, and when dopamine levels are high, conditions including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, depression, bipolar disorder, binge eating, addiction, gambling, and schizophrenia can develop.)

It aids in improving focus, motivation, and other skills. However, maintaining a cheerful outlook, eating a balanced diet, engaging in regular exercise, including protein in your diet, and engaging in activities like yoga, pranayama, meditation, and music therapy can all help your body's chemistry balance out this dopamine. You will grow stronger, and your body won't be affected by emotional turmoil no matter what circumstances you find yourself in.

The next time you feel enthusiastic, you must pay attention to your body's chemistry. Since the stress hormone also plays a significant role in anxiety and depression, I will also examine it in its entirety in later sections. It will be fascinating to discuss this hormone as a whole.

Trividha Nadi's - Ida, Pingala and Sushumna

  The fundamental question is, in a day, how much of your thoughts, emotion, physical activity, breath, heartbeat and everything else is conscious. - Sadhguru The Nadi's that  has always kept me captivating. It's like when i was in school, I heard about Ida, Pingala and Sushumna Nadi. But then these were mere mysteries, because Yoga was then unknown to me. Then after years of practicing, the series of asana, and keeping awareness of breath while maintaining the mahamudra, I began feeling the zilt of these Nadi's. I came across a subtle feeling that can only be felt and cant be explained. The left and right part inside my body are being distributed in genealogical form. It made me sensitive to vibration, and these vibrations were happening in these nadi's that brought change in me, a change impossible to explain with mere words.  - Tanmay Bhati  Ida, Pingla and Sushumna Nadi If we are not living in our bodies, honoring them as our temple.

"Listen to the Un-struck Sounds and What Sifts Through That Music"- Rumi An unstruck sound, deep inside the matter, when closely examined through magnification, can bump your ears with the Soundless Sound of vibrations, These are the strings of the quarks, or so, The Anahad Naad, a cosmic sound, that depicts a completeness of oneself, One who can hear this Naad, is so extrasensory perceptible, that he can know the entire working of the cosmos, and attains Nirvikalpa Samadhi. -Tanmay Bhati   Anahada Naad, An Un-struck Sound -     If you started out knowing everything theoretically, then there is no magic or wonder occurring in the cosmos. Here, I've connected the String Theory with the so-called Anahad Naada, a soundless sound. Since every particle in the universe, whether it contains life or not, is vibrating constantly. Additionally, practically everything in the universe has a fundamental sound that we are unable to perceive with our usual senses. As we move closer...

  Energy and Kundalini Everything around us, including the silent mimicry of trees during the rainy season, the flow of water, the beauty of a rainbow, the free flow of an artist at his highest level of precision, the dance of the peacock, and the fragrance of a flower, transpires without flow when we are in our actual conditions, unquestionably in its most natural state, this is what Kundalini means. Kundalini awakening is not a process, it is the transformation of a physical being to an energy being, more subtly.   A 2017 study published in the Journal of Transpersonal Psychology looked at the connection between spiritual experiences and Kundalini activation. The research discovered a variety of spiritual experiences, including mystical encounters, feelings of oneness with the universe, and heightened intuition, was linked to Kundalini rising. Kundalini" means "coiled serpent." At the base of the spine, robust and dormant energy is thought to reside. The chakras, or en...

There is, in the end, neither creation nor destruction but the rising and falling of the realm of appearances from the Supreme Consciousness, that is Shiva. - From "Shiva" by David Frawley  Shiva and Shakti: Exploring the Masculine and Feminine Energies      Within Hindu mythology and philosophy, Shiva and Shakti represent the dynamic interplay of masculine and feminine energies. Shiva embodies masculine energy, while Shakti symbolizes feminine energy. This divine union represents the underlying cosmic forces responsible for creation, sustenance, and transformation. In addition to their metaphysical significance, the narrative of Shiva imparting yoga to the seven sages further highlights the role of these deities in shaping the ancient practice of yoga. Furthermore, exploring the physiology and anatomy associated with Shiva and Shakti provides a deeper understanding of their symbolism.   Shiva and Shakti: Masculine and Feminine Energies:    ...
