Very interesting stuff!
By the way: my kinesiology therapist sometimes ask me to perform kechari mudra during therapy. He does not call it kechari, of course, but as I asked him to explain what that “tongue posture” is supposed to be for, well, what he explained was very much in line with the AYP lessons.
I will keep my eyes and ears out So-Hi, I’d love to see this done too. The closest thing I have seen is the Xray images of the guy in Kechari.
Ecdyonurus - interesting, seems modern science is catching up to yoga bit by bit in this area. I just read a fascinating article yesterday all about the tongue and it’s benefits to learning and neuroplasticity:

Superbrain Yoga and “Kechari Squats”, interesting… wonder how they came up with this:

Hi Technoyogi, it is not surprising that yoga and modern science lead to similar “discoveries”: both analize/observe action-reaction on the humans; the yogis did it by direct awareness using one’s own senses, science did it by the mean of hi tech tools.
Interesting article, I am newly fascinated by this guy:

This guy Itzhak Bentov was a true “technoyogi”. He was probably the first person to describe consciousness and the universe as a hologram, and he was speaking from his own deep meditative experiences.
He may also have been the first to look at the physiological scientific aspects of kundalini, looking at things such as how the heart beats and creates pressure waves that go out into the body and actually cause the brain to move up and down and how when we stop breathing (kumbakha, the breathless samadhi state) our vibrations literally synchronize at around 7hz (the heartbeat frequency of the Earth’s ionosphere) and become smoothed out, etc.
His books and videos on Youtube are fasincating, I’m glad I found him!
