There are 7 major chakras. The ajna center is short for Arjuna the most famous beloved disciple of Krishna (the Hindu Christ of 5000 years ago). It’s the place of meditation and is located 1-3 inches in front of the forehead. Slightly above and between the eyebrows.

Researchers from the University of Berkley recently desired to look into this mind body connection.

And this is the case with meditation that is global vipassana pagoda. global vipassana pagoda stands for”insight” and it’s a non-secular form of Buddhist meditation which has become remarkably popular. Vipassana is educated around the world in retreats in over one hundred centers.
Of course, no one becomes enlightened after 10 days. Stresses will overwhelm you. Anger will re-emerge. Depression will re-emerge. Our conditioned mental and emotional patterns do not completely evaporate. They’ll steer us off course time and time vipassana meditation again.
Discipline. Specifically in respect to meditation and daily exercise. Tomorrow, I will start a routine of meditation and exercise thing in the morning and stick to it. That’s it! You heard it here. Since you’re holding me accountable, now I can’t slack off.
