"The bigger the calm, the more powerful the winds," says John Douillard, who joins the Quantum Biology Collective podcast to explore the fascinating intersection of quantum physics and Ayurveda. A pioneer in sports medicine and Ayurvedic practices for over 40 years, Douillard reveals how ancient wisdom and modern science converge to unlock human potential and achieve optimal health.
In this captivating episode, Douillard shares his journey from competitive athlete to Ayurvedic practitioner, explaining how meditation and breath work can induce a "runner's high" state of peak performance. He delves into the quantum aspects of Ayurveda, discussing how coherent photon emissions from our DNA can carry healing intentions across vast distances. Douillard also introduces a powerful one-minute meditation technique that activates gamma brainwaves associated with higher consciousness.
Tune in to today's discussion to discover how aligning with nature's rhythms, practicing mindful transitions, and harnessing the power of intention can bridge the gap between consciousness and physiology, leading to profound healing and enhanced well-being.
5 Key Takeaways
1. Practice the "one minute meditation" using bellows breath: Do 30 quick in-and-out breaths through your nose, followed by 30 seconds of stillness. This activates gamma brainwaves and provides a quick reset.
2. Seek the "coexistence of opposites" in daily life: Look for moments where you can be both calm and active simultaneously, like observing a flowing river or practicing nose breathing during exercise.
3. Use transition moments in your day for mindfulness: Before entering your home or starting a new task, take a minute to reset using the bellows breath technique.
4. Eat seasonally to support your microbiome: Use Dr. Douillard's free seasonal grocery lists to choose foods that provide the right microbes for each season.
5. Explore coherent vs. incoherent photon emissions: Practice meditation, yoga, and breathing exercises to potentially increase coherent photon emissions, which may support healing and overall wellbeing.
Memorable Quotes
"The bigger the calm, the more powerful the winds. The more calm you can establish, the more productive you can be in your life."
"Ayurveda is the understanding that it's about letting the truth of who you are out, letting a more initially vulnerable, delicate, passionate, and even powerful part of you out."
"When you actually do breathe, and they talk about pranayama, prana means breath, and yam means to hold, pause or extend your breath. So when you hold, pause and extend the breath, you're actually accessing the gap between the breath."
