What is inner power in yoga?

Per the episode, inner power is the inner capacity that moves a person from mere seeing to seership — from self toward the universal.

Is there a scientific link between yogic practice and brain waves or the endocrine system?

The conversation cites pineal and pituitary glands, hormonal regulation, and changes in wave patterns with Om chanting.

How should you choose a mudra?

Shivam Yogi says you must first understand your nature; choosing a mudra aligned with nature strengthens meditation and energy.

Choosing mudra by nature, correct posture, and Bhramari / Om practice are explained in practical steps.

This article is a structured note of the Day 1 dialogue; not medical advice.

Inner power: yoga’s root question

Sarvesh Mishra opens Day 1 with “inner power.” Shivam Yogi calls it inner capacity — the power that does not keep a person only at the level of the seen but leads toward the seer. In yoga texts the journey is from zero to peak: know yourself, understand your strength, then move toward divinity.

Is there a scientific basis?

The episode insists this is not only philosophy but science. The discussion mentions the pineal gland, pituitary (“king gland”), hormonal regulation, and impact on wave patterns from chanting Om. Proper practice is said to show effects on the nervous and endocrine systems in both experience and measurement.

Om, waves, and the foundation of meditation

According to Shivam Yogi the simplest entry is daily Om chanting. With correct mudra, posture, and meditation point, a person’s frequency shifts, calm grows, and positive shifts in alpha patterns can be observed.

Nature first, mudra second

The most useful part of the episode: “First understand your nature.” Five natures based on the five elements are explained in simple language — air types restless/quick, fire intensity/anger, water emotionality, earth stability, sky expansiveness.

Mudra choice should follow this nature; otherwise practice can even backfire. The message is clear: the wrong vehicle reaches the right destination late or the wrong way.

How to sit and a common beginner mistake

Sitting frameworks include Sukhasana, Ardha Padmasana, Padmasana, and Yonibaddha / Siddhasana. A common mistake: straining the eyes unnecessarily in meditation. Shivam Yogi says jumping into meditation without understanding the senses is like throwing the body into the wrong environment — the result may be frustration, not peace.

Nadis and body signals: a small experiment

The episode demos what to do when tingling or numbness appears, linked to nadi science. Beyond Ida–Pingala–Sushumna, other nadis are referenced — yogic body science is not limited to three channels.

Brain patterns and Bhramari pranayama

The closing segment presents Bhramari pranayama and Om chanting as simple paths to brain activation — closing the ears, gentle pressure, humming, and opening the eyes slowly afterward. This is the practical core of Day 1.

Mind–intellect–memory–ego: a glimpse of the next links

The dialogue reaches frames of mind, intellect, memory (chitta), ego, and self. Day 1 does not open all of this fully but points the direction: yoga is not only physical exercise but understanding and refining inner structure.
