Dosing on Dopamine. How Your 'Happy Hormones' Transforms Everything. Dear Friend,
Remember this acronym : DOSE.
The letters stand for: D = Dopamine, O = Oxytocin, S = Serotonin, E = Endorphin.
These are the 4 brain chemicals (neurotransmitters ) which give you the feelings of being: loved-up, on-top-of-the-world, worth-a-million-dollars and ready-for-anything (not necessarily in that order).
Because of their effect, they are usually referred to as the 'Happiness Hormones'.
To increase your DOSE, various 'hacks' have been suggested. These include getting more sunlight (serotonin); getting more exercise (endorphin); laughing more (dopamine); cooking and eating together (oxytocin).
If you can do all of that then great. But let's be honest, life keeps getting in the way. You've got other things to think about. Here's the short-cut.
The ancient texts on Kundalini implies that there is way to an effortless high DOSE.
Verse 106 of the Shri Lalita Sahasranama ( '1000 Names of the Goddess') says:
* 106 * Sudha sarabhi varshini - She who makes nectar flow in all our nerves from sahasrara i.e. she who gives the very pleasant experience of the ultimate
The Sanskrit word 'Varshini' means 'rain' and 'Sudha' means 'the thing that gives delight or bliss'. So, like rain, the thing that gives delight falls continuously.
When you feel good inside, all or most of the time, it begins to seep into your day-to-day life. This is how your daily kundalini meditation is transforming you. More below.
