Man Bun and the Medulla - the true location of the Ajna Chakra

Summary

, 9 min

Why the medulla oblongata, not the forehead, is the true location of the ajna chakra, and how the man bun traces back to India's rishis. Covers finding the medulla with the heart mind through an aha moment, and a wall stretch, chin in and crown up, that opens the medulla and corrects meditation posture.
