Concept of Shadchakra in Ayurveda and Yoga: Its Role in Pranic Healing and Holistic Health

International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharma Research June 7, 2026 T.N Haritha, Alfi Albert, Ravi Kumar et al.

The Shadchakra system, describing six energy centers along the spine, is a cornerstone of Ayurvedic and Yogic philosophy. Modern research correlates these centers with anatomical structures and psycho-neuro-immunological pathways, lending credibility to their therapeutic use. Evidence from studies on Chakra-based practices like Pranayama, Mantra therapy, and meditation shows measurable improvements in stress biomarkers, autonomic nervous system balance, neuroendocrine function, and psychological well-being. This review synthesizes classical texts and modern research to propose a model for clinical applications in holistic health, psychosomatic medicine, and integrative oncology.

IMPORTANCE OF VIPASSANA (BUDDHIST MEDITATION) IN THE PANDEMIC OF COVID-19: A REVIEW

International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharma Research March 29, 2021

Vipassana, an ancient Buddhist meditation meaning 'insight' or mindfulness, is reviewed as a practice that may help people cope with suffering during the Covid-19 pandemic. The paper argues that Vipassana, based on the Buddha's teachings of impermanence (Anicca), suffering (Dukkha), and non-substantiality (Anatta), offers an approach to living with constant change. It notes growing demand for unconventional medicine and suggests Vipassana has numerous health benefits, though no specific evidence or data is provided.
