We have multiple ways to detox body, but how to detoxify the brain?

Very important question, Sneha. I think it voices many people’s concern. It is true that there are many ways to detoxify your body. But, haven’t you noticed that all that comes back to zero the moment you stop geometrical posturing? Of course, the relapse time may vary from person to person. Why does this happen? The answer to this will answer your query too.
The body toxins return as soon as you stop workouts—yoga, walk, jog, run, cycling, cardio, weights or whatever. It is because the body works out your will to clean and nourish it till you motivationally enforce your will on it. Agreed? The moment you are lax, your body slumps back into a complacent mode. It is because, the neuorological impulses that your brain relayed to your muscles have dulled out. That means you have been ignoring the third party involvement in the entire workout unconsciously. That third party is the brain. In fact, the real clean-up job starts with the brain itself. So we have to get our priorities right here. Consciously enforce your will on the brain and make it relay the same to the body. This is the right neurological way. But, the will should enforce itself on the brain as a motivator and not as a tyrant. The moment you motivate your brain, it releases happy hormones along with the command to the body systems. Result: You feel good. How to get it done? Now we have to understand the Indian rishis’ ways to do it. Before starting yoga, they would strenghthen their brain with a praising prayer to the lord, like the very tried and tested Gayatri Mantra (that your family follows and you too). Ha ha ha. Gayatri mantra is a vibratory release with a general meaning—“O Lord inspire our brains with your energy/light and guide us…” When you release this vibration within and without, it gives the command to the brain to do exactly what is prayed to the Lord—inspire the body-mind system accordingly. What does the brain do then? It releases certain chemicals which unclog nerves of micro and nano toxins to ensure instant command relay to all the body parts. Now what is this vibratory exercise doing? It is connecting the brain to its causal source—power, sun, God—and becoming a medium to relay the same to the body mind system. You know vibrations alone can travel in the space and the space with mediums. When the brain is tuned to the causal vibration, it receives the energy and releases it to the body (the earth) like the sun (direct energy) and the moon (nourishing energy).
The idea of detailing this is to tell you that there is a link between words, vibrations, your brain system and your body. In Chapter 7 of the Gita, Krishna says रसोऽहमप्सु कौन्तेय प्रभास्मि शशिसूर्ययो । प्रणव: सर्ववेदेषु शब्द: खे पौरुषं नृषु ।।
What is the most observable property of water? It is the vibration. You touch it and it will ripple. Here the word ras means that vibratory energy which holds the water elements together. Krishna says, “ I am the vibratory energy in the water, the same I vibrate in the sun and the moon as the light, in whatever you perceive as an energising word (pranava) and in the space as an inaudible sound (shabda), in every person (Nrishu) as its individuality—bodily character (Paurusham).
Therefore, begin your exercises with the vibratory input to the brain. This vibratory input detoxifies your brain. When your brain and body are in the same tuning, they will both detoxify themselves. Through continued practice, this will go into the auto mode and a mere thought will unclog you brain and body. I guess you are a science student. Please read it again if you can’t get it in one go.--VS
