Tantra Yoga’s contributions to human therapeutics
Throughout history, human beings have sought ways to restore themselves to health when health is lost. Different cultures and religions have developed a variety of approaches to therapy according to their ontologies, theologies and definitions of disease. On the one hand, for example, the Christian Scientist blames an unhealthy distance from God as a cause of disease, whereas Western medicine describes disease as an objectively measurable pathology of the body.
Everything in our universe pulsates to a certain tune, especially our daily existence on planet Earth. This daily rhythm is guided by the circadian system of the human body, which consists of a central 'biological master clock', located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus, and peripherally located biological clocks, which are found in most tissues such as the heart and liver.
