"Yoga"? Delusion XIV
I once heard from a yoga instructor that nettles are home to mosquitoes.
And I understood this to mean that the mosquitoes in the last birth were nettles. I have built my own Theory of Evolution on this basis.
Once, I proudly shared my thoughts with society.
"Let's look at a nettle thorn. Does it look like anything?" So I began my presentation with a question.
"Of course! Like a mosquito's nose!" I answered myself.
................
Sometimes a mosquito home is just a home...
Apparently it meant that mosquitoes live in nettles.
People often ask me: "Well, what did your yoga give you?"
Exactly. With "Well". And with "Your".
Previously, I embarked on a heated debate, arguing how useful it was, looking for "weighty" arguments.
Now I just shrug.
After all, usually such a question was followed by an argument like "Here I have an apartment, a cottage in the village, a car, a family. What do you have with yoga?" Now with an emphasis on "You".
And then some of my "arguments".
Let's look at the trigeminal nerve.
Where does the middle part of the nerve go? What is this nerve reading there?
Once upon a time there was a mustache. Not the ones under the lip. And like a cat.
Vibrissae. That have disappeared. But the nerve remained! If the nerve has not disappeared as unnecessary, then it is needed and works.
How do vibrissae work? React to air vibrations. The cat vibrates the air with its whiskers, creating micro-vibrations of the air. Air reflected from obstacles is analyzed by vibrissae. This is how the cat complements the picture of the world. This is from science.
How do we apply this to our case?
How do human vibrissae work?
But they are not there?
But the middle branch of the trigeminal nerve comes to the cheeks.
What for?
What is there to measure?
At first glance, it may seem insignificant, shallow. But under certain circumstances, this ability can save lives. It saved me.
Somehow it so happened that I was locked in the apartment. Not by chance. But not maliciously either.
My partners and I rented an apartment. Like an office. For some reason, the locks on the front door were all so arranged that they were opened and closed with keys not only from the outside but also from the inside.
The set of keys was the same for all. And it so happened that my partners had to leave, and I decided to stay in the apartment and get some sleep.
They locked me in the apartment from the outside with keys and left, taking the keys. I lay down and fell asleep.
I woke up with a strange sensation, which I realized only later. I went to the kitchen and accidentally saw that the gas supply lever on the gas water heater was turned to the maximum, and there was no fire in the column. Gas entered the apartment in a fairly strong stream. For some reason, all windows, despite the heat, were closed. There are bars on the windows. I am locked. I can't leave the apartment.
I turned off the gas, opened all the windows, stuck my nose out through the window of the back room and breathed in this way until I thought that the gas had dissipated.
Trigeminal nerve saved me. Which, I'm sure, all people have this ability. This seems to be ignored and not used. And I paid attention. And I use it.
By the way, cases with gas leaks in the room happened to me, I won't say often, but they did happen several times. And these cases, although not as dangerous as with a gas water heater, could have ended unpleasantly enough. But I usually found gas leaks quickly.
I discovered this ability for a long time. I'll make a reservation that I do not consider this an ability, I think that all people have it.
I grew up in a house with central heating. But once I got into a house with wood heating and was sitting near the stove. It was then that I drew attention to the phenomenon that is commonly called "cheeks are on fire." But then I didn't draw any conclusions.
I drew the conclusion much later.
My partner and I were sitting in a cafe. The cafe had a fireplace. My cheeks began to burn. I remembered my feelings near that very wood-burning stove a long time ago, looked at the fireplace and it dawned on me that this was not a reaction to heat.
Then I said to my partner: "Pay attention, their fireplace is poorly insulated. There are a lot of combustion products from wood in the room."
I don’t remember my partner’s reaction, but he didn’t seem to be surprised, and therefore I thought that he also noticed it. But, apparently, he did not realize until I pointed it out to him directly.
It was probably not the insulation of the fireplace, but the poor ventilation. I noticed that when heating a room, people sometimes tend to save heat and do not pay enough attention to the freshness of the air. I always try to equip the house with a fan.
And now I sit, heating the house with electricity. Which is expensive enough. But it is safer than firewood. And a powerful exhaust fan is running.
All the same, the cheeks are burning. Little. This air loses oxygen on contact with a hot metal surface.
I have only talked about one function of the trigeminal nerve. Branches of this nerve that go to the organ of smell provide you with a good sense of smell. And to the disappeared vibrissae.
What else can the trigeminal nerve do?
