40 years of Zen...

Dave Asprey is an American entrepreneur and author, who is best known for his firm - The Bulletproof 360 Inc., his branded product - The Bulletproof coffee, and his bestselling book - The Bulletproof diet.

But if you ask him, he will call himself a biohacker. He says he has hacked his body, understood how it works and has designed a diet and lifestyle that reverses aging. He claims he will live for 180 years!!!

He has also ventured into the scarcely gone arena of hacking the mind. He does something called "40 years of Zen". This is so very interesting.

"40 years of Zen" is a 5 day programme that brings you the benefits of 21 to 40 years of advanced Zen meditation.

Participants are hooked up to some of the most cutting edge, specialized equipment that measure brain waves and give live feedback. They are taught various meditation techniques and for each technique, they are given feedback as to what type of brain waves are generated.

Just for context:

Alpha waves = High creativity, compassion, insight, love. Theta waves = Flashes of creativity and intuition. Delta waves = Altering reality.

The 5 day programme takes the participants through intense sessions that are designed to optimize these brain waves. The programme claims that at the end of all the sessions the participants minds are exactly like those of Zen monks who have been meditating for 21 to 40 years. Amazing, isn't it?

Here is what hit me the hardest!

Vishen Lakhiani, the author of the amazing book The Code of the extraordinary mind, took the programme. He says that the single biggest practice that increases the generation of alpha brain waves is Forgiveness.

The bulk of the 5 day programme is designed to identify, accept, come to terms with, and remove feelings of grudge, resentment and anger, which are storehouses of negative energies that pull back creativity and insight.

The wires and the machines prove what sages and monks have been saying for long - Anger and resentment hurt the holder more than their object.

For the curious minds, the programme costs between USD 15000 to 25000 (Approximately 12 to 20 lacs INR). Yeah! Expensive! The other way is to meditate for 40 years. :-)

Hope the Bulletproof diet works wonders for you! 😊

Oh! Thank you I just saw this, thank you so much! It's difficult to do with the dietary restrictions I already live with bc of my chronic illness, so it's been hard figuring out what I can eat but it's exciting. The science behind it all is fascinating. We shall see. For me it's about reducing inflammation (the author as well as his wife both had autoimmune diseases that I have that they found went into remission on this diet) and feeling better as much as possible, again, with the sicknesses I have (as opposed to losing weight, it's not that kind of diet. I mean it is, people lose weight on it, but I'm doing it for the other aspect of it as well as nutrition in general as I'm constantly severely malnourished). Anyways that was a lot, I kinda went off into it there for a sec. Thanks again!

And again if anyone else out there happens to be doing bulletproof or the coffee or is reading The Bulletproof Diet or Superhuman or is into biohacking, lmk! I'm interested.

How to upgrade white rice for better gut health. How to incorporate more resistant starch in your diet

How to upgrade white rice for better gut health. How to incorporate more resistant starch in your diet

I wrote in my previous blog that I personally do not like to eat rice anymore because it raises my blood glucose level too much. A cup of the cooked grain carries with it roughly 200 calories, most of which comes in the form of starch, which turns into sugar, and often thereafter body fat. If my body needs starch, I’d rather each sweet potatoes or pumpkins. However, I just read an interesting…

How Omega 3 can help you stay fit in Thailand: PART 2: what is the best Omega 3 supplement?

(Continued from Part 1) [OMEGA 3S SUPPLEMENTS] This is why I’ve been taking Omega 3 supplement just to make sure I have a good, well-balanced intake of fatty acids throughout the week. If I had a ‘cheat meal’ and I knew that I took too much Omega 6 containing foods, then I just take a bit more of fish oil. I got obsessed with this topic because I just want the best for my baby since I am still…

How Omega 3 s can help you stay fit in Thailand: PART 1 – Omega 6 rich food is making us weak

I just let my husband read this blog and after a few minutes, he says “wow this is long!” (honesty is his best quality). It was supposed to be a short entry but somehow I got carried away because it is an important topic. So I did split the post in 2 parts. If you just want to read why we are taking the liquid form of extra virgin cod liver oil as a source of Omega 3s, just go to Part 2. If you…
