Self- pulse reading (Maharishi Nadi Vigyan) is a natural way of measuring the expressions of our consciousness in the physiology.

8. The Body Is An Expression of the Inner Intelligence
How many cells do we have?…
How many chemical reactions in each cell per second?

9. Main Point 1
The pulse measures the level of balance and imbalance in the physiology.
Putting our attention on the pulse helps balance it.

So my message for every individual is to have this knowledge of the inner intelligence of the body, and on this basis live perfection in life.
