The pursuit of pleasure seeps into all aspects of our lives, from a desire for our favorite dessert to the goals we set to create a successful and happy life. What makes one person happy isn’t necessarily what triggers happiness in another. Cultural factors, personal history, and even our individual biology affect our ability to experience pleasure.
According to Neuroscience News: “Pleasure itself – that good feeling you get in response to food, sex and drugs – is driven by the release of a range of neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) in many parts of the brain. But dopamine release in the brain’s reward system is particularly important. Dopamine release tells the brain when to expect something rewarding, modulates how rewarding it will be and drives us to seek rewarding things.” Science tends to define the experience of pleasure through the mental states occurring in our brain. But is that all there is to it? What about the other organs in the body? Do they contribute to our ability to experience or enhance pleasure?
Sadhguru brings clarity about the pineal gland, an object of mystery and confusion for many seekers. He explains how yogic processes are designed to activate the pineal gland, which can create a sense of ecstasy and pleasure beyond anything a person would otherwise know.
