This video gives us a deeper understanding of the structure of the brain, how it is not a single entity but two, and some beautiful teachings from<strong>\u00a0Yogamaharishi Swami Gitananda Giri<\/strong>\u00a0who gave the concept of<strong>\u00a0three brains<\/strong>\u00a0resonating with the earth, the moon, and the sun.
