Initiates explain that the physical brain is not the mind nor the originator of thought. The brain is a vehicle, the intermediary between internal psychological processes and physical life. Initiates also demonstrate how the mind is a form of matter, energy, and perception within subtler dimensions of nature. This is most evident when we dream within the fifth dimension, either in the famous Theosophical astral body (कामरूपा kama rupa) or mental body (मनस् manas), the latter which grants us the capacity to think.

However, when the mental body becomes sick, physical illness is the outcome. The mind or mental body is a useful instrument when it is healthy, strong, and aligned with divinity. But when it is sick or depleted of vital energy, it cannot operate optimally, nor serve in the spiritual work.

The mantras S M HON help heal sicknesses of the mental body. In combination with professional treatment, the mantras S M HON can help alleviate symptoms of mental illness, since they transmute sexual energy into the mental body and procure its regeneration. Be mindful that these mantras only work in combination with chastity, meditation, and deep psychological work upon the ego. Through the conservation and transmutation of sexual energy, these mantras radically empower the consciousness, allowing it to control, balance, and heal the mind.

Ham-Sah Pranayama is an essential technique for conserving and elevating creative energy from the sexual organs to the mind and heart. When the consciousness is empowered by sexual energy, it has greater activity, potential, and strength to perform the spiritual work.
