Buddhi Insights: Multiple Gateways to the Same Brain
May 30, 2026
Share
In this episode of Buddhi Insight, we recount a compelling debate from the Indian Federation of Neurorehabilitation’s annual congress held in Mumbai, India. The discussion features a friendly but profound counter to Prof. Michael Thot, a world leader in Neurological Music Therapy (NMT). While NMT brings exceptional protocol-driven rigor to movement disorders, this episode explores the broader horizons of neural recovery. We dive into how traditional music, mirror therapy, yoga, and mindfulness act not as competing alternatives, but as diverse gateways into a complex, adaptive neural network. Highlighting real-world success, we share the integrative treatment story of a patient recovering from long-COVID dysautonomia (POTS) at the Buddhi Clinic using transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (TAVNS), psychology, and ancient Indic practices. Tune in to discover why rehabilitation must be measured not just in linear data, but in the totality of human experience.
