Some Health Tips for All Learn to do Ganesh Kriya and Ashwini Mudra during defecation for complete cleansing. Bathe, preferrably under a shower, with closed eyes, for atleast 15-20 minutes. Give up the morning bed tea used to stimulate the bowel movement; instead use lime water etc. and some stretching exercises. Know, that for health more important than nourishing the body is cleansing the body of accumulated toxins. Try to take only liquid diet until noon, so that the morning hours can be used completely for cleansing the body. Try to defecate and eat solid food when the right nostril is active; urinate and take liquids when the left nostril is more active.
Last Words These camps do not offer a dieting program. They constitute a spiritual journey that starts from and focuses on the physical whose wellbeing is essential for the overall spiritual growth. The idea is to help every individual connect to the source of energy present within him/her. Successful completion implies total awakening and strengthening of the fire element in the body the key to health, longevity and spiritual evolution.
