Water

Water has many curative properties. 70% of our body is just water. Taking 1.5 litres of water first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach is called water therapy.

Water therapy has many proven curative properties on many ailments. Foremost of them is the ability to clean up the digestive system and flush the system. This renders the colon fresh and clean. A healthy digestive system becomes a source of a healthy life. Food, as we all know is the vital source of energy to our body and it's operations.

Apart from a good digestive system, water therapy also helps in keeping up the water content in the body. When the body is drained of the water, even the mind is crippled. A healthy water intake can stimulate the brain cells and keep us active throughout the day.

Tummy Breathing

Breathe out and feel the body relaxing. Breathing, an involuntary activity, when done with awareness can calm your mind, relax your body and elate your senses towards your soul.

I've tried this technique of tummy breathing and have realized quite a lot of benefits.

• Breathe out completely
• Push your tummy out and suck as much air as possible through your nostrils,
• Breathe out completely

When in empty stomach, you could do this by breathing out as fast as you can.

Do it in a relaxed posture with your back straight.

After a few minutes, you'll feel your breathing calms down, and your body will manage with very little breathing and the frequency too reduces significantly.

If you can do this consciously throughout your waking hours, you'll feel a surge of creative energy in you. Just concentrate on pushing out all the air from your body and the tummy movement. Let the 'breathing in' happen automatically.
