Some exercises for natural healing.
Health and natural medicine exercises.
Natural medicine is based upon keeping a good health, not on
exploiting illness. This exercises will help you to keep healthy
and to live longer to gain awareness.
Upon waking up, before getting out of bed, crack a smile and
stretch like a cat.
Stretch your arms and legs and roll over all around three or four
times.
Make sounds of pleasure, audible sounds of pleasure, and crack
your joints.
You will get up refreshed and rested.
This routine will take three minutes from your schedule. As soon
as you get up, sit facing East and practice the open focus
exercise we described in the chapter on meditation.
Breathe through the nose in a gentle, relaxed way, relax your
limbs as much as you can. Use cushions or pillows to get more
comfortable. Put your awareness on your visual field and for 10
minutes keep your attention on all the points of your visual
field.
It's like watching a tree and giving your attention to the
foliage as a whole, and not focusing on each individual leaf
sequentially.
The exercise is not
easy.
If you drift away, focus on one point of the room or start
planning your day's schedule, do not feel bad.
Get back to giving your attention to your visual field as a
whole.
With daily practice, you will feel like a mirror, reflecting the
reality of the moment to its tiniest details, but not being
involved in it.
This is the witness position.
This will take daily around 20 minutes of your time.
It satisfies the need to perceive reality and to transcend the
individuality, the ego, the personality.
As soon as you have contacted the witness, get on your feet
slowly, and go through the tai chi chuan form.
See if you can be a witness throughout the form.
We recommend the 37 movements form, yang style, developed by Chen
Man Ching.
This routine will take 6 minutes of your time.
You can find a description of this form
in our internet pages. The practice of the tai chi chuan form
involves all the joints in the body in a gentle and natural way.
And introduces motion in your meditation practice.
It is one of the best physical exercises.
If you don't know the form yet, just walk or do the zen walk .
If possible walk barefoot or just wear socks, walk very, very
slowly and with full awareness of everything that happens within
your field of consciousness for 6 minutes.
Move in slow motion, walking for 6 minutes.
Keep your attention on the tan tien, at the centre of your
body.
You can walk in circles inside a room, but remember , very , VERY
slowly.
Refer to the chapter on the form.
Eat IF AND ONLY IF hungry.
Hunger, the need for food, is felt in the stomach , not in the
head.
If you feel hunger in your stomach, eat.
If not, don't.
Stop eating before you feel sated.
Refuse to eat junk food.
Treat yourself to healthy eating.
Particularly, ban saccharose and sodium chloride, supermarket
sugar and salt from your diet.
Replace them with unrefined cane sugar or honey and sea
salt.
Use unprocessed foodstuffs when possible.
Drink only when thirsty. Do not drink large amounts of liquid
with your meals.
These exercises will take no extra time out of your schedule.
They satisfy the needs of eating and drinking.
During the day,use all the waiting time (for a bus, a cab, the
subway, a seat, an elevator....) to practice open focus, chi kung
or qi qong.
Breathe out all the air in your lungs and take a deep breath
several times a day. We recommend the exercise or asana
"Uddiyana Bandha" from the yoga tradition. Try doing
this exercise in places where the air is as pure as possible. In
cities get on the rooftop of a tall building to avoid inhaling
lead molecules. Avoid doing these exercises less than three hours
after a meal. These routines will take no time out of your
schedule. They satisfy the need to breathe.
When you feel the need to defecate or to urinate do not delay ,
satisfy it straight away. Procrastination leads to diseases of
the excretory and urinary systems. This practice will take no
time out of your schedule and satisfies the need to
evacuate.
Share a 10 minutes massage (give and receive) with your partner
or friend. This will take 20 minutes from your schedule. We
recommend the short sequence of Thai massage.
Hormones from the opposite sex increase longevity. Remember their
absorption happens naturally through the mucous membranes and
epithelium of the sexual organs.
It is proved that frequent safe sex improves health.
Before going to bed repeat the tai chi chuan form and open focus
meditation. Or Zen walk and open focus.
This will take you 16 to 26 minutes.
Crystals are the most perfect forms in the mineral kingdom.
Introduce these reminders of perfection in your life. If you are
new to crystals, we recommend that you use an uncast Amethyst.
Hang it around your neck. Treat it with love. Clean it weekly by
soaking it overnight in rain water saturated with sea salt. In
the morning throw away the water on your manure pile.
You will have to buy sea salt, remember, sea salt and the sodium
chloride sold as salt are two different things. Sea salt is a
compound containing traces of almost every element known to man.
Sodium chloride contains just sodium and chlorine. Use unrefined
sea salt for your food, in moderate amounts. (no more than half a
teaspoonful a day).
If you practice these exercises or routines daily, your health
will improve and your longevity will increase.
You will only use up an hour of your time and will get 100 to 1
returns.
