Youth Posture for Balance & Elasticity

Having assumed the posture, we proceed with the rocking motions as before - forward, backward, side to side, and rotational. Here entirely new muscle groups come into play for unlocking stagnant forces within them and releasing active energy blocks. The currents thus liberated are used in the succeeding posture applications explained in the following chapters. The posture stretching exercises described so far constitute a complete series of daily exercise for general health maintenance. But for persons who need special help, a series of self-help applications have been added in Chapter 22 and are based on the same foundation: namely, allowing the released currents to do the work as Nature intended.

PLEASE NOTE: THE POSTURE STRETCHING EXERCISES CONTAINED IN THIS BOOK ARE INTENDED FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF NORMAL HEALTH AND, THROUGH BETTER ENERGY FLOW, THE IMPROVEMENT OF DRAGGING, SUB-NORMAL, CHRONIC CONDITIONS WHICH DO NOT READILY RESPOND TO THE USUAL REMEDIES AND TREATMENT. THE OBJECT OF THIS PRESENTATION IS NOT SELF-DIAGNOSIS OR SELF-TREATMENT IN CASE OF ILLNESS. WHEN ILL, DO CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN.

Youthfulness as Physical & Spiritual Health

In kidney trouble these squatting postures are also very helpful as a home remedy. The squatting exercise frees the space of pressure and gases where the kidneys are, and the downward airy energy of "apana" can then function more freely in expelling wastes - solids, liquids, or gases. When the body becomes water-logged and too heavy, it is because the kidneys are not functioning enough.

It has been observed that in all cases of chronic indigestion, the kidneys do not function freely. Their overnight output is very small in quantity, when the repair of tissue and drainage should be taking place. The process of digestion is also dependent on the downward flow of the life energy to accomplish the combustion and oxidation of foods and liquids.
