Relaxation

Relaxing after exercising is as important as exercising. While exercising, our body is heated up. Hence it is very important that we relax lying down simply with the eyes closed and cool down our body. While doing this, we have to imagine each and part of the body, from toes to head and feel that they are relaxed. We can even sleep for sometime if we feel like. 

Relaxation pacifies the entire body and helps us swing into the normal chores after exercising.

Acupressure

                                     

In this step, we touch the specific acupressure points on the body to stimulate them and equalize the short circuiting of the energy flow through various channels (called meridians in acupuncture). 

• This is a very good preventive exercise for blood pressure and heart attack.
• As the energy flow is regulated, pain in the body parts is relieved. Pain is nothing but a short circuit of energy in the channels carrying energy in the form of electrical pulses to the parts of our body. So pain is felt in the place where there is a short circuit. If this short circuiting is not treated and it is prolonged, ends up in a disease in that part.
• This also helps in reducing the stress and strain in the nervous system.
• Helps cure insomnia. Promotes good sleep.

Massage

                     
                   

In this part of the exercise we are massaging the stomach area, breasts, ears, temples and the face.

By massaging, we are actually regulating the distribution of bio magnetic energy through the parts. As we know, availability of bio magnetic energy is the key to proper functioning of the body parts.

• As we massage the stomach area, all the internal organs like stomach, liver, small intestine are stimulated and this helps in proper digestion of food we intake.
• Massaging around the breasts ensures that the bio magnetic energy is equally distributed throughout and there is no fat accumulation around them, preventing breast cancer.
• Massaging the ears and their peripheries cures hearing impairments. And as per auriculotherapy, this is equivalent to massaging all the internal organs. because there are acupressure points of all the organ channels on the peripheries of the ears.
• Massaging the face upwards and downwards stimulates blood flow throughout the face and helps it glowing.

Benefits...posture wise

        

  

If we tilt a bottle containing a liquid thoroughly, the contents get distributed evenly throughout the bottle. Likewise, by moving the parts of our body in all possible directions, we distribute blood flow evenly throughout our body. Hence heat circulation, air circulation and bio magnetic energy circulation in the body is regulated. 

Note that we get pain or disease in a particular part of our body only if any of these three circulations is confused (more or less) or ceased.

HAND EXERCISE:

• Hands and shoulders are strengthened. Their rarely used muscles and joints are exercised.
• Trembling of limbs, joint pain, numbness, arthritis are cured.

LEG EXERCISE:

• Legs are strengthened.
• Blood circulation in stomach and abdomen is regulated.
• Sciatica, rheumatoid arthritis, joint pain, numbness are cured.
• The meridians that carry energy to all the organs end up in our feet and hands. By massaging the pressure points in the feet, we activate the nerves of all the important internal organs like heart, lungs, stomach, pancreas, spleen, intestines, liver, kidneys, sexual organs and glands, head region, brain, spinal cord etc.
