12. Some Healthy Tips for All • Learn to do Ganesh Kriya and AshwiniMudra 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.

13. Last Words • These camps do not offer a dieting program. They constitute a spiritual journey that starts from and focuses on the physical – whose well-being 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.
