Exercises for Constipation

By Editor

Swinging Arms

Swinging the arms can help to stimulate many internal organs including the stomach and the intestines.

- This exercise is better to be practiced in the morning with the standing position, facing the East.
- Spread the legs as wide as the shoulders. The legs are parallel like number 11.
- Always roll your tongue while you swing your arms.
- With both hands down, shake them. Let the arms move further back as the result of the shaking.
- Swing the arms to the front until the tips of the fingers reach the navel height and then shake the hands down. Repeat this step 500 - 1,000 times

- At the same time, breathe in and out normally.
- During the exercise, concentrate always on the fingertips and also do the counting while shaking your hands.

See-Kong Exercise

- Start with the still pose. After you have accomplished the See-Kong power, finish off by trying to hold the life breath in the stomach and release it through the stomach and the intestines. (Please look up in "The Power of Mind - Beat All Illnesses" for further information)

- Focus your mind until you feel the warmth running from both palms to the abdominal cavity.
- Focus your mind until you feel the warmth running from both palms to the abdominal cavity. Move your hands clockwise. For each circle, move slowly. Then gradually expand the circle like the coil used to prevent mosquitoes. Continue the exercise until the circle covers all the abdominal cavity area.
- During the exercise, you will feel the warmth circulating in the stomach. You may feel like the intestines have moved and may want to pass the fecal matter.

Yoga

Yoga allows you to exercise your body and at the same time your mind. Apart from exercises, some of the yoga poses are also very suitable for treatments for several illnesses.

In order to gain a complete yoga, you should start with "Suriyon Namassakarn" which is derived from "Hatha Yoga" or do the yoga dance, an exercise with the musical accompaniment, from "Than Tra Yoga."

Preparation
