Colds, Flu, and the Chakras

[Guest guest]

Greeting from Texas, and Sat Nam Y'all...........

It is that time of the year again when folks herebouts in the

Northern Hemisphere are busy catching colds and the flu. This morning I

took a long hotish shower and with the flow adjusted to about medium, my

 

35 gallon water heater said I love you to me for about 15 to 20 minutes.

 

It starts into finially cooling down slowly over the course of a couple

minutes. I shut it off just when I had gotten about 10 seconds of real

cold.

If someone has a cold or the flu, the hot water sure feels

wonderful, but should one be heating up the epidermis? The cold at the

end of the shower feels awakening and reviving, but by-golly it can make

 

you feel that you are about to jump out of your skin. Is that dangerous

when one is weak from the Virus'? I know there are some folks here that

know a heap more about this than me;-)

 

Mike(in Texas where the winters are short, and aint really much to

complain about;-)

Sat Nam Mike:

 

There is a procedure using a hot bath which is excellent for ridding

the body of toxins and helping to throw off colds, flu, and such.

 

Fill a very hot bath - hot as you can stand it, and submerge as much

of the body, particularly the upper body - one of those inflatable

pillows is helpful.

 

Now, inhale, exhale, hold the breath out, and pump the navel point 26

times, and then repeat this procedure for 15 minutes.

 

Finish off by taking a cold shower (tepid if you are ill or

menstruating), and wrap yourself up in blankets for at least an hour.

 

Every time I feel like I'm getting something, I do this, and it never

goes any farther.

 

Cold showers are excellent for stimulating and developing the powers

of the immune system, but if you are already sick, may be a bit much.

 

BTW, "cold" showers specifically mean a water temperature of 56-65

(13-18 C). Under 56 is considered "very cold", and is not necessary

for the (many) standard benefits of cold showers, although the

extreme temperatures

 

> you feel that you are about to jump out of your skin. Is that

>dangerous

 

I suspect that jumping out of your skin could be dangerous at any

time

 

Many blessings,

I've also tried the hot bath navel pumping procedure, but I find if the

water is more than warm to hot I get really dizzy and feel as though I'm

going to pass out. Any ideas for combating this ?

I have the same problem. I have been told that it is related to blood

pressure problems, and it is better to avoid very hot baths in that case.

Probably some good things to do would be exercises that help your heart and

circulatory system. If anybody has any helpful ideas, I would love to hear

them too!

 

Peace and blessings,

Dear Hot Bath Lovers:

 

Yes, very hot baths should be avoided with variety of blood-related

problems, such as anemia, high blood pressure, tendency to

hemorrhage, etc.

 

One thing that many people find helpful is to keep a cold washcloth

handy to put on the forehead. I am not usually bothered by the hot

water, but I still like the cold compress.

 

Sat Nam!
